Chapter 449

Author: Maureen Green
Riley knew he'd said everything he needed to say. All that remained was to see how Colin would think and act.

The atmosphere in the office was so oppressive that it was suffocating.

Colin remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, his voice hoarse. "Riley, you can go now. I need some time alone."

"Of course, Mr. Fuller," Riley said with relief as he quickly left the office.

With that, Colin was left alone in the office. He sat behind his desk, his expression shifting unpredictably, the look in his eyes constantly changing.

Riley's words had acted like a fuse, completely igniting the doubts in his heart.

The anonymous text, Riley's reminder, and Colin's increasingly deteriorating physical condition—everything pointed to one terrifying truth.

Gwyneth really was deceiving him.

The realization sent a piercing ache through Colin's heart, a hundred times worse than any physical discomfort.

He'd always deeply loved her, obeying her every word and considering her t

    "Gwyneth, are you hiding something from me?" Colin asked tentatively, trying to keep his tone gentle.Gwyneth's body trembled as she suddenly looked up, her tear-filled eyes gazing at Colin. "Colin, do you suspect me too?"Colin quickly shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of panic. "No, I don't suspect you. I'm just—""You do suspect me!" Gwyneth interrupted him, bursting into tears. "You think I'm the one who hurt you, don't you?"Colin felt frustrated and uneasy. He couldn't bear to see Gwyneth cry, especially when she was crying like this because of him. He quickly pulled Gwyneth into his arms and comforted her gently. "It's okay... Don't cry. I don't suspect you. I really don't. I just want to understand the truth."Gwyneth buried herself in Colin's embrace, sobbing uncontrollably. "Colin, I feel so wronged. I've devoted myself completely to your well-being and caring for you. I've put so much effort into it. But you suspect me like this, and it breaks my heart."Colin t

    "Damn it! That bastard Stefan left behind so much trouble!" Zac cursed under his breath, his voice filled with fury.Gwyneth glanced up at him, her voice trembling slightly. "Zac, keep your voice down. The lawyer is still here."The middle-aged Benjamin sitting across from them adjusted his glasses and spoke calmly. "Ms. Sanders, Mr. Sanders, the most important thing right now is to stay calm. Getting emotional won't solve anything."Zac spun around to face Benjamin, his tone hostile. "Stay calm? The evidence is about to be exposed, and you want me to stay calm? That quack doctor is utterly useless—so sloppy with his work!"And he had the nerve to demand such a high price! I thought with his reputation, he'd have some real skills, but he turned out to be completely incompetent!" Benjamin studied Zac, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. Nonetheless, he maintained his professional smile. "Mr. Sanders, we'll handle Dr. Powell's situation. The current problem is dealing with any

    Colin sighed, his tone softening. "Gwyneth, don't cry. I know you mean well for me. It's just that I've been in a bad mood lately, so I lost my temper with you. Please don't take it to heart."Gwyneth quickly wiped away her tears and looked up at Colin pitifully. "Really? Colin, you're really not angry with me anymore?"Colin nodded and reached out to gently caress Gwyneth's cheek. "I'm not angry anymore. I trust you."Hearing him say this, Gwyneth secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a joyful smile appeared on her face. She nestled in his arms, her voice sweet and soft as she said, "Colin, I knew you were the best. I knew you would trust me."I haven't been feeling well lately either. I always feel tired and sleepy. Could my depression be acting up again?"Colin frowned. "Your depression is acting up again? How could that happen? Haven't you been taking your medication?""Yes, I've been taking my medication, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to be working as well lately. I

    Gwyneth quickly interrupted Zac's impending outburst. "No, Dr. Powell, that's not what we meant. Five million dollars is nothing. We'll gather the money for you as soon as possible. We just hope that you'll keep your promise and maintain secrecy."Stefan chuckled with satisfaction. "Don't worry, I always keep my word. As long as the money's in place, everything will be fine. However, I hope you'll transfer the funds to my account quickly. I don't like dragging things out.""No problem, Dr. Powell. We'll arrange it right away," Gwyneth quickly agreed.With that, Stefan left. Zac's face was so dark it could drip water. "Gwen, that old fox is incredibly greedy! Five million dollars—it's pure extortion!"Gwyneth sighed. "Forget it. Money comes and goes. What matters is getting out of this safely. If buying our way out works, it's worth the cost. The most important thing now is stabilizing Colin quickly and not letting him continue suspecting us.""How do we stabilize him? He's alread

    Gwyneth's face contorted with distress as she bit her lip, her eyes riddled with conflict. On one hand, she was unwilling to give up the wealth and luxury within her grasp, but on the other hand, Stefan's words filled her with deep fear. She knew very clearly that once their scheme was exposed, what awaited them would be an abyss of no return.Stefan's voice carried mockery. "Unwilling? So what if you're unwilling? Do you really want to keep taking risks? Do you actually think Colin is an idiot who will stay fooled forever? He's already having doubts. If you don't stop now, he'll discover the truth sooner or later!""But..." Zac tried to argue, only to be coldly interrupted by Stefan.His voice was firm as he replied, "There are no buts! I'll say it one more time. Stop increasing the dosage immediately, find a way to keep Colin stable, and then retreat as soon as possible! This is the only way out right now, otherwise no one can save you!"Gwyneth's body trembled slightly as she re

    Zac's voice carried a hint of anger. "Gwen, what are you still hesitating about? Do you want to just watch Colin discover the truth and then send us both to prison?"Gwyneth was at a loss for words. Of course, she didn't want to go to jail, but she also didn't want to take such risks. "I—""Gwen, listen to me—increase the dosage. It's the only way!" Zac's voice was firm and uncompromising.Just as Gwyneth was wavering, Stefan's elderly voice suddenly cut in, clearly having taken over the call from Zac. He angrily shouted, "Increase the dosage? Are you both insane?""Dr. Powell? Why are you on the line too?" Gwyneth asked in surprise.Stefan's voice was stern as he replied, "I noticed Zac still lingering near the clinic, so I came to check and heard your conversation. I'm warning you—don't do anything reckless. Increasing the dosage will only accelerate Colin's death, and when that happens, none of you will escape!""Dr. Powell, what do you suggest we do? Colin's already starting
