Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 867

It was a soft, delicate woman's voice, laced with an undeniable edge of arrogance and provocation.

The voice wasn't coming from the room itself. It was being routed through an audio transmitter.

But Maeve recognized the voice instantly.

"Nancy Grover!"

Nancy truly was a high-level opponent.

She hadn't even shown her face yet, but she was already establishing dominance.

A distinct, airy chuckle from Nancy drifted out of the speaker.

"We've known of each other for so long now. I decided to send you a little welcome gift to show my sincerity. I hope it isn't too disappointing."

Maeve caught the underlying meaning in her words.

"So you're already admitting that the Nancy parading around before was just a fake you pushed out to fool everyone?"

Nancy showed zero embarrassment at having her secret exposed.

"Andres has good taste. He didn't just find some idiot to replace me while I was away."

"Thanks to your little schemes, The Impostor has already been reduced to dust."

"Your actions cost me a valuable pawn."

"But it's fine. Pawns are meant to be sacrificed."

"Whoever makes it to the end is the real winner of this game."

"Ah, listen to me rambling. I almost forgot to deliver your gift."

"That girl on the screen swore up and down that she would never betray you."

"I never buy into empty promises like that."

"So, Maeve, how about a bet?"

"Let's bet on just how cheap human nature truly is when faced with reality."

A sharp snap of fingers echoed through the video feed.

The Clown held up a prepared piece of paper to the camera.

The contents were utterly vile.

Nancy's crystal-clear laughter rang out from the speaker.

"I told you I was sending a gift. I guarantee you'll remember it for the rest of your life."

"Aren't you curious to see if the girl who vowed never to betray you turns into a fake friend the second her life is on the line?"

"That slap was just an appetizer."

"Human nature crumbles under pressure. Let's see what happens."

As soon as Nancy finished speaking, The Clown grabbed Daisy's jaw.

"Read it, and you live. For every five minutes you refuse, I pull out one of your fingernails."

Death itself wasn't scary; it was the agonizing torture preceding death that truly broke people.

Even Maeve assumed that anyone faced with life or death would bow to authority.

After all, she and Daisy weren't nearly close enough to die for each other.

She had reminded Daisy more than once that their relationship was purely transactional.
