His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 387

After a long, hot bath and a quick check on her post–surgery wounds, Glynnis was ready to indulge in a glass of red wine.

“Linda? Linda!” Glynnis called out. The housemaid, Erica, immediately rushed in, “I’m here, Ms. Glynnis.”

Ever since Evadne had assigned her the task of spying, Erica had been trying to get close to Elspeth and Glynnis, trying to gain their trust. Although Elspeth was naturally suspicious and hard to win over, Glynnis was a lot more naive and easier to approach.

So, Erica made herself indispensable to Glynnis, offering her unending support and assistance. Otherwise, as a lower–class maid who had previously worked for Marilla, Erica would have been kicked out of the Windermere Estate in no time by Glynnis.

“Go to the wine cellar and bring me a good bottle of wine.” Glynnis ordered, applying a face mask to her now surgically–enhanced face. Erica nodded and quickly left to fulfill her task.

Glynnis then realized that she had left her phone in the movie room on the third floor. She couldn’t survive a minute without it, so she had no choice but to retrieve it herself. As she was walking, she suddenly saw a shadow pass by. She let out a gasp, almost dropping the mask from her face. A few steps away, a pale woman with disheveled hair emerged from the dimly lit corridor.

Upon closer inspection, Glynnis let out a sigh of relief. “Mom, is that you?”

Elspeth, hunched over and wrapped in a cashmere coat, peered at Glynnis through her messy hair. Glynnts was astounded to see her once sophisticated and elegant mother

in such a state.

Elspeth suddenly grabbed Glynnis‘ arm and dragged her back to the bedroom.

“Mom, what happened? My arm hurts, Mom!”

“Shut up! Be quiet!” Elspeth snapped, silencing Glynnis with a fierce glare.

Once they were back in the room, Elspeth looked around nervously before locking the door. “Mom, what’s going on? What happened?” Glynnis asked anxiously.

Elspeth sat on the couch, still shivering despite the warm room. “Glynnis. I made a mistake tonight. I said something I shouldn’t have/

“What? What did you say?” Glynnis was full of questions.

“I went for another cosmetic treatment tonight. Dr. Victor gave me an injection. He said it would make me feel relaxed, better than the medication I had been taking.” Elspeth explained with a trembling voice.

“I fell asleep after the injection. When I woke up, Dr. Victor asked me who Cynthia was!” Glynnis gasped, goosebumps all over her body.

“Mom. What did you say? And who is this Dr. Victor? How could you say that?“”

The real cause of Thaddeus‘ mother’s death was not a secret to Glynnis. In a way, Elspeth was the one who drove Cynthia to suicide!

Elspeth had cleverly manipulated Cynthia’s maid into replacing her depression medication, spread rumors about Cynthia, and eventually drove Cynthia to jump off the building.

This was Elspeth’s proudest achievement, although she could never brag about it to anyone.

“I don’t know. I don’t know how much I said. I don’t know what I told him.” Elspeth admitted, her eyes still unfocused and her voice shaky. “But Dr. Victor swore to me that he would keep everything confidential. He won’t leak it out!”

“Mom! How could you be so naive! Dr. Victor is not your son, what if he spills it out? What if he blackmails you later?” Glynnis exclaimed.

She tiptoed towards her bedroom door and burst in, only to find it empty. She let out a sigh of
