“I never expected that Dr. Gilbert’s flashy lifestyle was all because he took Ms. Edwards‘ parents‘ inheritance”
“You’d never guess that, would you! He always seemed so low–key. That car was bought five years ago.”

A few doctors gathered in gossip. No one was clueless Austin’s fear about the will was all on clear
Austin felt embarrassed, glaring at Hayden with anger, wanting to take action, but his logit held him back. With so many colleagues and media reporters present, he didn’t want to make a vreme.
“Courtary, come back with me,” Austin said, holding back his emotions as he looked at Courtney
Courtney hid behind Hayden, refusing to respond to Austin.
“Courtney, we’re not divorced yet.” Austin warmed in a serious tone.
Courtney paised for a moment and slowly let go of Hayden’s hand
Indeed, they weren’t divorced yet. Austin was bringing up her wrongdoings during the marriage, and she couldn’t allow him to find any more evidence against her.
“Not being divorced doesn’t mean you can’t live apart. What, is your marriage certificate a get–out–of–jail–free card? Hayden raised his hand to shield Courtney and said. “With all this free time, I’d suggest you find a good lawyer to help your mistress, Vera”
Viera, that spoiled brat, would probably lose her mind if she had to face a sentence.
Austin was worried about Vera and became quiet.
“Austin, come here” Marilyn called out to Austin, guiding James into the office.
Clearly, there was something the family needed to discuss:
Mr. Anderson would never commit suicide, Courtney said nervously, looking at Hayden.
Hayden nodded: Trust the police.”
Courtney ut on the steps, her eyes red.
Lorraine accompanied Jeffrey to the police station, and everyone on the scene gradually dispersed.
Courney remained seated, trembling
Hayden stayed by her side, keeping her company.
“Mr. Anderson must have seen something that he shouldn’t have seen.” Courtney signed for Hayden. “He said he would get justice for me, and then he was killed. It was all because of me!
Courtney always blamed herself for everything bad that happened.
It was the same for Mark, and so it was for Rober!.
She frit that everyone died because of her.
“Courtney, instead of blaming yourself, why not become stronger? Your spirit is too fragile and can be easily shattered. You came back from the abyss, you returned from the dust, and you should be unbreakable.” Hayden wanted Courtney to be strong, but he also wanted to protect her tenderness.
In South Weidan, you were wise and clear–headed enough to take down Lucas Why are you now stuck in self–pity?” Hayden asked, looking at Courtney
Country pained for a moment, her eyes turning even redder at the edges.
Hayden’s words made her feel guilty and ashamed.
Robert was dead. Her parents were gone, leaving her all alone with no way out.
These
people cornered her into a desperate situation.
“Courtney, my son saved your life. Of course, he would want you to live well and not squander his sacrifice” Kamora, crying and barely able to stand, still held onto Mark’s photo, determined to continue

Hayden realized this too and felt helpless, although it left him somewhat disappointed.
“Okay Hayden wanted to hug Courtney, but she avoided him
In James‘ office, Carl and his team investigated numerous details, taking what they needed as evidence.
Zaid had hidden for now. James advised him to stay hidden and flee if possible.
“Dad, what’s going on! How did Robert end up jumping off a building?” Austin asked James nervously.
James chuckled. “He was hot–tempered. I just said some unpleasant things, and he got so worked up that he jumped. It’s quite a shame”
Austin, half believing, looked at Vera. “Is it really like that?”
“What are you suspicious about? That we’d be insane enough to commit murder?” Marilyn frowned at Austin
Austin looked down. “That’s not what I meant.
“As long as you didn’t mean it that way, Austin. We’ve known each other for years, and because you were married to Vera, you should understand we’re only concerned about what’s in our interest. How could we do anything illegal? Marilyn smiled and patted Austin on the shoulder. “Right now, we should be most worried about Vera”
“I heard from Cedric in the detective unit that Vera is having a tough time emotionally. She’s not eating. She kept crying, having outbursts, and even trying to harm herself. She’s never gone through real hardships before. If she’s actually sentenced, I’m worried she won’t be able to endure it,” James sighed deeply and said. “Austin, you know how Vera can be spoiled and headstrong, but you also know better than anyone how she’s been with you. Remember, it was she who went out of her way to save you and who constantly recommended you to me. Without Vera, you wouldn’t have reached where you are today”
Austin clenched his fists tightly.
“Right now, you re i
re the only one who can save Vera Courtney is still your legal wife after all. Whatever you do to her falls under the protection of marriage laws, got it?” James clearly implied that even if Austin used forceful means or even struck Courtney, it would just be labeled as domestic violence….
“I have a way to get Courtney to forgive.” Marilyn looked at Austin. “But it all depends on whether you’re willing to go through with it”
