He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 650

It was the instinctive panic of a guilty conscience.

But as an actress, she knew exactly how to mask her terror.

"Janetta," he murmured suddenly, his tone dangerous.

She looked up at him nervously, biting her bottom lip hard.

"How exactly do you know the precise details of her accident? I remember that incident being completely classified. Not a single media outlet in Riverton dared to report on it," he asked, enunciating every syllable with chilling precision.

The fact that his late wife died in a crash while being transferred to prison was public knowledge, so it wasn't strange that she knew that much.

But he had personally ensured that every single detail of the wreck remained heavily guarded.

In other words, unless someone was directly involved in the aftermath, there was absolutely no way they could know what happened.

She hadn't been anywhere near the crash site.

So how did she know the specifics?

He stared at her, his deadly silence demanding an answer.

Under his piercing gaze, her scalp prickled, and her palms grew slick with cold sweat.

Yet, she somehow managed to feign absolute composure.

"Because the press is everywhere. I have plenty of friends in the media. Even if they couldn't publish the story, they still talked about it behind closed doors," she answered smoothly.

It wasn't entirely a lie.

And she delivered the excuse flawlessly.

He didn't press further, letting the silence stretch out agonizingly.

But he knew better. Even the paparazzi who witnessed the aftermath didn't know the full truth.

Details like the driver being intoxicated and dying at the scene were buried deep in the confidential reports.

How could she possibly know that?

"I see," he finally replied, his voice devoid of emotion.

She couldn't tell if she had dodged a bullet or if he was simply biding his time.

She maintained her innocent facade, staring up at him pleadingly.

Tightening her grip on his hand, she dropped her voice to a pathetic whisper.
