A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 207

Chapter 207 Make a Move Against Gustave

Avery looked flustered. He knew that he could not fool Darlene. Darlene finally knew that Sandra and Katrina harmed Reina.

But Avery could not admit it. He didn’t want to compromise with Sandra, but Sandra used Darlene’s life to threaten him.

At least before Avery figured out whether Nathen could donate his heart to Darlene, Avery could not call the police and accuse Sandra and Katrina.

Avery approached Darlene to comfort her. “What is done cannot be undone. Don’t think too much about it. Reina will get better slowly. You just need to take care of your body. The most important thing is to get a heart transplant.”

“That sounds really nice.” Darlene looked at him and sneered.

“Avery, I know you well. You have no emotions. You only value interests.

“Now that you know the truth, I’m afraid you can’t wait to make some dirty deals with Sandra, right?” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

A trace of displeasure appeared on Avery’s face. “I’m doing this for your good. Darlene, should take good care of your body. Other than getting a heart transplant, nothing else is important to you right now.”

Avery thought, I don’t care what is the truth behind Reina’s accident. So what if we find the one to blame? Compared to Darlene’s life, these are not worth mentioning.

As if he tried to convince himself, he added, “I’m doing this for your good.”

Avery had said this too many times. Darlene felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart. “I shouldn’t have come here from the beginning. It’s ridiculous that I want to hear the truth from you.

“Don’t worry. I will find out the truth and let Sandra and Katrina be punished. When the time comes, you will be imprisoned for protecting the crimes.”

Darlene did not want to waste a single word on Avery. She turned around and was about to leave when Avery grabbed her arm anxiously.

“Don’t investigate it. Stay here with me. You’re in such a bad condition. How can I be at ease if you leave me?”

Darlene walked to the door. One of her arms was grabbed by Avery. She used the other one to pull the door open.

Cyrus and Seth were still leaning against the door and eavesdropping. With the door open, they were stunned when they saw Darlene and Avery appear before them.

Cyrus and Seth coughed awkwardly and took several steps back. They immediately pretended to look elsewhere.

Darlene coldly pushed Avery’s arm away. “If you don’t have a guilty conscience, you won’t prevent me from the investigation. You don’t have any right to stop me now.”

Avery was anxious to stop her. “Darlene, I’m just doing this for your good.”

Just as he reached out his hand, Gustave, who was standing at the side, quickly walked over and pulled Darlene to his side.

Gustave’s voice was indifferent. “Since you’ve finished what you should say, then you

should take a good rest.”

Avery watched as they left. He coughed violently for a while. He anxiously said, “Gustave, do you know Darlene’s condition?”

Gustave held Darlene in his arms, turned around, and interrupted Avery. “From the beginning to the end, you were the only one who played dumb and wouldn’t accept

reality.”

After he finished speaking, Gustave left with Darlene.

Behind him was Avery’s desperate voice. “Darlene, I don’t know. I forgot about it. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I really forgot.”

Darlene left without looking back.

When she reached the end of the corridor, she saw Sandra and Katrina standing there. They could not keep their cool and secretly observed Darlene’s movements to determine if she knew anything.

Darlene looked over from afar. She couldn’t control her anger. Darlene wanted to rush over and interrogate them. She wanted to kill them to avenge Reina.

Gustave stopped her and whispered, “Don’t alert them yet. Sandra has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. Don’t worry. When we get enough evidence, they can’t escape.”

Because of anger, Darlene was a little out of breath. In the end, she held it in. She shifted her gaze away from Sandra and Katrina. Her eyes were a little red as she left with

Gustave.

Sandra looked at their backs as they left. When Darlene and Gustave were far away, she

said in a low voice, “They must have known.”

Katrina looked panicked. “Sandra, what should we do? Darlene probably has a guess. With no evidence, she can’t do anything to us. As long as Avery doesn’t pass the recording of our conversation to her, we will be safe.”

Sandra looked gloomy. After a long while, she said, “Darlene alone couldn’t do anything. After all, she has no power or influence. But with Gustave’s help, I’m afraid it

is not the case.”

Back then, Vivian was a powerful person who knew how to play tricks. She had always

been cautious and never left any flaws. After staying by Avery’s side for so many years,

she still had not let Avery find anything wrong.

But later on, Gustave exposed Vivian’s background, including the evidence of her bad

deeds a few years ago.

Gustave also helped Darlene with her divorce lawsuit a few days ago.

Gustave was not to be underestimated.

Sandra felt that if Gustave planned to investigate her, he might even find out all the bad

things she had done before.

Katrina said anxiously, “Then what should we do? Sandra, it’s fine if we hurt Darlene.

But Gustave is the CEO of the Walpole Group. He has a strong background. We can’t do

anything to him, right?”

Sandra touched the diamond ring on her ring finger as she looked at Katrina. “Katrina, don’t you think that we have exposed too many weaknesses to them? Now that we have been targeted by Gustave, we have to take the risk and do something.”

Katrina was on guard. “Sandra, you don’t want me to attack Gustave, do you? I dealt with Reina last time. But I wouldn’t dare to do the same thing to Gustave. He will kill me.”

Sandra lowered her voice. “Do you still remember Kynlee? She and my brother overheard our conversation about Darlene’s DNA test last time.

“She used to be in prison. She has the guts to kill people.”

As she spoke, Sandra leaned close to Katrina and whispered in her ear for a while. Then, she smiled at Katrina, “When the time comes, Kynlee will do it. It’s a win–win situation

for us.”

When Katrina heard this, she felt terrified. Her face turned pale as she said, “But can Kynlee be so stupid? Will she do it?”

Sandra combed the long hair by her ear and said with certainty, “You don’t have to worry about this. I have my own ways to make her do it. But you have to be calm. Don’t make trouble for me again.”

Katrina nodded repeatedly. She felt that Sandra was getting crazy. But now, Katrina had

no way out.

Darlene followed Gustave into the elevator. She always felt that someone was staring at

her from behind.

When the elevator door closed, she had a very bad premonition.
