The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 248

Leslie and her crew were cornered this time was doomed this time.

When Reese got home after work, she went straight to sorting through the files she’d need for court the next day. She couldn’t tell if it was just nerves about the trial or something else, but lying there in bed, sleep refused to come.

Then her phone lit up. A message from Matthew.

[Tracking’s on schedule. Everything’s fine. Don’t worry.]

[Get some rest, goodnight.]

Really, what was there left to worry about?

She’d done everything she could.

Tomorrow, she’d finally break free from Sebastian.

Downstairs, Matthew watched the light go out in Reese’s bedroom. He slipped his phone away, smiled to himself, and headed home.

She grabbed her folder and made it to the courthouse a full thirty minutes early, meeting George right outside.
