What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 462

The accusations he had heard tonight left Finnian leaning exhaustedly against the wall. He had merely shown Noelle some concern—how did that translate in the eyes of outsiders as if they were engaged in some illicit, intimate affair?

Had he really crossed the line?

He opened his eyes and stared at his reflection in the mirror. He hadn't been looking quite as confident and commanding lately.

Regardless of whatever misunderstandings had been created before, Finnian decided right then and there that he needed to resolve this situation immediately.

And he had already thought of a way to put an end to these kinds of rumors once and for all.

He picked up his phone and dialed Elaine's number.

The very next morning, Elaine gathered a group of wealthy wives from her social circle for tea and lunch.

At the private tea party, Elaine joyfully announced a piece of fantastic news.

She declared that the Sanders family would soon be welcoming two new additions, leaving everyone in attendance stunned.

Then, Elaine brought out Noelle's prenatal checkup records to share with the group. "Once Noelle gives birth to Rafael's children, I'll have much less time to meet up with you all. Sigh, Noelle's devotion to my eldest son is truly unwavering. Even though he's gone, she secretly went to Canada to have the embryos they froze three years ago implanted, determined to leave Rafael a legacy. That girl really has such a strong sense of responsibility, it warms my heart."

The comment sections exploded instantly. Countless women were moved to tears, praising Noelle's deep devotion and willingness to bear her late husband's children. However, there were other voices too. Some questioned why she and Rafael needed IVF three years ago—was their marriage on the rocks, or did one of them have fertility issues? Others suspected that Noelle choosing to get pregnant now was a calculated move to secure a piece of the Sanders family inheritance.

But in the comments, barely anyone mentioned the rumored affair between Finnian and Noelle anymore.

Finnian's goal had been achieved.

He sat upright in his black leather chair, staring at the comments on his phone with an impassive expression.

Dexter stood beside him, quietly reporting some updates. Finnian simply nodded. "Keep an eye on things for me. And what about that other matter I asked you to investigate? Any news?"
