Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones (Tabitha Jarvis) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 

Naomi began to shed tears again, walked over to Sylvie, and put her arm around her shoulder. “Sylvie, it’s all my fault. I’m sorry.” 

Sylvie’s face was pale, but her expression was fierce and grim. She said, “Don’t blame yourself, Naomi. Tabitha is too vicious. I shouldn’t have coveted that insignificant amount of money of hers.” 

Seeing the two’s performance, Malcolm pursed his lips as he thought of Naomi’s schemes the last two times. 

When Chadwick heard something was happening at the clinic, he quickly called Tabitha and asked about it. 

Tabitha plainly explained the situation and assured him not to worry. 

Hearing that Tabitha was fine, Chadwick felt relieved and said, “Colette has returned to Xosa. When are you free? I’ll make an appointment for you. two to meet.” 

Tabitha felt grateful to Chadwick for treating her seriously and hurriedly replied, “I’m available at any time.” 

Colette was a person of action. After hearing about Tabitha, Colette asked to meet her in a quiet café that afternoon. 

Tabitha finally met the lawyer. 

She was tall, with short hair, and wore diamond earrings. She looked neat and charismatic with a hint of grace. 

The first impression Tabitha had of her was that she was merely a beautiful girl. 

Chadwick introduced them separately, and Colette went straight to the point, asking Tabitha to explain the matter in as much detail as possible.

After she finished listening, Colette frowned slightly and said. “This is an eight–year–old case. Those involved have turned themselves in and were sentenced.” 

She shook her head and said, “I’m afraid it will be very difficult to get Naomi convicted.” 

She described it as difficult, which meant this would be a tricky case. 

However, Tabitha refused to give up. 

She said, “As for the gangster named Cornelius, he has already confessed. to me what happened that night. They didn’t steal Naomi’s phone. They only broke my dad’s phone. He also promised me that he would confess the details in court.” 

However, Cornelius later backed out and changed his testimony, insisting he destroyed Naomi’s and Raphael’s phones, which allowed Naomi to 

escape. 

Colette pondered for a moment and said, “Unless we find another witness. to prove that Naomi’s phone was intact at the time. Otherwise, legally, there’s nothing we can do about her.” 

Tabitha’s eyes darkened. 

She had been inspecting the case for years and even looked for an investigator but found no clues. 

All the people involved disappeared without a trace. 

Seeing Tabitha’s low spirit, Colette felt sympathetic for her. 

Tabitha suddenly lost her parents, but the ruthless culprit got away with it. The people who surrendered were merely scapegoats who were hired with 

money. 

Putting herself in Tabitha’s shoes, Colette felt upset for her.

She patted Tabitha on the back of her hand and said, “Don’t be upset. I know an investigator. He’s righteous, brilliant, and absolutely reliable. I’ll introduce him to you later.” 

“Don’t worry. No one can escape the web of justice. No evil person can get away with their crimes forever,” Colette reassured. 

Tabitha pulled herself together and looked at Colette gratefully. “Thank you, Ms. Ingram.” 

“You’re welcome.” Colette winked with a smile and added, “Chadwick’s friend is my friend. I’ve heard you healed Chadwick’s eyes. You are a good person, so your kindness will be repaid.” 

Tabitha was slightly stunned and turned to look at Chadwick. 

Chadwick also nodded in agreement. “Yes. You’re so kind, and fortune favors the kind–hearted.” 

Colette smiled more brightly. “I once handled a case for the director of an orphanage, and Chadwick coordinated with me.” 

Gradually, they became familiar with each other.
