At that moment, Nolan pulled up some information on Dr. Steel online. Then, he passed Simon his phone and said, “This is Dr. Ganter Steel.” Simon had a look and was shocked by the information. Dr. Steel was a prominent figure in the field of therapy and was currently serving as the director of a famous hospital. Seeing Austin’s credentials put Simon at ease about trusting Austin. As the prized protege of Dr. Ganter Steel, Austin must have exceptional skills. Curious, he also did a quick search on Austin’s background. After reading a few results, he understood why the psychologist said Austin was a little unconventional. Apparently, Austin had worked closely with his mentor regarding a condition called ‘Imaginary Love’. His way of treating the condition was special because he would make his patients confront the very situations that had triggered their issues in the first place. It was cruel at first, but his therapy sessions worked. After his little research on Austin and D

“Sigh.” After the sigh, Nolan said, “They’re dead. Jeremy’s family wasn’t that wealthy. His mother was sick and needed the money for surgery, so Stephen gave him money and had Jeremy work for him. “However, the surgery failed, and his mother died. Jeremy held a simple funeral for his mother on that day and then came back to Stephen. “Stephen thought he saved Jeremy’s mother with the money, so he kept mentioning it, hoping to keep a leash on Jeremy. “It was only after he executed Jeremy that he found out Jeremy’s mother had died a long time ago.”Austin knew there was more story behind it. He pulled a chair to sit down and propped his forehead on his hand, his lips pursed. The situation sounded challenging just hearing about it. In fact, even his mentor might not have seen something like that before, let alone himself. “That’s not all.” At that moment, Rachel returned to the ward. “He didn’t become like this overnight. He has been through a lot in the past.” “What?” Aus

Austin was stunned. He turned to Rachel, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead. For the first time, he was truly afraid. There was more than one problem here! He took a deep breath and said, “Would you mind elaborating?” Rachel slightly lowered her head. “I lived under the same roof with him for three years, but when he found out I had to marry Stephen, he left me. “On the day of the wedding, I went to him in my wedding dress, but he refused to take me away. I want him back in my life.” She told Austin about her history with Ethan, but most were false. She was the one who betrayed Ethan, but she said Ethan left her. Austin found himself in a difficult spot again. He knew Rachel was married to the man inside the room, on the bed, and be it the man’s status or background, almost no other men in Riveria could beat him. As for Ethan, he only knew the man from what he had read online. Ethan was a criminal whose actions had caused chaos and destruction. The man should be exec

Chapter 474

George said, “I know what happened. I also feel terrible for Jeremy’s loss, but I know you never wanted it to happen. “He sacrificed himself for Hill City, and I’m sure he wouldn’t want to see you like that—broken and devastated. If you feel guilty about it, the least you can do is keep this city safe. Besides…” George then moved to the side, allowing Stephen to look at Rachel, Nolan, Austin, the doctors, and the nurses. “You have them. These people care about you. You’re never alone.” As soon as his words settled in, Simon walked in. Stephen started weeping when he saw the people around him. “You’re up?” Simon said excitedly, “I have good news for you. I’ve got a lot of letters for you, and one of them is from Snow.” Stephen’s eyes widened. “Where is it?” George shifted uncomfortably, while the light in Rachel’s eyes dimmed. She could not understand why she, coming from a well-respected and prominent background, was not enough for Stephen. Why was Snow, just an ordinar

“Huh? This criminal is living in a mansion?” Austin frowned. He went closer and noticed the gate was wide open. “They don’t even have anyone guarding the place? Aren’t they worried he might escape?” Austin entered the mansion and immediately saw two people in the living room. One of them was young and handsome, sitting on the couch, and the other was a middle-aged man, standing respectfully opposite the young man.The middle-aged man was Liam, the chief of police. Ethan had called him over yesterday to arrest Rory, and today, Liam was back to finish up some paperwork. Catching Rory had been a major achievement. Hearing footsteps, Liam turned around and spotted Austin. Not recognizing him, Liam assumed he was a friend of Ethan’s and quickly wrapped up his notes.“That will be all. I’ll be on my way,” Liam said, gathering his things to leave.Rory was sentenced to death already, but Liam wanted to interrogate him more, hoping to get more information. Austin watched as Liam

Chapter 476

Ethan said calmly, "Even if he can't take it, that has nothing to do with me. By now, Jeremy should have arrived in Hill City." Jeremy's involvement and Andy's peacemaking operations both required money, so Andy planned to ask Stephen for another 10 to 20 million dollars. Since Jeremy was now working with Andy, he would go along with Andy to make the request.Austin's body immediately tensed up. "What? Jeremy is at Hill City?" His worst fear had come true. He had to hurry back to Hill City to stop Stephen from meeting Jeremy. The sight of Jeremy could trigger something devastating for Stephen, just like with Snow. Even though she was still alive, he could never find her. His guilt grew with each passing day, weighing heavier on him until the day it would break him entirely.Austin understood that feeling all too well. As a psychologist, he had seen many patients who developed psychological issues due to relationships. One patient’s words still stuck with him. "The day she die

Andy was expressionless. He felt no sympathy for Stephen’s current state. All of that was Stephen's own fault. "I'll be leaving soon, so I won't sit down. Anyway, I'm short of money, so give me 20 million dollars." The smile on Stephen's face immediately froze. Not a single word of concern but just a demand for 20 million dollars right off the bat from Andy cut Stephen deep. "Why should I give it to you?" Stephen asked in a low voice. Andy replied, "Let's not talk about how you almost killed me, but I know everything about what happened to Jeremy. You killed a hero and even destroyed the evidence. What do you think would happen if everyone were to learn the truth?" Stephen's expression darkened. "You're blackmailing me." "It depends on your decision. If you give me the money, things will be fine, but if you don't, then it won't be." Andy was not scared of him. He was no longer the naive and clueless boy who used to call Stephen his good friend. He had been through enough

Chapter 478

Nolan ran out when he heard Stephen. He knew Stephen must have seen Jeremy. “They can’t meet!” He held Stephen back tightly, saying, “Sir, calm down! Jeremy is dead! You’re seeing things!” “I’m not seeing things! It’s real! I saw him just now! He went into the elevator!” Stephen argued as he tried to free himself from Nolan’s grasp. “Let go of me!” Nolan cried, “Doctor, nurse! Hurry!” The doctors and nurses ran over to hold Stephen back. They knew Jeremy was dead and strongly believed Stephen was hallucinating due to the guilt and pressure. One of the doctors even brought sedatives over, trying to calm him down. “Let go of me!” Stephen was shocked and scared when he saw the syringe. He knew he saw Jeremy earlier and refused to let the doctors and nurses hold him back. “I am Stephen Quinn. I order you to let go of me!” He used his identity to pressure them, forcing them to release him. Upon being freed, Stephen got into the elevator and went downstairs. Nolan, the

“You’ve lost your mind.” Ethan’s words cut through the air like a knife, and a chill ran down Stephen’s spine. He thought of the doctors and nurses and how Nolan looked at him yesterday. “Impossible!” Stephen shook his head in denial, hoping to shake the doubts away. He was not crazy. He knew no one believed him, but if he started questioning himself too, then it would all be over. “I’m fine. I’m sane. I’m awake! I’m not crazy. You’re just messing with me!” Stephen shouted. Ethan smiled. “You know better than anyone if Jeremy is dead or not. You’re the one who killed him. You watched him die.” Stephen felt a punch in his soul. Images of Jeremy’s lifeless face, his cold, empty eyes, flooded Stephen’s mind once again. He panicked, his breathing hurried. “He’s not dead. You must’ve saved him!” Stephen said, his resolve beginning to crack. “Tell me where he is!” Ethan said, “You know the answer to that question better than me. You’re the one who chose his burial spot. Why

Chapter 480

Austin was glad he told Stephen that Jeremy was still alive because he could use it to save Stephen. “Ethan certainly did not expect his own cleverness to backfire on him.” Stephen’s hopeless eyes gleamed and slowly regained focus. “Are you sure?” Austin glanced cautiously at Ethan and said, “I am.” On the way here, Austin could not stop thinking. Stephen had everything—wealth, power, and influence. With just a single word, Stephen could achieve a level of success that most people could not even dream of, so why had he been completely devastated?When he saw Stephen collapse on the floor, losing his mind, while Ethan sipped on his tea calmly, he knew the answer. It was all because of the man before his eyes. He helped Stephen up. After taking a deep breath, he looked at Stephen. “Why are you pushing him this far? This is too much!” Austin was furious. Ethan was a criminal, and Stephen was the one who governed Riveria. Stephen’s well-being would affect the lives of mill
