The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 70

Chapter 70:

Alicia repressed her discomfort and tried to avoid the situation. I haven't been able to put on a compress yet and it can get messy. I don't want to leave a stain on you.

Joshua hesitated and moved to make room for her. Coming from a privileged background, he found everything disordered disturbing. Not to mention that he was a hypocrite.

When Joshua left, Alicia dissembled and retired to her bedroom. She picked up the phone and called Monica.

Have you made any progress, Monica asked.

Alicia stopped to think. More or less. Joshua didn't seem suspicious.

With that in mind, she felt confident that she could proceed at a steady pace. She was determined to execute her plan perfectly.

Alicia turned around and sighed. Today I used the period as an excuse, but in a week what am I supposed to do then?

In this area, I was really inexperienced. Joshua kept her at the Yates mansion for his own enjoyment and, sooner or later, he would expect to sleep with her.

The idea repulsed him. But after her period, what excuse could she use to prevent him from touching her

Monica's voice lit up with excitement. This is my specialty. Let me guide you on what to do.

Alicia listened attentively, but soon she couldn't help but laugh. There really is such a thing. You're quite a character, Monica.

Monica laughed lightly. You know what I do, right. I didn't spend all those years in college for nothing.

Alicia snuggled into the blanket, feeling shy. Thank you, honey.

Monica caught the change in Alicia's tone. Why does your voice sound so different? You've been with someone, right. It's never been so soft.

Alicia was momentarily speechless.

Although she knew that Monica couldn't see her, she instinctively stopped. She covered her face with the blanket and asked, her voice muffled: Do I still sound soft now?

Hmm Monica's voice rose playfully. Why are you avoiding the question? I must be hitting the nail on the head, huh.

Of course not! Alice replied, feeling a pang of guilt. He quickly changed the subject. What keeps you awake at this hour?

It's still very early! You're nervous, right. Monica pressed, determined to get to the truth. Who are you with? Who is it? You even hide it from me!

Alicia shook it off. If you don't go to sleep, I will. Good evening.

Without saying anything else, he quickly hung up the phone. Staring at the ceiling, she tried to calm her thoughts and focus on her next steps.

Since she was on her period, she was in no hurry to confront Monica. She had other priorities to focus on during that time.

During their marriage, Alicia had entrusted all of her savings to Joshua. He had transferred various amounts from his account for investments and new ventures. He earned money, but almost none of it went towards household expenses. Most of it went to Lilliana.

Concerned about appearances, Joshua likely took steps to hide any evidence that he had transferred money to her. However, no matter how skillful she was, she couldn't eliminate all traces.

If she started at the bank, Alicia was sure she could uncover some transaction records.

With that in mind, Mind, she felt a renewed determination and began to investigate.

As she was not an expert on the subject, she moved forward slowly. Furthermore, he had to maintain discretion, so it took him three days to discover a clue.

The person closest to Joshua was Randolph Gray, the deputy director of the bank who was investigating. Although Randolph's position was not the most prestigious, his family had an important background and wielded considerable influence. She could help Joshua with numerous dubious transactions.

The matter she wanted to investigate probably also involved Randolph.

Alicia meticulously laid out her plan and then erased all the investigation information from her phone. After heavy rain at the end of September, the weather suddenly turned cold.

Alicia discovered the beauty salon that Randolph's wife frequented and decided to take a chance there today. As she opened the door to leave, she saw Sheila coming in with a package.

Sheila's expression froze momentarily when she saw Alicia. You can at least make some noise when you walk. Sheila replied. You're trying to give someone a heart attack.

Alicia instinctively looked at the package in Sheila's hand. Sheila's hand twitched as she tried to hide it, but after thinking about it for a second, she figured that Alicia hadn't seen much of the world, so what was there to be afraid of? She decided to let Alicia take a look.

It's drug medication. hospital. "You hadn't seen him before," Sheila said impatiently.

Alicia recognized him. After Jerald was admitted to the hospital, he began taking hard-to-find imported medication. The brand was correct. However, the logo looked slightly different from the one she remembered. It was a lighter color.

Alicia instinctively considered the possibility that these were cheap counterfeit medicines, but she couldn't be sure, so she remained silent.

I'm going out a a while, Sheila. You don't need to prepare dinner for me tonight.

Sheila looked at her suspiciously. Where are you going

I'm going to the beauty salon to get a little pampered, Alicia answered nonchalantly.

Sheila frowned. You have any idea how much a visit to the beauty salon costs.

The truth is, I have no idea, Alicia said with a smile. Why don't you ask Joshua?

He decided not to waste any more time and left.

The more Sheila thought, the angrier she became. She couldn't hold back any longer and called Joshua to vent her frustrations. Why do you spend so much money on her?

Joshua sounded irritated. Mom, I'm in a meeting. Please don't call me unless it's urgent.
