shocked that Austin actually kidnapped Hayden to pressure Courtney. “They’re insane.
“Courney, you have to hold on by yourself and delay Austin as much as pooble. I’m going back to find Carl Lorraine, unable to reach Carl on the phone, and anxioudy.

and put it into Lorraine’s prekei
Lorraine nodded, took a deep breath, and opened the door to leave. She happened to bump into Austin, who was standing outside the door.
He had berri waiting there for a while. “Lorraine, are you leaving now?” Austin asked
Though nervous. Lorraine modded and casually made a threatening remark, “What are you doing here? Courtney doesn’t want to see

grim. “Don’t worry, I’m Courney’s husband. I wouldn’t bully her”
Mustin chuckled, his expression a bit grim
Lorraine snorted and walked out. As soon as she reached the staircase, Lorraine, feeling nervous, wanted to call Carl again.
But before she could dial, someone took her phone from behind, covered her mouth and nose, and she lost consciousness…
you”
“She is from the Fraley family. Make sure not a single hair is harmed. Once everything is done, send her back to the Fraley family safe and sound, David the head of the PR department, spoke in a deep voice.
“Understood, David
David frowned and glanced back towards Courtney’s home. The next step was up to Austin. The mental hospital’s vehicle had already departed.
As long as Austin made the call, the staff could come and forcibly take Courtney away. Being admitted to the mental hospital was like Courtney entering hell. She was about to experience something more terrifying than a nightmare in South Weidan.
“David Lucas men have already caught that guy named i Layden. By now, he’s probably been dealt with.”
David lit a cigarette. “Looks like there won’t be anyone to disrupt this,” No one was coming to Lave Courtney
David just thought it was a pity that someone with no family or background, who managed to escape from South Weidan, would meet her end in a …mental institution. With James’s skills, Courtney wouldn’t make it out alive.
glared at Austin and wrote on the whiteboard, [Why do you have Hayden’s phone?]
At home, Courtney glared
“He’s probably vanished” Austin tugged at his tie and leared wearily against the doorframe “Courtney, I told you to listen to me. If I cant protect you, things will get dangerous”
Courtney frowned at Austin and wrote. What do you mean!] She couldn’t believe Hayden would just vanish.
“I dont know. This phone was given to me by James’s people and they’ve already unlocked the password” Austin really didn’t know Hayden’s situation, but in James’s hands, his fate was uncertain.
Hayden was basically living off the grid, so no one would follow up on his death, just like Courney. Even if she died, no one would demand justice. for her.
“Give me his phone back Courtney desperately tried to match the phone. She didn’t know why she felt so scared. Her entire body was shaking Her eyes were burning, and she couldn’t stop the tears
Austin looked at Courtney, raising the phone high, with a complex expression “Courtney, have you fallen for him?” He didn’t want to admit that Courtney might have developed feelings for someone as terrible as Hayden.
Courney in tears, tried to grab the phone.
“The even deserving?” Austin, slightly losing his composure, trapped Courtney against the wall.
The massive impact left Courney feeling a ba dizzy.

Chapter 90
“Courtney! I’m asking you, is he deserving? Did he touch you in South Weidan! They all say you and Hayden lived like a married couple in South Weida for her years, that he was with you for live years. Answer me, Courtney!”
Austin shouted frantically, smelling strongly of alcohol. He had drinks. He was a coward, afraid that he would run away at the critical moment, so he drank to boost has confidence.
“Courtney” Do you know what I’ve been through without you all these years? You disappeared, and I felt like being abandoned. I lost control and lost my job at the hospital. I was like a pitiful loser, trampled underfool!
“And where were you? You were with that piece of trash, that useless scum. Did you ever think of me?” Austin yelled at Courtney. “What gives him the right to touch you? What right does he have
Austin lost control and started tearing at Courtney’s clothes. “You belong to me. Courtney, you’re mine.” He might really love Courtney, but his love was a bit obsessive. His love was worthless and cheap.
Courtney cried and struggled, trying hard to push Austin away
But Austin refused to let her go. “Courtney, you’re my wife,” Austin grabbed Courtney by t
the neck.
Courtney looked at Austin with anger, but her eyes also flickered with fear. She was scared of this side of Austin, With a dull thud, she grabbed a nearby vase and smashed it down onto his head.
She stood there crying, trembling as she watched Austin bleeding from his head. She didn’t know why they would end up like this.
Austin sat on the floor, blood dripping from his chin.
He suddenly laughed. It was a bitter laugh. Then he picked up his phone and made a call, “Hello, my name is Austin. My wife–She’s having a mental breakdown and acting violently. Please come and take her away”
Austin’s voice was hoarse, filled with suppressed emotion.
Courtney stood stiffly, engulfed by a huge fear. Austin was going to send her to a mental hospital Without family, Austin as her husband was indeed her only guardian now,
Terrified, Courtney wanted to nun, but her legs felt like they were made of lead. She had just reached the door when she was stopped by someone outside. Sure enough. Austin had come here on purpose to provoke her to make her behave violently
Then he would use that as an excuse to have her sent to a mental hospital
Courtney struggled, crying and trying to get away. But the doctor’s tranquilizer was already in her veins. She helplessly fell to the floor. She took one last look at Austin sitting there disheveled.
Her youth and her marriage were now completely reduced to ashes.
