Courtney watched the scene, almost laughing. She remembered she had asked Austin if he wanted a daughter or a son when they first got married. He had said he wanted a daughter, and lo and behold, Vera had given him one
“Austin, take Phoebe borne. I promise I won’t hurt Courtney. I just have a nice chat with her.” Vera said with a loaded tone. However, her so–called promise was empty
Austin knew Vera would hurt Courtney, yet he used it as an excuse to rise “Courtney, Phoebe’s had a scare. I’ll take her to the hospital. You w should talk and clear up any misunderstandings
Courtney looked at Austin, any trace of despair in her eyes gone. replaced by indifference. She understood Austin was giving vera the chance to do as she pleased.
Vera had brought seven or eight men with her, and Austin, holding Phoebe with his knuckles white from the strain, left without looking back. He was out of options; he had never expected Courtney to return alive, Courtney’s return had backed him into a corner
Now Austin could only stand united with Vera and the Lewis family. He was well aware that Courtney had no one behind her, if he insisted on protecting Courtney, his and Courtney’s fate might be the same.
56, he couldn’t afford to lean towards love over the interests of the rest of his life. Closing his eyes slowly, Austin uttered in a hoarse voice, “Im sorry”
He believed he loved Courney deeply, and if Courtney had truly died in South Weldan, he could tell anyone that the woman he loved most in his life would always be Courtney without hesitation. But that was on the condition that Courtney had to die.
Before getting in the car, Phoebe looked back at Courney. “Daddy, that mean woman said she’s your wife. Is it true!” she asked Austin

“Gourney, I warned you not to tangle with me, but you just had to go after my slaughter,” Vera said with a cold edge to her voice,
The alley was dead quiet without a soul in sight. Seven or eight guys encircled Courtney, and the situation looked grimm.
“I’ll make you wish you never crossed me or came back to Henisburg. You should’ve taken me seriously,” Vera said, strutting up la Courtney and slapping her across the face.
With the odds in her favor, Vera felt bold, ready to hit Courtory again. But Courtney wasn’t going down without a fight. She grablied Vera’s wrist
and bit down with all her might.
Vera’s screams pierced the silence. She screamed for her men to pull Courney off

Vera’s surgeries were dangerous, and Courtney wanted to put an end to that. She aimed to make sure Vera could never hurt another patient with her malicious practices.
“Courtney! You just won’t back down!” Vera yelled, her anger boiling over as she told her men to beat Courtney
Courtney covered her head and vitals, taking the blows. She was no stranger to violence. No matter how bad things got, she refused to submit to Vera’s bullying.
But the harsh reality was that Courtney was alone and outmatched. Still, that didn’t stop her from fighting
“Get her out of here! Pull out her teeth, one by one! Vera ordered, her voice dripping with malice.
