As soon as | got to the hotel's temporary office, my phone buzzed.
| was in the middle of a conversation, so | didn’t check it right away. By the t| finished, over ten minutes had
passed.
| picked up my phone and saw a message from Nathan. He sounded a bit jealous, asking: [When did you and Mr.
Holcomb get so close?]
| froze for a second. ‘Nathan's tone is really weird,’ | thought to myself. ‘Why does it sound like Nathan and | are
the couple here, and Jared's the lover?”
As a married woman, | had to stick to my principles. | couldn’t let Nathan get the wrong impression, like there
was always a chance something could happen between us.
So, | replied: [Thanks for your concern, Mr. Hallman. Our relationship is neither good nor bad at the moment.]
Nathan replied almost instantly: [I thought you were mad atand didn’t want to talk to me.]
| wasn’t really trying to ignore him; | just didn’t want to leave any evidence for Jared to blow things out of
proportion.
“Is this the secret monologue of every cheater? Afraid of getting caught, but unable to resist the temptation?‘ |
couldn't help
but think.
| replied, [It’s just a normal chat. I'm not upset.]
Nathan didn’t messageagain after that. Maybe he was busy, or maybe | was a bit too distant, and he took
the hint.

At noon, Owen showed up. As Tracy's cousin, he seemed pretty interested in me.
His squinty eyes kept glancing over me, sizingup at least a dozen times. Finally, he grinned and asked, “Mrs.
Holcomb, are you free for lunch? | know a place with sreally good grilled fish. Want to try it together?”
I nodded. “Sure, I love fish.”
Owen instantly decided | was the type who didn’t have much of a guard up. He immediately called to book a
private room.
Of course, | kept my guard up around Owen. Even though | was planning to divorce Jared, | couldn't let him get
any dirt on me; instead, | needed to collect evidence against him.
| reached into my bag and felt the voice recorder. Thank goodness | had it with me.
Owen offered to givea ride, but | turned him down. | drove myself and brought along a couple of hotel
managers.
| wasn’t sure if Owen was in cahoots with Tracy. When we got to the underground parking lot, | thought | saw a
familiar sedan. It was Jared's. Not far away was Tracy's low-key but luxurious red Porsche,
| pretended not to notice either car, chatting with the hotel managers about the renovations as we walked into
the elevator.
Owen pressed the elevator button, his squinty eyes kept sneaking peeks atto see how I'd react. When he
saw | looked completely unfazed, he let out a silent sigh of relief.
When we got to the first-floor lobby, | was still expecting Jared and Tracy to be eating in a private room.
But to my surprise, the two of them were sitting openly by the window, sipping red wine, eating grilled fish, and
chatting away. Jared was wearing a black shirt today, which made his skin look even more noble and refined.

Owen was still hoping I'd go over and make a scene, but | just turned and headed upstairs, completely unfazed.
He hurried after me, calling out, “Mrs. Holcomb, aren’t you going to say hi to your husband?”
“He’s not dead, so why bother?” | shot back, already pushing open the door to the private room he'd reserved.
Owen looked utterly lost, while the managers trailing behindwore knowing smirks, clearly ready to watch the
