The Wife He Dumped, The Queen She Returned As novel Chapter 101

"Chloe, he would never marry a woman he didn't love!" Eleonora Hayes said, heartbroken. "Is there a misunderstanding between you two? Is it because of Jenna Cameron?"

Preston and Jenna's relationship was obvious to anyone with eyes.

Yet he alone could self-righteously claim they were just friends.

"Grandma, Preston and I..."

As Chloe opened her mouth, the heart monitor beside the bed suddenly emitted a sharp alarm. Eleonora's emotions flared instantly.

Seeing the older woman's reddened eyes, Chloe swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue. Her fingers curled inward as she gently soothed her.

"Grandma, that letter was a fake. It was probably someone's sick prank."

"Preston and I did have a fight, but what couple doesn't argue? We wouldn't just get divorced over nothing."

Hearing this, Eleonora finally relaxed.

Right then, the doctor arrived and told Chloe, "The patient needs to rest. Please wait outside."

Chloe looked at the hospital bed and murmured, "Grandma, get some good rest. I'll come see you tomorrow."

"Okay, Chloe. If Preston makes you mad, you must tell me!"

Chloe agreed, turned around, and quietly slipped out of the room.

As soon as she was outside, Eleonora's personal maid hurried over, hesitating before speaking. "Mrs. Hayes, I actually know you didn't leave that letter. Mr. Hayes was just anxious, so please don't take it to heart."

Chloe looked at her.

"This afternoon, I vaguely saw a figure..." She paused. "But the hallway security cameras coincidentally broke down, so there's no proof."

Chloe nodded slightly. "Yeah, thank you."

The maid anxiously added, "Mrs. Hayes, are you... are you really going to divorce Mr. Preston? Please reconsider!"

"Ever since that misunderstanding about your pregnancy last time, Mrs. Hayes has been depressed and distracted. She fell ill the very next day. She wouldn't let us tell you. At her age, she's been longing for a great-grandchild but was afraid of pressuring you both, so she kept it all bottled up."
