The Sleeper's Wrath and His Wife's Strike novel Chapter 26

If the goal was simply to ruin Yves, then this would be far too blatant.

But if the entire fertility clinic were to go up in flames, well, that would simply be an accident.

Lester nodded in agreement, a cold glint flickering in his eyes. “I’ll have my assistant handle it. Since Yves is a vegetable now, having a child would only bring suffering to them both. In a way, I’m doing him a favor.”

“Exactly. Let’s call it an act of mercy,” Althea said with a sweet smile. “Single-parent families never turn out well, after all.”

Lester nodded and turned to head upstairs.

Lester’s brow furrowed in irritation. “Mom, I’m not interested in Ms. Green. Please stop arranging these meetings in my name.”

Ms. Green was spoiled, entitled, always looking down on everyone—who could possibly be attracted to a woman like that?

Not like Naomi—gentle, considerate, every word soft and kind.

Althea’s expression soured. “Lester, do you even realize who Ms. Green is? Marrying her would do wonders for your career.”

The Green family wasn’t just wealthy—they had political connections, too. Ms. Green’s older brother was a high-ranking official in Skyrim.

The Greens had it all—money and power. In Skyrim, that made them practically untouchable.
