Divorced CEO's Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Riley and Bryce) novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260 One Hundred Million Dollars

Riley would agree to it even if they offered more money.

But whoever was behind this, she was damn well going to find

out!

Wren shut her laptop and started counting down the three days until she’d get her hands on the cash.

If it wasn’t for the upcoming audit and Vincent’s idiotic decision to embezzle company funds, leaving her scrambling to cover ass, she wouldn’t need to hustle Riley for money this desperately.

his

Either way, this money was something Riley owed her!

If not for Riley’s interference, Sebastian would still be her sugar daddy.

Even with Vincent’s embezzlement, one word from her and the Anderson family would’ve swept the whole mess under the rug.

But things were different now.

Sebastian had cut all ties with her, and those fair–weather friends from the Anderson family who used to kiss her ass were now lining up to kick her while she was down.

Five years ago, if she hadn’t been with Sebastian when they ran into Samuel, if her jewelry hadn’t been stolen, and she hadn’t filed that police report, the German police never would’ve pulled the surrounding surveillance footage.

She probably wouldn’t have this recording in her hands right

now.

Even getting this surveillance video from the German authorities had been a real pain.

If Riley was smart enough, she’d eventually trace this footage back and discover that Sebastian had met Samuel before.

When Sebastian and Riley inevitably went at each other’s throats over this revelation, it would be pure entertainment for her!

Wren was basking in her own satisfaction, utterly unaware that at this very moment, Riley was using that anonymous email to track down her location.

Most people would have a hard time tracing an email, but Riley was different.

Especially since she had borrowed a computer from one of the Torres family’s tech companies when restoring that drone footage of the fire.

She could use the same tracking system now.

Sebastian had given her direct access to the Torres family’s

telligence tracking privileges.

She could use any Torres family resources within her clearance

level.

That evening, Sebastian said, “What are you looking into? Need any help?”

“Not right now,” Riley replied, knowing that if she used the Torres family’s intelligence system, Sebastian would be aware of it. “I’ll let you know if I need anything.”

“Is this about what you got on your phone today?” Sebastian

asked.

“Yeah, but I can’t talk about it yet.” Riley said.

The sender had specifically warned her not to tell anyone, and had even mentioned Sebastian by name, so she couldn’t say anything to him yet.

Since this involved Samuel, she didn’t dare take any risks.

Maybe once she had more solid leads, she could tell Sebastian.

“But I need to borrow some money from you, and if necessary, I want full access to your security team,” Riley said.

Sebastian smiled softly, “Riley, I’ve told you before–anything I have is yours, whether it’s money or people.”

Her heart suddenly raced, and Riley stared at the man before her, realizing this must be what falling in love feels like.

Little by little, she was falling more in love with him.

“Thank you,” Riley said.

He suddenly leaned in close, his nose almost touching hers, his lips moving as he spoke, “If you really want to thank me, then take me a few more times tonight.”

Riley’s face flushed bright red.

charm that made him completely irresistible.

“Want to?” he asked.

His handsome face drew closer, those phoenix eyes rippling like water, his warm breath brushing against her cheek.

Riley had never thought of herself as someone who’d fall for a pretty face, but when it came to Sebastian, she couldn’t be so

sure anymore.

“Riley…” Sebastian called her name with pure longing.

“Yes.” She followed her heart, saying the word decisively as she cupped his face and kissed his lips, making him respond more intensely.

Their two bodies tangled together, lost in a haze of heat and need…

Sebastian gave it to her without question, but an unsettling anxiety gnawed at him.

Since they’d been together, Riley had never hidden anything from him.

But this time, she told him she couldn’t say why she needed it.

What was in that message she got on her phone that day?

Sebastian stared at Riley sleeping beside him, his gaze drifting to her phone on the nightstand.

Slowly, he reached across her sleeping form toward the device.

If he checked her phone right now, maybe he’d finally know what that message in the car was the one that made her face go white, and why she needed a hundred million dollars plus bodyguards.

If he knew all that, would this unease finally disappear?

But just as his fingers were about to touch her phone, he froze.

If he actually went through her phone like this, wouldn’t that just add another secret he was keeping from her?
