Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 370 370: I will never forgive you for that

Ella and Eveline were supposed to return home that day, but an unexpected flight cancellation forced them to stay back at the hotel.

The day had been exhausting, and no matter how diligently they tried to gather information, nothing significant had come to light.

"I wish we could have found out more about the woman," Eveline muttered, lying on the bed next to Ella, who seemed lost in thought.

"I agree," Ella sighed, frustration evident in her voice. "No matter how deep we dig, there's nothing—like she never existed."

Eveline turned her head to face Ella, eyes filled with suspicion. "Are you sure Jedrick isn't fooling you with that contract?"

Ella hesitated, drawing in a deep breath. "I doubted him at first. But then… he's been so thoughtful all of a sudden. It made me question his intentions. I don't know if I'm right, but I swear, I saw love in his eyes."

"Maybe he just needs an heir—someone to carry on his legacy," Eveline suggested, but then a new thought struck her. She turned sharply toward Ella, her expression growing more intense.

"Or maybe… he's using you to secure the wealth he's accumulated over the years."

Ella let out a dry chuckle, her voice laced with skepticism. "Maybe. But the real question is—why the sudden generosity? All this time, he was nothing but a bastard to us. Why change now?"

Her words hung in the air, the weight of them pressing down on both of them.

Now that she truly considered Eveline's remark, she realized she couldn't afford to be swayed by Jedrick's newfound pretense.

At the end of the day, he was still the same man who had forced himself on her mother, left her to fend for herself, and only resurfaced when he learned she had a daughter.

Whatever his game was, she wasn't about to let herself fall for it.

Suddenly, Eveline's phone rang, and she was surprised to see both Stefan and Gabriel calling her.

"What's with them?" she muttered, glancing at Ella in confusion.
