Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 135: A Warrant
Scarlett's POV The conference room at the federal building smelled like burnt coffee and old paper. Ashfield had the folders open in a line across the table. Richard sat with a legal pad half-filled with dates while Nicholas stood rather than sat, arms folded, eyes on the pages like they might rearrange themselves if he looked away. I stayed in the chair nearest the end of the table, close enough to read the labels. "Here's what we've got," Ashfield tapped the first stack. “Calista to Harris. Payment authorization, confirming message, same window of dates before the river. Emma’s copies and the matching record from the office photos.” "Then there's the foundation," Richard slid a page forward. "Pre-existing. Money already in place before the accident, not after. That kills the ‘reaction after the fact’ defense.” "Then there's the post-accident cleanup, " He said. "communications, the investigation closed in three hours, the people who moved when he spoke. We have the recording a

Scarlett's POVHe’s still asleep,” I said into the phone. “They haven’t woken him up yet. The nurses said they’re bringing the sedation down a little if his numbers stay steady.”“Can we come see him?” Aiden asked."No you can't," I said. "It's the hospital rules. You stay with Lauren and do what she says.”"Tell him we said hi," Valeria's voice was further from the speaker."I will," I said. "I love you both."“Love you too,” Aiden said. “I’ve got them,” Lauren said from the speaker. “Don’t worry about this side, just… keep me posted.”“I will," I sighed. "Thank you.”I hung up and sat for a moment with the phone still in my hand. Spencer’s monitors kept their steady count. The bruising along the left side of his face had darkened since the morning. I pressed my palms against my eyes until colors burst behind the lids.When I dropped my hands, they were standing at the end of the corridor. My parents.I stood up.“Scarlett.” Belinda took a step forward and stopped when I did not mov

Konrad's POVI set the phone down and looked at the notation under the lamp one more time.The initials were still there. The date before the river. The ordinary approval that tied the contingency structure to this office. Outside the glass the city kept its lights. Inside, the quiet of the top floor no longer felt like a wall. The subpoena would pull the archived records from the year of the river. That was no longer a possibility. It was a schedule. Waiting for lawyers to manage the perimeter while investigators walked through those files was how men lost rooms they had owned for decades. I had watched it happen to other people. I had no intention of sitting still while it happened to me.I pulled a pad across the desk and wrote the names that still mattered. The pen moved in short, precise strokes. Evidence first, then people. Who could put a voice to Emma’s paper. Who still knew Harris. Who understood the foundation the way it had actually been used. Who had been in the house when
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 132: Retrieve It
Konrad's POV The office was quiet in the way only the top floor could be after midnight.Most of the building had gone dark hours ago. The cleaning crews had finished the lower levels and Security would be doing their rounds on a predictable loop. I left the main lights off and worked under the desk lamp, the circle of yellow cutting across the surface of the files I had pulled from the older cabinets myself. I didn't tell my assistant or made a record of the request. Just the paper and the dates and the knowledge that Calista was already in custody asking for a lawyer.Calista did not concern me.She had always been useless anyways from the beginning. I had known that years ago, had known her loudness would get her nowhere. What bother wasn't her, It was Emma’s.Emma had lived inside the house. She had walked past the study when the quiet men came and went, seen folders that never entered the regular system. She had heard enough late-night calls to understand that certain conversat

Scarlett's POVAshfield’s name lit the screen while I was still sitting beside Spencer’s bed.The ICU was quiet except for the monitors,the steady beep, the soft mechanical sigh of oxygen, the low hum of equipment that had become the room’s only language. I stepped just far enough from the glass that my voice wouldn’t carry to the nurses’ station and answered.“It’s done,” Ashfield said. “Calista Lancaster was taken into custody this evening with no resistance.”“She’s in custody,” I repeated, as if the words needed to be tested out loud before they could settle.“Yes, we're processing now," she pause. “Calista's case but Konrad is a different problem. He insulated himself behind corporate structures, lawyers, and the fact that he was never the one who physically reached out to Harris. We still have to prove he knowingly participated in the cover-up and the concealment afterward. The arrest doesn’t bring him down by itself.”I closed my eyes for a second. The relief I had expected for
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 130: Under Arrest
Calista's POV I spread the papers across the dining table until there was no clean wood left.Bank statements, old transfer confirmations, a thin folder of correspondence I should have burned years ago and hadn’t. I sat in the chair at the head of the table and tried to map what they could possibly have.Emma, that much I knew. She had left and she had taken things with her. The problem was no longer any single piece. The problem was whether someone had finally laid them in order.I had spent eleven years believing I controlled the story. Who knew what. Who believed what. Which version of Scarlett’s disappearance hardened into fact. For the first time I could not see the other side’s board, and the not-knowing made my hands go cold on the edge of the table.I reached for my phone, then stopped. Harris was a door I could not open without making noise I wasn’t ready to explain. Konrad had made his position clear,contact again and the next conversation would not be one I walked away fro
