Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 48

Tabitha heard the word “Em” being uttered, but before she could figure out if the word referred to Ethan, the radio went silent again. At once, she grew anxious.

Emmanuel turned off the radio and reached toward Naomi, then made a beckoning motion.

Naomi understood this and immediately handed him the envelope.

Emmanuel opened the envelope, glanced at the so–called evidence inside it, and began to examine the folder in earnest.

Before long, he found a bug placed in the corner of the envelope.

‘Stupid girl! She nearly blew our cover!‘ Emmanuel pinched the bean- sized bug in his hand as his lips curled into a frighteningly cold smile.

Without another word, Emmanuel went to the sink and threw the bug into

the water.

On the other end, Tabitha was still listening attentively when a loud static suddenly assaulted her eardrums. She frantically took out her earpiece. ‘Crap, he discovered the bug!‘

Naomi watched Emmanuel’s every move in shock, but as anxious as she was, she dared not speak.

Emmanuel glanced at her coldly and snapped, “You idiot! You almost screwed things up for us!”

Naomi asked immediately, “What’s going on, Mr. Sinclair? What did you
