The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 374

Her staff might be compromised.

She had hired three housekeepers: Leah handled the cooking, Mamie took care of Grandma, and Nelly did the cleaning.

After locking the front door, she slipped straight into Grandma’s room. Leda was still awake and looked up in surprise. “Where did you go this late?”

Nathalie climbed onto the bed, snuggling up to the older woman. She lowered her voice to a whisper. “Grandma, I think the maids might be working for someone else.”

Leda leaned in, matching her hushed tone. “Why do you say that?”

Nathalie hadn’t wanted to worry her grandmother, but she recounted the terrifying ordeal of having her bag snatched right outside the Register Office.

Leda listened intently, then sighed. “So, you went out so late to see Lance?”

“Yeah. He caught the guy who stole my bag.” Nathalie nodded.

Leda gave her a probing look. “Did you suspect he was behind it?”

“Absolutely. I assumed he hired someone to steal my documents because he was dragging his feet on the divorce.” Nathalie was always completely honest with her grandmother.

Leda smiled softly before asking, “And now that you know it wasn’t him, what do you think?”

Nathalie lowered her eyes, her long lashes casting shadows on her

cheeks. “Does it really matter if he didn’t do it this time? It’s exactly the

kind of stunt he’s pulled in the past.”

Leda sighed gently. “But you did misjudge him this time, and he even caught the culprit to prove it to you.”

Nathalie instinctively deflected. “Grandma, back to the maids. I’m going to set up hidden cameras in the apartment, and…”

She leaned close to Leda’s ear, whispering the rest of her plan.

Leda nodded in agreement. “Alright. I’ll keep an eye out for you. Go

ahead.”

Nathalie laid her head on the pillow. “I’m sleeping in here tonight.”

“Okay.”

The next morning, Nathalie set her trap into motion. She asked Mamie to take Grandma out for some fresh air, sent Leah to the grocery store, and gave Nelly the afternoon off. Once the coast was clear, she had a technician come over and install hidden cameras.

It took barely an hour. Nathalie checked the live feed on her phone and smiled in satisfaction.

That afternoon, while sitting in the living room with Grandma, Nathalie spoke up clearly. “My replacement IDs will be ready tomorrow. I’ve already set an appointment with Lance to finalize the paperwork at the Register Office in the afternoon.”

Leda nodded. “That’s good to hear.”

All three maids were bustling around the living room area, and Nathalie hadn’t bothered to lower her voice. They had all heard her loud and clear. The following morning, Nathalie left the apartment bright and early.

But instead of heading to pick up her documents, she slipped into a nearby cafe, ordered a coffee, and glued her eyes to the security feed.

At first, everything seemed normal. But it wasn’t long before Nelly grabbed a trash bag and headed out.
