He believed that his hand work, which helped him leave a small town, made hit parents and family proud. His grades were far ahead of others, making him the top student from his hometown
He was the teacher’s fixente, an exemplary student, and a recipient of scholarships and various competition prizes. Standing tall, he looked down oh everyone who want at his level. In terms of family background, Austin thought he surjuned Hayden.

Financially, in Henisburg. Austin had reached the point where even his watch was worth millions, unlike Hayden, who only had a rental place to his maine. Hayiden was a guy coming back fronsa war–torn cnimitry, a useless hooligan:
Net Courtney used a person like Hayden ra humiliate him, saying
¿ he couldn’t compare to Hayden in any aspect
Courtney was breathing heavily as she stood in front of Hayden. She believed she was just stating the truth.
Austin couldn’t compare to Hayden, who was an undercover agent. Spending five years in South Weadan wasn’t something just anyone could endure. Hayden’s resolve was steadfast. His heart was set on the nation, the organization, and discipline.

He stayed true to his instincts and desires. His mission was to dismantle the terrorist organization, never once using his position for personal

Even when Lucas’s men deliberately spiked his drink to incite his desire, making his body burn with heat, he just immersed himself in a tub of water, resisting the urge to touch Courtney
But Austin wasted no time in the vibrant nightlife of Henisburg and had already been intimate with Vera before she even left the city. She rolled her eyes speechlessly.
She had only been missing for three years, yet he had already applied for a death certificate for her. She had been gone for five years, and he already had a wife and children by a warm hearth.
“Courtney, you think I’m inferior to him? You’re insulting me.” Austin genuinely felt Courtney was insulting him. He thought. What does someone like Hayden, society’s bonom–feeder, have to uer
“Comparing you to him is an insult to him: Courtney said as most of her buzz had worn off and she pulled out her phone to play a voice recording Honestly, she was tired of even talking to AusIEL
“Are you really choosing a guy with no family background, no education, no skills, and no savings over met Austin laughed, “Courtney, it’s been five years, and you’re living in a fantasy. This is the real world.”
Austin was no longer the same person he used to be. Now, he was the youngest head doctor at Henisburg General Hospital, and his skills and achievements were recognized by everyone.
He was the top neurosurgeon, someone everyone admired and tried to connect with, a star in the eyes of pharmaceutical representatives and fellow doctors James considers him the top candidate to be the next hospital directOL
He was set in brcome the youngest director Henisborg General Hospital had ever had. Austin had climbed his way to the top, and he saw himself as Koincatie everyone wanted to be connected with.
Bur Courtney didn’t care. He thought her five years in South Weidan made it hard for her to see reality. “Courtney, I don’t blame you. Let’s hold off on the divorce for now. The courthouse has gives us a month to cool off.
“Think it over before taking any action, there’s no rush,” Austin knew that as long as he didn’t consent to the divorce, it could be delayed for six months to a year. “You’ve been disconnected from the world, and it’s cluding your view of reality.
“Even though Lorraine and Carl have been helping you since you got back, friends can’t support you forever. The little money you make at the pharmacy isn’t enough to support yourself Austin whispered as he tried to hold Courtney’s hand.
He thought Courtney hadn’t really faced enough of life’s hardships yet. Someone Like Hayden had no skills but muscles. He could only work

“Let’s get a divorce Courtney gritted her teeth and struggled to say the words. She wanted a divorce. Austin had clearly agreed to the divorce.
“Courtney, Austin sighed, thinking that she would definitely regret it later.
“If you’re a man, just be straightforward. You’ve remarried, so why do you still have the nerve to bother her? Hayden spoke in a deep voice. When Courtney said Austin couldn’t compare to him, his heart raced.
He knew Courtney might be saying it just to provoke Austin. But feeling that he still had some value to Courtney wasn’t such a bad thing
“Get some rest,” Austin said, turning his eyes away to avoid facing Courtney, encouraging her to rest.
“You’re not divorcing because you’re worried I’ll ask for the old house and the compensation money, right? Courtney asked him.
If she said she didn’t want any of it now, Austin would definitely divorce her immediately, afraid she’d change her mind,
Austin frowned, looking at Courtney, “Courtney, do you really have to misunderstand me this way? Do you honestly think I haven’t cared about us all these years? I chose you over Vera without a second thought.”
