Chapter 1

I had just hung up when my wife, Vivian Stone, arrived with Julian Blake and his younger brother.Julian looked at the body under the white sheet with open contempt."Nathan, if you ask me, that old man wasn't going to live long anyway. You've been harassing Vivian over a dead man on purpose. You're just trying to make trouble for us."Julian's brother, Caleb Blake, was even worse. He stepped onto the mortuary gurney without a hint of shame, then spat on the body."Exactly. If the dead thing couldn't stay alive, that's on him. I didn't do it on purpose. Why are you being so petty, Nathan?"Fury surged through me. I tried to stop him, but Vivian stepped in front of me and said impatiently, "Julian and his brother are only telling the truth. The man's already dead. There's no need to drag this to court."I looked at Vivian and suddenly felt as if I didn't know her at all.From the moment my father-in-law, Robert Stone, was hit until now, Vivian hadn't asked a single question.Whe

"Julian's brother didn't mean it. The body was going to be cremated with the trash anyway. There's no need to be so particular. What's there for him to be angry about?"Seeing the body pushed into the garbage, covered in filth and stinking so badly it made people gag, I laughed instead."Vivian, you're going to regret this."When she finally learned that the body she had degraded was her own father's, I hoped she could still be this generous."What do I have to regret?"Vivian covered her nose in disgust and did not spare Robert's body a single glance. She ordered me, "My time is valuable. I don't want to waste it on meaningless things."Hurry up and sign the forgiveness letter. Then I'll have your father's body fished out."Julian's brother has a bright future. It can't be ruined like this."I looked at her expressionlessly."Dream on."Robert had only caught Caleb Blake installing surveillance cameras in Vivian's room and tried to stop him.Caleb had deliberately rammed hi

"I won't give you any chance to interfere."Nathaniel, you brought this on yourself."After Vivian and the others left, I paid a large sum to hire people to clean and prepare Robert's body properly, send him to the funeral home, and set up a memorial hall.Then I took the divorce agreement drafted by my lawyer and went to find Vivian for her signature.At the door of the break room, a young nurse stopped me."Mr. Hayes, Dr. Stone and her assistant are resting inside. It might be... inappropriate for you to go in."Through the crack in the door came Vivian's moans and a man's heavy breathing. The nurse was so embarrassed she ran away.I took out my phone without expression. When the call connected, Vivian's cries became even more breathless."Nathan, Vivian's busy. She doesn't have time for you.""She told me to warn you not to use divorce to invalidate the forgiveness letter."After that, he deliberately moved the phone closer to Vivian. The sounds became even more explicit.

When I didn't react, Julian smiled."That pool is full of high-strength sulfuric acid. Given enough time, it'll corrode even the bones clean away."Whether your father's body stays intact depends on you."The floor must have been slippery, because the men carrying the body simply began dragging it.As they dragged him, an old surgical scar on Robert's lower leg was exposed.Robert had once told me that when Vivian was little, she insisted on playing at a construction site and got trapped in a steel frame.He had been injured saving her and needed dozens of stitches.Later, afraid Vivian would blame herself, he lied and said he had been hurt at work.Julian's pupils tightened. Then he pointed at the scar and said pointedly, "Vivian, Nathan's father really will do anything for money."It was bad enough that he used to dress like your dad. Now he even copied a scar. Who knows if it's real?"The hesitation on Vivian's face instantly became disgust."My dad's scar was from dozens

Vivian's expression froze completely. Realizing something was wrong, she urgently requested to review the case materials.The records clearly showed that the victim was her father.Her eyes reddened as she shook her head again and again."No. No, that's impossible. My dad was perfectly fine. How could he suddenly be dead?"With trembling hands, she called her father's phone.In the next second, a phone among the evidence began to ring.The ringtone was the piano blessing piece Vivian had personally recorded for her father.Tears fell from her eyes as she screamed at me."Nathaniel! You really went to so much trouble to get all these people to lie to me. You've gone too far this time!"He was just laughing and telling me a few days ago that he was coming to visit. How could he be dead?"I met her gaze expressionlessly, my eyes cold."I don't have the power to hire a judge to act for me. You'd better think carefully about the consequences of slander."Dr. Stone, are you still

They pointed at Julian and condemned him."No wonder he's the killer's brother. They're cut from the same cloth. Trying to use false testimony to get away with murder? Dream on.""Exactly. I think both brothers should be locked up so they can't hurt anyone else.""Vivian was blind to fall for this man. What a disgrace to the family."Julian swallowed, forced himself to calm down, and took out a forged psychiatric diagnosis."My brother suffers from mental illness. At the time of the incident, his mental state was abnormal..."He rambled on and on. His purpose was obvious: use mental illness to excuse his murderer of a brother.I laughed coldly.This was Vivian's backup plan.As her bedmate for many years, and as a professional lawyer, this psychiatric certificate looked like child's play to me.Vivian was proud of her connections.Coincidentally, I had plenty of connections too.It wasn't difficult to obtain evidence that Vivian had colluded with the psychiatrist, Dr. Harri

"Well? Total victory, right? Does it feel good?"Nora had entered the hospital in the same batch of doctors as Vivian.Because she couldn't stand Vivian abusing her power and worsening patients' conditions for no reason, Vivian had suppressed her for a long time.Nora had already submitted her resignation.But I needed someone inside the hospital to keep an eye on Vivian and Julian. Nora happened to come into view and even offered to help me.Her condition was that I had to expose Vivian's true face and ruin her reputation.At first, I hesitated.Later, after I learned Vivian thought the dead man was my father and still indulged the Blake brothers in doing those things, I made up my mind.If I still tried to protect her dignity, how would I ever face my own father?So I agreed and reached a smooth cooperation with Nora.Now that we had won, my heart still felt heavy.Nora noticed it immediately and said softly, "Is it because of Robert? Don't put all the blame on yourself. Y

Chapter 8

"You said you wanted to become a doctor, so my father used his connections to get you a training position under one of the country's top medical specialists. My mother felt sorry that studying medicine was so hard, so she made soups and tonics for you every day, changing the recipes constantly."Most of what allowed you to reach your current position was my family's support behind you."Otherwise, she would have had to take countless detours before reaching where she was.Vivian immediately denied it."Impossible. I reached this position through my own hard work. It has nothing to do with anyone else."I sneered."Yes, you worked hard. But are there not enough hardworking people in medicine? If my father hadn't stepped in, how could Dr. Quinn's training slot possibly have gone to a brand-new doctor like you?"My words left Vivian speechless.Her rise had been too smooth. Flowers and applause had surrounded her every step.It had made her lose sight of her own limits.Vivian s
