How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 204

Elodie had no idea what Esmeralda was getting at.

“What’s wrong? The payment went through, our project’s up and running—what do you think is going on?”

Esmeralda looked even more bewildered. “I went to the real estate office today. You remember my dad bought me those two condos? I was there to handle the paperwork, and guess who I ran into?”

“Who?”

“Keith. You know, Jarrod’s assistant.” Esmeralda’s expression was incredulous. “He was there to handle some property business for Jarrod. I got chatty with one of the clerks, and he told me the apartment Keith was dealing with is in Moonlight Garden…”

Elodie’s face slowly hardened.

Moonlight Garden—

Their marital home.

What was that supposed to mean?

She stared, a mix of disbelief and confusion on her face.

She immediately pulled out her phone and texted the agent who’d handled her house sale.

The reply came quickly: [Ms. Thorne, the buyer’s identity is confidential, but the person who signed the paperwork is Keith.]

What more proof did she need?

Jarrod was the one who bought the house!

She’d put their home up for sale, and Jarrod had bought it back—without a word to her.

No wonder, on the day she got confirmation the house had sold, Jarrod had asked her those strange questions…

“It was really him?” Esmeralda was just as shocked.

Elodie’s brows knotted in confusion. She couldn’t wrap her head around it.

He had already given her the house. If she wanted to sell, that was her right. Why would he buy it back?

She just couldn’t figure it out.

Still, with the money already in her account, VistaLink Technologies’ most urgent crisis was solved.

But—

As the evening rolled around and work drew to a close, Elodie got a call from Keith.

“Ms. Thorne, are you free tonight? Mr. Silverstein would like you to come by Moonlight Garden.” There was no room for negotiation in Keith’s voice.

Elodie didn’t care much about the house anymore. Her tone was cool. “If he has something to say, he can just tell me.”

“You’ll know when you get here. According to your divorce agreement, we hope you’ll cooperate.” Keith didn’t elaborate.

If he brought up the divorce agreement, that probably meant Jarrod needed to discuss something important.
