His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 658

“You still haven’t answered the question I asked you last time.”

Niamh knew exactly which question Jonathan was referring to.

She had no idea why he had suddenly thought of Rina from the Juvenile Detention Center, but what did it matter if he had?

“Right now, I’m the one asking the questions… Why did you have people following and spying on me?”

Her choice of words was sharp—followed and spied on.

Jonathan’s refined features seemed to crumble. He frowned, a tightness in his chest making him feel dizzy and faint, as if his brain was starved for oxygen. “Why is it ‘spying and tracking’ when I have people watching you?” His voice was laced with a raw hoarseness. “Can’t it be that I’m trying to protect you?”

Niamh looked up. “And why would you need to protect me?”

“…” Jonathan took a deep breath. “There was a death at the Juvenile Detention Center.”

“What?”

“The head of the records department. He was shot and killed. The killer used a silencer and destroyed the surveillance footage, leaving no trace… Their motive was most likely the files stored in the system… like yours.”

Niamh was stunned. “But you don’t have to kill someone to get digital files…” As the words left her mouth, realization dawned on her. Killing wasn't necessary, which meant the perpetrator was supremely confident in their skills, viewing murder as a trivial, everyday act. Perhaps even a form of entertainment.

A chill ran down her spine. The face of the fake Jarrett materialized in her mind, merging with the identity of the mob assassin, Joker.
