The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 268

The news that someone had been caught smuggling company data left her feeling weak all over.

But from the way Sebastian was talking, it sounded like that person hadn’t given her up. Instead, the blame had been pushed onto Ratcliff Global.

She finally let out a shaky breath, relieved.

“What kind of data did he take? Was it that important?”

Leslie’s face was tight with worry. “Is this really the work of someone high up at Ratcliff Global, or is it just foreign competition trying to frame them and drag their name through the mud?”

Sebastian studied Leslie, his eyes narrowing.

Her face gave nothing away, and what she said actually made sense.

They’d known each other for years. Everything he knew about her told him she wasn’t the type to get mixed up in something like this. But he couldn’t relax. People could always surprise you.

His phone buzzed. Sebastian glanced at the screen and his expression changed as he read his assistant’s message.

Reese pushed Tara, and that caused her miscarriage?

Ramos Corporation was under pressure from Iron Financial, and now the Meyer family was circling, trying to snatch it up?

He knew Reese. She loved kids. There was no way she would hurt Tara’s baby.

But why was she involved with Tara and Zach again?

Just thinking about Reese’s past with Zach made his chest feel tight, like there was a rock sitting on his heart.

Did she still have feelings for Zach?

“Sebastian.”

Leslie noticed he was lost in thought, staring at his phone, and assumed he’d gotten more news about the data leak.

Her heart dropped. Her face went pale, and her voice came out rushed. “Those people from headquarters are just here for a routine inspection, really. I had nothing to do with him trying to smuggle data out of the country. You have to believe me.”

Sebastian looked up, his gaze cold and distant. “You’d better hope that’s true.”

“Leslie, I don’t ever want to see you betray your own people.

How did headquarters know to intercept at the airport? That USB was specially made to block all signals. Unless—the data itself was tampered with.

Did Jane tip off Reese, or did Reese figure it out and mess with the files herself?

Rage flashed in Leslie’s eyes.

She grabbed her phone and dialed Jane.

“Jane, I have proof of all the shady things you’ve done.

“You really think you and Reese can team up and set me up? Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell everyone what you’ve been up to?”

Jane was out in the garden watering her flowers when the call came through, completely confused by Leslie’s accusation. “What are you talking about? How did I set you up?”

All week, Jane had been wracking her brain trying to figure out how to convince Reese to have a baby. She hadn’t thought about Leslie at all.

But Leslie didn’t care. “I’m warning you—if you don’t want everyone to know what you’ve done, you’d better find a way to get Reese out of her job. I don’t care how you do it. Just make it happen.”
