The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 425

Nathaniel was on the run now, wanted by the police and completely out of options. He could barely protect himself, let alone threaten Bailey anymore.

If Reese knew what’s best for her, withdrew her report against Grace and stopped digging into her mother’s accident, then Bailey would have nothing to worry about.

Once Vista Tech landed the civilian contract for the Blade system, he’d still be sitting at the top as chairman of Meyer Group. He could keep living the good life, surrounded by respect and luxury, just as he always had.

That thought brought a real smile to Bailey’s face, something he hadn’t felt in a long time.

He flicked his cigarette into the ashtray, stood up, and walked over to the bar. He grabbed a bottle of whiskey, poured himself a full glass, and took a long drink. The warm burn slid down his throat, and he let out a satisfied sigh.

It had been years since he felt this relaxed.

All he needed now was for Reese to drop the case.

As he thought about it, a frown creased his brow.

Yesterday, he’d told Douglas to spread everything about Dylon online. The internet had exploded, people couldn’t stop talking about it. And this morning, he got word that the police had already shown up at Ramos Corporation.

Reese should have gotten the message by now. She knew he had more dirt on Dylon, so she should have come running, ready to negotiate, ready to back off and drop the charges.

Dylon was her uncle and had run Ramos Corporation for years. His mistakes were the company’s mistakes. Reese always put the company first, so protecting Ramos Corporation should have been her top priority.

But as the day slipped into night, there was still nothing from her. No calls, no messages, not even a hint that she cared. It was like she wasn’t worried at all.
