Game Over, Mr. CEO: Your Wife Is Done (Winter and Chris) novel Chapter 359

Chapter 359

Skyla’s face went suddenly pale under the glare of the floodlights.

Her black bucket hat fell to the ground. The cold wind lifted her long, straight hair, sending it whipping around her face like dark claws.

Panic flashed through her deep amber eyes. She reached for the mask on the ground, but Gavin stepped on it with his black hiking boot. He looked down at her as she knelt there in the dirt, battered and exposed.

He didn’t say a word.

But the message was clear.

There was no point hiding anymore.

“How did you know?” Skyla’s teeth chattered. If Gavin knew, that meant Chris knew too.

“Chris, he…”

Gavin’s face remained expressionless. “Mr. Xander was the one who told me to wait for you here. What do you think?”

Skyla braced both hands against the ground. Her pale fingers dug into the soil. It had rained in Liono City earlier that day, and the ground out here in the suburbs was soaked. Mud smeared beneath her neatly trimmed nails.

She stared blankly as Gavin’s words sank in. Her ears rang, and her mind went completely white.

A chill wrapped around her entire body.

“What did you say?” Her voice went from dazed to disbelieving, then rose into a hysterical demand. “How could he know? He wouldn’t know. He couldn’t know!”

Gavin lifted a hand, signaling for the bodyguards to bring the car over.

His tone stayed flat. “Mr. Xander ordered me to collect surveillance footage from every angle of the farmers’ market. That was when we realized the woman who killed Mrs. Young and the woman who stabbed William that day were not the same person.”

Skyla’s eyes widened, sharp and wild. Her nails dug harder into the mud.

“Impossible!”

Gavin took a pair of handcuffs from the pocket of his tactical jacket.

He paused, then added, “Unless your legs were never disabled in the first place.

“At first, I wondered how you managed to leave Westbury without anyone noticing. Then Mr. Xander and I remembered that the Scott family home has a hidden passage leading outside.”

Gavin glanced toward the old bridge opening she had crawled out of moments earlier.

The Scott house had a secret passage to the outside. They had known about it for five years.

After Warren went bankrupt, the house had been seized by the bank and sealed off, but it was never sold.

When Chris was seventeen, he had used his maternal grandfather’s connections to buy it back.

But he had never touched the place.

Five years ago, after Chris took Winter to the island, he ordered Gavin to clean up Westbury. That was when Gavin accidentally discovered the hidden passage.
