Divorced, Yet He Can’t Let Me Go Chapter 70
For all his threats, Martin was terrified. He tugged hard at Savannah’s arm.She was just as panicked.“Adrian! What are we going to do?”His face remained blank. “Your brother can answer for what he’s done.”Her eyes filled with tears. She clung to him.“He was set up! He doesn’t understand any of this. Our parents died when I was little. He raised me. Please, help him!”Her tearful pleading was grating.Lucas noticed Sophie frown.“Whether you’re hiring a lawyer or fabricating evidence, you’d better get started. You’re not welcome here. Leave.”Adrian suppressed his irritation and turned to Sophie.“I didn’t mean to stay away all night. I was just…”She turned her head, unwilling even to look at him.“Take your friend and get out. I don’t want either of you near me.”Adrian swallowed. Blood was still dripping from his palm.Michael finally spoke up.“You need to get that hand treated.”Adrian looked at Sophie’s cold, resolute profile, then turned and walked away.Sav

“What the hell are you talking about? That’s an internal proposal. How could you possibly have it? For all we know, you grabbed some random document to fool us!”Martin was panicking now. He didn’t know the details of the project, but he knew exactly what kind of man his brother was.“I have no interest in your scheme to line your pockets under the pretense of public service,” Lucas said coldly. “What concerns me is that you seized private property and dug up a grave without consent.”Martin scoffed. “Who do you think you are? You want to come after me? Where’s your evidence?“First, I didn’t seize anyone’s land. The family signed a consent form. Everything we did was legal.“Second, there wasn’t even a body in that coffin. It doesn’t count as a grave!”He spoke loudly and aggressively, as though that settled everything.Lucas stepped toward him. At six foot three, he towered over Martin.“A memorial grave containing someone’s belongings has the same legal protections as any ot

Blood dripped from Adrian’s hand, but he seemed oblivious to the pain. While Sophie stared, stunned, he snatched the sickle away and threw it out of reach.Then he pulled her into his arms, holding her rigid, trembling body against his warmth.“Sophie, don’t be scared. Just take a breath.”His chest ached as he tried to soothe her.“This is my fault. I should’ve been here sooner. We’ll find the quietest cemetery we can and give your father a proper burial. All right?”“No!”She shoved him away. The disappointment in her eyes was ice-cold.“Now that you know he’s Savannah’s brother, have you forgotten what he did yesterday? You had Michael investigate him. You know exactly what kind of man he is!”Her look hurt. Weariness crept into his expression.“Those are separate issues. I’m just trying to…”“You’ve taken their side. You want me to back down, then let you pretend you’re making it right by compensating me.”She caught the flicker of impatience in his eyes and gave a bitte

“Yes, fake! There’s nobody in that coffin. Just a few old clothes!”Martin sounded outraged, utterly convinced he was in the right.“We’d never do something as heartless as dig up someone’s grave if there were actually a body in it!”The others immediately joined in.“Everyone around here knows about her father! He spent years running around doing God knows what. Never even had a proper job. Must’ve crossed the wrong person and gotten himself killed. They couldn’t even recover his body!”“That family’s unbelievable. Taking up land with a fake grave all these years, holding back the whole county. What’s their game?”The accusations came from every direction.Savannah turned to Sophie, her face full of contempt.“Seriously? That’s disgusting. Is your family really that desperate for land? You just can’t let it go?”“Shut up. All of you!”Adrian turned anxiously toward Sophie, lowering his voice.“Sophie.”She was deathly pale, her lips drained of color. Her fists were clenche

“Then I’ll make sure you lose your badge.”Martin had barely let out his first scream when another cry came from behind them.“Martin! Adrian, stop! He’s my brother!”Adrian had rushed out after hearing only a few words on the phone. Savannah had been forced to take a cab after him.She hadn’t expected to walk into this.She stood frozen.Martin was just as stunned.His mind went blank as a chill crept up his spine.Was this man his future brother-in-law?Savannah hurried forward and grabbed Adrian’s arm.“There has to be some misunderstanding!”Martin seized the chance to pull a document from his briefcase.“There is! The Green Mountain tourism development is a major county project. We didn’t start work until the property owner signed!”Adrian took the document and skimmed it, his frown deepening.“As for that woman…”Martin was searching for an excuse when his eyes lit up. He pointed past Adrian.“She’s right there!”Sophie had just stepped out of the car. She froze

Sophie recorded Martin and his men digging up the grave, then tucked away the consent form bearing Mr. Lewis’s forced thumbprint. She hoisted him onto her back and carried him to the road.She flagged down a car. Before the driver could refuse, she blurted out, “A thousand. Get us to the hospital as fast as you can.”The driver took one look at them and opened the door.They made it in time. The doctors stabilized Mr. Lewis and admitted him for observation.Only after everything was taken care of did the grief hit her.Fighting back tears, Sophie got into a car and sent Lucas a message.“Do you know a lawyer here I can trust?”His reply came immediately.“What happened?”Tears splashed onto her screen. Before she could type an answer, her phone rang.She hurriedly wiped her eyes and answered.“Where are you?” Lucas asked.She tried to steady her voice, but it still caught.“I’m not in Harbor City. You don’t need to come. It’s a personal matter.”He left her no room to arg
