Zaid grunted, frowning as he cassiously eyed the newcomer.
He looked a bit disheveled, with stubble on his chin, wearing the same clothes from when the pebre took him away. Dark circles stood out under
He raised his arm, pulling Courtney into his embrace, and coldly stared at Zaid
Zaid squinted, and pulled back his elbow, his unstincts telling him ibis man was dangeronis.
The grip strength was incredible, making Zaid’s elbow hurt to the point of numbness as if his bros were being rushed by sheer finger force
Zaid way once a mercenary in the South Weisan, “adopted” by Janses to work as a security guard at the hospital,
The lethal aura Zasd exuded was cultivated through years of surviving in slaughter and hell. Over the years, he had done a lot for James, all handled very cleanly
In this peaceful country, he had never feared anyone, but Hayden made his heart tremble
Zand squinted watching Hayden
He knew very well that Hayden was likely
likely the person Lucas was looking for
He was also someone in South Weidan who had blood on his hands.
“Touch my girl, and you’ll be dead,” Hayden said in a low, threatening voice to Zaid
It she murderous intent
Anyone else might think Hayden was bluffing, but Zaid truly felt
Courtney turned to look at Hayden, her eyes welling up with tears as she frantically gestured “Mr. Anderson could never have committed suicide”
Hayden nodded, gently patting Courtney on the hack. “Don’t be scared. I’m here.”
Hayden looked at Carl “Check the surveillance. Robert could not have committed suicide.
A person in the late stages of cancer had no reason to take their own life
“Mr. Lewis, have your man cooperate. We need to check the surveillance footage, Carl said as he approached his colleagues.
Zaid glanced at James and shook his head. “Sorry, the cameras broke last night”
James suddenly realized. “Oh, right, the whole building lost power yesterday. What a coincidence”
A death occurred, and the cameras suddenly
ly malfunctioned. There shouldn’t be such coincidences like this.
Carl frowned and looked at his colleagues. “Co check the cameras, get the tech team on it, and you guys follow me upstairs.”
James was overly conndent as he sat calmly in his wheelchair. Because he knew that even if the murder was traced, it wouldn’t lead back to him
Zaid would take the fall for everything
Zaid’s hide was saved by James, so Zaid would die for him.
Courtney finally understood that Robert’s death was definitely connected to James. But no matter how hard she tried to gather evidence, nothing ever pointed back to him.

She dropped her hands in despair, turned back in a daze, and stared at
Her vision went dark as Courtney clung tightly to Hayden’s arm like he was a lifeline in the rushing floodwater

Chapter 68
Courtney y was trembling all ever, her tears soaking Hayden’s fingers.
She really wanted to ask, why things ended up like this.
She thought. How could it be?
Jeffrey was still crying, and when he was too exhausted in cry anymore, he remained kneeling on the ground
Their family had fallen apart too
Robert and Jeffrey both went to South Weidan and disappeared at the same time. For the past five years, Jeffrey’s mother cried until she almost went blind, and now Robert was gone too.
him
Robert was a pitiable person. Even though he betrayed Courtney for his job and reality, she didn’t blame hir
Robert was Robert’s son.
“Oh, my son.” Mark’s parents rushed to the scene as soon as they heard the news.
“Please look down from the heavens and see your teacher and classmates.” Kamora knelt on the ground, holding his portrait, and broke down in
tears.
Courtney couldn’t hold on any longer. She turned around and clutched Hayden’s clothes tightly.
Tm dirty. Hayden said, surprised and a little anxious as he noticed Courtney trying to hide in his arms,
Courtney continued to grip his clothes tightly, crying silently.
“What’s s the point of crying here! Haven’t you figured out how Mark died It was Courtney’s fault Mark died. Didn’t anyone tell you?” Marilyn said.
The police had finished at the scene, and Marilyn walked over.
She exuded confidence, striding in heels worth thousands with a handbag that cost even more
She mocked the grieving parents, coldly watching as Courtney seemed to tremble down to her soul.
She was like a triumphant demon, laughing at the helplessness of ordinary people.
I heard Mark died saving Courtney. Instead of holding her accountable, you’re here wailing repeatedly. What good does it do? Your son’s spirit won’t rest easy this way” Marilyn’s gaze settled on Courtney.
Courtney was paralyzed, her hands shaking
She felt guilty, ashamed, and terrified that Mark’s parents would truly blame her.
Kamora stopped crying and looked at Courtney.
“If you don’t believe me, just ask Jeffrey, Marilyn said as she looked at Jeffrey. “He personally told us that Courtney is the one responsible for Mark’s death.
Courtney looked at Mark’s parents in panic, shaking her head as tears fell
But she couldn’t explain.
Mark really did die because of her.
