Whats She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 466

Chapter 466

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.

Over the last few days, Finnian had rejected every single invitation Noelle sent his way. Unless it was strictly business, he ignored all her messages, leaving Dexter to handle them. When she called, he didn’t answer. When she came to the conglomerate for a meeting and waited for him in the hallway, he deliberately took another route to avoid her. He simply didn’t want to see her right now.

Noelle acutely felt Finnian’s icy demeanor toward her. Panic seized her heart, leaving her with a suffocating sense of impending doom.

She complained about this to Elaine, who frowned deeply as she listened.

Elaine immediately called Finnian to interrogate him, but he brushed her off, claiming he was just busy with work. Elaine didn’t buy it for a second. When was he ever not busy? But no matter how swamped he was, he still

had to eat.

After turning it over in her mind, Elaine concluded that Kaia was the root of the problem.

It had to be Kaia whispering in his ear, driving a wedge between mother and son. Kaia was probably still holding a grudge over Elaine throwing

coffee at her in the cafe.

She never expected the woman to be so petty.

The more Elaine thought about it, the angrier she got. She was about to grab her phone to give Kaia a piece of her mind, but as her finger hovered over the contact name, she paused and didn’t make the call.

She remembered what her son had told her that day-to stay out of his and Kaia’s marriage.

He had also emphasized how crucial Kaia was to both pharmaceutical companies, warning her not to start a fight at such a critical juncture.

Elaine tossed her phone aside in frustration. If Kaia was really pulling the strings behind the scenes, Elaine was definitely going to make her pay for this eventually.

Kaia worked overtime until eight-thirty that night before driving to the Chavez residence to pick up her daughter.

As the car pulled out onto the straight road leading away from the university district, Brynlee sat quietly in the backseat, playing with a puzzle toy.

The glow from the streetlights flashed rhythmically through the windows, rapidly falling behind them.

The shifting shadows played across Brynlee’s small face, casting it in alternating light and dark.

Kaia gripped the steering wheel, her eyes locked on the road ahead, while a small part of her mind lingered on the mess her brother had finally resolved.

“Mommy!” Brynlee’s voice piped up from the back.

Kaia immediately snapped to attention, glancing at her through the rearview mirror. “Yes, sweetie?”

Brynlee didn’t look up; she just kept turning the puzzle blocks in her hands. “Are you and Daddy splitting up?”
