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 590: The arrival of the doomer:
Officers began moving toward the equipment area where tactical gear had been laid out for distribution, but General Carl Gerald held up his hand to stop them for one more moment."One more thing," he said, his voice quieter but somehow more intense. "I want each of you to take sixty seconds right now and think about why you chose this profession.”“Think about what motivates you to put on the uniform and take these risks. Think about the people you're protecting and why their lives matter enough to you that you're willing to put your own life on the line to defend them."The officers stood silently, some closing their eyes, all of them visibly engaging with the question General Carl Gerald had posed."Hold onto that motivation tomorrow morning," General Carl Gerald continued. "When the fighting gets intense and the situation becomes chaotic and you're tempted to panic or make decisions based on fear rather than training, remember why you're there.”“Remember that the patients in tha
Chapter 589: The game plan:
General Carl Gerald appreciated Phineas's attention to these details. Managing the information environment…controlling what hospital staff knew and didn't know, maintaining cover stories that prevented panic while still allowing necessary preparations, was just as important as the tactical positioning and equipment allocation."What about Doctor Anderson?" General Carl Gerald asked. "He needs to know what's coming so he can prepare medically, but he also needs to continue treating Sara and managing the secure ward without behaving so obviously differently that staff notice and start asking questions.""I briefed Anderson personally about an hour ago," Phineas reported. "He's aware of the threat and the timeline.”“He's quietly preparing emergency medical equipment and supplies in Sara's room so he can continue providing care even if normal hospital services are disrupted by the attack. And he's coordinating with senior nursing staff to ensure they're positioned to handle mass casual
Chapter 588: The Price of progress is pain:
General Carl Gerald let that sink in, seeing the growing tension in the officers' expressions as they contemplated these realities."And you're going to have to live with the outcomes of those decisions," General Carl Gerald said quietly. "If you shoot an attacker and the round passes through and hits a patient in the room behind your target, you'll have to live with that.”“If you hesitate to shoot because you're worried about collateral damage and that hesitation allows an attacker to kill a nurse or doctor who was just trying to do their job, you'll have to live with that too. There are no clean choices in this operation.”“There are only varying degrees of terrible outcomes and the hope that we can minimize harm while accomplishing our mission."The room was absolutely silent now, every officer confronting the moral complexity of what they were being asked to do."I'm telling you this not to demoralize you or make you second-guess yourselves," General Carl Gerald continued. "I'm
Chapter 587: DefCon mode:
"Five officers will be positioned directly around Sara's room with the mission of keeping her alive regardless of what happens elsewhere in the building.”“This team will include myself, Lieutenant Chen, Sergeant Rivera, and two tactical officers with hostage rescue experience.” General Carl Gerald immediately continued.“We'll have prepared evacuation routes and secure fallback positions. If the attackers breach the fourth floor and threaten to overrun Sara's position, we extract her to a secure location and hold until reinforcements arrive from the mobile reserve force."Lieutenant Chen studied the schematic carefully. "Sir, the fourth floor has multiple stairwells and elevator access points. If the attackers coordinate their approach, they could hit us from several directions simultaneously. How do we prevent being surrounded?""We don't prevent it," General Carl Gerald said.“We accept that possibility and plan for it. The close protection team will have defensible positions estab
Chapter 586: Intelligence wasted:
"Limited intelligence on specific individuals," General Carl Gerald admitted. "But based on the professionalism demonstrated in other operations The Architect has coordinated…the funeral attack, the imposter infiltrations, the sophisticated tactical planning…we should assume we're facing operators with military-grade training and equipment.”“Think former special forces or private military contractors rather than street-level criminals. These will be people who know what they're doing and who won't hesitate to kill anyone who gets in their way."Sergeant Marcus Rivera spoke up, his voice carrying the gravelly tone of someone who'd spent years shouting orders on training ranges and in combat zones. "General Carl Gerald, with all respect, ten against fifteen seems like reasonable odds for us. We outnumber them and we'll have defensive advantage. What makes this operation particularly challenging beyond just the civilian environment?"It was a fair question from someone whose military
Chapter 585: The Midnight Dancer:
The two hours that followed the emergency briefing passed with the kind of controlled urgency that characterized high-stakes military operations in their preparation phases. The Elite Division headquarters building…normally a place of methodical routine and bureaucratic process…had transformed into something that more closely resembled a combat forward operating base. Every floor hummed with purposeful activity as officers gathered equipment, reviewed tactical plans, coordinated with their assigned teams, and mentally prepared themselves for the violence that would erupt when the sun rose in approximately thirteen hours.General Carl Gerald stood in one of the secure conference rooms on the seventh floor, surrounded by maps, facility schematics, equipment manifests, and the organized chaos of operational planning. The hospital defense team had assembled as requested…fifteen officers whose files and service records suggested they were the best possible choices for the unique challen
