His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 489

Maybe… this entire new mining bid was a trap from the start—

A trap Niamh Rivers had carefully set for Marina Thornton.

Jonathan Thomas had come to that conclusion long ago, yet he’d kept it to himself.

And now—

That possibility had become reality.

Jonathan squeezed his eyes shut, his features contorted in pain.

But it wasn’t the agony of his chronic stomach trouble.

It was the guilt—the sickening sense that he’d become Niamh’s pawn in bringing Marina down.

And yet, in Niamh’s eyes, he’d always been Marina’s accomplice.

Curled up with stomach pain, sweat slid down the bridge of his nose, but the ache in his chest was worse.

The woman who used to make him soup from scratch, who once carried him down eight flights of stairs when his pain was unbearable—

She was gone.

She wasn’t coming back, and she wouldn’t care for him again.

For a wild moment, Jonathan wished the pain would just finish him off.

After leaving the Thomas Group, Niamh drove to Coralis.

She didn’t want to go, but if she wanted to bring Marina down, she needed help from two people she’d hoped never to see again—contacts arranged through Carlisle.

Hayes Quinn and Carlotta were waiting for her at a restaurant.

When Niamh walked in, safe and unharmed, Carlotta’s eyes filled with tears of relief.

Back when Niamh had gone missing and later landed in the hospital, Hayes and Carlotta had rushed to her side in their hearts. But Niamh, through Carlisle, had made it clear—she didn’t want to see them.

For the sake of her recovery, Hayes and Carlotta had kept their distance, relying on Carlisle for updates.

So when they heard Niamh needed their help, both were overjoyed.

Their biggest fear had always been that Niamh would cut them out of her life for good.

If she could have avoided it, Niamh wouldn’t have come to Hayes or Carlotta for anything. But to lure Marina in, she needed the credibility and influence of Coralis’ city government.
