Sophia cried as she explained, scrambling towards Aiden and trying to grab his trouser leg. But before she could even touch him, he kicked her away harshly. "Believe? After everything, do you really think I'll still believe you?" Aiden sneered coldly. Jackson sneered lowly, "You were fooled by Sophia and hurt Isabella countless times. Why didn't you have such an epiphany then?" He didn't leave. How could he miss the drama between Sophia and Aiden? Aiden's anger was already at its peak, and Jackson's sneer added fuel to the fire. He strode towards Sophia, knelt down. "Aiden, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied to you, but I really love you..." Sophia supported herself with her hands, looking up at Aiden. Her tearful eyes and panicked expression made her look pitiful. Isabella was different. Isabella would never have explained so much to him. Thinking of Isabella, Aiden felt an uncontrollable pang of pain, not just a moment, but like a wave of seawater sweeping over him. I
She was like a madwoman, her face twisted with fury. Yet Aiden did not even glance at her. He even felt nauseated. The once fragile and afraid woman who depended on him had turned into such a hideous creature. She had resorted to any means necessary to achieve her goals. Isabella and her father, Lucas, were innocent from the beginning to the end. It was Sophia's aunt's unwarranted delusion that led Sophia step by step to her current state. They were even kept in the dark, adopting Sophia and providing her with a rich life like a daughter of a wealthy family. Some people are indeed ungrateful wolves in sheep's clothing. It was just a pity that Isabella had died innocently. When Sophia spoke of Isabella, his heart felt a heavy pain, as if an invisible giant hand was squeezing and twisting it. In the blink of an eye, it was already torn apart. And then, the words Isabella had once asked him echoed in his ears. She had mocked coldly, "Aiden, I once asked you, if one day you know
Isabella, who was standing nearby, heard these words and felt a heavy pain in her heart. Jackson angrily spoke these words, his anger boiling over, and every word was like a dagger to the heart. Aiden had no defense and nodded in confession, his voice hoarse: "Yes, what he said is true. I admit everything. Sophia's scheme, my going along with it, led to the deaths of Isabella and her father." Aiden's lips were tightly pressed together, his face is heavy, and his black eyes were as lifeless as death. He, who had once been so high and mighty, was now bowing his head in confession here. "He even abused Isabella within the marriage. Such a person using his power to torment a woman to this extent should be punished by the law!" Jackson's eyes flashed with anger as he slammed his hands on the desk. Jackson's love for her, she always knew. That he would come all this way, across oceans, just to clear her name was more than she could ever have imagined. And Aiden? Apart from silence an
Jackson was determined to prosecute Aiden. However, he never expected that the female forensic pathologist who personally submitted Isabella's autopsy report would intercept him at the police station entrance. Unlike Aiden, Jackson was not cold-blooded. "What do you want?" Although the police officer had addressed her earlier, Jackson's attention was completely focused on Aiden, intent on seeking revenge for Isabella. In his eyes, no one was as important as Isabella. His heart was filled with Isabella. "Yeah." Grace nodded, biting her lip, hesitant and unsure of how to begin. She wanted to persuade Jackson not to pursue the matter too deeply. Otherwise, she feared that Jackson would only end up getting himself into trouble and in danger. However, as a stranger and a highly respected forensic pathologist, how could she advise him? "Speak." Jackson replied in a low, hoarse voice, with a friendly attitude. "Jackson, regarding Isabella's case, let's see how many years Aiden g
"I am Isabella Jackson indeed. Do you still remember when I fell into the pond when we were young and you saved me? Besides, I cried bitterly because of the death of the little dog, and you promised me that you would raise many little dogs for me in the future. We buried that little white one..." This is the childhood of Isabella and Jackson, only Isabella knows about it. You should know that since Isabella married Aiden, she has only been Aiden's wife. Where could she have other friends? Moreover, Aiden has already misunderstood the relationship between him and Isabella. How could Isabella possibly tell these things to someone else? And, the woman in front of her is a forensic scientist. Isabella has been afraid of animal carcasses since she was a child. How could she possibly deal with such a person? The woman opposite has such devout eyes. "Are you really Isabella?" Jackson let her go, grasped her shoulders, and looked at her incredulously. Even her voice trembled. Perhaps,
Jackson gripped Grace's shoulders, "God has taken you away once before. I let you go before, which led to the start of your tragedy. This time, I won't let you go! I want to be with you!" Jackson's firm words did not give her a chance to speak. He had already let go of her and driven away. He drove to the old square and pulled her out of the car. Then, in the midst of the crowd, he knelt down on one knee, holding her hand with one hand, and in the other hand, he held a small heart-shaped box. In the blink of an eye, the heart-shaped box opened, and the ring inside refracted multi-colored light under the sun. "Grace, marry me." Jackson looked up at her with devout eyes. Grace's eyes were surprised, looking at Jackson who suddenly knelt down on one knee, holding the ring in his hand. She was slightly stunned. Seeing the man in a well-tailored suit, his inherent elegant demeanor was very charming. His handsome face wore a shallow smile. He was waiting for her answer. Grace's fin
"The knowledge she learned is clearly presented in my mind, but I'm afraid of seeing those bodies. Jackson, after I resign and this is over, I will leave this place." There was nothing in this city that she could hold onto anymore. The moment she finished speaking, Jackson raised the corner of his mouth and said, "No matter where you go, I will be with you!" His gaze was firm and resolute. "I want to be alone." Grace coldly refused. She knew Jackson's personality too well, and she couldn't let him give up everything for her and go away with her. "...Okay." Jackson had more to say, but looking at her expression, he ultimately held back his words. He thought, there would be plenty of time in the future. No matter what, he would follow her. Everything was as she had expected. The autopsy report on her, as well as the lawsuit against Aiden, involved too many complications. Aiden's parents found her immediately. The meeting was very direct, with them handing her a check and ge
"And what of it?" Grace gave a bleak smile. What hadn't she experienced in prison? Besides, what would she know if she died? Aiden's parents saw Grace's stubbornness and knew that she was an upright and unyielding person. They had originally planned to threaten someone else in the family, but Grace was all alone. "You should really consider carefully..." Aiden's mother was just threatening Grace, but her phone rang, it was from the police station, about Aiden. Aiden had previously refused to see them, but he had now changed his mind and asked someone else to tell them, "My son asked me to tell you that if he doesn't see you today, he will kill himself!" "He said that since his wife is already dead and he is now considered a criminal, he has lost all hope." Losing all hope meant that he was determined to die. Aiden's mother could not bear to watch Aiden die like that. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought so many people, only Grace, just to persuade Grace to relent. "We'll l
