The Night I Let Go novel Chapter 24

"Ethan's grandmother was nearing the end of her life, so Ethan had hurried home from overseas to see her one last time. That was why he called Wendy. He wanted Wendy to pose as his girlfriend to fulfill his grandmother's final wish."

Zachary fell silent again.

He remembered that Wendy's explanation to him back then was that something had come up at the company and that she had to make an impromptu business trip.

However, the truth was that Wendy had lied to him. She had gone out of town with Ethan to meet the latter's grandmother.

At that thought, Zachary laughed at himself.

He'd thought the five years following their marriage were wonderful. In truth, in those five years, there were lies and betrayals.

It was just that Wendy had kept them so well hidden, and Zachary had trusted her too much. That was why he had never doubted her.

Ellen dropped a bombshell. "Ethan's grandmother said she wanted grandchildren, so Wendy stayed at Ethan's family home for seven days! They spent every day together. They even slept in the same room. What do you think? Did Wendy cheat on you three years ago?"

Zachary pretended to be calm, but he was actually furious. "How do you know about all this?"

"I know because I have proof." Ellen winked.

At that point, Margaret had already served up the grilled food. Then, she carried over a case of beer.

Holding a beer opener, Ellen deftly opened two bottles of beer and handed Zachary one of them. Zachary didn't accept it.

"I can show you the proof and tell you all that I know, but you have to get drunk with me tonight."

Unconcerned, Ellen set the beer in front of Zachary and then made a few quick taps on her phone.

Zachary's phone chimed.

He checked it and saw that Ellen had sent him a photo.

Ellen gave Zachary a sympathetic look and drained her glass as well.

Right away, she filled her glass again and said, "I didn't spy on Wendy. The photo I sent you was from her social media."

Zachary said nothing as his eyes trembled slightly. Under the table, his hand unwittingly balled into a fist.

"You couldn't see it because she blocked you. Isn't that heartrending? Wait. There's more."

A meaningful smile appeared on Ellen's face. She filled Zachary's glass and continued, "You're the only person she's blocked. Do you understand what that means? Everyone knew, except for you. Unbelievable, right?

"Here, see for yourself. Scroll up. I have access to all her posts, from five years ago up until now."

She continued to fan the flames. "Over the years, her parents have even liked and commented on her posts."
