His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 295

Niamh slept more soundly than she’d expected.

When she woke, Jonathan wasn’t in bed.

She heard the faint sounds of running water from the bathroom—he was probably getting ready for the day.

She reached for her phone to check the time, but before she could, a news alert popped up on the screen:

Jonathan Heroically Defends His Wife!

Niamh froze for a moment, then tapped on the notification.

The story recounted yesterday’s incident—Bagot had attacked her, and Jonathan had arrived with the Thomas family’s security team to save the day.

The headline photo was of Jonathan carrying her out in his arms, front and center.

Every major news outlet and trending topic online was focused on this.

The related articles were all about the Thomas Group’s stock.

Niamh had never paid much attention to the market, but she clicked anyway.

Since the opening bell, the Thomas Group’s stock had soared, climbing higher and higher—all thanks to the media frenzy.

Suddenly, a chill ran through her, her fingers cold around her phone.

Just then, Jonathan’s phone started to ring.

Niamh got out of bed and glanced at the caller ID: Sprague.

Jonathan hadn’t saved his father as “Dad” or “Father.” Just “Sprague” with his full name.

She picked up Jonathan’s phone and knocked on the bathroom door.

“Your father’s calling.”

As she handed him the phone, her finger accidentally pressed the answer button.

Sprague’s triumphant voice came through the speaker right away. “You handled things perfectly this time. That’s exactly how it should be—”

Niamh didn’t catch the rest. Jonathan pressed the phone to his ear, shutting her out.

She stood in the doorway, cold dread spreading through her chest.

She’d thought Jonathan had stepped in to protect her from Bagot.

But was that really what happened?

Just yesterday, Bagot had been manipulating public opinion, dragging her name through the mud. Overnight, everything flipped—Bagot was suddenly public enemy number one.
