Chapter 631

The ICU ward was so quiet that one could hear one's own heartbeat.Inside, Melvin was still wearing his earpiece, with Eleanor practically streaming the call in joy. He took out the syringe and smiled like a man gone mad, satisfied.'Maria, blame yourself,' he thought to himself. 'You shouldn't have crossed the two of us. In your next life, be smarter.'"Now!" Eleanor's voice crackled in his ear, twisted with pleasure. "Cousin, don't let her die too easily. Push it slowly. Send her to hell in the worst possible pain!"Melvin's mouth twisted into a cruel smile. He rolled up the sleeve of the "unconscious" Maria. With a ritual-like slowness, he aimed the needle at a thin, fragile vein in her arm.The instant the tip was about to pierce her skin…Bang!A deafening crash blew the silence apart. The heavy door, locked from the inside, was smashed open by brute force.Richard and Willow stormed in with a large group of police and security forces who had been waiting outside."Don't

Chapter 632

Early next morning, Brooks Jewelry Group and the police department held a joint press conference under the glare of countless cameras. The police spokesperson stood there with a cold expression as he formally announced a highest-level warrant for the suspect, Eleanor Cooper, across every major platform.What stunned both the reporters on site and the millions watching the livestream was what came next. The police released nearly ten minutes of unedited, critical footage from a pinhole camera hidden inside the smoke detector in the room where Maria was supposedly lying in a coma.On screen, Eleanor’s face, usually soft with a gentle smile, was twisted by jealousy and hate. Speaking to the seemingly unconscious Maria, she admitted how she had leaked information anonymously, paid online smear teams, and steered public opinion until Maria fell from a respected genius cellist to someone everyone denounced as a homewrecker.She even went on to describe in detail how she and Melvin had w

Chapter 633

Jonathan was still scared that the second he saw Maria, he would break down and not be able to get a word out.In the Brooks residence's living room, Willow stood in front of the tall windows with a cup of coffee that had long since gone cold, waiting for his nephew who was about to arrive.His emotions were all over the place.He couldn't deny the relief he felt that Jonathan had stepped up at the most critical moment, risking himself to protect his sister. At the same time, he couldn't easily forgive the damage the same boy had done to her before, the kind that had nearly broken her for good.He didn't know what kind of expression to put on when he saw a boy he both loved and hated.At the hospital, Richard was alone in another temporary command center, handling Wilson's transfer and giving him the highest level of security.He had deliberately stayed away from home.He knew this moment belonged to a mother and her son. He, the sinner, had no right to be there. So, he left the

Chapter 634

Maria had waited far too long for that hug from Jonathan. As for Jonathan, it was not just coming home. It was a belated salvation for his soul.She did not say "I forgive you." She did not say "It's okay." Mother and son only held on to each other tightly. In the bright morning sun, they finished their reconciliation in the most instinctive and profound way there ever was.Maria patted Jonathan's back slowly as if she were brushing away all the fear and unease he had carried these days, and brushing off her own pain and past with it.Even though Eleanor's crimes had been exposed, the vicious storm she had stirred up online didn't fade so easily.The hashtag #LindaWasTheMistress# still hung at the end of the trending list like a stain that could not be washed out.Despite all the posts where the facts had already been laid out, countless people who didn't know the truth or didn't want to believe it kept hurling relentless and inhuman abuse at Maria, along with those who were pai

Chapter 635

Under the flashes of cameras, Richard slowly walked up to the podium alone.He looked terrible. His face was pale, with heavy shadows under his eyes. Yet, his gaze was calmer than it had ever been.He stopped at the podium without looking at any prepared notes. He faced the cameras and the probing stares and bowed, deep and long. "Before I begin, I want to apologize to someone."He straightened up and, still without reading from a script, began to tell a secret he had buried for seven years, something that had hung over his entire life. His voice was low, sincere, and hoarse. "The marriage certificate going around online is genuine."That opening sentence Richard had said immediately caused a huge stir.The room erupted!He then admitted that more than seven years ago, he had registered a marriage with Eleanor. "But it wasn't for love," he said, bitterness in his voice. "It was to fulfill my grandmother's last wish. She was my only family then, and she was dying. There was

Chapter 636

When Richard was talking about the person he truly wanted to spend his life with, the cold mask he had been using to face the world instantly collapsed.His expression softened. In his deep, unreadable eyes, there was only love and an endless guilt that could not be dispelled.Every reporter held their breath. They knew the real climax had finally arrived."I made a mistake," Richard said, his voice rough. "A mistake I'll never forgive myself for. I was afraid of losing her. What happened to me in the past turned me into a coward who did not know how to love or how to trust, so I hid something from her. I hid that I once had a marriage, and that it had never ended legally."He raised his head and looked straight into the main camera, as if he were swearing an oath. Then, he laid out the ugliest truth he had buried for seven years. "So, for the entire seven years I pursued her, held a wedding with her, and lived with her, Maria never knew I had ever registered a marriage with Elea

Chapter 637

Richard's press conference hit the internet like a magnitude-twelve quake, affecting the entirety of the internet. Within minutes of the livestream ending, the social media platforms that had been tearing into Maria went eerily silent.Then, the reversal crashed in like a tidal wave.Comment sections that had been packed with abuse were suddenly flooded by a different kind of reply."Wait… What…? A plot twist? Darn it… I was just calling her a homewrecker a second ago?""Guys, who gets this? My face is burning from embarrassment! Turns out we've been cursing the wrong person from the start!""I'm calling it, this is the wildest, fastest plot twist I've seen all year! Nothing compares to this!""So, to sum it up: the original wife married him to fulfill an elder's dying wish, then ran away. He met his true love, hid that license like a coward, lived with her for seven years, and then the ex came crashing back? This… This is more dramatic than any TV show!"#RichardShawPublicApolo

Chapter 638

The courtroom was solemn and heavy, the air so thick it seemed hard to breathe.The benches were full. Before the session began, countless flashes had gone off, aimed at the defendant in his prison uniform, still acting as if he had nothing to fear.Thump!The judge’s gavel came down."Order!"The judge then announced the opening of the trial. "The trial of the defendant, Melvin Smith, suspected of multiple counts of intentional homicide, is now in session."The room fell quiet.The prosecution rose first. In a firm voice, they read out every charge against Melvin. They submitted phone records between him and Wilson, movement logs from before and after the incidents, and medical syringes seized from his safehouse identical to those found at the crime scenes.However, Melvin showed no fear when he was faced with the accusations.His lawyer, a top attorney known for exploiting loopholes, stood and met the charges with open arrogance, tearing into each piece of evidence. "You

Chapter 639

After the judge brought the gavel down and called for order, extra officers rushed in and finally forced Melvin, who had been thrashing and howling like a mad animal in the defendant's chair, back into his seat.Things calmed down in the courtroom after the mess, but it was still really tense, like right before a storm would break.Every gaze locked onto the "living dead" who should never have appeared here at all.At that moment, with the judge's permission, Richard slowly rose from the gallery and walked forward, step by step. His arrival was like a powerful magnetic field that made the noisy courtroom fall silent in an instant.He looked first, eyes cold, at Melvin, who had been pressed back into his seat, dazed, still muttering "Impossible" under his breath. The corner of his mouth lifted in a razor-sharp, icy sneer.Then he turned to the judge and the jury. In a voice so calm it was almost frightening, he told the truth that stunned everyone in the room, including his own all

Chapter 640

Finally, Richard turned his head. His gaze passed over the gallery and settled on a small figure sitting not far away, back straight.When he spoke again, his voice carried something it had never held before, a quiet, unhidden pride."And every part of your supposedly flawless plan, Mr. Melvin Smith," he said, stressing each word, "was reported to me in advance, word for word, by my seven-year-old son you and Eleanor looked down on."At that line, every last bit of Melvin's mental defenses snapped.He was no longer just a failed murderer caught on the spot. He was nothing but a complete clown, performing a ridiculous one-man show in front of a corpse!Humiliation and a sense of defeat surged over him like a tide and swallowed him whole.Then the real witness, Wilson, was pushed to the stand in his wheelchair. His face was pale and his voice weak, but his eyes were clear and focused.He told the judge and jury in detail how Melvin and Eleanor had used money and threats to buy him
