My Ex-Husband Always Knew That I Had Cheated on Him

Chapter 384: Chapter 377: I’ve Made Up My Mind—I’ll Accept Your Offer

"It’s okay, you don’t have to rush to make a decision. You can take your time to think it over. However, I might not have much patience, so don’t keep me waiting too long."

When Chloe Simpson saw that Selene Wilson was staring blankly without saying a word, she spoke again.

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Chloe’s answer, she got up and left directly.

And after Selene Wilson left, Chloe was still standing there in a daze for a very, very long time.

All at once, her mind was filled with thoughts starting from the wedding night when Lucas Hughes sent her to Alexander Johnson’s bed.

And everything that has happened since.

The terror of Alexander Johnson.

The ugly face of Lucas Hughes.

And the kind of helplessness where no matter what she couldn’t resist.

The feeling in her heart was as if a hand was tightly gripping her heart, it wouldn’t let her catch her breath right away.

But it would make her suffer bit by bit, suffocate her little by little.

As if she had been pronounced death at a set time, just waiting to die.

That process was the most agonizing and terrifying.

Chloe didn’t know how long she stood there in a daze until a nurse came in to change her bandages, bringing her back to reality.

After the nurse finished changing the bandages, she waited for the nurse to leave, then took out her phone and called Harry King.

"Harry, how’s the investigation into my mom’s case going? Are there any leads now?"

It had been some time since her last call with Harry, and she had been working in the emergency room for a while.

She hoped Harry could have some leads.

Actually, in the past few days working in the emergency room, besides working, she had been secretly investigating her mom’s case.

But after all this time, she hadn’t found a single clue.

"Chloe, I have done my best to investigate. I have found some leads, even identified a person who was in frequent contact with the boy who hit your mom during that time."

"After your mom’s accident, this person disappeared. It’s really suspicious, so I had someone follow up, but this person seems to have vanished into thin air, no matter how we look, we can’t find him."

"Chloe, did you or your mom ever offend anyone? If so, maybe having a direction might make it easier to investigate."

Harry hadn’t turned up anything substantial, so he hadn’t called Chloe.

But since Chloe had called, Harry had no choice but to speak honestly.

He hadn’t intended to say anything.

So many days had passed, it was not good to drag it on.

"The only person I might have offended is Alexander Johnson."

Chloe thought hard and could only think of one person.

"Alexander Johnson? As the young master of the Johnson Family, he has no reason to do such a thing, it doesn’t benefit him at all. Also, I know more or less about the situation between you two."

"At that time, since you and your mom were already planning to leave the city, there was even less reason for Alexander to take action. I’m certain it’s not him!"

"Besides, with his capabilities, if he really wanted to make things difficult for you, there are a thousand, ten thousand ways, he wouldn’t have to resort to such a foolish method. And lately, he’s been in such a mess, he wouldn’t do something like this just to relieve public pressure."

"What about your mom? If you haven’t offended anyone, could it be something on her side? Or has your father ever offended anyone in the past?"

After giving Chloe his analysis, Harry asked again.

"My mom is very kind, she gets along well with the neighbors, has never had a quarrel with anyone, I don’t think so."

"As for my dad, that’s even less likely. Not afraid to tell you but actually, I’m not my mom’s biological child. Emily Sterling is my adoptive mother. She has worked hard all her life."

"She never married in order to provide me with a good environment to grow up in, so I don’t have a father. Before, she only said my dad was dead so I wouldn’t overthink."

Chloe paused, then told Harry everything.

Things had reached this point, there was nothing to hide anymore.

And there was nothing to be ashamed of.

"...I’m sorry, I never imagined it would be like this," Harry froze.

At that moment, he could hardly imagine.

Thinking of the environment he was in, thinking of the selfless and fearless contributions Emily Sterling had made to Chloe.

Before, he never believed there could be such a great person.

But now, with a living example in front of him, he truly believed it.

"It’s okay, it’s all in the past now, I no longer waste energy on these things. And I’m very lucky, aren’t I? To have encountered such a good mother."

"Ever since I was a child, mom especially, especially loved me, she gave me the best, kindest, gentlest love in the world. It’s because of this that I am who I am today."

Talking about Emily Sterling made Chloe feel very happy.

"Yes, Auntie is indeed a very, very great mother, I even envy you for having such a good mother."

Harry could hardly believe his ears, he had never seen Chloe so gentle.

"So I must find out who is responsible for mom’s harm, I will never let that culprit get away with it!" Chloe clenched her fists tightly.

"Okay, Chloe, don’t worry, I will definitely help you find out. If a person commits something, traces will be left, it’s only a matter of time to trace and find it, just a matter of time."

Harry spoke confidently.

After hearing his words, a sudden shock hit Chloe’s heart.

Suddenly, she thought of the visit she received from Selene Wilson today.

Yes, if you don’t want others to know, unless you do nothing.

If something is done, there will definitely be traces left behind.

Could it be...

"Chloe, are you still there?"

Harry asked again, hearing only silence from the other end of the line.

"I’m here, sorry, the emergency is too busy right now, someone just called for me." Chloe regained her senses.

"Alright, no problem, you go ahead and work, if I find anything, I’ll message you." Harry didn’t suspect anything.

After hanging up, Chloe tried hard to recall everything that had happened today.

Every detail, every word, even Selene Wilson’s every glance, she tasted them carefully.

Thinking back to her impression of Selene Wilson before,

Chloe found some things were indeed suspicious after recalling repeatedly.

But she didn’t say anything to Harry.

Because Selene Wilson and Alexander Johnson were beyond what Harry could handle.

If this really had something to do with them, she could only rely on herself.

Despite being nothing more than an ant to them, easily crushed with a step, incapable of moving them.

But she definitely wouldn’t let her mom die unjustly.

Selene Wilson had given her time to consider today.

In the following days, besides work, Chloe seriously considered this matter.

She even set up a small blackboard at home, drawing a complex relationship diagram.

Including herself, Lucas Hughes, Alexander Johnson, Selene Wilson, and her mom.

Even Lucas’s parents and a few disreputable friends, and Harry, she listed them all.

She analyzed them repeatedly.

Along with the information Harry had found.

She finally narrowed it down to three possibilities.

First, this matter indeed had something to do with Alexander Johnson and Selene Wilson.

It’s just that it wasn’t done by them, but by their family behind the scenes.

After all, she had been entangled with Alexander before.

Second, it was done by either one of them.

It’s more likely to be Selene Wilson.

Selene Wilson, who was set to marry Alexander Johnson, and she was the woman tangled with Alexander.

Of course, Selene would see her as an obstacle, a hindrance to be removed.

Only it was her mom who accidentally died, not her.

Third, these things had nothing to do with any of them.

Just an accident.

She didn’t suspect Lucas Hughes because she had been with Lucas for so many years.

She naturally understood this man.

Lucas simply didn’t have the capability, nor would he dare do such a thing.

After sorting everything out, Chloe thought it over and still decided to call Selene Wilson.

"I’ve made up my mind, I agree with you."
