What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 511

Dexter was still exchanging banter with Ms. Jenny, clearly being playfully teased by her on the other end of the line.

But none of this was what Finnian Sanders wanted to hear.

He just wanted to get straight to the point and hear the one name he desired most.

Dexter knew his boss was getting impatient, so he said, "Ms. Jenny, let's talk more about Kaia. I'm on a bit of a tight schedule here."

"Kaia, huh..." Jenny pushed her glasses up her nose, her voice dripping with years of aged bitterness. "Hmph, everyone always talks about how amazing and outstanding she is. The truth is, she just got lucky. She had a good life, the professors adored her, and she got first pick of all the best research projects. None of us thought it was fair back then."

Dexter listened intently. "And then?"

"I just wanted to know what made her so special." Jenny smacked the table, acting deeply offended. "I only found out later that her family had connections. Her grandmother was a highly respected figure in traditional medicine who knew a lot of important people, and Kaia herself was mentored by a top expert in the field. Tsk, tsk, with all those connections stacked together, it would have been hard for her not to succeed."

Dexter smiled without saying a word as he listened. He knew Dr. Chavez didn't climb to the top on empty titles alone.

Jenny rambled on with a barrage of petty remarks, rehashing all her old grievances and resentments from the past.

Hidden behind the privacy screen, Finnian didn't absorb a single word of it. He just found her annoyingly loud.

"About that notebook you mentioned earlier..." Dexter interjected at the perfect moment. "Do you remember what was written in it? That could be a crucial clue."

Jenny fell silent for a moment, tilting her head as if struggling to recall the details.
