Chapter 738
For the next several days, Antonio barely slept.The revelation about his former executive assistant had unsettled him more than he wanted to admit.He had believed that chapter of his life was finished.The false accusations, the blackmail, Jude's betrayal, and the public scandal had all seemed like painful memories that he could finally leave behind.But now it appeared that the same people connected to that nightmare had found another way to enter his life.And this time, Cynthia and their son had nearly paid the price.Antonio increased security around the mansion without telling Cynthia everything he was doing.He instructed his security team to be more vigilant.No unfamiliar person was allowed into the compound.Every visitor had to be verified.He also asked his lawyer to work closely with the investigators.He wanted everything uncovered.Not rumors.Not assumptions.The truth.One afternoon, Antonio received a call from the police.“Mr. Morris, we believe we have located you
Chapter 737
Antonio remained motionless after the phone call.Cynthia watched him carefully.“Who is it?”Antonio did not answer immediately.He seemed to be trying to convince himself that what he had just heard could not possibly be true.“Antonio?”He finally looked at her.“The police found evidence that someone else helped Elaine.”“Who?”Antonio swallowed.“Daniel.”Cynthia's eyes widened.“Daniel?”“Yes.”She remembered him immediately.Daniel was the man who had once accompanied Elaine to Antonio's mansion, begging him to take her back.“He helped Elaine?”“That is what the police believe.”Cynthia stared at Antonio.“But why?”“I don't know.”Antonio picked up his phone again.His lawyer was still on the line.“Tell me exactly what they found.”“We don't have the complete picture yet,” the lawyer replied. “But investigators discovered communications between Daniel and Elaine. They have also found financial transfers.”“Transfers?”“Yes.”“How much?”“Several payments. Not all of them are

The drive back to the mansion was unusually quiet.Cynthia sat beside Antonio, staring through the window.Neither of them had said much since leaving Marielle's house.Antonio occasionally glanced at her.He could tell she was thinking about everything that had happened.Eventually, Cynthia broke the silence.“Antonio.”“Yes?”“What are you going to do about Elaine?”Antonio kept his eyes on the road.“I already know what I should do.”“That isn't what I asked.”He looked at her briefly.“You want to know what I will do.”“Yes.”Antonio sighed.“I'm going to end the marriage.”Cynthia looked at him.“You're sure?”“I have never been more certain about anything.”She lowered her eyes.“You married her because of Uncle Cedric.”“Yes.”“And he was the reason you kept trying to tolerate her.”“Yes.”“But now?”Antonio shook his head.“No more.”Cynthia remained silent.Antonio continued.“I agreed to that marriage because Cedric reminded me of my mother. I didn't want to disappoint him.
Chapter 735
The following morning, Antonio woke before Cynthia.For several minutes, he simply lay beside her, watching her sleep.The events of the previous day had changed everything.Before, he had worried about Cynthia's jealousy, Elaine's bitterness, and the tension created by his decision to marry Elaine as a second wife.Now, none of those things seemed important.Someone had deliberately tried to take Cynthia's life.And their newborn son had nearly become a victim of the same plan.Antonio quietly got out of bed.He walked into the nursery and found the baby sleeping peacefully.He stood beside the crib for a long time.The sight of his son filled him with an overwhelming sense of responsibility.He had fought enemies before.He had survived blackmail.He had been publicly accused of things he had never done.But this was different.This time, the person he loved most had been placed directly in danger.His phone rang.Antonio stepped out of the nursery before answering.“Hello?”It was
Chapter 734
Elaine sat in the small interview room, staring at the table in front of her.For the first time since she had begun plotting against Cynthia, she felt completely powerless.The confidence she had carried into the police station had disappeared the moment the investigator placed the printed messages on the table.“You sent these messages to Marielle,” the investigator said.Elaine stared at them.“I don't know what you're talking about.”The investigator calmly turned another page.“You contacted her several times. You promised her money. You asked her to make sure Cynthia ate the food.”Elaine's lips parted, but no words came.Then she shook her head.“She is lying.”“Why would she lie?”“I don't know. Maybe she hates me. Maybe she wants to destroy me.”The investigator leaned back.“Her son is dead.”Elaine looked away.“That doesn't have anything to do with me.”The investigator studied her face carefully.“Then why did you call her after her son died?”Elaine froze.She had forgot

Elias stood by the wide glass window of his study, his hands clasped firmly behind his back as he stared out at the sprawling estate below. The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the manicured lawns, but there was no warmth in his eyes. His expression was hard, set, as though he had already made a decision that could not be undone.Behind him, Cynthia stood near the door, her fingers nervously gripping the strap of her handbag. She had been summoned, not invited—that much was clear. And whenever her father used that tone, it never meant anything good.“Come closer,” Elias said without turning.Cynthia hesitated for a moment, then walked forward. Each step felt heavier than the last. She already knew what this was about. It had been the only thing they had argued about for days now—Antonio.When she finally stopped a few feet behind him, Elias turned slowly. His eyes locked onto hers, sharp and unyielding.“I will not repeat myself too many times,” he began, his voice low but firm.
