Evelyn read the anonymous message again.

Ask your husband what happened the night he found you with Daniel.

The accompanying photograph showed a handwritten page from Seraphina’s old notebook.

The first person who told me I was losing my mind was Adrian.

She had spent the morning trying to understand those words. Now, as Adrian entered the study, she decided she was done waiting for answers.

“Did you ever find Seraphina with Daniel Whitmore?”

Adrian paused.

His expression changed almost imperce

  • I Transmigrated Into The Billionaire’s Hated Wife    Chapter 25:Vivian’s version

    Evelyn didn’t sleep well.The scanned statement bearing Vivian’s name remained open on her laptop. It was difficult to ignore the possibility that the woman who had once been Seraphina’s closest confidante had helped take her company away from her.But Evelyn had learned not to trust documents simply because they appeared convincing.By ten the following morning, she had arranged to meet Vivian.The meeting was at a quiet hotel restaurant. Miriam had advised her against going alone, so she waited at a nearby table while Evelyn approached the woman seated beside the window.Vivian looked surprised when she saw her.“Seraphina?”“Evelyn,” she corrected, taking the opposite seat.Vivian’s expression tightened.“I keep forgetting you don’t like being called that anymore.”“There’s something I want to discuss.”Evelyn placed the scanned statement on the table.Vivian glanced at it.The colour drained from her face.“Where did you get this?”“That’s what I came to ask you.”Vivian pushed th

  • I Transmigrated Into The Billionaire’s Hated Wife    Chapter 24:The person behind the signature

    Daniel’s phone remained switched off.Evelyn tried twice more before Miriam gently took the device from her.“Calling repeatedly won’t bring him back. We need to find out where he was going.”“He said he had located the person who prepared the second agreement.”“Then that’s where we start.”Miriam contacted Daniel’s last known address and arranged for someone to check the area. Evelyn, meanwhile, returned to the photograph he had sent.The words written beneath the agreement troubled her.THE ORIGINAL SIGNATORY IS STILL ALIVE.It wasn’t a warning about a forged signature.It suggested someone had signed the document in Seraphina’s place—and that person might still be accessible.Her phone rang.An unfamiliar number.“Mrs. Kingsley?”The male voice sounded hurried.“Who is this?”“My name is Peter Lawson. I used to work with Daniel Whitmore.”Evelyn sat upright.“Where is Daniel?”“I don’t know. He contacted me yesterday and asked me to meet him. I couldn’t make it. This morning, some

  • I Transmigrated Into The Billionaire’s Hated Wife    Chapter 23:What the blue room holds

    Evelyn didn’t tell Adrian about the blue room.She waited until the following morning, when Miriam arrived with the documents Daniel had handed them, then arranged for a car to take them to the old Vale residence.The house had been closed for months. Most of Seraphina’s belongings had been moved into storage after her marriage, but the blue room remained untouched.It had once been her private studio.Evelyn unlocked the door.Dust covered the furniture, and sheets concealed the paintings along the walls. A large wooden desk stood beneath the window.“The phrase Daniel gave you may refer to this room,” Miriam said.Evelyn approached the desk.There was a shallow drawer on the right, but it wouldn’t open. She tried the handle again before noticing a small brass lock.The key Daniel had given her didn’t fit.Instead of forcing it, she examined the desk’s underside. A narrow compartment had been built beneath the writing surface.Inside was a folded photograph and a small envelope.The

    Evelyn saved the photograph of Daniel before forwarding it to Miriam.The newspaper beside him carried that day’s date. Whoever had taken the picture wanted her to know he was alive, but the message beneath it suggested something more deliberate.He has been waiting for you to find him.Miriam examined the image on her laptop.“The café has a visible sign. I’ll have someone verify the location, but we shouldn’t send anyone there without knowing who might be watching.”Evelyn disliked the idea of waiting. Still, she understood that rushing toward Daniel could destroy their only chance of hearing the truth.Her phone rang.Adrian.She answered.“Have you found something?”“Daniel is alive.”There was a brief silence.“Where?”“We’re verifying the location.”“I’ll arrange security.”“Don’t send anyone to the café without speaking to me first.”“Evelyn, if Daniel is alive, there may be people looking for him.”“Then we shouldn’t make his location easier to discover.”She ended the call be

  • I Transmigrated Into The Billionaire’s Hated Wife    Chapter 21:The room Daniel left behind

    By the time Evelyn reached Miriam’s office, the photograph had already been printed.Miriam placed it beside the old property records spread across her desk. She had spent the last hour tracing the ownership history of Vale Atelier’s former headquarters.“The building was sold after the company’s liquidation,” she explained. “The new owners intended to renovate it, but the project was suspended. Most of the original offices were cleared.”Evelyn placed the brass key beside the photograph.“Adrian said he tried to access the storage area after Daniel disappeared.”Miriam examined the key.“Then we shouldn’t assume the room is untouched. Someone may have been there before us.”She picked up her phone and contacted the property manager. After a brief conversation, she secured permission for a supervised inspection that afternoon.Evelyn watched her make the arrangements.The message had suggested Daniel returned to the building after his disappearance was reported. If that was true, the

Now, as Adrian entered the study, she decided she was done waiting for answers.“Did you ever find Seraphina with Daniel Whitmore?”Adrian paused.His expression changed almost imperceptibly, but Evelyn noticed.“Yes.”“When?”“Several months before he disappeared.”“Tell me what happened.”He loosened his tie and placed his phone on the desk.“They were arguing in the parking garage beneath my office. Daniel had a folder, and Seraphina was trying to take it from him. When I approached, they stopped talking.”“What was in the folder?”“I never found out.”“You didn’t ask?”“I did. Daniel refused to explain. He said Seraphina had a right to know what had been done in her name.
