Chapter 501


    He clenched his fists tightly, mming them against the wall with force. Blood trickled down the


    pristine white wall in an instant. His mind was consumed with images of ra locking herself in her


    room, sobbing uncontrobly.


    Since finding out she was pregnant, she had weathered so many storms, but just when things


    seemed to be getting better, fate dealt her another harsh blow.


    Ian felt as if countless knives were piercing his heart, blood gushing out. With a hoarse voice, he


    said, “ra, I’m right here. Please, talk to me about anything, okay?”


    Hearing his pleading voice, ra cried even harder. Tears streaked down her face as she looked at


    the door. Her voice choked. “Ian, please go. I just want to be alone. I won’t hurt the baby.”


    Her words struck Ian right in the heart. Thest person she wanted to see right now was him. She


    had effectively cklisted him.


    When Ian realized this, a deep, indescribable pain welled up in his eyes. He clenched his fists


    harder and replied sternly, “Okay, I’ll leave. I’ll ask Casey to take care of you.” He stood silently at


    the door for a long while before finally walking away.


    Casey saw himing down, blood still dripping from his hands. Worried, he asked immediately,


    “What happened to your hand? Did you and ra have a fight?” He quickly grabbed a first aid kit to


    bandage Ian’s hand.


    That was when Ian’s hoarse voice filled the air. “ra found out that Leonora is the one who killed


    her mother.”


    Casey’s movements froze. “How? Who told her? We’ve been keeping it a secret, afraid she’d


    be suspicious. I didn’t even attend the trial.”


    Just then, Dawson came over to report, “Mr. Hayes, someone sent a text to Mrs. Hayes with a video


    from the courtroom. The number was registered overseas and is now deactivated.”


    Dawson handed the video to Ian. When Ian viewed it, his eyes instantly turned cold. “We have


    checked every possible angle before the trial. There were no cameras. How was this recorded?”


    Dawson replied, “There’s only one possibility. The camera was on one of the spectators.”


    Hearing this, Ian reviewed the video again.


    After mentally going over the seating arrangement of the spectators, he confidently said, “The video


    should have been taken from the third row, near the middle. That’s where Dad and Katherine were


    sitting.”


    He immediately called Teo. “Dad, check if you and Katherine have any hidden cameras on you.


    Someone sent ra the courtroom video, and it seems to have been filmed from where you were


    sitting.”


    Hearing this, Teo felt a sudden tightness in his chest. “How is ra now?”

    “I don’t know. She’s locked herself in her room and won’t let me in.”


    Teo, furious, said, “That damned bastard is targeting me. Wait, I’ll check right now.”


    After hanging up, he looked at Katherine. “We need to check if there’s a hidden camera on us.”


    Seeing his grave expression, Katherine knew something was wrong. She began searching


    immediately.


    Every corner of her bag, every button on her clothing, she searched herself thoroughly but found


    nothing suspicious. Just then, Teo pointed at the hairpin on Katherine’s head. “Don’t move. It’s


    here.”
