What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 466

Could it be that after eighteen years of knowing her, the Noelle he thought he knew wasn't the real her?

The next morning, inside the Veridian Future office, Kaia was busy handling some paperwork when her phone buzzed. A deposit of fifty million dollars had hit her account, and the sender was none other than her brother, Leo.

Kaia blinked in surprise. Just three days ago, she had transferred fifty million to him to help him out of a tight spot. How had he repaid the money so quickly? Did he end up selling his house after all?

Right then, Leo called.

"Kaia, I sent the money over. Check your account."

"Leo, where did you get this money? Don't tell me you really sold..."

"Relax, I didn't sell the house. I managed to recover all the money I was scammed out of! It was all thanks to Finnian. He helped me out, and we got every single cent back."

Kaia froze, her grip tightening on the phone. "He helped you?"

"Yeah! Finnian had his people dig into Brent's background and then contacted the financial crimes unit. They already had an open case, but Finnian pushed the process along, and just like that, the money was recovered. He did me a massive favor, I really need to thank him properly." Leo sounded incredibly thrilled, like a man who had walked through hell and finally saw the sunlight again.

Kaia remained silent. Her mind drifted back to that day at the coffee shop. Finnian had helped her out of a tough spot and casually mentioned that he could help with her brother's mess, but she had turned him down.

She never expected him to step in and help anyway.

"Kaia, I gotta say, Finnian is a solid guy. Even though he won't be my brother-in-law for much longer, I still want to keep in touch with him. By the way, I told him I'm treating him to dinner, and he agreed. You should come too."

Kaia was silent for a moment. "I'm not going."

"Kaia..."

"Leo, you guys enjoy your dinner. I'm busy over here." Before Leo could say anything else, Kaia hung up the phone.

Finnian's sudden bout of loyalty was truly baffling. In the past, whenever something involved her brother, she had to march right up to Finnian, explain the whole situation in detail, and practically force him to sign on the dotted line.

This time, he had proactively offered his help.

Kaia frowned. She didn't feel touched; instead, a heavy, stifling feeling settled in her chest.

Finnian's mood had also been terrible these past few days. He felt like he had been living inside a carefully fabricated lie. Perhaps this lie had always been there, but he simply never lifted the veil to see it. It took a single conversation with his grandmother for him to finally wake up.
