The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 308

It didn’t take him long to dig up the truth. Three days ago, Mr. Tyrrell’s account had logged into the core server. Not only had he changed some of the original medical records, but he’d also forged a fake illegal transfer log.

“The time, the IP address—it all points to the computer in your office. Do you have anything to say for yourself?” Matthew’s voice was calm but cold.

Jon’s legs went weak. He nearly crumpled to the floor. “I… I…”

He was scrambling for an excuse, but in the end, he cracked, his voice shaking. “I didn’t want to. The Barnard family made me do it!

“They said Bruce was in their way. They wanted me to find a reason to get him suspended so the Barnards could do what they needed. They promised they’d clear Bruce’s name once it was over.”

Matthew caught a glimpse of two people lingering outside the IT department. He smirked. “Then tell me, what exactly was Bruce getting in the way of?”

Jon stammered, “The Barnards found out that Mr. Ratcliff and his wife were doing IVF at our hospital. They wanted to know if there was something suspicious going on.”

“And?” Matthew pressed.

“So… they told me to try and take over the case. To dig up anything unusual. They seemed to think Mrs. Ratcliff didn’t really want a baby.”

Out in the hallway, Sebastian let out a bitter laugh and glanced at Reese. “See? Even strangers don’t believe you’d actually want to have another child with me, Reese…”

He didn’t get to finish before Jon’s voice carried on from inside. “They also told me to fake Mrs. Ratcliff’s medical report. They wanted Mr. Ratcliff and his wife to start fighting…”

Sebastian didn’t hear the rest. He stared blankly into the office, then turned to Reese.

She just smiled, but there was a sharp edge to it, half mocking, half heartbroken.

“So that’s what our relationship looks like to everyone else, Sebastian. So fragile that a little trick is enough to break us apart.

“Even Robbie knows I’m not the one in your heart. That’s why he keeps trying to hurt me. He knows you’d never do anything to stop him.”

Sebastian swallowed hard. He remembered the moment he saw the medical report, how his first thought was that Reese had cheated on him, how he never even considered something else might be going on. And when he saw her with Matthew, he instantly assumed the worst.

Regret washed over him. His voice was raw. “Reese, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have accused you without proof. I shouldn’t have said those things. I shouldn’t have—”

He stopped. Reese was staring at him with cold, tired eyes.

“You never trusted me, Sebastian. I don’t need your apology,” she said quietly.

“All these years, the misunderstandings and the hurt—it was never just this one time.”
