Chapter 130
Austin looked at Hayden mockingly, saying, “You’re just a broke drifter, no different from a beggar. I know exactly what you’re thinking.
“row knew from the start that Courtney’s parents would give her a large compensation for the relocation and that she’s a locall from Henisburg, so you deliberately got close to her back in South Weidan, didn’t you?”
Austin hated Hayden, believing it was all part of Hayden’s scheme. He thought Hayden intentionally set everything up to take Courtney away from him and even change her mind.
“Courtney, you’re too naive, you’ve been fooled by him, Austin said anxiously, who did not know how to make Courtney trust him.
“That’s the kind of person you are, so you think everyone else must be like that too, don’t you?” Hayden retorted, who remained calm this time, looking at Austin with a sarcastic grin.
You are so worried about the money Courtney’s parents left behind, so you’re afraid she’ll spend it all on me and hand it over to me. It turns out that what you care about is exactly what you’re afraid of.” Haydon pointed out..
was caught off guard for a moment after hearing this, and then he frowned as he looked at Hayden. “Stop making excuses. You know exactly really going on in y
your mind,” he replied.
Courtney signed when looking at Austin. “I’ve already told you that we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Hayden is my husband now, and my inheritance will eventually go to him. He’s the lawful heir to my estate,” she said.
with that, Courtney pushed Hayden away.
ustin still wanted to stop them. “If you keep bothering us, I will call the police,” Courtney warned him.
“Courtney, you’ll regret this, you definitely will” Austin shouted, standing there at a loss. He thought Courtney was just too naive and would end up losing everything to Hayden’s schemes.
“Dr. Gilbert, is there any problem?” a man asked, who came up to Austin just as Courtney and Hayden left.
Austin clenched his hands, holding back his anger, and his mood was tense. “It’s nothing,” he replied.
“Dr. Gilbert, I’m sorry, I think I overheard something,” said the man who sold medical equipment and frequently interacted with the hospital, especially with young chief doctors like Austin.
The mun
very skilled at figuring out what others like. Over the years, he had given quite a few kickbacks to Austin
Austin frowned as he looked at the man. “Yerik, this matter doesn’t concern you. Be mindful of what you should and shouldn’t say. Just be careful” he
“Absolutely, you know my lips are sealed tighter than a doomail,” York chuckled, glancing in the direction Courtney had left. “Dr. Gilbert, that was your
w-wife, right? Your situation with Vera made quite a stir. Everyone in the circle knows,” he spoke again.
Hearing this, Austin was a bit displeased.
Verk continued, “Don’t get mad, I have a solution. Your ex–wife is clearly too naive, lacking street smarts, and she hasn’t experienced life’s harsh realities She doesn’t understand that marriage needs more than just love.
“it requires practical resources and stability. When she and her current husband run out of everything, she’ll naturally remember your good qualities. At that time, whether you want to win her back or let her face the consequences…”

Chapter 130
Listening to this, Austin shot a warning look at Yerik.
However, Yerik didn’t stop saying. “Is that guy a thug? People like that easily pick up bad habits. I know quite a few of them in Henisburg. Even if they’re just petty criminals, if you want to bring someone down, it’s possible.
“First, build them up, get close, and then let them fall into some bad habits like gambling, drugs, whatever, and they’re definitely done for.
“That’s a money pit, so your ex–wife’s money won’t last long. Even if she’s careful with it, that guy will show his true colors for cash, and then you can step in and be a hero, Yerk offered Austin some advice.
“Are your friends reliable?” Austin asked, frowning at Yerik.
Yerik patted his chest confidently. “Definitely reliable. You can trust me, since we’ve been partners for a long time,” he promised.
“Then show me you’re sincere, Austin replied, adjusting his suit before turning to leave.
Yerik narrowed his eyes as he watched Austin walk away. He sneered in mind, “What a jerk, act all full of himself
However, Yerik knew that if he could do this favor for Austin, he’d have leverage over him and wouldn’t have to worry about sales anymore.
When they returned home, Courtney held out her hand to Hayden. “Give me the marriage certificate, I’ll keep it safe,” she instructed.
However, Hayden looked at Courtney warily, clutching the marriage certificate tightly. “No way, I haven’t even gotten used to being married yet. What if you change your mind?” he insisted.
Courtney couldn’t argue with him, so she jokingly tapped him. “How about we have mashed potato for lunch?” she asked.
“Sounds good,” Hayden nodded.
He was easy to please, never complaining about simple meals.
During their five years living together in South Weidan, Courtney found that aside from being a bit of a show–off and teasing on her sometimes, Hayden had no other bad habits.
The only bad habit was his tendency to hold her in his arms after she fell asleep.
“Oh, right, you should sign the inheritance certificate, Courtney said, who had already organized her assets for Hayden to sign.
Hearing this, Hayden was silent for a long time, showing no intention of signing.
“Did Austin’s words bother you?” Courtney asked, who could tell that Hayden was a
was affected.
“Do you also think I’m just like him, only after your money?” Hayden added, looking at Courtney.
“You wouldn’t,” Courtney replied, shaking her head.
Just after Hayden heard this, his gloomy expression brightened instantly, raising an eyebrow with a smug look and a smile in his eyes. “Of course not,” he
said.
Courtney couldn’t help but be amused by him. “Sign it,” she said.
“Are you really planning to give it to me? To use however I want?” Hayden asked, who restrained his smile and looked at Courtney seriously.

Courtney nodded and was unsure of what Hayden was planning.
“Then let’s donate all this money,” Hayden said, looking at Courtney
