Semua Bab Kicking Him to the Curb: Bab 451 - Bab 460

Gwyneth's voice suddenly rose, carrying a hint of panic. "Dr. Powell is definitely a professional doctor! Colin, don't let your imagination run wild. He was recommended by a friend I know well, and he's supposed to be an expert in treating mental health issues. I brought you to see him for your own good, so how can you suspect him like this?"Colin repeated the phrase, his tone ice-cold. "For my own good? Or for your own good?"Gwyneth's voice finally became uncontrollably shrill. "Colin! How can you say that about me? Don't you know how I've treated you? How much have I sacrificed for you—have you forgotten all that? Now that you're feeling slightly better, you start suspecting me and questioning me. Is this how you treat me?"Gwyneth's voice carried a sob, sounding utterly wronged. If this had been before, hearing Gwyneth speak in such a tone would have made Colin's heart ache, and he would have immediately apologized and admitted his fault.But now, his heart felt only numb and

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

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

"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

Seeing Gwyneth's tears, Colin's defenses crumbled once again. What he feared most was seeing her cry, especially now when she was sobbing so heartbrokenly, as if she had suffered the greatest injustice.Colin sighed, his tone softening. "Alright, stop crying. I believe you, Gwyneth. I believe you wouldn't hurt me."Upon hearing this, Gwyneth immediately threw herself into Colin's arms and cried even harder. "Colin, I knew you'd believe me—only you believe me..."Zac fanned the flames from the side. "Colin, those people would do anything to get their hands on the Fuller family fortune! They must have seen that Gwyneth has your trust, so they're scheming to frame her, trying to drive her away so they can take her place!"Colin's face darkened when he heard the words "the fortune". It was about money again. He had thought Aspen still had some feelings for him, but now it seemed he had been deluding himself—that woman only cared about money. Zac immediately nodded. "Besides them, w
