“Mi Courtney Phands, some people say you were tesponsible for the death of your colleague in South Weidlan How do you explain this?” Reporters rushed up to Courtney.
Hividen frowned, protecting Cosrney behind him ““Interviewing someone who can’t speak. You are really something”
The reporters, intimidated by Hayden, med to intervies Kamera instead.
Marilyn was indeed a
a umari woman. She knew how to divert attention.
Shifting the public’s focus from the hospital to Courtney.
This way, the auborities –
uldn’t intervene.
The Lewis family could worry less and spend less on suppressing the negative coverage.
“Ma’am, did your son die because of Courtney!”
Facing the reporter’s questioning, Kamora chutched the photo frame tightly.
She looked at Courtney and spoke with determination. “No!”
as soon as Kamora denied it, she couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.
Courtney’s whole body tensed up. And as soon
Facing the reporters‘ cameras, Kamora shook her head, looking angrily at Marilyn. “My son was a hero. He sacrificed himself to save a colleague The ones to blame for his death are those militants, and the hospital that irresponsibly sent the medical team without assessing the dangers. They failed to organize proper coordination with the peacekeeping troops for escort leaving them to take risks alone.”
They had agreed with the peacekeeping troops to meet on the 17th, but Robert’s medical team was told they were to arrive on the 16th. The hospital sent them early without informing the peacekeeping escort waiting on the other side.
Kamora’s words were powerful and unwavering as she spoke to the reporters. “Robert was my son’s mentor. He wouldn’t have ended his own life. and my son’s death was definitely not just an accident. Someone wants to mislead the public, trying to shift the blame onto a poor girl who is also a victim and has lost her ability to speak because of the chans
Bryson stood firmly by his wife’s side.
Both of them were well–educated individuals and university professors.
Mark was
( was their only suri.
After they heard about Mark’s death, their world collapsed. During their early retirement, they lived every day with just one aim. That was to seek justice for their son.
Courtney looked tearfully at Mark’s parents.
She owed Mark and his parents as well.
A person’s character was usually shaped by their roots. A child’s behavior and manners were a mirror of their parents. It was no surprise that people like Kamora and Bryson could raise such an outstanding child.
They had a clear sense of right and wrong and a strong moral compass.
But when one looked at Austin and his parents, it became a really stark contrast.
“What happened” Austin asked when he finally arrived and scard the news that Robert had jumped to his death.
He rushed over, a bit panicked, and instinctively looked at Jarnes.
Once he realized what was happening, he ran to Courtney’s side. “Courtney, why aren’t you resting in the hospital rooin‘ Why did you come out
Hayden’s gaze was cold as he raised a hand to block Austin. “Stay away from her.”
Austin felt a bit irritated. “Weren’t you taken away by the police?”

Chapter 69
“Not enough evidence” Hayden snorted, staring defiantly at Austin. “But Vera wasn’t as lucky as I was. The evidence against her is too solid. She’s facing a minimum of three years…”
As long as Courtney refused to sign the letter of forgiveness, Vera was definitely going to jail.
Austin froze for a moment, clearly a bit flustered.
He looked at Courtney, speaking softly, “Courtney, what really happened with Mr. Anderson?”
Courtney glared at Austin with anger and resentment. She thought, ‘Doesn’t he know what had happened”
y told Austin in sign language
“Why ask me? Go ask James instead, Courtney
Hayden deliberately acted as Courtney’s translator. “She said you’d better ask James instead of her, you jerk.”
Courtney used sign language to express, “Mr. Anderson would never take his life. The police will uncover everything, and when they do, the people from the Lewis family will face the consequences they deserve.
Hayden explained, “Robert would never commit suicide. The police will uncover the truth. And when they do, you and the Lewis family can go to hell together”
Hayden glanced at Courtney and suddenly remembered something. “Oh right, Courtney also said her parents wrote their will years ago and had it notarized. So, after they passed, all their assets belonged to Courtney. Everything she has is hers alone. You’d better give it back, or prepare for a lawsuit”
Courtney froze, looking at Hayden in shock. She thought, ‘When did she say anything about a will?
Her parents passed away so suddenly, they left no will
behind.

Besides, the whole house was burned down, and there was no sign of a
“A will?” Austin was clearly flustered, nervously looking at Courtney and grabbing her wrist firmly, “Courtney, did your parents leave a will! Where is it! I’ve looked everywhere. There can’t be a will at home”
He lost control so much that he temporarily forgot to keep up his facade.
Courtney frowned at Austin, feeling disgusted by the way he was acting now.
Hayden let out a a sarcastic laugh.
He did it on purpose, deliberately pushing Austin to lose his cool in front of Courtney and everyone che. He wanted everyone to see that Austin was trying to take Courney’s family inheritance for himself
Seeing the gossiping colleagues around him, Austin instinctively let go. feeling panicked.
“Courtney, that’s not what I meant, Austin quickly explained.
Then what do you mean? Hayden sneered
Austin glared at Hayden. “Did you set me up on purpose?”
Hayden spoke coldly. “I was saying one thing, Why are you so worked up? If you don’t want people to think you’re a greedy guy taking everything for yourself, then return all of Courtney’s belongings to her.”
