Isabella, who was standing nearby, heard these words and felt a heavy pain in her heart. Jackson angrily spoke these words, his anger boiling over, and every word was like a dagger to the heart. Aiden had no defense and nodded in confession, his voice hoarse: "Yes, what he said is true. I admit everything. Sophia's scheme, my going along with it, led to the deaths of Isabella and her father." Aiden's lips were tightly pressed together, his face is heavy, and his black eyes were as lifeless as death. He, who had once been so high and mighty, was now bowing his head in confession here. "He even abused Isabella within the marriage. Such a person using his power to torment a woman to this extent should be punished by the law!" Jackson's eyes flashed with anger as he slammed his hands on the desk. Jackson's love for her, she always knew. That he would come all this way, across oceans, just to clear her name was more than she could ever have imagined. And Aiden? Apart from silence an
Jackson was determined to prosecute Aiden. However, he never expected that the female forensic pathologist who personally submitted Isabella's autopsy report would intercept him at the police station entrance. Unlike Aiden, Jackson was not cold-blooded. "What do you want?" Although the police officer had addressed her earlier, Jackson's attention was completely focused on Aiden, intent on seeking revenge for Isabella. In his eyes, no one was as important as Isabella. His heart was filled with Isabella. "Yeah." Grace nodded, biting her lip, hesitant and unsure of how to begin. She wanted to persuade Jackson not to pursue the matter too deeply. Otherwise, she feared that Jackson would only end up getting himself into trouble and in danger. However, as a stranger and a highly respected forensic pathologist, how could she advise him? "Speak." Jackson replied in a low, hoarse voice, with a friendly attitude. "Jackson, regarding Isabella's case, let's see how many years Aiden g
"I am Isabella Jackson indeed. Do you still remember when I fell into the pond when we were young and you saved me? Besides, I cried bitterly because of the death of the little dog, and you promised me that you would raise many little dogs for me in the future. We buried that little white one..." This is the childhood of Isabella and Jackson, only Isabella knows about it. You should know that since Isabella married Aiden, she has only been Aiden's wife. Where could she have other friends? Moreover, Aiden has already misunderstood the relationship between him and Isabella. How could Isabella possibly tell these things to someone else? And, the woman in front of her is a forensic scientist. Isabella has been afraid of animal carcasses since she was a child. How could she possibly deal with such a person? The woman opposite has such devout eyes. "Are you really Isabella?" Jackson let her go, grasped her shoulders, and looked at her incredulously. Even her voice trembled. Perhaps,
Jackson gripped Grace's shoulders, "God has taken you away once before. I let you go before, which led to the start of your tragedy. This time, I won't let you go! I want to be with you!" Jackson's firm words did not give her a chance to speak. He had already let go of her and driven away. He drove to the old square and pulled her out of the car. Then, in the midst of the crowd, he knelt down on one knee, holding her hand with one hand, and in the other hand, he held a small heart-shaped box. In the blink of an eye, the heart-shaped box opened, and the ring inside refracted multi-colored light under the sun. "Grace, marry me." Jackson looked up at her with devout eyes. Grace's eyes were surprised, looking at Jackson who suddenly knelt down on one knee, holding the ring in his hand. She was slightly stunned. Seeing the man in a well-tailored suit, his inherent elegant demeanor was very charming. His handsome face wore a shallow smile. He was waiting for her answer. Grace's fin
"The knowledge she learned is clearly presented in my mind, but I'm afraid of seeing those bodies. Jackson, after I resign and this is over, I will leave this place." There was nothing in this city that she could hold onto anymore. The moment she finished speaking, Jackson raised the corner of his mouth and said, "No matter where you go, I will be with you!" His gaze was firm and resolute. "I want to be alone." Grace coldly refused. She knew Jackson's personality too well, and she couldn't let him give up everything for her and go away with her. "...Okay." Jackson had more to say, but looking at her expression, he ultimately held back his words. He thought, there would be plenty of time in the future. No matter what, he would follow her. Everything was as she had expected. The autopsy report on her, as well as the lawsuit against Aiden, involved too many complications. Aiden's parents found her immediately. The meeting was very direct, with them handing her a check and ge
"And what of it?" Grace gave a bleak smile. What hadn't she experienced in prison? Besides, what would she know if she died? Aiden's parents saw Grace's stubbornness and knew that she was an upright and unyielding person. They had originally planned to threaten someone else in the family, but Grace was all alone. "You should really consider carefully..." Aiden's mother was just threatening Grace, but her phone rang, it was from the police station, about Aiden. Aiden had previously refused to see them, but he had now changed his mind and asked someone else to tell them, "My son asked me to tell you that if he doesn't see you today, he will kill himself!" "He said that since his wife is already dead and he is now considered a criminal, he has lost all hope." Losing all hope meant that he was determined to die. Aiden's mother could not bear to watch Aiden die like that. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought so many people, only Grace, just to persuade Grace to relent. "We'll l
He looked at her with jealousy on his face and said, "Grace, I want to hide you away. I don't want others to discover your goodness and compete with me for you." Grace was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was a long dream, weaving their future. He worked hard little by little, surrounding her with love, and after a long time of effort, he gradually melted her frozen heart. But the day she finally agreed to Jackson's proposal was the day he fell ill. He had a bad cold and a high fever. He was admitted to the hospital directly with severe lung infection and almost went into shock. He didn't let anyone know, not even her. Grace was worried because he hadn't come to see her for a long time, and he didn't answer her calls. She only texted him and felt that his behavior was a bit strange compared to before. She first invited him out to discuss project matters, but he refused to see her. When she asked him why, he said he was going abroad and might
He struggled to get up, determined. Jackson's mother also knows that he is like this. Once he makes a decision, no one or anything can easily change it. Besides, Isabella is his Achilles' heel in his life. Since we can't stop him, we'll just let him be. It's just that... As soon as he left, his mother brandished a fruit knife and placed it across her own neck, her voice low and threatening, "Jackson, if you step out of this house today, I will immediately commit suicide!" These words stopped him in his tracks. The dagger in his mother's hand seemed to be across his own neck, causing an invisible sting and a sense of suffocation. The Huo family had already delivered the message, otherwise his mother wouldn't have pushed him to this extreme. Just as Jackson was caught between a rock and a hard place, his phone rang. It was a voice call from a messaging app. He instinctively looked at it and saw that it was from her old account. At such a critical moment, her use of her old a
