Chapter 62 – Wife Search
Vincent had been searching for Mrs. Smith for two weeks, but the trail had hit a dead-end outside their wedding house.
Finally, they switched to priority-2, looking at the finances.
They looked into the debit card Jonathan had left for her, the household expenses of their wedding home, the state of all the properties that were given to her as bride price.
Jonathan’s remorse crossed all bounds on seeing the results.
The woman he had accused of being a gold-digger was paying all the expenses including the staff salaries on their wedding house, the debit card had money coming in on the 1st of every month for the last seven years, there was no debit transaction, the properties that had been given to her were flourishing and had expanded, but she had clearly never taken a penny from it for herself, reinvesting it instead.
He did not know what to think anymore.
He had someone check the finances of the Aprice Group. Her name was nowhere to be seen. Clearly, she was not taking anything from the Aprice Group.
Even more so, the case gift of 100 million that the Aprices had asked for was spent by Rose and Lydia Aprice.
Jonathan was stunned by their shamelessness.
He investigated their accounts further and dug deeper.
It turned out Lydia had drugged them and had plotted to get his wife raped. Not only that, she was the one who had paid for the rumors.
And then paid for their silence when he had sued them.
He felt like a fool.
He made his way to the wedding house and stood outside for an hour before finally gathering the courage to go inside.
The butler and the maids were shocked on seeing him.
The butler led him inside but he dismissed everyone.
He called the butler and asked him if Mrs. Smith had been there.
The butler told him that she had left the same day after he had, and came back only once around a month after their wedding. She went to the bedroom and left. She hardly stayed for 5 minutes.
Jonathan was surprised to hear that she had been back.
He went up to what was supposed to be the wedding room. He looked around carefully and found that there were broken hidden cameras and the lock on the window was broken.
He could tell his wife was not a simple person.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
He went to the study where they had consummated their marriage and again, the lock on the window was broken.
He deduced that she had escaped from the window of their wedding room and entered the study from the window as well.
How did she manage it while wearing the wedding gown?
He looked around but did not find much of anything.
Lastly, he went to the room where he had slept last, where he had left his bleeding wife without a backward glance.
