Chapter 105

Chapter 105 “That man seemed utterly terrified of Benjamin Jaylen must not have told him the whole truth beforehand, which is why he fell into Benjamin’s trap so easily, Shirley speculated, her tone confident.

Shirley continued to speak as she pieced it all together. “I heard Benjamin call him Thomas, Whatever happened between Jayden and Jessica must have been Ins doing”

Nancy let out a bitter Laugh. “And Cole, that supposedly brilliant man, bought Jessica’s lies without question? There’s only one reason for that. He’s already smitten with her.”

Nancy felt a pang of sadness every time she thought about Cole’s recent behavior toward her.

It wasn’t just the incident at the hotel with Jessica that hurt her. It was the way Cole had treated her afterward He had shielded Jessica from the beginning, leaving Nancy drowning in humiliation and anger.

Shirley could see the pain etched across Nancy’s face but struggled to find the right words As Cole’s wife, Nancy undoubtedly knew his changes better than anyone.

This wasn’t a situation that could be fixed with a few comforting phrases.

Instead, Shirley stayed only briefly at the Grays Residence. Damian had woken up and was unsettled in the infamiliar surroundings, so she decided to leave early. Janine left with her, but before going, Nancy ordered the maid to move Cole’s belongings out of the master bedroom.

This was the first time the couple had slept in separate rooms in seven years of marriage.

Inside the car, Janine glanced at Shirley and asked, “Should we go to the hospital to go look for Jessica?”

Look for Jessica?

Shirley shook her head after a moment of thought. “Jessica was just admitted last night. If we visit her now, it’ll look like we’re mocking her. And if something happens, we won’t be able to explain ourselves.”

Janine frowned, unwilling to let it go “so we’re just going to let her off the book?

Shirley’s voice was steady, her reasoning sound. “Cole’s still furious about last night. If we go after Jessica now, he’ll think Hancy put us up to it. That’ll only worsen things between them. It’s better to wait and find the right opportunity to deal with her.”

Janine sighed, propping her chin on her hand in frustration “How could Cole turn out like this?”

Her voice laced with disbelief as she said, “He used to treat Nary so well. No matter what happened, he was always by her side without a second thought. Back then, I was so envious of Nancy for having such a loving husband.

“What’s so great about Jessica anyway? What does she have that Nancy doesn’t? How could Cole let a women like her come between them?“

Shirley frowned, recalling Nancy’s weary state earlier. “What worries me the most right now is that Nancy’s stuck in her own head and refusing to move on.”

Nancy’s already tied Jessica and Cole together. Unless she lets go of that resentment, their relationship won’t recover.

Maybe Cole and Jessica really don’t have anything going on now, but if Nancy keeps clinging to this, she might push him right into Jessica’s arms. But Nancy couldn’t hear any of this right now.

Hercurrent state, at its core, was because her love with Cole had been too smooth and perfect. She simply couldn’t tolerate even the slightest flaw in their relationship.

Nancy and Cole had been each other’s first love. Cole had fallen for her at first sight and pursued her passionately, eventually leading to their marriage. Over the years, Cole had cherished her, and their love had been sweet and elfortless all the way through. That was why Nancy found it so hard to accept Cole’s doings now.

After chatting with Janine for a while, Shirley glanced at the time and said, “Come with me somewhere.”

Janine seemed unenthusiastic. She asked, “Where to?

“Westrone Racetrack,” Shirley replied.

Janiner’s eyes lit up the moment she heard the place. “Are you really going to participate in the international championship?–
