My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 708:

Before she could pick a movie, her phone buzzed, interrupting her brief moment of peace.

“Carrie Campbell.” Camille’s voice came through, unusually serious. “I’ve uncovered a shocking secret.”

Carrie frowned. Camille rarely used her full name, and her tone was uncharacteristically grave.

“What secret?” she asked, a twinge of unease creeping into her chest.noveldrama

Camille’s reply came slowly, each word striking like a blow. “Kristopher’s sister’s heart was never donated to Lise. Lise has nothing to do with the Norris family. She hasn’t even had a heart transplant.”

“What?” The phone slipped from Carrie’s hand. A glass of juice on the side table tumbled to the floor, shattering on impact.

Lise had no connection to the Norris family? The very foundation of Kristopher’s unwavering devotion—it was all a lie?

The revelation felt like a hammer shattering the fragile understanding she’d pieced together after her divorce.

Carrie had spent weeks grappling with the Norris family’s obsession with Lise, trying to rationalize their actions, even if she couldn’t accept them. Their devotion to preserving the memory of Kristopher’s sister had been the only explanation for their behavior. It was why she’d chosen divorce over revenge. But now, even that flimsy justification had crumbled.

Her voice shook as she forced herself to ask, “Does Kristopher know?”

Camille paused, then replied thoughtfully, “Probably not. I saw Albin earlier and followed him. It looks like he just found out too. I think Kristopher sensed something was off and asked Albin to investigate.”

A flicker of relief tempered Carrie’s anger. At least Kristopher hadn’t fabricated this entire story just to protect Lise.

If he had, she thought darkly, she wouldn’t have hesitated to drag him to the afterlife to join Gracie and her unborn baby.

Camille sighed, her voice carrying a trace of weariness. “I didn’t dare get too close, so I couldn’t hear the full conversation. But I caught enough. The doctor in the archive confirmed the results.”

Carrie’s tone was indifferent, her expression unreadable. “The process doesn’t matter. I’m not interested in the details of her affairs. Now that the Norris family knows the truth, they won’t protect her anymore. And with all the evidence we’ve gathered, I believe it’s only a matter of time before she’s brought to justice.”

Camille hesitated, then said cautiously, “Lise may have nothing to do with the Norris family now, and Kristopher’s mother may not interfere anymore, but… what about Kristopher? They’ve been together for so many years. Even the coldest heart would soften over time. And don’t forget, Lise was once his girlfriend.”

Carrie’s expression remained calm, though her voice carried an edge. “Whatever feelings Kristopher has for her is his concern, not mine. It won’t change my decisions.”

Choosing not to dwell on Kristopher’s and Lise’s matters, Carrie changed the subject. “Why did you decide to follow Albin, anyway?”
