Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire novel Chapter 136

"Find out which cemetery Raelyn Becket is buried in," Adrian instructed Clint. "Leave some of our men to keep monitoring Fredrick and Tonet, but put more focus on Ramona. Find out why Renee is acting strange. Ask the guys -"

"I already asked, Sir. Renee did not get any visitors at the hospital," Clint revealed. "But I'll look at the hospital surveillance and see when she started acting strangely."

"Someone is making her think that I am using Riley and pushing her in danger, but I would never do that to Riley," Adrian said. "And someone told her about how Riley was nearly kidnapped."

"Yes, Sir." Clint hesitated but soon clarified, "So we are going to deal with the Eros first -"

"We have to. This thing had escalated way too far. Ramona has gone too far. Hire more investigators to look into her and find out the best opportunity to speak to Charles," Adrian added.

A hiss left Clint's lips. He remarked, "Uggh. Mr. Eros is upset with you because of the engagement. He won't see you willingly."

"I know," Adrian said. "We will have to corner him if we need to. All we need is a chance for him to see my wife. That's all."

Clint nodded. He answered, "Okay. Got it. Sir."

Adrian dismissed Clint quickly. He went to the main bedroom next, where his wife was still awake and lost in her thoughts.

"Can't sleep?" Adrian asked.

Riley threw her head against the headboard. She shut her eyes and said, "Adrian, I'm having an info overload."

"It wasn't long ago that I refused to hear about my father, and knowing what I know now -" Riley paused. She gulped before breaking down completely.

"I just feel so sad!" Riley revealed. Tears immediately flooded her face, and she covered her mouth as she cried. "If I am really an Eros, I feel so sad for me, but more sad for Charles."

"It seemed like all he wanted was to be with my mother, but the world was against him, and now he is raising a child that may not be even his!" Riley described. "At least I had my Mom, but he, he had an awful family -"

"Shhh," Adrian quickly embraced his wife. He pecked Riley's forehead and said, "Yes, greed did that."

"Cameron eventually gave Charles the entire business, and I think Calvin retaliated. He wanted everything from Charles, but in the end, he went to prison, and he dragged his mother along," Adrian said.

Adrian did not know how long he comforted his wife, but after a while, Riley said, "I'll take a few days off from work. In any case, we already have new designs in production."

"I don't know for how long Mom will keep things to herself, but I hope that spending time with her will open her eyes," Riley suggested. And, of course, that planned visit to Raelyn Becket—are you sure it's Raelyn Becket, though? It's not Green. I could be Rachel Green!"

"Nice try," Adrian said.

Riley faked a laugh, but Adrian knew it was her way of coping with her sadness. She said, "Well, if I have another name out there, it might as well be the one I want."

"You don't have a thing for Brad Pitt, do you, Honey? Because I am more handsome than Brad Pitt," Adrian asked.

"Pfft! What? I just wanted to be Rachel Green! I have no thing for Brad Pitt!" Riley scoffed, and thank goodness for Adrian inserting Brad Pitt, she was no longer crying.

The couple cuddled in bed next. Adrian embraced Riley tightly and asked, "Did you check on your mom?"
