His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 805

Flynn was the one who invited Wade out for drinks again, but this time, Wade was the one who got drunk. The red handprint from Ramona's slap was still visible on his cheek that evening. Flynn noticed it but deliberately said nothing.

At first, Wade was his usual quiet self, sipping his drink while Flynn did all the talking, complaining about how difficult their line of work was. Sure, top-tier lawyers like them made a fortune, but it was a life they paid for with their health, constantly walking a tightrope where one misstep could cost them their entire career and future.

Wade listened in silence, nursing his drink, but gradually, the alcohol loosened his tongue and he began to talk more. Once liquor was involved, people tended to become more impulsive. Wade rarely gossiped, especially about Ramona. He had never imagined he would end up in the same boat as her.

As a man, he told himself, it was only natural to be captivated by a beautiful woman. When Ramona first told him that the patriarch had to die to keep the tampered will a secret, Wade hadn't believed she would actually go through with it. After all, the patriarch had been her biggest supporter in the family, the one who had treated her with the most kindness. Besides, it was murder. Wade simply hadn't thought she had it in her.

He imagined she might bribe a doctor to give Hayes a drug that would induce a coma or dementia. But then, the patriarch really died. His death was sudden, attributed to a heart attack that no one in the Quinn family found suspicious. Ramona never explicitly said, "I killed him," but Wade knew in his gut that she was the murderer.
