Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 488

Simon opened his mouth to reply, but Maeve's voice suddenly crackled through the speakers. "Just to be clear, if he lives for exactly seven more days, I pass?"

Audrey crossed her arms. "That's right. Seven days. That's your one and only win condition."

Maeve gave a curt nod. "Done. I accept."

Not only did Audrey look stunned, but up in the executive suite, Simon and Connor exchanged shocked glances. Neither of them had expected her to agree so quickly.

"Does she genuinely not understand how dead this guy is?" Connor asked the screen.

With massive organ failure and cancer ravaging the man's body, he had hours left. Where was she getting this reckless confidence?

The shock faded, replaced by a slow, hungry smile on Simon's lips. "That's my girl. I love a woman with a backbone." If Maeve had backed down, he would have been profoundly disappointed.

Down in the sterile isolation unit of Sub-Level 4, Maeve cut straight to business. "When can I start the treatments?"

"As soon as you sign the liability forms," Audrey replied.

Maeve raised an eyebrow. "Forms?"

"Of course."
