The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 311

Tara thought everything would go exactly as planned. Sebastian would see Reese’s fake medical report, storm over to confront her, and the paparazzi would be there to capture the whole messy scene. Even if they were too scared to make a scene with a Ratcliff involved, they could at least get some footage—perfect for leverage against Reese later.

But what she didn’t see coming was how quickly Reese and Matthew cleaned up the mess. Within half a day, the whole medical report issue was sorted out, and Sebastian found out it was all Tara’s doing. Worse, the paparazzi she’d sent were now too scared of the Ratcliff family to even get close.

“I’ve got no idea,” one whispered, shaking his head. “Those guys gave off serious bodyguard vibes. Way too intense.”

“Let’s just wait it out. See if Reese comes down with them.”

“Are you sure this is going to work? Ms. Ramos wants video.”

“We’re talking about the Ratcliffs!” another snapped. “A couple of photos will have to do. I’m not risking my neck over this.”

As they argued, Reese appeared with several agents from the National Security Bureau. The elevator doors slid open and there she was.

“Quick, there she is!” someone hissed.

Cameras flashed. Someone started filming.

“Where are they even taking her?”

“No clue.”

They watched, confused, as Reese and the agents headed straight for a car with a government emblem on the door. The paparazzi just stared.

“That’s an NSB car, right?”

“She looks like she’s being taken away.”

The second her phone buzzed, she snatched it up. One look at the photo and she nearly dropped her phone and the mask.

The image showed Reese, surrounded by NSB agents, heading for an official car. Her face was set and serious, tension practically radiating off her.

“The NSB?” Tara’s eyes went wide. She immediately called her mom, Rosie, barely able to keep the excitement out of her voice. “Mom! Something huge just happened—Reese got arrested by the National Security Bureau!”

Rosie, busy with paperwork in her home office, froze mid-sentence. “What did you say? The NSB arrested Reese? What for?”

“I don’t know the details, but the paparazzi got a photo—it’s real!” Tara babbled. “Mom, what if she actually did something illegal? Like… I don’t know, stealing state secrets or something?”

Rosie was silent for a moment, her eyes sharpening. She set her pen down and walked to the window, her voice low and calm. “If that’s true, things are about to get very interesting.”
