The Invisible Wife Turned Savage novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46 The Fire Returns to Its Source

“…Once it’s done, I’ll increase our investment in your company.”

With that promise from Mary, the media outlet’s representative readily agreed.

That evening, Jonathan was helping Estella with dinner. Seeing that she had a bit of appetite, he peeled an orange for her.

She ate two slices, then pushed the rest away.

Jonathan didn’t insist. He ate the rest himself, then washed his hands and sat down beside her to scroll through the news.

A certain headline made his expression darken for a moment-but he quickly masked it before Estella noticed.

Estella, bored after going days without her phone, looked over.

“Mr. Jonathan, where’s my phone?”

Jonathan replied calmly, “Doctor said no screens for now-it’s not good for your recovery. If you’re bored, I can play some music for you.”

Estella knew he meant well, so she nodded. “Okay.”

He turned on some gentle instrumental music.

Then he stood. “I’m stepping out to make a call.”

She smiled faintly. “Go ahead.”

Outside the room, Jonathan’s expression turned grim as he called Jeremy.

“Jeremy, I need your help suppressing a scandal about Estella.”

Jeremy had already seen the news-rumors spread by a Monroe-owned media outlet, slandering Estella by suggesting she’d used her body to get into Symphony Band.

The band’s official accounts were flooded with hateful comments demanding her dismissal.

If it snowballed, Estella wouldn’t just lose her place in the Symphony Band-she might never work in the industry again.

“It was Mary,” Jeremy said. “I’ve already started working on it. I’ll speak to Mr. Chase directly and get a statement and legal warning out as soon as possible.”

“I’ve also got dirt on Mary,” Jonathan added. “I wasn’t going to use it… but I’ve changed my mind.”

1/3

“Oh?” Jeremy’s voice perked up. “What kind of dirt?”

“You’ll see.”

Jonathan, who had spent years immersed in Javerton’s elite legal circles, had plenty of secrets at his fingertips. He forwarded Jeremy a file.

Three minutes later, Jeremy replied with a thumbs-up emoji.

In her hospital room, Isabelle was practically glowing with glee as she read the smear articles about Estella.

Mom really came through.

Once this went viral, Estella would be ruined-Symphony Band would have no choice but to cut her, and no powerful family would accept someone with that kind of reputation.

Then she’d have the stage to herself. And Nathaniel.

She smiled as she used a burner account to like every comment bashing Estella.

But suddenly-those comments started disappearing.

She tried searching Estella’s name on Twitter… nothing.

Frowning, she quickly called her mother. They needed to push harder-buy more fake accounts, fan the flames.

But Mary wasn’t answering.

She messaged her on WhatsApp. No reply.

Panicking, Isabelle called Mary’s assistant.

But the assistant was just as confused. “I can’t reach her either.”

Isabelle’s chest tightened.

Still refusing to give up, she kept messaging Mary on WhatsApp, flooding her with urgent pleas.

Nothing.

Then, a new trending topic exploded on Twitter-this time about the Monroe family.

Isabelle’s blood ran cold.

She tapped it open… and the screen seemed to blur before her eyes.

It was a full exposé-photos, videos, all extremely clear-detailing Mary’s affair with a young man.
