Two Brides, One Tragic Twist

I noticed that even Hannah's jaw was beginning to tremble, and she had broken out into a cold sweat.

However, the perpetrator had not yet been found, so I did not want to waste time scaring her.

Instead, I simply asked Jack and Harvey to follow me into the courthouse to go through the divorce procedures.

As soon as I said that, the color drained from Jack's face.

He hemmed and hawed for a while but ultimately did not manage to get a single word out. He didn't even move from his spot.

He glanced at Harvey, who immediately understood what he was trying to convey and said, "I'm going to look into the reported case. From what my colleagues told me, the person who made the report was very anxious."

He then turned to Iris and hesitantly asked, "Can I explain myself to you after I get back from work? Please wait patiently for me at home, honey. Divorce isn't a trivial matter, and I really do have a case I need to handle at my workplace right now. So let's find another time to discuss this after I return."

With that, he turned around without giving Iris any chance to refuse, but I stopped him before he could take more than a few steps away.

"I was the one who made the report," I revealed, lowering my head and taking the police report form out of my bag to show to him. "The case can wait, so complete the divorce procedure first."

Harvey's expression changed when he saw the form in my hand. "Are you saying that the car crash you were in was a result of attempted murder, Yvonne? What exactly is going on?"

Jack's expression turned solemn as well.

He frowned heavily and warned, "I know you feel bad about losing the child, but Harvey is busy with actual work at the station, so stop causing trouble. The consequences of making a false report aren't something you can handle!"

Even now, he still thought that I was stirring things up out of jealousy.

I smiled mockingly and asked, "Who do you think you are? Would I need to forge

a police report form just to deceive you? Aren't you thinking too highly of yourself?

I want to divorce you right now, not coax you into buying me gifts.

"Can you not comprehend the situation, or do you just not understand human speech? I'm in a hurry to get divorced, understand?"

My words pushed him over the edge.

He glanced sharply at Harvey, wanting to hear confirmation from him that the police report form was forged.

However, Harvey shook his head at him. "It's genuine. That's a police report form from our station with my colleague's handwriting on it."

Jack's eyes simmered with anger at being publicly humiliated, but he stubbornly continued to argue.

He snorted coldly and said to me, "I can understand that you feel bad about losing the child, but divorce is no small matter. If it's a child you want, there'll be plenty of chances to have another one in the future.

"However, if we get divorced, you can forget about ever getting back together with me! I'm a man who never looks back.

"I can indulge some of your whims, but I have my limits. It doesn't mean that you can threaten me with divorce!

"You're already an adult, so you should know that accidents happen all the time! How many accidents do you think happen every day? Even if I had managed to arrive on time that day, do you think I'd have been able to save the child's life? Can you please be more rational?

"It's not like I wanted the accident to happen either, so why do you blame everything on me? Furthermore, you're even causing Harvey to get divorced too!"

After he was done with his habitual accusatory speech, Hannah smiled smugly.

I was so angry that my chest heaved violently.

I did not think that even up until this moment, he lacked the courage even to admit his own mistakes!

This was the man I had loved for four years!

How could a human be this heartless?

Iris beat me to the punch and started yelling at him first. "Yes, the child is gone because of you! You and your first love completely deserve the blame! Two scumbags and a scheming bitch-the three of you really disgust me!

"Didn't I already tell you? Whoever refuses to get divorced today is the other person's bitch! Are you saying that you want to be my bitch? Well, your owner here doesn't even want you!"

Her words succeeded in angering both Jack and Harvey.

Harvey immediately rushed into the courthouse with the divorce documents in hand. As he passed us, he snapped, "What right do you have to criticize Jack? Fine! If it's a divorce you want, it's a divorce you'll get! I've already put up with you two for a very long time!"

Half an hour later, as Iris and I held our divorce certificates in hand, we felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from us.

We stood outside the courthouse, looked at the sky, and sighed lengthily.

We planned to visit the shopping mall together and use the funds we had been allocated through the divorce settlement to go on a shopping spree to let off some

steam.

After Harvey exited the courthouse, he immediately returned to the police station to investigate the case.

Hannah wanted to follow him, pretending that she was concerned about his state

of mind, but Jack insisted on sending her home to rest.

He said that he felt bad for her because she was tired from their trip.

I could clearly see the panic and nervousness in her eyes.

I sneered inwardly.

However, Iris saw my cold expression and assumed that I was upset.

She hurried to comfort me. "It's alright. Once the police check the surveillance

feeds and discover that she's the real culprit, we'll see how she'll keep up the act!"

Her words warmed my heart. I

pulled her along to hail a taxi and head to the mall, where we shopped until we could not walk anymore before returning home with our hands full of shopping bags.

As I lay on the couch, I was filled with emotion.

Women truly were a wondrous species.

We were physically weak but could lift shopping bags that weighed dozens of pounds.

Human psychology really did have a regulating effect on the body.

When I looked at the pile of new clothes on the floor, it felt like I was no longer so mentally exhausted.

Fortunately, my body had not changed too much from my pregnancy.

If I maintained my figure now, I could quickly return to how it looked in my prime.

Before I could completely relax, I received a call from the police station.

Upon answering the call, I heard Harvey's voice from the other end of the line.

I looked up at Iris, who rolled her eyes forcefully and retreated to her bedroom.

"The surveillance camera at the intersection just outside the hospital happened to be broken on the day of the incident," said Harvey. "We really can't find any clues. Can you recall any other details about the incident? Think about it."

I immediately realized that something was amiss. How could such a coincidence have happened?

The day I picked up my report at the hospital was the same day the surveillance camera happened to be broken, and I ended up in a car crash.

The truth behind the incident might be far more frightening than expected!

With that thought, I directly asked Harvey, "Is there anyone else who knew about

the surveillance camera being broken?"

He was briefly silent before replying, "Only the hospital staff should know about it. remember them saying that they were afraid of patients' families making a fuss over it, so they requested that any repairs to

the surveillance cameras be done at

night when nobody was around.

"Logically speaking, it's even more unlikely that they would publicly announce it..."

I pondered the implications of his words.

Only the hospital staff knew about it...

It was not impossible for Hannah to obtain information from Jack through the

clever manipulation of their conversation.

He had never been guarded against her anyway.

I proceeded to recall the scene of the incident carefully.

I barely managed to recall the license plate number of the truck that had rammed

into the taxi and recited it to Harvey, telling him to look into it.

I originally thought that by managing to recall the truck's license plate number, I

had already served the answer to Harvey on a silver platter.

However, as an entire day went by, the unease in my heart grew stronger.

As expected, I received a call from him later that night.

He informed me that the driver in question had resigned a few days ago.

I had exhausted my patience and could no longer suppress my emotions. My veins throbbed in my forehead as I exploded in anger.

I roared into the phone, "He resigned, but he didn't disappear off the face of thenoveldrama

world! Can't you find him? Aren't you a police officer?

"Are you guys investigating the case or making excuses for the perpetrator?

Believe me when I say that I'm perfectly willing to file a complaint to your

superiors!"
