The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 316

Every word of Sebastian and Reese’s conversation carried clearly into the observation room.

Matthew stood at the one-way glass, fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. Thinking about everything Reese had gone through made his chest ache, but his eyes only grew colder, anger simmering just beneath the surface.

“You all heard what Sebastian said,” Matthew said, taking a deep breath that barely smoothed out the rage in his voice. He swept his gaze over the group, still visibly furious. “Sebastian admitted it himself. The decision to vouch for Leslie was his alone. Reese had nothing to do with any of it. And let’s not forget—Reese was against the Big X partnership from the start. Mr. Sanchez can back me up on that.”

He glanced at Peter Sanchez, standing right next to him.

Peter’s expression was sour as he nodded, a note of regret in his voice. “That’s right. Sebastian convinced me. He said Big X was trustworthy and Leslie was an old friend. That’s why I agreed. Honestly, after what we just heard… this could ruin him.” Peter let out a heavy sigh. “Back then, I figured, Blade is a joint project between BlackOak and Ratcliff Global, Sebastian’s recommendation should be reliable. When Reese, as co-lead, disagreed, I invited her to the equestrian club to talk it over.”

He shot a scathing look at Sebastian through the glass. “And let’s not forget, Sebastian’s mother Jane once planted a data device in Reese’s pocket. If Reese were really behind any of this, she wouldn’t have bothered faking data to mislead Leslie, and she definitely wouldn’t have worked with us to take down Big X’s overseas exec. Even her recent resignation from BlackOak was part of her plan. Jane was trying everything to force Reese into having a baby, and Reese only pretended to go along so she could catch Leslie off guard. Leslie has always resented Reese. Now, with all the evidence stacked against her, she’s just trying to drag Reese down with her.”

The lead agent from the security bureau nodded as he listened. Someone beside him immediately handed over a file containing the evidence they’d just discussed.
