Chapter 110
Courtney didn’t say anything and just hung up.
Austin was never out of money. Being such a good planner, he had been using Courtney managing finances, and finding various ways to increase wealth over the years.
He just didn’t want to pay Courtney back.
After hanging up, Courtney let out a cold laugh
you never really know someone.
“Courtney, does my dad owe you a lot of money?” Phoebe asked quietly.
parents‘ compensation and inheritance, making investments,
Courtney looked at Phoebe and nodded. “A lot, so much that he won’t be able to pay it back in this lifetime.”
It was not just the money, but also the lives of her parents.
That evening, Austin sent screenshots of the demolition compensation details and transfer records to Courtney.
- aw. I’ll transfer the money for the old house soon. Please let me
Austin: [Courtney, the demolition money from your parent’s house is all in your account now. have a look at Phoebel]
Courtney picked up her phone and recorded Phoebe. “Phoebe, say hello to your
dad.”
Standing a bit awkwardly by the hospital bed, Phoebe quietly said, “Dad…”
Courtney only filmed Phoebe’s face, so Austin wouldn’t know they were at the hospital.
After sending it to Austin, it wasn’t long before he transferred the money for the old house as well.
“Austin, over the years you’ve made quite a bit using my parents‘ money… I’m only asking for the principal back, which is very lenient of me. Tomorrow, let’s find a time to sort out Phoebe’s custody. I can transfer custody to you, but I have one condition, Courtney said to Austin over the phone.
“What is it…” Austin asked anxiously.
“Tell me how my parents died,” Courtney asked again.
“Courtney.” Austin said, a bit tense. “Maybe your parents committed suicide.”
Courtney sneered, “You still won’t be honest, right?”
“Fine, let me put it another way. Is it connected to the Lewis family?” Courtney questioned in a cold tone. “Think carefully before you answer,”
“Yes… They do know about the demolition compensation of your parent’s house,” Austin replied vaguely, but it was enough to inform Courtney that the Lewis family was indeed linked to her parent’s death.
“Alright, are you involved?” Courtney asked again.
Austin was stunned and fell silent….
He wanted to say he wasn’t involved, but he found himself unable to speak.

Chapter 110
“Courtney I never intended to harm your parents. Marilyn and James visited your parents before the accident. I have no idea what they talked about,”
Austin explained softly
Courtney looked up, holding back her tears. “Alright, the Lewis family is driven by greed and murder…”
“Don’t count on me the forgiveness for Vera anymore. It’s already in court, and she’ll be sentenced. Get her a good lawyer to try to get her out sooner,” Courtney said softly.
“Courtney, Austin said through clenched teeth,
Courtney hung up the phone abruptly, her eyes red as she stared out the window.
She thought, ‘The Lewis family, Marilyn, and James, I won’t let you po.
Clutching her phone tightly, Courtney was trembling all over.
Indeed, she no longer had any misgivings.
Then it was time for her to fight with them to the death!
After leaving the hospital, Courtney and Austin took care of the custody transfer
Before leaving with Austin, Phoebe looked back at Courtney with reluctance.
“Courtney…” Phoebe’s voice was choked with emotion.
“Courtney, what are you planning to do next? You’re alone with so much money.. I’m worried about your safety,” Austin whispered,
Courtney was single now and had a lot of cash, which was quite risky.
Ignoring Austin, Courtney got straight into Carl’s car.
She didn’t believe Austin wouldn’t tell Marilyn where she was.
But since she was with Carl and Lorraine, Marilyn wouldn’t dare act too boldly.
“Courtney, what are you planning to do?” Lorraine asked Courtney softly in the car.
“Go back to work at the hospital, Courtney said quietly.
Lorraine looked at Courtney in shock. “You want to go back to the hospital? Isn’t that walking into a trap?”
Courtney said, “Vera’s sentencing is only a matter of time, and the Lewis family has already given up on her.”
From the news reports, it was clear the Lewis family gave up on Vera, as Marilyn was beginning to protect herself during interviews, describing Vera as spoiled and capricious.
James also stated that Vera had to bear the consequences of her mistakes and he wouldn’t show favoritism, which improved his public.image.
“Zaid has been caught, so James and Marilyn won’t dare to bother me for now,” Courtney reassured Lorraine.
Lorraine sighed and didn’t say anything.

Chapter 110
Ever since Courtney came back from the psychiatric hospital, she seemed completely changed.
She became indifferent.
It was an indifference that even five years of killing in South Weldan couldn’t instill in her.
Indeed, the battlefield wasn’t as frightening as human nature could be.
“By the way, I had a friend look into the buyer of your family’s old house. It turns out it was sold recently. The buyer wanted to keep their identity private, sd.” Carl looked at Courtney apologetically. “I’m sorry, it’s going to be really hard to buy back that old house.”
Courtney tightly clasped her hands and looked down in silence.
“Take me there. She wanted to see her home once more.
“Courtney… Lorraine seemed a bit worried.
Her parents died there, and in her current state, going there would be upsetting.
