    up for. Avery never felt that there was anything that could not be made.


    Avery added, “Isn’t there a list of the press? Contact them directly and ask them to delete all the relevant


    press releases.”


    Although much of the news posted on the Inte was released anonymously, Avery knew exactly which


    media outlets were involved.


    Cyrus said in a bad tone, “Even if we retract the stories of the first few media outlets, there are still


    countlessizens and anonymous users who have reposted and copied the contents of the news.


    Moreover, those things are almost well–known online.


    “If we withdraw the news at this time, not only will it not help, but it may also backfire, giving the


    impression that it is a deliberate attempt to cover things up.


    “It is like throwing a handful of sand into the sea. When the wind blows, the water rushes, and it is


    impossible to take back all the things that have been thrown out.”


    Although Cyrus only worked for Avery, he had stayed in the Gard’s ce for so many years and his


    impression of Darlene was not bad.


    During the two years when Darlene was married to Avery, she had never treated anyone in the


    Southwood Vi unfairly.

    At that time, Darlene still had work to do and had some money in her hands. Avery had a bad temper.


    Sometimes, when he lost his temper and scolded the servants, she would secretly give the servants


    some money and say that it waspensation from Avery.


    Cyrus thought, that kind little girl is good to everyone and always thinks for others, but


    in the end, she is the only one who suffers.


    When Darlene was bullied by Avery wrongly, none of the servants who had benefited from her in the


    Southwood Vi stood up for her.


    Darlene’s faint cries from the ward could still be heard. Avery sat silently in the corridor and took out a


    cigarette, wanting to light it up.


    Cyrus reminded Avery from the side, “Mr. Gard, you can’t smoke in the hospital. There are many


    patients in the corridor at this time.”


    Avery was in a very bad mood. He raised his eyes and nced at Cyrus, probably


    wanting to lose his temper.


    Cyrus was already prepared to be scolded, but Avery did not say anything. Avery put away the cigarette


    and sat in the chair without saying a word.


    Darlene’s cry stopped inside. Perhaps it was because Avery sat on the chair a little far


    from the door of the ward that he could not hear her cry.


    away


    Avery clenched his fists and pressed them against the edge of the chair. Suddenly, he found that he was


    a little afraid.


    At this point, it seemed that no matter what he did, it would be counterproductive. But the heart that


    matched Darlene was nowhere to be found. With so little time left, Avery really didn’t know what he could


    do.


    No matter what Avery did, it was wrong. But if he did nothing and just waited, Darlene would not take the


    initiative to return to his side.


    Avery was uneasy not seeing Darlene. He would always hallucinate over and over again, feeling that


    something had happened to her.


    Avery once saw in his hallucination that Darlene suddenly fell ill, lying on the cold operating table, and


    her heart had rotted.


    The doctor walked out of the operation room, bowed to Avery, and said to him, “I’m sorry, the patient is


    gone. Sorry for your loss.”


    I’m sorry for your loss…


    These words kept repeating in Avery’s mind, and his eyes turned red. Suddenly, he raised his eyes and


    stared at the closed door of the ward. “But I have to take you with me. How can I rest assured if I don’t


    keep you with me?”


    Avery thought, if I cannot look at Darlene from time to time, what can I do if the news of


    her deathes?


    Avery believed that as long as he kept Darlene by his side, she would definitely not die and there would


    definitely be no ident.


    In the ward, Darlene slowly calmed down.


    Gustave brought Darlene a cup of warm water and continued to appease her, “When the divorce case is


    over, I will take you abroad. While looking for a match, we can get ready


    for an artificial heart transnt.


    you. You can


    “The winter in Baltimore is too cold. Let’s go to the south. It is very warm and like spring all year round


    there. There will be no trouble and no one will disturb have a good rest and live a peaceful life with your


    grandmother and brother.”


    Darlene reached out and took the water. Her palm was still trembling slightly.


    Gustave sat down beside Darlene. “Aurora, trust me. Everything will be fine.


    “People can’t always hide to escape. The more they hide, the more they will be bullied. I will gather


    enough evidence to ensure that you get a divorce smoothly.”


    Gustave noticed the syringe on Darlene’s arm got loose and took a cotton swab from the drawer to help


    her stop the bleeding. “I’ll call the doctor over.”


    Darlene looked at the back of her hand. In addition to the blood, there were also many


    bruises.


    Darlene had got too many intravenous injections in the hospital during this period of time, and there were


    too many needle eyes on the back of her hand.


    But Darlene knew in her heart that it was actually not much use.


    The snow–white cotton swab was stained with red blood. Darlene looked a little dazed. “I don’t want to


    stay in the hospital anymore. I don’t like it here.”


    The sickness, cough, death, and the smell of disinfectant were all not good for Darlene


    as a dying person.


    Gustave’s hand that was holding the cotton swab paused for a moment. He did not try to persuade


    Darlene and nodded. “Okay, I will take you home. You will feel morefortable at home. If you feel


    better, you can walk around.”


    Gustave kept his word and took Darlene out of the hospital that afternoon.


    There were only a few days left before the divorcewsuit started, and Gustave had asked Darnell to try


    to find more evidence, but it was still a little tricky to find.


    In the past few months, the rtionship between Darlene and Avery had broken down, and the ces


    that she stayed in the most were the Southwood Vi and the hospital.


    However, the Southwood Vi was Avery’s, and the hospital Darlene stayed in also


    belonged to the Gard Group. It was not easy to find the relevant surveince videos.


    Just as Gustave brought Darlene back, Darnell called, “Mr. Walpole, it is not easy to get the evidence. I


    think we will have to wait a few more days to think of a way.


    “I’ve just been called over by Mr. Cassius, and it’s not looking good for you. The board is about to meet


    to elect a new president. Why don’t youe over and take care of business here first?”


    Darlene was still looking forward to Gustave finding evidence for her, so when she was seated beside


    him, she subconsciously listened to what Darnell said on the other side of


    the line.


    When Darlene heard Darnell’s words clearly and saw that Gustave didn’t look good, she immediately


    said, “You should go to thepany first. My affairs are in no hurry.”


    Gustave did not respond. He looked slightly solemn. After a long while, he responded, “It’s only a few


    days before the divorce court starts. Don’t worry about thepany. Come back, and think of a way to


    find evidence from Avery’s side.


    “Tell Mr. Cassius and the board members that it’s all up to them. I won’t participate in the selection of the


    new president.”


    Darnell said urgently, “Mr. Walpole, this won’t do. Mr. Cassius has 30% of the shares of the Walpole


    Group, and plus 10% in the hands of Ricky, they will have exactly the same


    amount of shares as you.


    “And the board may be on your side, but if you abstain, the result will be self–evident.”


    Darnell wanted to go directly to the vi and take Gustave here. He lowered his voice, “You shoulde


    over. How can you let Ricky take such a big advantage?”


    Gustave replied, “Darnell,e back first. Do as I say. I don’t have time for that right


    now.”


    Darnell had no choice but to agree.


    Darlene saw Gustave hang up the phone and was worried that something really happened. “Why don’t


    you go to thepany first? After all, it’s not a small matter.”


    Gustave turned on theputer and helped Darlene organize the files about the divorcewsuit. “It’s


    fine. I happen to need someone to watch thepany for me for two days.


    “Take a look at these photos. They are photos of Avery and Vivian. Take a look and see if there are any


    problems. Also, take a look at all the photos in this folder.”


    Gustave pushed theputer in front of Darlene. “There are only five days. This is the most important


    thing now.”


    Darlene endured her disgust and carefully looked through the photos one by one.


    The bad memories from the past shed back, and Darlene struggled to bear them.


    Gustave said from the side, “Just this once, you’ll never have to see any of this again.”


    Darlene nodded and sighed softly.


    Five days passed very quickly. Gustave did not go to thepany at all, and he had been collecting


    relevant evidence for Darlene.


    On the day of the court session, the first light snow fell at the beginning of winter in


    Baltimore.


    Darlene and Gustave went to the court together. As they walked from the square, they watched Avery


    get out of the car.


    Darlene thought to herself that she indeed hoped that it would be thest time she saw Avery as


    Gustave had said.
