The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! by H. Dally

Chapter 164

Luisa felt her stomach churn, covering her mouth as though she was going to puke. "How much more despicable can that woman be? She's a woman herself. How could she get involved in something so horrific against other women?"

Thalassa's expression remained impassive. After all the things she knew Linda was capable of, this was just another one to add to the list.

"Do you have any evidence to back up these claims?" she asked.

Mr. Frey offered a regretful smile. "Yes, there is. Unfortunately, I don't have it with me. But I have reliable information that all the evidence is hidden by Linda Miller herself. I believe she keeps it in a place no one would suspect. And I bet that place is none other than her own home."

Luisa frowned in disbelief and confusion. "Why would she keep incriminating evidence against herself instead of destroying it?"

"To protect herself," Mr. Frey explained. "When she met James Miller, she realized she could have the wealth she craved without resorting to illegal dealings anymore. She wanted out. In case you didn't know, the only way to leave the underworld is by death. But Linda is a smart woman."

The PI smiled slightly, almost in admiration. "Over the years, she gathered a lot of dirt on the people connected to the underworld. Even though the evidence incriminates her too, if ever revealed to the public, a lot of powerful men will be going down as well. That's what she used to blackmail her way out of the underworld. She continues keeping those evidence because in case she gets into serious legal trouble, she can use it to blackmail her way out. If we can get our hands on even half of the evidence, that will be the end of Linda Miller as well as other powerful people. The question is, how?"

"I'll handle it," Thalassa declared suddenly, her voice calm but resolute. "Thank you for the valuable information, Mr. Frey. I'll pay you double for this one."

Mr. Frey grinned. "Thank you, Miss Thompson. I'll make sure to bring you any further updates."

After Mr. Frey had left, Luisa moved to stand in front of Thalassa's desk, her brows furrowed in confusion. "What did you mean you'll take care of it, Lassa? Do you know where Linda's keeping the evidence?" Her eyes narrowed, "What exactly are you planning?" A sly smile played on Thalassa's lips, but before she could answer, her phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, she immediately picked it up.

"Betty, is everything alright? How's Al-"

Luisa watched in concern as Thalassa shot to her feet, her expression shifting from curiosity to alarm, and then to full-blown panic.

"Thank you for calling me, Betty. I'll be there in a few hours."

Thalassa frantically grabbed her purse, prompting Luisa to ask worriedly, "What's going on,
