At that moment, Nolan pulled up some information on Dr. Steel online. Then, he passed Simon his phone and said, “This is Dr. Ganter Steel.” Simon had a look and was shocked by the information. Dr. Steel was a prominent figure in the field of therapy and was currently serving as the director of a famous hospital. Seeing Austin’s credentials put Simon at ease about trusting Austin. As the prized protege of Dr. Ganter Steel, Austin must have exceptional skills. Curious, he also did a quick search on Austin’s background. After reading a few results, he understood why the psychologist said Austin was a little unconventional. Apparently, Austin had worked closely with his mentor regarding a condition called ‘Imaginary Love’. His way of treating the condition was special because he would make his patients confront the very situations that had triggered their issues in the first place. It was cruel at first, but his therapy sessions worked. After his little research on Austin and D

Austin was stunned. He turned to Rachel, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead. For the first time, he was truly afraid. There was more than one problem here! He took a deep breath and said, “Would you mind elaborating?” Rachel slightly lowered her head. “I lived under the same roof with him for three years, but when he found out I had to marry Stephen, he left me. “On the day of the wedding, I went to him in my wedding dress, but he refused to take me away. I want him back in my life.” She told Austin about her history with Ethan, but most were false. She was the one who betrayed Ethan, but she said Ethan left her. Austin found himself in a difficult spot again. He knew Rachel was married to the man inside the room, on the bed, and be it the man’s status or background, almost no other men in Riveria could beat him. As for Ethan, he only knew the man from what he had read online. Ethan was a criminal whose actions had caused chaos and destruction. The man should be exec

“Huh? This criminal is living in a mansion?” Austin frowned. He went closer and noticed the gate was wide open. “They don’t even have anyone guarding the place? Aren’t they worried he might escape?” Austin entered the mansion and immediately saw two people in the living room. One of them was young and handsome, sitting on the couch, and the other was a middle-aged man, standing respectfully opposite the young man.The middle-aged man was Liam, the chief of police. Ethan had called him over yesterday to arrest Rory, and today, Liam was back to finish up some paperwork. Catching Rory had been a major achievement. Hearing footsteps, Liam turned around and spotted Austin. Not recognizing him, Liam assumed he was a friend of Ethan’s and quickly wrapped up his notes.“That will be all. I’ll be on my way,” Liam said, gathering his things to leave.Rory was sentenced to death already, but Liam wanted to interrogate him more, hoping to get more information. Austin watched as Liam

Andy was expressionless. He felt no sympathy for Stephen’s current state. All of that was Stephen's own fault. "I'll be leaving soon, so I won't sit down. Anyway, I'm short of money, so give me 20 million dollars." The smile on Stephen's face immediately froze. Not a single word of concern but just a demand for 20 million dollars right off the bat from Andy cut Stephen deep. "Why should I give it to you?" Stephen asked in a low voice. Andy replied, "Let's not talk about how you almost killed me, but I know everything about what happened to Jeremy. You killed a hero and even destroyed the evidence. What do you think would happen if everyone were to learn the truth?" Stephen's expression darkened. "You're blackmailing me." "It depends on your decision. If you give me the money, things will be fine, but if you don't, then it won't be." Andy was not scared of him. He was no longer the naive and clueless boy who used to call Stephen his good friend. He had been through enough

“You’ve lost your mind.” Ethan’s words cut through the air like a knife, and a chill ran down Stephen’s spine. He thought of the doctors and nurses and how Nolan looked at him yesterday. “Impossible!” Stephen shook his head in denial, hoping to shake the doubts away. He was not crazy. He knew no one believed him, but if he started questioning himself too, then it would all be over. “I’m fine. I’m sane. I’m awake! I’m not crazy. You’re just messing with me!” Stephen shouted. Ethan smiled. “You know better than anyone if Jeremy is dead or not. You’re the one who killed him. You watched him die.” Stephen felt a punch in his soul. Images of Jeremy’s lifeless face, his cold, empty eyes, flooded Stephen’s mind once again. He panicked, his breathing hurried. “He’s not dead. You must’ve saved him!” Stephen said, his resolve beginning to crack. “Tell me where he is!” Ethan said, “You know the answer to that question better than me. You’re the one who chose his burial spot. Why
