Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 356

I knew that she’d set Emma up, but hearing her confirm it was still a shock. How can she be so cruel? Emma was supposedly her friend, yet she didn’t hesitate to throw her under the bus just to save her skin. What kind of human does that, except maybe a psycho?

“What did you mean by ‘We’, Christine?” I ask worriedly.

I thought it was a one-woman job, but it looks like I was wrong. She clearly had help, because how was she able to pull this off all by herself?

She starts pacing as if she were agitated. To be honest, I don’t even think that she was thinking clearly. She looked to be unraveling at the seams. What I’m not sure is if it’s something that has been happening for a long time or if something recent has pushed her to the edge.

“My uncle and I,” she answers distractedly. “He’s in what you’d call the mafia. He’s been my guardian since my parents died, and we kept my link hidden so that I could have a normal life. But after I told him what you did and all that you’ve taken from me, he was ready to help me end you.”

I sigh because now I get the full picture. If I didn’t know better, her story would be believable. I’m sure the uncle thought that everything she said was true, and the fact that she believes her own story makes it even more convincing.

I’ve heard about cases like hers. Some people with mental health issues make up these worlds in their heads and end up believing in them like it was the holy truth. Christine believed that Rowan loved her, despite it not being the truth.

“What about Emma?” I pushed; I wanted to get the full story.

“What about her?”

“She was your friend; why would you betray her like that?”
