CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 826

To be absolutely sure, Suzy double-checked the room.

The results remained the same.

It was too clean.

But even so, she and Dylan stayed on high alert.

No matter how indifferent Helena pretended to be, that didn’t mean it was the truth.

Her whole demeanor could still be nothing more than a carefully crafted facade.

So, when they spoke, they kept their voices low, barely above a whisper.

"Do you think Helena knew we’d come and prepared for this in advance?" Suzy murmured.

Dylan nodded slightly. "Most likely. If that’s the case, it means this room isn’t as simple as it looks."

"Exactly," Suzy agreed.

"Which means we have to be extremely careful. We can’t afford any slip-ups."

Dylan hesitated for a moment, as if there was more he wanted to say, but in the end, he stayed quiet.

But Suzy caught it. She always did.

Lowering her voice even more, she leaned in and whispered near his ear, "If you’ve got something to say, just say it."

Dylan glanced at her. "Have we really reached the point where I don’t even need to speak for you to know what I’m thinking?"

Suzy rolled her eyes. "Is that what you wanted to say? Stop wasting time and spit it out already."

Dylan sighed, then spoke even softer, "What if Helena is actually innocent?"

Suzy’s brows lifted slightly, but she let him continue.

"No matter how good someone is at pretending, there’s always a tell—some small reaction, some hint of guilt.

“But when I watched her just now, I didn’t see any hesitation or fear in her eyes."

Now, she might be the one being played in the same way, used as a tool against Helena.

Her brows furrowed slightly. "If that’s the case… who’s pulling the strings?"

Dylan’s expression darkened in thought.

"Helena seems like she doesn’t care about anything anymore. She has no power, no ambitions, no enemies—so why would anyone target her?"

"You saw my report. I had people look into her, but they didn’t find anything. She’s completely different now—living a life with zero purpose, no goals, and no drive."

Suzy swept her gaze around the house.

"Just look at this place. There are no servants and luxury. She doesn’t even care about her appearance anymore. She’s nothing like the Helena we knew before."

"Then who would even bother going after her?"

Suzy’s eyes narrowed slightly. "Maybe if we stay close to her a little longer, we’ll find out."
