Would
She wanted Jack to not say anything about what happened last Wednesday between her and him that If I found out our relationship would be over. (context: The husband is saying this sentence with the doubt of his wife cheating on him)
Is the sentences correct? and is the would used as a second conditional or an indirect speech of 'will'? Thanks.

She wanted Jack to not say anything about what happened last Wednesday between her and him that because if I found out our relationship would be over . I think you should replace "that" with "because". It is a remote conditional construction (your 2nd conditional), where "if I found out" is the conditional adjunct.
