The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 219

When he was a kid and got himself into trouble, it was always his grandfather who stepped in and cleaned up his mess. Later, when he took over Ratcliff Global and faced all kinds of challenges, it was his grandfather who had his back, giving him the strength to push through.

His grandfather used to say that all he wanted was for Sebastian to be happy. Not just success at work, but someone to love him, someone to stand by his side.

“You brat, Reese is a good girl. Treat her well. Don’t let her get hurt. Sometimes you have to take a step back. That’s how you make a life together.”

Sebastian never really took those words to heart before. But now, they kept echoing in his mind and just wouldn’t leave him alone.

So did Reese’s smile, the way she’d quietly given so much to the Ratcliff family over the years, always looking out for him, never saying a word about how badly Jane treated her.

And what had he done in return? He’d had her sent to the police station.

Sebastian couldn’t sit still anymore. He grabbed his jacket and got up, turning to the bodyguard nearby. His voice was tight and serious. “Keep an eye on Grandpa. If anything happens, call me right away.”

Meanwhile, in a holding cell at the police station, Reese leaned against the wall with her eyes closed, trying to figure out how she could get to the bottom of her mother’s car accident.

The door clicked open and a police officer came in, his tone softer than before. “Reese, you have a phone call. Come with me.”

She paused, confused. George hadn’t come back. Hank had left after their fight. Who would be calling her now?

She followed the officer to the front desk, picked up the phone, and spoke quietly. “Hello?”

“Reese, it’s me.”

The voice on the other end was steady and familiar, instantly calming her.

“Matthew…” Just hearing his voice made her eyes sting, and for a second, she almost lost control of all the emotions she’d been pushing down for days.
