Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 229

"Mr. Shelby, Blythe Lovell was the one who reached out to Mr. Creed. She harbored a grudge after Ms. Yeats left Solstice Auctions."

Jabez stood in front of the window at the end of the corridor. With one hand tucked into his pocket, his dark eyes were fixed on the slender figure of a woman standing near the hospital entrance down below.

His voice was ice-cold. "Are you absolutely certain it was Blythe?"

"The day before Blythe approached Mr. Creed, hundreds of thousands were wired into her account."

A drop of cold sweat slid down Corbin's forehead. "I tracked the transfer. It came from an overseas account that has already been terminated. Tracing it any further is going to be incredibly difficult."

"I don't care. Get me results."

The sheer, freezing authority radiating through the phone made Corbin stiffen. "Understood. I'll get back on it immediately."

"And audit Willow's bank statements."

Corbin blinked in sheer shock. It took him two full seconds to find his voice. "Yes, sir."

Jabez hung up. From his perfect vantage point, he watched Yvette slide into Matthew's car.

His fingers curled into a tight fist inside his pocket.

"What are you looking at, Jabez?" Willow's soft voice drifted over. Just as she was about to follow his gaze...

He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her away. "Nothing."

The intimate gesture instantly sent a rush of sweetness through Willow's heart.

"Jabez, I was thinking about applying for a job at the Belvedere Institute. You really don't have to go through the trouble of opening a whole new company just for me."

"Whatever you prefer."

"Thank you, Jabez," Willow smiled sweetly.

The moment Yvette settled into the passenger seat, she received a call from her lawyer, Orson Norwood.

"Ms. Yeats, the property transfers outlined in the divorce agreement have been finalized. Everything has been successfully transferred to your name."

"Perfect. Thank you, Orson," Yvette smiled.

She hung up the phone.

"Good news?" Matthew asked.

"The divorce settlement just cleared. I am officially a very wealthy woman."

Matthew glanced over at her proud, smug expression and chuckled. "Well then, sugar daddy, please adopt me. This corporate slave is tired of working."
