LOGINThe night my sister died during a failed emergency procedure, a gang of thugs stopped the car that was taking me to the funeral home. They desecrated her body right in front of me, then beat me until every bone in my body felt shattered and the tendons in my hands were severed. The next day, the news that my hands were ruined and I would never be able to operate again made the headlines. Because of that, my fiancée of eight years, Sandra Walker, broke off our engagement. The very next day, she left for an overseas medical conference with the man she had always loved. When I was on the verge of collapse, Sandra's aunt, Magnolia Walker, set off fireworks for me and announced our wedding to the entire city. "Kayden Foster, I've loved you for so long. Now, I can finally stand by your side. In this life, you're the only man I want to marry!" In that endless despair, I clung to her as my only lifeline. On our wedding day, after I came back from paying my respects to my sister, I accidentally overheard Magnolia talking to her assistant, Robin Myers. "Dr. Walker, for your niece Sandy to be able to marry Quinton Kerr, I arranged for an intern to operate on Kayden's sister, hired people to cripple him, and had his sister's body violated. The police are still investigating, and I'm starting to get a little nervous. Isn't this too cruel?" After a brief silence, Magnolia spoke in a tired voice. "What choice did I have? Kayden was too proud. If I hadn't removed the sister he depended on and ruined both his hands, how could I make him fall apart? How else could I have made him break things off with Sandy without anyone suspecting a thing? "Quin and I were never meant to be in this life. As long as he's happy, that's enough..."

Even I was shocked by how much blood there was.Magnolia truly was as ruthless as ever.But the death of one insignificant man was not enough to stop the Walker empire from reigning.Within a week, news that the Walker hospital had lost access to its core technologies spread across every major social media platform.In this day and age, technology is everything in the industry. The rights to access the core technologies the Walker family had spent generations securing were revoked overnight. It was enough to cripple the business.The legend of the strong, independent woman who had once carried the whole Walker family on her shoulders fell apart completely.Magnolia had no choice but to humble herself and beg the companies she used to look down on. She pleaded for access to even the smallest piece of proprietary technology and
Quinton's smile quickly froze as he stared at the video on the phone, panic rising in his eyes. He reached for Magnolia, trying to turn her face toward him for a kiss, but Magnolia went white and shoved him away in one crazed moment.Quinton slammed into the wall and immediately cried out in disbelief. "Maggy, what are you doing?! What did I do to make you treat me like this?"Magnolia had spoiled him for far too long, and Sandy had indulged him just as much, so he had gotten used to doing whatever he wanted around her.He even held out a hand, waiting for Magnolia to comfort him.However, in the next second, Magnolia brought her heel down hard on it.All he could do was scream in pain as Magnolia grabbed his face and demanded harshly, "You saw it with your own eyes. Why did your best friend, Henry, kill Kayden?! Didn't I already tell you that you would marry Sandy, and after that, I even said I would still treat you well in private? Why did you still have to kill him?!"Quinton'
Magnolia's mind went completely blank.Before she knew it, she was already standing in the hospital morgue. A circle of people was already standing there, all of them trembling. A coroner said, "Dr. Walker, we've already run the DNA test. It really is Dr. Foster..."Magnolia's lips trembled. She clutched the white sheet so hard her fingers shook. Only after a long hesitation did she finally pull the sheet back as she gritted her teeth.The body beneath the sheet was burned black. The face was charred beyond recognition, but the diamond watch on the corpse's wrist still gleamed brightly.The color immediately drained from Magnolia's face.Her trembling hand reached for the watch, and the moment she saw the "K&M" engravings, she lost all her strength as she collapsed to the floor.Robin rushed forward to help her up as everyone else around them trembled even harder, not daring to raise their heads."That was... the token of love I gave Kayden..." As Magnolia spoke, tears rolled do
Magnolia's eyes went wide as she shrieked into the phone at Robin on the other side of the line. "What happened? How could he just disappear?!"Robin sighed before gathering the courage to speak. "Ms. Walker, you can't tell me you don't know what kind of state Dr. Foster has been in since that incident. He's so deeply traumatized physically and mentally that he has been relying on medication just to keep his severe depression under control, yet you still keep trying to provoke him."And today, you stood in for Sandy and went through with the wedding ceremony with Dr. Kerr. Do you know how humiliating that was for him? When I checked his room, every pill bottle was already empty! I can't even imagine how much pain he was in, and we still don't know whether he truly tried to kill himself!"Robin's voice was starting to fade further, and Magnolia could only hear the ringing in her ears. She had only heard that ringing twice before in her life.The first was when her grandfather, the
