The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 350

After getting the info she wanted, Sofia told Bailey and Hank goodnight, then slipped out of the study and headed back to her bedroom. She locked the door, barely able to wait another second before dialing Grace’s number.

“Mom, you’re not going to believe this. Leslie’s case really is tied to Reese!”

Grace was sitting on the couch, watching the maid carry her suitcase out to the car. She straightened up immediately. “Are you serious? What’s going on?”

“Dad said it himself. Leslie getting arrested wasn’t some accident. Reese planned the whole thing.” Sofia’s words came out in a rush as she repeated everything she’d overheard in the study. “The National Security Bureau only got the evidence because Reese was working behind the scenes. She’s basically being treated like a hero right now.”

For a second, Grace was stunned. Then a sly, satisfied smile crept across her face, and she let out a soft laugh, feeling all the tension of the night dissolve.

Back then, she’d gone to Alex because she knew how much he loved his daughter. He’d agreed to her plan just to make sure his daughter had a better future. If he found out now that it was Reese who had set his daughter up, everything would change.

With the way Alex doted on Leslie, there was no way he wouldn’t hate Reese after this. He wouldn’t just refuse to testify for Reese. He might even help Grace take her down instead.

All she had to do was find Alex and tell him what Reese did to Leslie. Without Alex as a witness, Reese could be as powerful as she wanted, but she’d never be able to dig up the past.

“Mom?” Sofia’s voice broke through her thoughts.

“I’m here,” Grace replied, her tone lighter now that her plan was coming together. “I’ll be at Bridger Lake tomorrow. We’ll talk more when I get there.”

Once she hung up, Grace went over to her vanity and looked at her reflection. Her makeup was flawless, but her eyes had a sharp, almost dangerous glint.

The next day, just before noon, Grace walked out of Bridger Lake International Airport.

Sofia was already waiting at the VIP exit, driver by her side. As soon as Grace appeared, Sofia hurried over. “Mom, finally! You’re here!”

“Just like you told us, we focused on the people Reese has been around lately. We found out she and her lawyer were near a cafe last night. We checked the cameras around there and saw her lawyer leave with a man who matches Alex’s build.”

“They left the cafe, drove out toward the suburbs, and went into a neighborhood called Serene Gardens.”

“We asked around. Security’s tight there. All visitors and cars have to register.”

Grace flipped through the photos and info in the folder, a cold little smile tugging at her lips. “Reese sure knows how to pick a hiding spot. That neighborhood is way out of the way, and nobody would think to look there. Perfect place to stash someone.”

“What about now? Is Alex still inside?” she asked.

Seth nodded. “He is. We’ve got people watching the area. So far, neither Alex nor George has left.”
