A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 344:

Cathy scoffed. “Sunlight? She’s in a vegetative state, not a houseplant. Is sunlight supposed to wake her up?” Her irritation escalated. “She needs to be moved to the basement today! I’m being cursed by everyone, and I’m stuck here for at least a week. Kristopher will be around often. What if he stumbles upon her by chance?”

Evelyn, head bowed in submission, murmured, “He won’t find out…”

“He won’t?” Cathy’s gaze hardened. “You’re here often enough. Haven’t you heard the gossip? What if Kristopher becomes curious?”

Still not raising her eyes, Evelyn responded, “If he discovers Joyce is still alive, it should be alright. He won’t say anything…”

“And what if he does?” Cathy pressed, her voice rising in anger. “What if he accidentally spills the beans to his grandfather, mother, or sister? Do you want them to recall your affair with Dad? Or find out we’re hiding Joyce here?”

These accusations darkened Evelyn’s expression further. She whispered, resigned, “I understand. I’ll handle it later…”

“Do it now! Take her to the basement!” Cathy demanded sharply, her glare piercing. “I’m heading to bed. She better be in the basement by the time I wake up!” With those words, she turned and marched to the second floor, entering the guest room and slamming the door behind her with a resounding thud.
