Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 122: Choose A Side
Calista's POV I sat very still on the sofa, the phone dark in my lap, the message from Reid’s associate still burned into the screen even after it went black. Do not leave the country. My thumb hovered over the contacts. Nicholas. I stared at his name for a long time before I finally pressed it. The phone rang against my ear. Once. Twice. The sound was too loud in the empty room. Four times. Voicemail. His recorded voice came on, short and formal, the version he used for people he didn’t want to talk to. I hung up without speaking and lowered the phone. My hands were shaking. I could feel the shaking in my fingers against the glass. I tried again and got the same ringing, same voicemail, same dead air afterward. I stood up and walked to the window. Outside the light had gone thin and gray. I could see my own reflection faintly in the glass, hair pulled back too tight, face pale, eyes too wide. I looked like someone who had already lost and hadn’t admitted it yet. I dialed Emma'
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 121: The Walls Are Closing In
Calista's POV I told myself nothing had happened yet. There was no official notice, no knock on the door. No agents standing in my living room with a warrant in their hands. The house was still quiet, the same expensive quiet it had always been, the low hum of the air conditioning, the faint tick of the clock on the mantel, the soft creak of the floorboards when I paced, for a few hours I almost believed that silence meant I still had time. Then the calls started going unanswered. The first one was a woman who used to handle small transfers for me without asking questions. I dialed her number and listened to it ring. Once. Twice. Five times. Voicemail. I left a message, voice carefully even. “It’s Calista. I need you to move something for me. Call me back as soon as you can.” I waited but the message stayed unread. The single check mark on the screen felt like a closed door. I tried a man at the bank next. The one who normally replied within minutes, sometimes seconds. I typed

Scarlett's POV The conference room smelled like burnt coffee and old printer toner.I sat at the long table with the sealed evidence box in front of Ashfield. Nicholas was two chairs down, elbows on the wood, the same exhausted focus he’d worn since last night still sitting on his face while Spencer stood near the wall, arms folded, quiet but present. Richard had a laptop open and a legal pad already half-covered in notes.Ashfield broke the evidence tape with a clean snap. She opened the box and began laying the folders out in careful order, one after another, like she was building something that couldn’t be taken apart again.“These are foundation formation documents,” she said. “Dated eleven years ago with everything we've got. Pre-accident. Daniel Jackson’s signature chain across the corporate shells and the contingency structure. Medical payment records tied to Harris’s reconstructive surgery, drawn from the same pre-loaded account. The authorization and transfer that show Calis

Scarlett's POV Emma didn’t answer right away.She looked at Nicholas first, then at the pages spread across the table, then finally at me.“If I do this,” she said, “Konrad will know I betrayed him.”“He already knows you left him,” I answered quietly.“Leaving him and standing against him are two very different things.” her voice was low."You’ve already been standing against him by keeping those files," I kept my voice steady. “By walking out, sitting here tonight and putting them on this table. Testifying is just the part that makes it count for more than the three of us in this room.”Nicholas stayed silent beside the doorway, while Spencer hadn’t moved from his spot near the wall. Ashfield and Richard watched without interrupting.Emma’s gaze dropped to the payment authorization again, the one with Calista’s name and the date that sat weeks before the river. “I spent eleven years telling myself silence was the only way to keep anyone safe,” she said. “It didn’t keep anyone safe

Scarlett's POV "Spencer," I said immediately the call ended He looked up from the kitchen counter, the low light caught the edge of the glass he’d been holding. “Nicholas’s mother kept copies," I said sharply. "Everything we need to know and she's ready to turn them over." Spencer set the glass down. “Ashfield needs to know.” I was already dialing. The screen lit up in my fingers and Ashfield answered on the first ring. I put her on speaker. "Hello," her voice came out flat. "It's Scarlett, Nicholas just called." I said quickly. "He said his mother kept copies, documents, everything we need to know and she's ready to turn them over." There was a short pause on the other end. I could hear the faint click of a keyboard. “How long has she had them?” Ashfield asked. "A long time, she took them before she left the estate." I said. "She’s been holding them.” Spencer stayed still, watching the phone like it might say something else. "We're on our way, Richard's coming in on th
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 117: Copies Of Everything
Nicholas's POV “What did you know, Mom?” I asked quietly.She looked at the floor for a long time, her hands were tight on the arms of the chair. “After the accident I knew something was wrong almost immediately," she said finally, voice low. "Your father didn't tell me anything, but he was already on the phone before the police had barely finished the first report and then he was telling everyone we needed to accept she was dead.""I remember that," I said leaning forward. "It was hours after she signed the divorce papers and I thought I'd killed her.""Yes, your father was..." She paused, shaking her head once. "He was organized, like the steps were already written down somewhere.""Did you ask him about it?" I asked. "If he was somehow involved?""I tried to," she said quietly. "He said certain things were family matters and shouldn't leave the house. Everytime I pushed, that was the answer, so after awhile I stopped pushing."She wiped under one eye with the side of her thumb.“
