Maya was terrified of Tobias but knew Lucy was his Achilles' heel. If she could successfully come between them, Tobias wouldn't go against the Hudsons. Otherwise, her time back at home would be a living hell.Tobias was taken aback by Maya's sudden accusation. At the same time, he was overwhelmed with rage. He retorted coldly, "Nonsense! I never did anything to you."Tobias feared Lucy would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "Don't believe her, babe. There is nothing between she and I.""Nothing? Then why am I in your bedroom? And why do I look like this?" Maya scoffed. "Ms. Everhart, he's cheating on you with me. Now, he wants to appear like a righteous man before you. You'd be a fool to believe him!""You!" Tobias was livid.Lucy's head throbbed as she looked at them.She had been shocked when Maya suddenly emerged from the bathroom. She had initially thought that Tobias had betrayed her, and her heart had been in agony.Then, Tobias' persistence had shaken her assumpt

A high-profile man like Tobias could have any woman at the tip of his fingers. However, since he had married Lucy, he had maintained the image of a good man and has kept his distance from women who fancied him. Plus, he only gave his love and affection to Lucy, and Lucy alone!When Maya had accused him, Tobias had been afraid that Lucy would misunderstand him. He had thought she would choose to believe Maya over him and had been disappointed.He had never expected Lucy to have astounding observational skills, and he was pleasantly amazed at how quickly she had found the loophole.Tobias' eyes shone without him realizing it. "Babe, I never knew you had such great deductive skills."Lucy smiled lightly, "I learned it from movies.""Really?"Tobias stared at her intensely, unable to believe what she said.Movies had no basis. How could she learn these skills by watching them? There must be something about her that he didn't know.Maya had never thought that Lucy would bluntly expo

A glint flickered in Lucy's eyes at Tobias' attempt to save their marriage.She didn't respond to it but continued to dissect the question earlier.Lucy said, "Your hypothesis is plausible. You confidently claimed that you never touched her. I started to suspect that it was all a scheme. "But why did the hospital visit's results indicate traces of your body fluids on Maya? Plus, Sasha and my bro—Brett did a check-up, and the results confirmed they were physically intimate as well. "For the life of me, I can't figure it out."Tobias was disappointed that Lucy had avoided talking about the divorce. He thought about her suspicions and said, "Did something go wrong at the hospital?"Confused, Lucy said, "Are you referring to the equipment at the hospital?"Tobias suddenly thought of something and sneered, "It might be a human problem."He had been in the business field for a long time and was way too familiar with such plots.Lucy asked in shock, "Are you saying that the hospita

The next day, Lucy fell from the bed last night and hurt her bone. Tobias left Finn to manage work matters while he personally took Lucy to the hospital for a check-up.He also wanted to investigate the incident relating to the fake reports.The doctor's face turned stern in the clinic when he looked at the results.Tobias anxiously said, "Doctor, how is she? Did her condition worsen?"The doctor said, "Mr. Ripley, Ms. Everhart's condition is stable, but I must remind you to reduce her movements. Otherwise, she would suffer from long-term effects.""Okay."Tobias and Lucy sighed in relief.The doctor continued, "Ms. Everhart, please return for a follow-up in two weeks' time. Then, you will need to undergo rehabilitative physiotherapy.""Okay."As they finished the check-up, Sasha and Emily were already waiting outside. When they noticed Lucy and Tobias, Sasha asked, "How is she? Is it serious?"Lucy shook her head. "The doctor said it's nothing serious and asked me to come ba

Tobias looked at the screen. The surveillance footage showed Joey bringing Maya to the hospital for a check-up. He could string together the entire process through the numerous security cameras.Moments later, Tobias saw a loophole in the footage. He asked, "There. Why did we lose her all of a sudden?""Let's switch to another security camera and see if we've missed out on anything, Mr. Ripley.""Do it, now!"Moments later, the technician said, "This lady finished her check-up around 10:30 pm, Mr. Ripley. She headed toward the restroom after that."Then, she came to a hallway intersection and used the staircase. It was an angle that the security cameras couldn't capture. "She stayed there for at least 20 minutes before she came out."That was ample time for Maya to bribe a doctor.Tobias asked, "Can you check who else went to the staircase in the same window?""Please hold on. We'll check again."The technicians stared at the screen until their eyes became bloodshot. Tobias

Heath stopped mid-sentence. He wanted to say it out loud, but he hesitated.Something seemed to be bothering him. He stuttered, "I-I think I saw something, Mr. Ripley. However, I can't seem to recall what it is."When Tobias heard what he said, his lips curled into a cold grin. He shot up from his seat and approached Heath. He exuded a cold and imposing air. Every step he took was akin to a thundering blow landing on Heath, who was extremely stressed.Heath was already sweating profusely just from withstanding the pressure of Tobias' overbearing presence. Tobias held Heath by the shoulders and whispered in the latter's ear, "Do you want to know what happened to the last man who lied to me?"He breathed against Heath's cheeks, looking not too different from a venomous python hissing threateningly at its prey.Heath was so terrified that his feet trembled. His forehead was covered in sweat. He gulped in fear and stuttered, "I-I'm sorry, Mr. Ripley. I didn't mean to lie to you,

"Maya is the adopted daughter of Quinton Hudson, the CEO of Hudson Group. According to my investigation, she was adopted when she was eight years old. "Quinton and his wife, Madeleine Dawson, have been married for a long time, but they couldn't have a baby for a long time. They listened to their elders' advice and adopted a daughter to bring good fortune to the household. "What's surprising is that Madeleine got pregnant with a son three years after they adopted Maya. "My findings confirm that Maya was cherished and loved by both her parents in the first three years. However, things went downhill after her younger brother, Luther Hudson, was born. "Her status was no longer the same after that. The neighbors frequently heard and saw Quinton abusing her both verbally and physically. He also humiliated her all the time."The silver lining is that Madeleine protected her all the time. However, she ended up being beaten by Quinton as well. "I'm not sure what happened, but Quinton

Tobias sat back on the director's chair and said with a solemn face, "Let him in."Moments later, Case led Kenny into his office. Fear flashed in the latter's eyes the moment he saw Tobias, but he quickly suppressed it.Tobias said, "Have a seat, Dr. Young. I have some questions for you.""You're renowned and powerful, Mr. Ripley. What business could you have with a commoner like me?""There's no need to be nervous." Tobias raised his eyebrow and said, "I'm going to ask you something. All you have to do is tell me the truth. I won't put you in a difficult position."Kenny's eyes darkened. "Do tell.""Do you know this lady?" Tobias pulled out a picture of Maya and put it on the table. Kenny shook his head frantically. "I don't.""You're lying."Tobias put pressure on him on purpose. "She came to the hospital for a check-up the morning before yesterday. She bribed you with a huge sum of money and asked you to tamper with her medical report."Maya has admitted to it. There's no
