“Dr. Evans, we have no intentions of trespassing. We just want to have a friendly chat with Dr. Edwards. This concerns the hospital’s reputation,” the PR representaines said with a forced simile.
“I should be Marilyn and James’s personal responsibility. What does the hospital have to do with it! What, does the sector stand for the whole hospital’s reputation! If he made a mistake, just fire lâm” Lorraine said angrily.
Austin sighed. “Lorraine, Courtney don’t understand the realities of society, and you’re following her lead? That audio clip being spread online isn’t good. Someone’s doing it on purpose, and it cause a lot of trouble for Courtney: She really needs to take it down.”
“Are you threatening us?” Lorraine laughed coldly.
“Lorraine, you have Carl and his family behind you, so naturally, no one dares to touch you. But Courtney is different. What does she have?” Austin
Courtney stood there, with a bitter smile, feeling cold all over. Indeed, she had nothing
“Austin, how can you say things like that? I have Carl, but aren’t you Courtney’s husband? You can’t even protect your own wife, so what right do you have to talk this way? Lorraine was furious, thinking Austin was such a coward, a useless man.
Austin was briefly taken aback, feeling embarrassed, and looked at Courtney with guilt. “This is my way of protecting her, but how can I compare to the power of the Lews family!”
“If you’re useless, just admit it, and stop making excuses here,” Lorraine said angrily.

Hayden, in his way, was willing to risk everything for Courtney

The PR team quickly stopped Austin. “Dr. Gilbert, your h
your hands are valuable to the hoqital”
Frustrated. Austin shrugged off the PR team and walked away. He was desperate to find a way to protect Courtney but he didn’t know how, James was planning to throw her into a mental hospital this time.
At Henisburg General Hospital, in the director’s office, Austin barged in, fists clenched, and took a deep breath. “Dad, we went to find Courtney. She’s not the one who released the audio. It was Hayden”
James sat calmly, sipping his coffee, “Looks like someone wants to take all the responsibility on himself,” James let out a cold chuckle, thinking. ‘No worries. Hayden will soon disappear from Henisburg completely
Getting rid of a little punk like Hayden was no big deal for him.
“Dad, maybe Courtney really didn’t send the audio. She’s shy and just got back from abroad. She hasn’t even used these apps or software before.” Austin explained anxiously for Courtney
“You and Vera are divorced, so why do you still call me Dad? Austin, it seems you’ve chosen Courtney, James said in a low voice, his words filled with menace.
Sweat formed on Austin’s forehead as he nervously clenched his hands.
“Courtney has mental health problems. As long as you sign, the staff can forcefully admit her. By then, there are countless ways to make her sign a confession or even make her obedient forever. James said calmly.
