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.

"Finnian?" Dexter asked in surprise. "Are you sure?"

"Are you questioning my memory?" Jenny pointed a finger at him. "I'm absolutely positive. It was the name Finnian, and it was written across several pages. In some places, she even drew little hearts next to it."

At this, Jenny slapped the table and laughed, a hint of disdain in her voice. "Think about how young she was back then. Barely twenty, and she already had someone on her mind. I only found out later that the 'Finnian' she wrote about every day was actually the second son of a top-tier billionaire family—the one from The Sanders Conglomerate. I heard they met at some medical exchange conference once. Tsk, one look, and she was hooked on his money and his face. But, from what I hear, her dream came true. She actually married that Sanders guy. She must have been thrilled to death."

At that moment, behind the screen, Finnian sat frozen in his chair, rigid as stone. Beneath his sunglasses, his eyes squeezed tightly shut before flying open again.

Dexter was equally stunned, probing in disbelief, "Are you certain? Could you be mistaken? Was the guy Kaia liked really her current husband?"

"What husband? I heard Mr. Sanders doesn't want her anymore and that they're about to get a divorce. Good riddance! I knew it. She couldn't possibly get to keep every good thing that ever happened to her, hmph."
