His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 296

At first, Marina had told herself she wasn’t going to be the one to give in.

But now she realized she didn’t have a choice.

Jonathan hadn’t reached out to her once in days.

To make things worse, her parents had just broken the news: the Northriver property, which had been all but signed over for development by the Thomas Group and her family, had suddenly been handed to Michael—no strings attached.

For Marina, it felt like the sky had just collapsed.

She couldn’t make sense of it. Jonathan and Michael were rivals. The Northriver deal had been as good as done. How had everything unraveled so quickly?

The only explanation she could think of was that Jonathan had somehow learned it was her who drugged his drink that night.

It was the thing Marina had feared most from the very beginning.

“Jonathan, why have you been so cold to me these days?”

She lowered her gaze, her voice trembling on the edge of tears.

Jonathan took a slow sip of coffee, sitting in silence for what felt like forever before he finally answered.

“There was something in our drinks that night. Did you put it there?”

“What? Of course not!”

Marina’s eyes widened in shock.

“So it was Zachary, then?”

“I… I have no idea…”

She blinked up at him, feigning utter innocence.

“So you’re upset because you think I drugged you? But you know me, Jonathan. I’d never do something like that!”

She spoke with earnest conviction, reaching out to hold his hand.

His fingers were icy cold.

“You once told me I was the person you cherished most, and you promised that after your divorce from Niamh, you’d give me a real place in your life… But honestly, none of that matters to me. All I want is your love…”

Her voice wavered uncontrollably.

Jonathan looked at her, studying her face.

Her tear-filled eyes were as clear as spring water.
