The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 201

“When I came upstairs, I ran into her. She said she was just heading out to get something…” Reese’s words trailed off as she turned to turned to Aiden. “Aiden, go find the nurse. As soon as we track her down, we’ll know what really happened.

“Maybe she’s the one who did something to Mr. Ratcliff.”

Aiden stood off to the side, looking pale and uneasy. Even though e’d spent years by Mr. Ratcliff’s side, he wasn’t close to Reese. Still, he knew just how much the old man trusted her. It didn’t make sense that she’d ever hurt him. But blaming the nurse seemed even more far-fetched.

“I personally picked every nurse here. We ran background checks on all of them. They’re reliable. There’s just no way any of them would do something like this.

“And she’s been taking care of Mr. Ratcliff for so long. If she really wanted to hurt him, there were plenty of chances before. Why did she wait until now...”

“Ma’am, I already pulled the footage,” said one of the staff, sounding a little nervous. “The cameras show exactly when you went in, but there’s a chunk of time missing.

“I checked out why. It looks like someone tampered with the system.”

Jane’s sharp voice cut through the room. “Of course it was you! Isn’t this what you do for a living? Messing with computers?
