Semua Bab Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride: Bab 441 - Bab 450

"Isn't saying 'never' a bit absolute?" Wendy tapped her fingers on the counter, then looked up at the gym's security cameras. "How long do you keep your surveillance footage?""We usually keep it for..." the receptionist began, but after catching a glance from someone nearby, she hesitated. "I'm not sure.""You might want to brush up on your job knowledge," Wendy said.With her keen perception, Wendy had already noticed something off about the receptionist's expression. She discreetly followed the direction of the glance.I recognized the man in the distance as Richard Corden, the morally bankrupt ex-ex-ex-ex-boyfriend. He approached Wendy with a smile, "Ms. Smith, what brings such a busy person like you here?""I'm nowhere near as busy as you!" Wendy replied with a fake smile. "You've got to work, privately contact clients, maintain relationships, and tirelessly spread rumors. With that workload, you deserve at least three or four assistants. You're being shortchanged."Wendy's

At the gym, Wendy was sweating profusely on the treadmill.She wore a sports bra and yoga pants, perfectly showcasing her great figure. Her long legs and slim waist were eye-catching.She exercised regularly and had good stamina. Compared to her, I was far behind!After just a few minutes of running, my legs felt like lead, and I could barely move. I touched the excess fat around my waist, pushing away thoughts of giving up, and tried to adjust my breathing to keep going a bit longer. It didn't help much.In no time, my throat became uncomfortable from heavy breathing.I wiped away some sweat and slowed down.Seeing this, Wendy looked at me and asked, "Sweetie, how long has it been since you last exercised?""I can't remember," I replied.I'm a laid-back person. While I don't sleep in till noon, I also can't bring myself to wake up early to exercise.The last time I exercised was probably during morning runs in high school, but I was too embarrassed to say that.I wanted to s

"Richard's good performance made his colleagues jealous. A coworker found this video on Richard's computer and asked about its source. Richard was vague. At that time, your photo was on the desk, and he turned it face down. The colleague thought he was trying to hide something. When spreading the video, they told others you were the main character."Wendy had some connections in Johnsonville, so the police didn't hide anything. "Richard tried prevent his colleague from associating it with you. He didn't expect it would backfire and damage your reputation.""So, I should thank him then!" Wendy's beautiful eyes flashed coldly, like a hunter spotting interesting prey. Her expression lightened considerably.Learning that Richard had left the police station after giving his statement, she hung up the phone."My ex-boyfriend turned out to be quite a character."Due to her family background, Wendy preferred simple, straightforward people without ulterior motives.The guys she dated, in

"Please send me a copy of the surveillance footage, Detective North."Steven was efficient. After hanging up, he sent the video to Wendy's phone.Wendy opened the video, and I leaned in to watch with her.Nancy and Richard didn't arrive at the hotel together. Each time, she would book a room and pay, then Richard would show up with a woman wearing a hat and mask, or wrapped in a scarf."He's booking rooms so frequently. Nancy's salary can't possibly cover all these hotel bills! What kind of leverage does Richard have that makes Nancy willingly do this for him?"Wendy's voice was full of contempt."Steven found out that besides working at the gym, Nancy has two part-time jobs."Nancy was a hard worker. She'd wake up at 4 AM to do work at a butcher shop, then wash dishes at a breakfast restaurant in the morning.She lived frugally, with little desire for luxuries.It was despicable that Richard would take advantage of someone struggling so hard to make ends meet.Wendy had a so

Good thing we had enough information to work with.Steven, being a long-time detective, had many ways to get the information he wanted.We had just left the café when Wendy shared our leads with Steven. He quickly marked two names and sent them to her phone."Steven truly deserves his reputation as Johnsonville's most expensive private detective. In such a short time, he got all of Richard's client information and investigated their backgrounds," Wendy praised Steven. "Once we have solid evidence, let's see how that scumbag tries to weasel out of this!"Wendy sent the hotel surveillance video to both Mrs. Marshalls' phones.The Mrs. Marshalls responded quickly.One replied with "???"The other's response was more agitated - "Where did you get this surveillance footage?"She quickly realized her mistake, deleted the message, and went silent.Wendy looked thoughtful. "Jen, who do you think is in the video?""The second Mrs. Marshall seems more suspicious. Or maybe the first one
