The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 226

Rosie’s face drained of color. She pressed herself against the wall, barely managing to stay on her feet. Her mind was spinning out of control.

What now?

What was she supposed to do?

Lost and panicked, she glanced at Tara, silently begging her to have a plan.

Tara sat up straighter on the hospital bed, thinking for a second before saying, “Mom, don’t freak out for now. Call Leslie. Get her here.”

“Do you really think that’ll help?” Rosie’s voice shook. “Sebastian cares so much about Leslie. If he finds out what happened, he might let Leslie off the hook and come after us instead.

“If that happens, we’ll have to deal with Zach and Sebastian’s anger at the same time. The Ramos family would be finished.”

Tara thought back to her last call with Leslie. “Trust me, as soon as Leslie hears about this, she’ll get involved. She won’t just sit back.

“If she really believed Sebastian loved her, she wouldn’t have risked trying to kill Mr. Ratcliff, and then tried to pin it all on Reese.

“I bet she wants Sebastian to hate Reese, push her into a divorce, and then take her place.

“Right now, she has more reason than any of us to keep the old man unconscious—she’s the one who tried to kill him.”

Rosie nodded, almost feverishly. “You’re right. She’ll have to do something.”

When Leslie got the call, she’d just finished reporting to her overseas contact about the Blade project’s core data.

The second Rosie told her that the nurse had spilled everything about cutting the oxygen line, Leslie was so furious she almost couldn’t breathe. In her head, she cursed the nurse for being so weak and useless.

Then she heard the military medical team was arriving soon and Mr. Ratcliff might wake up, and Leslie’s nerves kicked into overdrive.

Sebastian could never find out she was the one behind it.

She forced herself to sound calm and steady. “Understood. Send the nurse to Constance Hospital. I’ll have someone pick her up and make sure she’s safe.”

The moment she hung up, her calm melted away. A cold, ruthless look flashed in her eyes.
