Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 150

Tabitha emerged from her shower, leisurely blow-drying her hair. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening

when she picked up her phone and dialed Emmanuel’s number.

“Emmanuel, | just saw your message. Where are you?” she inquired.

“I'm outside the Universal Theater. Has the recital ended?” Emmanuel quickly responded.

Tabitha’s expression turned icy, but her tone carried a hint of sorrow. “You didn’t come, so | lost interest and only

watched Mr. Goya's performance. After that, | went straight home.”

When Emmanuel heard that, his heart skipped a beat.

Tabitha said that she had lost interest in the recital because I didn’t show

1. up.

“What does she mean by that? Could it be that she genuinely has sfeelings for me?‘ he wondered.

Emmanuel, who was normally calm and adept at controlling his emotions, was suddenly overwhelmed by an

uncontrollable surge of emotions. He piped up cautiously, “I'm sorry. It was not my intention to stand you up.”

“It’s okay. I'm not someone important to you anyway. | just finished showering and feel a bit tired. I'm going to

rest now.” Tabitha’s gaze was icy, but her voice carried a subtle trace of bitterness.

“All right. Get srest. Good night.” Emmanuel’s tone was light, exuding tenderness and a deep, but

unspoken, desire.

Tabitha replied, “Good night.”

Tabitha hung up the phone and walked to the window, gazing at the vast

night sky outside.

It had been raining for the past few days, but it finally cleared up that day. As the moon shone brightly, a glint of

coldness flashed through Tabitha’'s

eyes.

Tabitha stood there until her limbs becstiff. Then, she lay down on the bed, sighed, and gradually fell asleep.

The next day, when Naomi woke up, she saw the two housekeepers had already packed their things and were

ready to leave. Her face immediately darkened.

After the housekeepers left, Naomi sat motionless on the balcony, looking at the vibrant and beautiful flowers.

Her mood remained unsettled for a long time.

She didn’t like this house when she first moved in because she believed that once Malcolm and Tabitha divorced,

she would be able to move into the Sinclair residence in the wealthy district and becthe enviable lady of a

prominent family.

Everything was going smoothly.

If Tabitha had not persisted in her pursuit of Malcolm, Naomi’s deception would not have been exposed in front

of him, sparking an investigation.

Not only did Malcolm despise her now, but Emmanuel also wanted her to leave Xosa. Even worse, Giuseppe also

wanted her dead.

‘It’s entirely Tabitha’s fault that | ended up in this situation!‘ she exclaimed inwardly.

Naomi reasoned that since Tabitha had caused her to lose everything and endure such hardships, she should not

be blamed if she took ruthless and decisive action against her.

After ordering Saul to dismiss the housekeepers, Malcolm called Naomi and asked, “Have you figured out an

answer?”

“Giveone more day. You agreed to givethree days previously, and today is only the second day.” Naomi

pretended to panic.

Malcolm frowned, his tone devoid of any emotion. “I want to see the evidence by tomorrow morning.”

“Okay. Malcolm, even if | tell you that I lied to you because | wanted to marry you, you will never forgive me,

right?” Naomi asked cautiously.

‘Forgive?’ Malcolm thought, and his gaze suddenly turned icy.

Ever since he found out the truth, he had been constantly pondering how to make Naomi pay for endangering

his and Tabitha’s child.

“In order to frTabitha, you even hurt your own child. At that very moment, my gratitude and affection for

you had vanished.” With that said, Malcolm hung up the phone.

Listening to the monotonous beeping sound on the other end of the phone, Naomi couldn’t conceal her hatred

anymore. She immediately called Giuseppe. “Mr. Koopman, | have something urgent to discuss with you. Let's

meet at Honey Café at half past ten in the morning.”

Dressed in her prettiest skirt and with delicate makeup, Naomi left the house.

Ever since the incident where he failed to kill Tabitha, Giuseppe had refrained from making any rash moves

because two separate groups were investigating him.

Initially, he was reluctant to heed Naomi’s call, but he suddenly thought that Naomi might have concocted

another sinister plan. Perhaps he could listen in and have a good time.

He ca little later than the scheduled time, but he still waited for more than ten minutes before Naomi

arrived.

Giuseppe secretly cursed her for acting like she was back in college, where she would arrive late casually.

When he saw Naomi, he immediately began berating her, saying, “Who the hell do you think you are? You were

the one who invited me, and yet. you dare to be late? Do you have a death wish?”

Naomi calmly sat down and smiled ingratiatingly. “Mr. Koopman, don’t be angry. There was a traffic jam on the

way. It causedto be delayed for a few minutes.”

The moment Giuseppe heard her deliberately softened voice, his anger simmered down a bit. When he glanced

at her face, done up alluringly, he found her appearance quite eye-catching.

Suppressing his temper, he asked, “So, what's the matter?”

“Mr. Koopman, whatever mess we had between us was our own affair. Eight years ago, someone had already

confessed and gone to jail for that case. It was Tabitha’s continuous entanglement that forced us to flee the

country.” Naomi started.

Giuseppe remembered that eight years ago, due to Tabitha’s refusal to settle, he was nearly beaten to death by

Reuben and was bedridden for weeks. Later, Reuben spent a fortune to settle the case with Cornelius.

Subsequently, Giuseppe was sent abroad to study, and, to ensure Naomi wasn’t found out, she was sent abroad

too.

Originally, they thought it would be enough to hide for a few months. Nobody expected Tabitha to be so adamant

about the issue. Giuseppe’s tin hiding was extended because Reuben was a righteous man and refused to

deal with Tabitha illegally.

Giuseppe reasoned that if it had not been for his extended stay abroad, the

inheritance he received upon Reuben’s death would have been much larger.

Giuseppe’s eyes flashed with hatred. “What do you want?”

“Mr. Koopman, | know you have something in your possession. Even the most resolute person would succumb to

its effects. Givea bit of it, and I'll send Tabitha straight to hell for you, exacting revenge for you,” Naomi

replied.

Hearing that, Giuseppe burst into laughter, and a hint of disdain flickered across his eyes. “Enough with the

sugarcoating. You only want vengeance for yourself.”

“Anyway, only by destroying Tabitha can we have a good life. | heard she hired a powerful investigator to look

into the events eight years ago. If she discovers evidence, I'll go to jail, and you won't be able to escape either.”

Naomi narrowed her eyes, and a terrifying glint flashed across them.

Giuseppe knew that Naomi was right.

Since all Naomi did was ignore the victim, her crwas not as serious. Meanwhile, his crwas hiring

someone to commit murder. If the case was looked into, his punishment would be far harsher. Furthermore, with

Reuben no longer alive, there would be no one in the family to protect

him.

“All right, wait a moment,” Giuseppe said before making a call.

About 20 minutes later, a scrawny figure walked in. He handed Giuseppe a yellow envelope before swiftly

leaving.

Giuseppe opened the envelope and glanced inside. He then smirked wickedly at Naomi. “Listen carefully. | have

nothing to do with whatever you are about to do. If something goes wrong later and you dare to bring up my

nin the hopes of bringingdown, | will make you suffer a fate so bad that you will wish you had been sent

to prison instead.”

Tabitha was the lady of the Sinclair family, and Giuseppe had already experienced the Sinclair family’s cruelty

firsthand after being caught orchestrating the car accident. He would not have dared to do anything to harm

Tabitha if Naomi had not suggested it first.

He secretly vowed to kill Naomi if she dared to sell him out.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Koopman. It was all my idea, and my idea alone,” Naomi reassured him.

Naomi eagerly took the envelope and examined its contents. The next moment, a sinister gleam flashed in her B

eyes.

Tabitha, do you think you are pure and innocent? Tonight, Ill show you what it feels like to be in hell!’ she

exclaimed inwardly.
