Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 2217

Why did someone as good as Kerwin have to suffer all this?

Athena felt like she was going insane. All she wanted was to avenge him, to drag everyone who'd wronged him straight to hell. But she couldn't rush-she needed a plan.

She took a deep breath and tried to steady her shaking hands.

After leaving the chapel, Tyler called, asking where she was. Athena's lips trembled as she answered. She wanted to ask Tyler if their arrangement still stood, if he'd really tell her the truth about Kerwin's death. But she couldn't let Tyler know she was already aware of what the Keller family had done.

She had to tread carefully.

Tyler's voice was unusually gentle, probably in a good mood after last night. There was even a hint of a smile as he asked, "Where'd you run off to this time?"

"I'll be back soon. I want to stop by my old high school. I had a close friend there who's been struggling with depression. I just want to check in on her."

"I'll drive you."

"No, Tyler. I'd rather go alone. This is something I need to do myself. Just focus on finding out the truth about Kerwin's death."

Tyler fell silent.
