Whats She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490

Elaine’s lips quivered. She had absolutely no idea what to say.

Every word Noelle had spoken in that recording acted like a serrated blade tearing into her heart. She had raised the girl for eighteen years. How could her mind be so twisted and

calculating?

How had Elaine never seen what was truly lurking beneath the surface? She had always viewed Noelle as a tragic, innocent victim of fate-a pure, naive girl dealt a terrible hand.

Had she been completely blind this whole time? Noelle had masterfully played both of her sons against each other. What on earth was she actually after?

Josephine opened her eyes, studying Kaia in silence for a long time before she finally spoke. “Kaia, she is still your elder. Let it go.”

Kaia looked right back at her. “Grandmother, if an elder doesn’t know how to respect others, then in my eyes, they don’t deserve to be treated like one.”

Elaine’s face flushed a deep, humiliating crimson. Kaia’s sharp tongue spared no one; she was absolutely ruthless when she knew she was in the right.

But to expect an apology from Elaine was completely out of the question.

Josephine found herself utterly speechless. Noelle had simply been far too greedy. Now, with Kaia’s recording cementing the undeniable truth that Noelle had intentionally seduced Finnian, the disgusting stigma of a widowed sister-in-law openly throwing herself at her brother-in-law was a permanent stain she could never wash away.

“Elaine, make sure you keep a close eye on Noelle. Do not let her stress herself into losing the other baby. Regardless of whether it’s a boy or a girl, it’s the last remaining child Rafael will ever leave behind,” Josephine commanded, her voice heavy with sorrow.

Elaine’s eyes brimmed with tears as she nodded forcefully. “Yes. I know.”

Josephine turned her attention back to Kaia. “Kaia, the Sanders family owes you an immense apology. I know you’ve been incredibly mature, swallowing your grievances for the sake of peace. Thank you for doing everything in your power to uphold the family’s dignity.”

Hearing this, Elaine was momentarily stunned, staring blankly at Kaia.

She suddenly recalled all the vicious, unhinged things she had screamed at her-and the time she had flown into a violent rage and thrown boiling coffee on Kaia simply because the younger woman had dared to state the truth about Noelle’s feelings for Finnian.

Looking at it now, she had wrongfully vilified her.

“You are a very rational elder, Grandmother. Thank you for understanding,” Kaia replied.

Without another word, she turned, got into her car, and drove off.

Elaine watched Kaia’s car disappear into the distance, a suffocating knot of shame and anger lodged tightly in her throat. She couldn’t swallow it, and she couldn’t spit it out.

As Elaine walked back into the hospital lobby and leaned heavily against the elevator wall, the audio recording played on an agonizing loop in her mind.

Every single word Noelle had spoken, every calculating retort from Kaia-it all sliced into her like physical daggers.

How did things go so horribly wrong?

She had personally sent someone to bring an eight-year-old Noelle to the estate. She had been so scrawny and tiny, trembling by the front door, too terrified to step inside.
