The Hidden Empress Stripping Her Secrets After Divorce novel Chapter 616

"She will lose her mind." Sebastian turned to face him. "And a woman driven mad by betrayal doesn't care about logic. She'll make Logan pay in blood."

Seth nodded in agreement.

"Also," Sebastian said, walking back to the sofa, "do not lay a finger on the boy. The child is innocent. But the mother—let her raise hell. Offer her enough money, and she'll play her part flawlessly."

"Got it."

Sebastian picked up the tablet, his eyes scanning the screen again. "Keep a tight watch on Logan's operations. Once the shipment is seized, monitor his every reaction."

Seth hesitated. "Boss, what if he figures out it's you?"

"Let him." Sebastian didn't look up. "Right now, he thinks I'm lying half-dead in a Swiss hospital bed. I'm the last person on his radar. And even if he suspects me, he doesn't have a shred of proof."

Seth didn't press the issue. "I'll go get this in motion."

"Go."

Seth turned and headed for the door. Just as he took a few steps, Sebastian's voice caught him from behind.

"Have you found anything on Mr. Vance?"

Seth paused and looked back. "Not yet. Our people are digging, but we haven't hit any major breakthroughs."

Sebastian was silent for a few seconds. "Keep digging. Expand the search radius."

"Yes, sir."

Seth left, shutting the door behind him.

The living room sank into heavy silence. Sebastian leaned his head back against the sofa, closing his eyes.

His mind was moving like a chess master's—Logan's fund, the smuggling route, the mistress, the son. Each piece was fuel being thrown onto the pyre. The hotter the fire burned, the more panicked Logan would become. And desperate men made fatal mistakes.

He opened his eyes and picked up his phone.

Finding Evelyn's name, he typed a quick message.

[How are things on your end?]

A few seconds passed before she replied.
