Mr. CEO's Ex-Wife: A Cunning Comeback-Chapter 58 - : It Was Her!

Daniel's eyes burned with fury.

Ashton didn't wait any longer. He grabbed Kate immediately.

"You should go, Ms. Kate," he said, covering her mouth before dragging her out by the collar.

The room fell silent.

Daniel picked Kane up and carried him upstairs.

Guilt filled his heart. Even with the child in his arms, he couldn't calm down.

****

Outside the Wilson residence...

Kate was thrown out carelessly, her arms covered in bruises. She looked like a complete mess.

She sat on the ground, trembling, unable to move.

How did it come to this?

Tonight was supposed to be perfect. But now, everything was ruined because of that brat!

Why didn't he die on that mountain?! 

Hatred burned inside her.

She cried for a while before forcing herself to stand and walk away.

Not far from the gates, a car hid under a stealth cloak.

Inside the car, someone had been recording the entire scene.

Chantelle stretched her arms, took a few screenshots, and hit the save button.

She had worried that Kate might ruin Kane's plan when she left home that night.

That was why she drove to the neighborhood and hacked into the Wilson household's surveillance system. She needed to keep an eye on him.

If he were ever in danger, she was ready to step in.

But her concerns were unnecessary. She had watched everything unfold and fully approved of her brat's methods.

My little demon has improved his acting skills!

Where did he even get that talent?

Chantelle's heart dropped. She was ready to leave.

But just as she reached for the ignition, the front gates swung open.

For a moment, she thought someone had hacked her high-tech cloak!

Instead, she saw Kate being tossed out like a stray dog.

That's when she got an idea—why not film a little mockumentary for Kate?

Once Kate was gone, Chantelle started the car and drove toward a nearby driveway.

When she approached Kate, she slowed down and deactivated the stealth cloak.

Hearing a car behind her, Kate's heart leaped with hope. She immediately thought Daniel had changed his mind.

Excited, she turned around only to see a car speeding toward her.

Panicked, she scrambled off the road and tripped, falling straight into the gutter.

With a loud splash, Kate landed in a puddle of foul-smelling water.

For a moment, she thought she was drowning and thrashed desperately—only to realize the water was shallow.

Unfortunately, it was filthy sewage water. Black mud stuck to her, and the stench was so unbearable she nearly threw up.

"You asshole! Are you blind?!" she shouted in rage.

But the road was silent. The car was gone.

A shiver ran down her spine as she glanced around the dark, eerie ditch.

Didn't a car just pass by? 

No matter how fast it was, it couldn't have vanished without a trace.

This was a long, open road... The more she thought about it, the more fear crept in.

She didn't bother retrieving her shoes. The moment she climbed back onto dry land, she bolted.

Chantelle had only meant to give Kate a scare. She hadn't expected her to be so quick—jumping straight into the ditch.

Human potential truly had no limits! No one would've guessed she could move like that unless she had no choice.

Chantelle felt much better after seeing the miserable Kate in her rearview mirror.

Lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a loud clap of thunder. The heavy rain had arrived.

She pressed the gas pedal and disappeared into the night.

After comforting Kane, Daniel didn't go to bed. Instead, he headed to the study.

Ashton was already there, waiting.

"Sir, this is the surveillance footage from outside. Would you like to see it?"

"No need." Daniel had no interest in anything related to Kate.

"But, sir... something strange happened outside just now."

Ashton hesitated, unsure how to put it into words. It was too bizarre.

Without another word, he played the footage and skipped to the moment Kate was nearly hit by a speeding car.

Daniel's eyes darkened. His sharp features turned cold.

Someone had been lurking outside, waiting for Kate? 

No... it wasn't an attempt to kill her. It looked more like a taunt. 

"What's going on with that car? Did you find anything?"

"We're not sure how it stayed invisible. Our surveillance only caught this much. There's no license plate."

"Could they be Ms. Kate's enemy? Should I look into it?" Ashton asked cautiously.

The car had been lurking near the residence for an unknown amount of time, doing nothing.

It only revealed itself when Kate was thrown out.

Calling it a coincidence seemed unlikely.

That's why Ashton assumed they were after Kate.

"No need. They don't seem to mean us any harm," Daniel said flatly.

Ashton looked like he had more to say, but Daniel waved him off.

Now alone in the study, Daniel pulled up the footage again.

This time, he slowed it down.

When the back of the car appeared, he immediately paused the video.

Zooming in, he examined the image carefully.

Sure enough, there was a lightning-shaped scratch on the right side of the rear.

The scratches weren't deep, but they were exactly where he remembered them.

It was Chantelle Bently's car.

He recalled seeing it parked at the entrance when he visited Western Hill Villa last night.

When Ashton mentioned Kate's possible enemy, Chantelle's name came to his mind.

It was her!

It was late, but why was Chantelle still outside the Wilson residence? 

Chantelle and Kate...

As Daniel thought about them, a memory rushed back into his mind, making him break into a cold sweat.

"It's her! She was the one who caused Grandpa's death! It wasn't me, it was Kate!"

Chantelle's hysterical voice echoed in his memory from that stormy night.

Had she been accusing Kate back then?

Daniel dismissed Chantelle as noisy and full of lies, so he didn't want to listen to her.

But as he thought about it, panic started to rise in his chest.

What if he had been wrong back then? 

What should he do now?
