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

Chapter 385: Chapter 378: Rot Away Completely!

"I knew you wouldn’t let me down."

When Selene Wilson said this over the phone, Chloe Simpson became even more suspicious.

"Miss Wilson, don’t forget you promised to help me investigate my mom’s situation." Chloe emphasized once again.

"Don’t worry, I will definitely help you get to the bottom of it." Selene responded firmly.

"There’s got to be a timeline, right? If you take a year or two to figure this out, should I keep maneuvering between Lucas Hughes and Alexander Johnson for one or two years?" Chloe retorted.

"Haha, how could that be? Even with the Wilson Family’s influence, it won’t take that long. Rest assured, at most one month. If I don’t find anything by then, you can automatically withdraw."

"If you don’t trust me, you can record what I say now, and I won’t let you do all this for nothing. I’ll give you a blank check; you can write any amount you want."

Selene laughed, gave a specific timeframe, and even added a blank check.

"No need, this is a fair trade between us. I’ll help you, and you help me investigate my mom’s situation. Forget about the money."

Chloe flatly refused.

"OK."

Selene didn’t say anything more, just hung up the phone.

"Miss, won’t this be too risky?"

As soon as she hung up, Seventh Uncle voiced his concern from behind her.

"Seventh Uncle, I know this is a bit risky, but I really can’t wait any longer. You know I can’t sleep without medication lately, right?"

"Every night, as soon as I close my eyes, all I see is Caleb Sterling’s face. If I don’t take action, I think I’ll go crazy."

"Seventh Uncle, you raised me and know me best. Even my parents don’t understand me as well as you do. You know how I never got any warmth in the Wilson Family since childhood."

"They have always favored boys over girls. In their eyes, there’s only my older brother, the son who can inherit the family business, never their daughter. I was just left to arrange a marriage, to pave the way for their son."

"I haven’t received much warmth in this life, one from you, and the other from Caleb Sterling. Before, when I was supposed to marry into the Johnson Family, I even thought, ’That’s how my life will be.’

"I didn’t resist, didn’t struggle, yet ultimately couldn’t escape their grasp. What else could I do? Until I met Caleb."

"I realized I could live differently. I could laugh happily, experience the simple joy an ordinary girl has."

"You know, I don’t want anything else, just to live peacefully with him for this lifetime. But, in the end..."

"My only dream since childhood shattered just like that. That was a life, a living person, the life of the one I loved the most! I absolutely will not allow them to die in vain; I will make everyone pay!"

"Ah, a prestigious family! What a joke of a top-tier family! It’s all just a shiny facade, inwardly rotten to the core. Just like a heap of rotten bracken leaves, consuming each other."

"Everyone here can’t escape, only left with a destiny of being consumed. If that’s the case, then let’s all rot together! Rot thoroughly! Hahaha!"

At the end, Selene laughed continuously like a crazed lunatic.

After laughing, she turned to Seventh Uncle: "Seventh Uncle, you really don’t need to accompany me. It would be wonderful for you to enjoy a peaceful retirement."

"The path I’m about to walk is destined to be thorny, full of challenges. Even a moment’s carelessness might lead to death; Caleb is already gone. You’re the last person I care about in this world."

"I really hope nothing happens to you. Rest assured, Seventh Uncle, I will take good care of myself. You can retire peacefully."

"Selene, you don’t need to say anything more. I watched you grow up; don’t I know you? If that were truly the case, you wouldn’t ask me to leave."
