Hunting for His EX-Wife

Stefan was terrified at the thought of the consequences of Martha’s emotional breakdown the last time she argued with him.

Martha said ironically, “Do I look like I’m not okay?”

“After so many things happened, you…”

She interrupted him when he was in mid-sentence.

“No big deal. It’s not like I haven’t been through anything like this. I’m fine. Right now I just wanna go have a rest.”

Stefan saw the fatigue on her face, so he swallowed the caring words he was about to say. He was afraid that she didn’t even need it.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

He then pressed his thin lips and took a step back.

He stood rooted to the spot and watched her walk back to her room and shut the door.

At the thought that Martha hadn’t eaten much today, he went downstairs to have the maid make some soup and bring it to her.

Meanwhile, in Martha’s room.

She was lying on the couch with dull eyes, gazing at the ceiling.

She didn’t see Joann’s dead body but that was a human life, after all.

Besides, based on her understanding of Joann, she didn’t think Joann would commit suicide to escape punishment.

Martha’s long eyelashes fluttered. She thought, ‘If it weren’t suicide, then there’s only one possibility-murder. Well, then it’s pretty clear.’

‘If Hollie killed Joann, conspired with the kidnapper, and made the crime scene look like the way Joann killed herself.’

‘Such being the case, Hollie can get out of the whole thing. Malicious and merciless as she is, killing one person is not that hard for her.’

Martha was glad that nothing serious happened to Jane or she wouldn’t forgive herself for the rest of her life.

…

At the same time, Hollie got back to the villa where Libby lived.

She sat on the couch and watched Libby making tea for her, looking depressed.

“If that idiot Joann hadn’t kidnapped the wrong person, this date would be the anniversary of Martha’s death.”

“Have some coffee. We’ve got plenty of time to talk.”

Libby held up a cup of coffee slowly and put it in front of Hollie.

Hollie took the cup, drank it all, and started to tell the whole thing with anger-

“When we were on the island. we had two local residents disguise as the workers at the construction site and take Martha away. Rhys and Stefan weren’t around her back then. But who knows? Even if we got the best chance ever, that idiot Joann still had her way to blow this. She kidnapped Jane, the one who works for Martha!”

Hollie got more furious as she said it.

That bitch Joann actually had the nerve to hit her!

How dared she!

“That bitch tried to turn me in. We got into a fight, and then… I accidentally killed her.”

Hollie looked at Libby anxiously with trepidation when she finished those words.

Although, she had erased all traces of her from the crime scene.

Still, there might something she had missed. And if someone found it, then she…

Having been aware of the whole thing, Libby sat next to Hollie and patted her back to comfort her.

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll have it dealt with later. I promise, there won’t be any evidence left against you. And the police won’t find it.”

“So relieved to hear that. I knew you would help me.”

Hollie’s anxiety all dissipated, as she knew that she would be fine as long as Libby was there.

After feeling better, she thought about failing to get Martha killed this time, and a touch of resentment appeared in her eyes.

“If Rhys and Stefan weren’t around Martha and protected her, I would have made it right now.”

“Made it right now?”

Hearing Hollie’s words, Libby squinted and said meaningfully, “She’s more complicated than you thought.”

“What do you mean?”

Hollie frowned in confusion, not understanding why Libby would say that.

In Hollie’s eyes, Martha just became a little more tricky than four years ago, and Martha would be not a match for her without the protection of Rhys and Stefan.

Libby stood up with a stern face, and passed over a file on the table to Hollie.

“Look at this.”

Hollie got more confused as she looked down and saw Martha’s name on it.

Libby’s voice came into Hollie’s ears when she was flipping through the file.

“I made a bunch of calls to have them get it for me overseas.”

Hollie looked through it quickly, and soon caught the point.

The astonishment on her face was pretty obvious.

Martha’s secret was written on the paper clearly and even Hollie didn’t know that.

Martha had given birth to a child abroad who had been in the hospital for a long time. The name of the hospital had not been found out. The only thing they knew was that child was in poor health and needed to receive treatment often.

Hollie was in big shock. She looked up at Libby and couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

‘Martha had a child?’

‘Would that child be … Stefan’s?’
