The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 405

“Find a way to steal that project plan and send it to me.”

Vivian almost laughed when she heard Sebastian fall right into her trap. “But that’s a Ramos Corporation secret,” she said, trying to sound worried. “Their security is super tight, you know.”

“I don’t care. Figure it out.” Sebastian’s voice was cold, completely merciless. “I already have your parents’ medical records. I know where your brother goes to school, too.”

Vivian’s hands shook from anger. She couldn’t believe the boss of Ratcliff Global would actually stoop to threatening her family like this. If Reese hadn’t arranged for her parents and brother to come back home ahead of time, more horrible things would have happened.

“…Fine, I’ll try.” Her voice was shaky, defeated. “But I need some time. The plan isn’t with Reese. I’ll have to wait for a chance to get into her office.”

“You have two hours.” Sebastian’s tone was final. “I want results. If I don’t get them, you’ll have to deal with the consequences.”

“Alright,” Vivian replied.

She hung up and stared at her phone, a cold little smile curling at her lips. Without hesitating, she opened her messages, found Reese’s chat, and sent the recording of her call over.

Night crept in around the old Meyer family house.

Karter walked toward the house with two tech guys, all three dressed as electricians in blue uniforms, tool bags slung over their shoulders.

Jose and Danny crouched in the shadows outside, sharing a cigarette while keeping an eye on the front gate.

“Someone from inside called for repairs,” Karter said, pulling out a work order and handing it over. “You guys are security, right? Call in and check if you want.” He grumbled under his breath, “Rich folks and their rules.”

Jose took the work order and squinted at it under his phone’s light. Everything seemed legit.

“Wait here. I’ll check.” He pulled out his phone and dialed Duncan. “Hey, Duncan, I just passed by the old house. It looks like the lights are off. Is there something wrong with the power?”

“You must be seeing things. The lights are fine,” Duncan replied. “But the sprinkler system in the back garden is acting up, so I called someone to fix it.”

Jose hung up, glanced at Karter and his crew, and nodded. “Go ahead, but don’t wander around. Just get your job done and leave.”

“No problem. Thanks, man,” Karter replied with a grin, leading his team inside the old house.
