2025-02-18 22:47:39Carl Gerald was dumbfounded, his jaw dropping in surprise and shock.
“What are you…what are you talking about Tiffany?!”
“Is this supposed to be some kind of joke or something?!”
He couldn't get himself to believe that his wife would actually decide to abandon him in a time like this when he really needed her the most.
“Please, this is not the right moment.”
Tiffany Raymond slowly smirked at Carl Gerald before beginning, her voice totally unapologetic and laced with derision.
“And who said that I have to pick a favourable moment to divorce you?!”
“I can choose to divorce you anytime and any day!”
“Carl Gerald, just take a good look at me, do you know how many men want to marry me?”
Tiffany Raymond asked as she turned around in her red gown which was really doing a good job accentuating her feminine assets.
Carl Gerald took a deep breath and stared at his wife.
“Is this how it's going to be…Tiffany …after all that I did for you and the Raymond's family?”
“Oh cut that crap!”
“Don't even try to make it seem like you did us a favour.”
“If you must know Carl Gerald…I have left the trenches and I left you behind, recently my company, Tiffany Group secured a whopping amount of five hundred million dollars deal with Tyler's Global Holdings.”
“Tyler's family is one of the top families in Northcliff city and you, you are a man of…Nothing!”
“Carl Gerald, I want nothing to do with you anymore!”
“Please sign the divorce paper immediately!”
Tiffany Raymond's voice was laced with a mixture of derision, mockery and anger as she vented it all out into the face of Carl Gerald.
“Tiffany, if you never loved me, why then did your father, Mr Raymond, come to ask me to get married to you?”
Carl Gerald asked almost immediately, his face was etched with a mixture of shock and bewilderment.
“Isn't it obvious, you luckily saved my life and my dad felt the only way to pay you back was to marry you!”
“Carl Gerald, listen to me, I never loved you, if you were the only man on the planet, I would rather marry a pig!”
Tiffany Raymond said angrily without sparing Carl Gerald any further looks.
“Carl Gerald…my father is no more, I have been climbing up the corporate ladders and I have big visions to achieve and I can't do that with you being a dead weight dragging me to the ground!”
“My career is about to take up to its peak and I don't want anyone around me pulling me down…especially you!”
“Now would you please sign these divorce papers immediately!”
Tiffany Raymond's words were straight and direct. Carl Gerald didn't need an interpreter to tell him that Tiffany Raymond really never loved him.
As he was struggling to process his wife's painful betrayal, a voice immediately rang into the ward.
“Tiffany, what is going on?”
“Why aren't you already having his ashes in a ceramic vase?”
“We ought to be celebrating by now…what's the hold up?”
Sebastian Tyler's voice was laced with a mixture of impatience and confusion as he walked into the ward.
His gaze immediately fell on Carl Gerald and he was immediately stunned with shock and bewilderment.
“Why is he still alive?”
“I thought…Carl Gerald was supposed to be dead!”

Chapter 552: Arrival at the Cemetery.
The morning sun cast long shadows across the manicured grounds of the National Cemetery, its golden light filtering through ancient oak trees that stood like silent sentinels over countless graves. The air carried that peculiar quality of enforced reverence that all burial grounds seemed to possess...a hushed stillness that felt almost sacred, broken only by the distant sound of cars arriving and the muted conversations of early mourners gathering for a service that would honor one of their own.General Carl Gerald sat in the passenger seat of the armored SUV, his hands resting on his knees, his tactical uniform immaculate despite the sleepless night and the emotional turbulence of the past forty-eight hours. The fabric was crisp, the insignia polished, the image of perfect military bearing. But inside, beneath the carefully constructed exterior of professional composure, he felt like he was being torn apart by competing obligations and crushing guilt.He had left Sara at the hospit
Chapter 551:
"I'm ordering a comprehensive drug level analysis," he explained as he worked. "We'll measure the exact concentration of every medication in Sara's system...the physostigmine, the metoprolol, the pain medications, everything. If Doctor Wade administered dosages outside the therapeutic range, we'll detect it.""How quickly can we get results?" General Gerald asked."I'm marking this as a critical priority," Anderson said. "The lab will process it immediately. Fifteen to twenty minutes for preliminary results, maybe thirty for the complete panel."Sara looked between her brother and the doctor, fear evident in her pale face. "Carl, am I... am I going to be okay? Did those fake doctors poison me again?"General Gerald squeezed her hand gently. "We don't know yet. But Doctor Anderson is running every test possible to make sure. And if they did administer something harmful, we'll counteract it before it can do serious damage.""I'm scared," Sara admitted, her voice small and vulnerable in
Chapter 550:
Her phone buzzed with a text from Phineas: "TRACKING KEYCARD USED TO ACCESS STAIRWELL. BELONGS TO MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR ROBERT JENKINS WHO IS CURRENTLY ON VACATION. CARD WAS REPORTED MISSING TWO WEEKS AGO."Two weeks ago. Right around the time when planning for attacks on the Elite Division would have been intensifying.Debra headed for the parking structure entrance, moving fast but trying not to create panic among the civilians in the hospital. As she approached the entrance, she saw General Gerald's vehicle screech to a halt at the security barrier.General Gerald and Phineas emerged from the vehicle at a run, both armed, both moving with the practiced efficiency of experienced operators."Status?" General Gerald demanded as he reached Debra."Lost visual when they entered the service stairwell," Debra reported. "They're either still in the building or they've reached the parking levels and are attempting to flee.""Phineas, security lockdown," General Gerald ordered."Already imp
Chapter 549:
"He was," Debra Zachs confirmed. "But he almost wasn't, because the witness was so scared she was considering backing out. The prosecutors were getting worried, thinking they might lose their key testimony. And then Juliet spent an entire evening just talking to this young woman. Not interrogating her, not pressuring her...just talking. Listening to her fears, sharing some of her own experiences, helping her understand that doing the right thing was worth the fear.""Juliet had a gift for connecting with people," General Gerald said."She did," Debra Zachs agreed. "And that witness ended up testifying, and the councilman was convicted, and corruption in that city government was significantly reduced. All because Juliet took the time to show compassion to someone who was scared and alone."She took another shaky breath, the memories pouring through her now like a flood she could no longer contain."I remember after the cemetery attack, after Juliet had been shot, when we were all waiti
Chapter 548:
"No," General Gerald interrupted. "Sara is my priority. Nothing...not duty, not honor, not strategy...nothing takes precedence over protecting my sister. If I have to miss Juliet's funeral to ensure Sara's safety, that's what I'll do. Juliet would understand. She died protecting people. She'd want me to protect Sara."The raw emotion in his voice struck Debra Zachs deeply. She'd worked with General Gerald for years, had seen him in combat, in crisis, in moments of triumph and tragedy. But she'd rarely heard such naked vulnerability, such absolute prioritization of personal connection over professional obligation."Debra, are you still there?" General Gerald asked when she didn't immediately respond."Yes, sir," she said, her own voice thick with emotion. "I'm here.""Then listen to me," General Gerald said more gently. "I trust you. I trust your instincts, your training, your dedication. You've been Sara's shield for the past hours when I couldn't be there. You've kept her safe, kept
Chapter 547:
"The imposter systematically compromised five different witnesses," Phineas said. "She fed their locations and new identities to the criminal organizations they were testifying against. Three of those witnesses were killed before we realized what was happening. The other two barely survived assassination attempts.""My God," Debra Zachs whispered."We only caught the imposter because she made a tiny mistake," Phineas continued. "She referenced a childhood memory that the real Sarah Morrison should have had, but got a detail wrong...the color of a bicycle she'd supposedly owned. One of Morrison's longtime colleagues noticed the discrepancy, thought it was odd, and mentioned it to security. That single observation led to a full investigation that uncovered the entire operation."General Gerald's voice cut in again. "Phineas is telling you this because I want you to understand something crucial, Debra. These kinds of sophisticated infiltrations are rare, but they happen. And when they h
