Revenge Against My Ex-husband

Chapter 196 Evidence of the Affair

John immediately arranged for someone to follow Luther. He also went to the police station and asked

a contact to show him CCTV footage of the route that Marie had taken to go to Edric's villa. He found

that while Marie was on the way to the villa, there had been someone sitting at the back of her car. The

person was covered up so well so their face could not be seen clearly.

On the way back, the same person was still in Marie's car. This time however, Marie had taken a turn

into a small alley, and after she came back out, the person in her car was gone.

Although they could not see the person's appearance clearly, it was a meaningful discovery. When

Marie had gone to the Myers home, the blackout had not happened yet, which meant that the

surveillance cameras in the villa were still working. Perhaps they would be able to uncover something.

John hurried back to get the surveillance footage of the villa. He saw that while Marie's car had entered

the property, the person was still in the backseat. However, when she reached the villa, her passenger

had mysteriously disappeared.

John immediately told Edric about his discovery. After Edric seriously watched the tapes, he sneered

and said, "This person is still in the car."

Seeing that John was confused by his explanation, he continued, "Marie's car has tinted glass all This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

around except for her front windshield. That means you can't see the inside of her car from the sides or

the back of her car. Earlier, when you had seen a passenger in the backseat, you were looking in from

the front. That's why you were able to see them. However, after entering my house, that person must

have ducked down or laid down in the car to stay hidden. That way, the front camera would not be able

to detect them. Our villa's security guard knows Marie well, so he probably didn't pay that much

attention to her and had overlooked that there was a person hiding in her car."

"That makes sense," John understood the situation after hearing Edric's explanation, "That means that

the person had been hiding in the car, and they only came out after the security had left and there were

no surveillance cameras around. It seems that this person must have something to do with Mrs. Myer's

fainting."

Edric nodded, "Before this, I already had my suspicions about Marie being at my house. However, I

didn't expect such a huge discovery. I guess you never really know a person's true colors."

"Marie and Mrs. Myer are friends, and there was no conflict between them. Why would she want to hurt

Mrs. Myers?" John felt that the situation was too shocking.

"I'm trying to figure that out too. As long as you keep an eye on Marie, the truth will be revealed," Edric

smirked coldly.

Although she had personally tested Edric, Marie was still worried. She asked Deborah to tell Steven

about Margaret fainting and her injury.

Hearing that Margaret had gotten injured because of Irene, Steven was shocked. He could not believe

that Irene would do such a thing, so he personally went to Edric to clarify the matter.

Edric and Steven were not on good terms. Edric told Steven clearly that him and Irene were over. Now

that Irene was pregnant and Eden was sick, Edric temporarily had no plans to investigate further.

However, it was really only temporary. Once the child was born and Eden got better, he would definitely

find a way to obtain custody of the two children. Edric even criticised that with such a vile mother, it

would be detrimental to the children's growth.

Steven tried to put in some good words for Irene, but Edric stood firm in his position. Seeing him like

this, there was nothing Steven could do. He had no choice but to go home upsettingly.

The child was Irene's entire world. How could she let Edric take the child away? However, with

Margaret's current condition, Edric would not let this go so easily.

What should he do?

After he returned home, Steven was in a bad mood. Deborah deliberately asked him what Edric said

and Steven said angrily, "The Myers family is being too unreasonable. Even if Irene had made

Margaret faint, so what? Margaret is such an evil woman, she deserves it."

He had said this because he was really at his wit's end with Edric. Edric had always been polite when

he met Steven, but now that they had butted heads, his true colours were showing.

Deborah was secretly delighted and quickly told all of this to Marie. Marie finally heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed like Edric really did think that Irene was the one who injured Margaret this time. Her plan was

perfect. The only flaw was that Margaret had not died yet as they had planned and instead she was still

breathing.

Although Marie had confirmed that the chances of Margaret waking up were slim, it was still a loose

end. She had to think of a way to settle it once and for all.

Marie went to the hospital several times to visit Margaret to see if she could get a chance to end her

life. However, she had no chance to be alone with Margaret at all, for the caretaker that Edric had

hired was always there watching over her.

Hearing that Marie had gone to the hospital to visit her mother several times, Edric sneered. It seemed

that Marie still had a traitor's heart. She had been friends with his mother for so long, so why did she

treat Margaret like that? Additionally, who was the other person in the car that day? Once he found out

who that person was, she would be done for. By then, he would take back an eye for an eye, a tooth for

a tooth. He would be sure to bury those people who hurt his mother alive.

John had asked someone to follow Luther. At first, nothing appeared out of the ordinary, as he would

go to work and go home and he didn't really interact much with anyone either. However, one night, he

had gone out.

He got on a bus and got off after taking about a dozen stops. Then, he took a taxi to a large shopping

mall. After wandering in the shopping mall for a while, Luther had answered a phone call and went to

the bathroom.

A few minutes later, Luther had come out of the bathroom with a bag in his hand. The people following

him had seen him go in empty-handed. Immediately, they had called John and he rushed over to the

shopping mall.

He went to look for the manager of the mall and asked him for the surveillance footage. Through the

records, he noticed a man, who was wearing sunglasses and holding a bag in his hand, entering the

bathroom right before Luther did.

John looked through all the footage to track down the man in the sunglasses. Not long after, he saw the

man get into a car in the parking lot. The number plate ended with the numbers '465'.

After some inquiries, the owner of the car was found to be Cecilia Weil, a landlady who owned a bunch

of bars. John turned his attention over to her.

Cecilia Weil was not her real name, as she used to be known as Rosa Skinner. She changed her name

because she did not like how her old name sounded. Cecilia had been rebellious since young. At

around the age of 14 or 15, she got pregnant. That man eventually abandoned her, and she had

searched high and low for him, but to no avail. This led to her adopting a terrible lifestyle, and she

became a prostitute.

Prostitutes who were over 30 naturally had less clientele. Ever since Cecilia got older, not many men

wanted her anymore. So, she had decided to become a procurer. Of course, she did more than that.

For those old male clients that were not picky and did not want to spend too much for a young

prostitute, she would still offer her services and accompany them.

Besides procuring girls and sleeping with old men, Cecilia did not have many hobbies. After that, some

ladies around her started introducing her to chatting online through Twitter. They told her that she could

meet more men online, so Rosa decided to try it out too. In the app, she gave herself the name of

'Lovely Rose'. She was happy with the name, as it sounded artistic and it had her name incorporated in

it. She felt like she was a genius to have thought of it. Although she was a procurer, she liked to act like

she was smarter than everyone else.

Rosa used the nickname 'Lovely Rose' for a while but she did not manage to get any men. She was

rather frustrated and so she brought it up with the other ladies. They all laughed at her name, and they

told her nowadays people wanted something thrilling. Who would be attracted to such an artistic name?

Rosa thought about it for a while but she could not think of a nice name. She realized that all the other

ladies used nicknames with a lot of weird symbols. She asked one of the younger ladies to help her

think of a name. The lady thought about it, and told her that since she liked her previous nickname, she

could just add an adjective to it. Rosa felt like it did not sound nice at all. However, she couldn't think of

anything better, so she accepted her suggestion and changed her name on Twitter to 'Lovely Skinny

Rose'.

She had no idea that the young lady was actually duping her. Rosa was a very fierce and mean

procurer. She was petty and often charged high commission fees from them. The young ladies all

hated her. So, the young lady who had given Rosa that suggestion was actually trying to embarrass her

on purpose.

However, the name change turned out to be really effective. Immediately, someone had hit her up. With

her new nickname, Rosa managed to pick up quite a lot of guys. Although most of them were turned off

after meeting her in person, some of the men had a unique taste for older women. With the app, she

had managed to find quite a few partners.

Later on, Rosa met a man called Bruce. Bruce was tanned and buff. He was good in bed and so when

they first slept together, Rosa had fallen in love with him.

Rosa had not slept with a younger man who was so skilled in bed for a long time. So, she took quite a

fancy to Bruce. After their one night stand, they exchanged numbers and eventually started living

together.

Although Rosa was cruel to the girls working under her, she was not the same towards men. Perhaps

because she was older, she treated Bruce extremely well. She often brought him home and always

covered all his expenses.

In the blink of an eye, she had been together with Bruce for a few months. One night, Rosa came back

home from the club. However, Bruce was not home and he was not answering his phone either

Rosa felt like something strange was going on. What the hell was going on with Bruce? This had never

happened to her before.

After Bruce did not show up for two days, Rosa grew even more puzzled. Did that heartless boy grow

tired of her so he left?

Prostitutes were usually not one for emotions, but Rosa was different. She had really treated Bruce as

her partner. His two-day disappearance made Rosa start to panic. She quickly went to check her bank

account via an ATM machine. At the sight of her bank balance, she was furious. All her savings were

gone.

Rosa was about to blow a fuse. Her ATM card was linked to her phone number, so how could he have

transferred all the money without her being notified? She angrily went to the bank to ask the

receptionist. That was when she realized that the phone number linked to her bank account had been

changed. She had been living with Bruce those past few months like husband and wife, so she had

hidden nothing from him. Bruce was the only person who could have made her let down her walls like

that.

Rosa was boiling with anger and she quickly filed a police report. Once she made that report, John

caught wind of it immediately. He was keeping an eye on Rosa just to find out about Bruce's

whereabouts. Originally he had thought that he would be able to uncover the truth soon, but Rosa was

actually much more clueless than he expected. However, this was a good chance for John to get near

her.
