The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 345

Reading the message, Winona felt a sharp, agonizing squeeze in her chest.

She immediately dialed Stefan's number.

It went straight to voicemail.

Panic rising, Winona quickly called Roxana instead.

Ever since Stefan had been injured, Roxana and Violet had returned to the Capital.

Following Stefan's strict orders, neither of them had breathed a word to Winona about his condition.

"Winona," Roxana's soft voice answered.

Winona didn't hesitate. "Was Stefan badly hurt?"

Roxana paused for a fraction of a second before sighing. "Yes, he's hurt. But he specifically told us not to tell you."

Winona's eyes stung with unshed tears. "Can I come see him?"

"Winona, my parents are furious right now. It's really not a good idea for you two to see each other right now."

Grandma Violet was practically sick with anger over the situation, and Roxana herself had been grounded. If Winona showed up and Stefan's parents made things difficult for her, Roxana wouldn't be able to protect her.

Winona's gaze dropped to the floor. "I understand."

She hung up and leaned back in her office chair, her mind a chaotic blur.

Right as she was leaving work, the police department called.

Using advanced tracking and crypto-tracing, they had successfully identified the person who anonymously purchased the AI deepfake services from a third-party vendor: Tallulah Shipley.

Winona listened in dead silence, then replied with ice in her voice, "I refuse any sort of private settlement. Please proceed with the arrest according to standard protocol."

"Understood."

Meanwhile, Tallulah had just finished watching the live stream. Her chest ached with sheer fury.

She couldn't comprehend how Winona was so incredibly lucky. Not even this could ruin her reputation!

And what was wrong with the Goddard Group? Were they running a charity? How could they hand over classified lab footage to the police just to protect one employee?

"Tallulah."

At the sudden sound of Yulen's voice, Tallulah jumped. Her phone slipped from her hands and clattered onto the floor.
