My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 712

Chapter 712:

She returned to her bedroom, pacing back and forth, her mind spinning with possibilities.

Just then, her phone rang.

Carrie rushed to the nightstand and grabbed it. Daxton’s nflashed across the screen.

She answered quickly, her tone sharp with curiosity. “Daxton? What's up?”

Daxton’s voice was calm, almost soothing. “Sorry if | interrupted your writing, Carrie, but | have sgood

news. | just got word—Lise has been sent to the Orkset police department.”

“For real?” Carrie's voice rose, the disbelief clear. “What happened? Who sent her there?” Her pulse quickened,

and an eager light sparked in her eyes.

Instinctively, she had a feeling it was Kristopher.

She knew Albin had just uncovered the truth about Lise’s lack of connection to the Norris family. The timing

seemed too perfect—Kristopher must have acted immediately, handing Lise over to the authorities.

Images of Kristopher flooded her mind: the way he had been hovering around her recently, as if waiting for

something. Carrie hesitated, a whirlwind of emotions tugging at her. Had Kristopher known all along? Was this

why he had assured her justice would be served?

It had taken time—far too long—but he had finally acted.

He had personally delivered the woman responsible for Gracie and their baby’s deaths into the hands of the law.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Daxton’s voice. “I reached out to Reece; he said, and handed over all the

evidence we'd collected. With your family’s findings and mine, the police have more than enough to act. As far

as | know, Lise is facing a long list of charges: hiring a murderer, fabricating false medical records, fraud. The

most serious charge could lead to the death penalty.”

Carrie's heart sank. She had misunderstood. It wasn’t Kristopher who had acted—it was the Morrison family.

The flicker of hope she'd felt for Kristopher, the fragile possibility that he had finally redeemed himself, withered

on the spot.

Forcing a perfunctory smile, Carrie said lightly, “Thank you, Daxton, I really appreciate your help.”

Daxton’s reply cwith a warm smile she could almost hear. “No need to thank me. That's what friends are

for.” He must have sensed the subtle shift in her voice but chose to ignore it.

After exchanging a few more polite words, she ended the call.

Sitting by the window, Carrie stared blankly at the garden outside, her emotions swirling like a storm she

couldn't contain.

Kristopher had known the truth about Lise. Yet, he had done nothing.

Camille’s words echoed in her mind, relentless and heavy: “Lise may have nothing to do with the Norris family

now, and Kristopher’s mother may not interfere anymore, but... what about Kristopher? They've been together

for so many years. Even the coldest heart would soften over time. And don’t forget, Lise was once his girlfriend.”
