Love’s Second Act by Alvis Midden

Chapter 17 

Just as Calvin’s anger was about to erupt, a knock echoed at the door. It was the butler. “Mr. Jeffords, Mr. Lozano is here.” 

“Let him wait in the study 

Natalie’s face grew even colder upon hearing that Salvatore had arrived. 

Salvatore Lazano was Calvin’s best friend and owned a detective agency. As long as there was money, there was nothing he could not uncover 

Countless noblewoman had sought him out to find evidence of their husband’s infidelity, 

She knew all too well that today, the information Salvatore brought with him would push Calvin’s feelings for her to a dead end 

Calvin looked at her and said each word clearly. “I won’t spare you if you ever dare to mention divorce again!” 

Leaving those words behind, he turned and headed out. 

Natalie watched his tall figure and closed her eyes. The moment he stepped out of the door, she could not contain herself any longer and said, “Wait” 

“What else do you want to say?” 

“How much trust do you have left for me? To Natalie herself, it seemed like a foolish question. 

at this moment, she asked it anyway. 

However, at 

Even though she had experienced such a miserable conclusion in her past life, when the same things happened, she would still be scared. 

At this moment, she was scared, helpless, and afraid that her relationship with Calvin would be irreparably damaged, just like it had been in her past life. 

Thinking about how Calvin’s trust in her was about to hit rock bottom, she could not help but feel helpless 

Calvin turned back to look at her. At that moment when their eyes anet, Natalie watched him intently scrutinizing his gaze hoping to etch the last trace of determination in his eyes deep into her memory:

Initially, she believed that she could manage to put Natalie in prison 

Little did she expert that Natalie’s friend had such powerful connections. Natalie got out the next day while she had spent several days inside the police station. Even her mother, who had once doted on her, had been too 

public outcry against the Jeffords family to pay her any attention 

Calvin’s thoughts were entirely focused on Yvette’s legs and eyes. 

Cecilia had gone to great lengths to extricate herself from the matter and nearly jeopardized their entir 

Lying on the hospital bed, Yvette, in contrast to her previously dignified demeanor, asked in a somewhat sombe you taken care of everything that needed handling?” 

th the 

“Yes, don’t worry. Everything has been taken care of. I believe Calvin has seen what he needed to see. Cecilia replied confidently. 

Yvette breathed a sigh of relief in the hospital bed. 

These days. Cecilia had been undergoing interrogations while Yvette could only cling to Calvin, fearing that he might discover things he was not supposed to know. 

He was too astute, and any sl*p-up would arouse his suspicions. Fortunately, they had managed to navigate through without major hiccups. 

Cecilia glanced at the woman on the bed and asked, “You haven’t revealed anything, have you?” 

“No, I’ve taken care of everything on the hospital’s end long ago 

“Well, that’s good. Once Calvin and that woman get divorced, your mission will be completed. After that, leave the country and never come back.” 

A hint of satisfaction and determination to succeed flickered in Cecilia’s eyes. 

However, she did not notice that Yvette’s hand clenched involuntarily as soon as she finished speaking 

She continued, “Don’t worry. Til keep my promise. I won’t shortchange you. Even if you go abroad, you’ll never have to worry about your livelihood again.” 

When Calvin returned to the piano room of Autumnhall Residence, Natalie still stood there. Her long hair rustled in the wind, giving her a somewhat fragile appearance. 

Calvin looked at her. His eyes were devoid of any warmth; only coldness remained. 

“Natalie, he spoke in a cold tone. 

Natalie looked at him. 

Much like him, there was tin warmth in her gaze either. 

Seeing her maintaining her calni composure, Calvin took heavy studes toward bars and lovehilly hurled a thick stack of Al- sized papers at her.
