Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 398

Chapter 398

Owen had already checked–Maverick was no longer in the Kanit City rehab center.

The Todd family had taken him away, but to where, no one krew

Whenever anyone tried to ask about Maverick, the Todds shut them down.cold

Maverick had a former apprentice, too a falling out over the handover of Todd School left him on his own, running a small traditional medicine clinic in some quiet little town, completely removed from the world.

Aria had spent years with that old doctor, and he always sow through people there was no way he wouldn’t notice Culver’s true motives.

Aria herself had dug into Culver’s past he’d studied modern medicine in Masmubia, picked up traditional medicine as a second degree, stayed to work in Masmubia after his PhD, then came home five years later to take up a local post

Eventually, he became Maverick Todd’s disciple.

Thanks to his time abroad, Culver had stayed in close touch with his old hospital in Masmubla.

Ramon sighed, “It’s a pity–he found the National Doctor’s Seal but not the ancient medical books. The Todds are pretty disappointed.”

Aria suddenly asked, “Is Culver really going to resign?”

“He is,” Ramon nodded, using Culver’s name directly. “He’s not really a Todd, you know. The only reason he’s allowed to take over is because they value the line of succession–there are strict rules. Culver has to leave the Provincial Traditional Medicine Association before he can take over Todd School”

Aria nodded, weighing her next move. “Thank you for telling me all this.”

Ramon smiled gently. “You don’t need to thank me.”

The Todds must’ve examined that seal closely. They’d never mistake a fake.

Publicly announcing Culver’s succession might be part of another plan. Maybe they were medical books, too.

Either way, Aria was content to wait until they made their next move.

She glanced at Owen, then, right in front of Liam, asked directly, “Any news on Hannah’s case?”

The air instantly changed–especially for Liam, who looked like he’d been slapped.

They’d just been discussing Culver, and suddenly the topic had twisted back to Hannah.

Aria did it on purpose.

She claimed not to care, but obviously she did.

Aher the flash of anger, Liam couldn’t help but feel a strange flicker of hope. Maybe Aria still cared about him.

Owen paused a second, then replied, “The Gibson family is just buying time, but it’s only a matter of time before she’s convicted. She’s not getting away.”

Aria nodded, almost thoughtful. “Let them stall The longer this drags out, the more charges there’ll be

Owen’s lips curled into a faint smile–she’d called it “my things”

Now Ramon was really starting to catch on.

The topic had gone from Culver taking over Todd School, to Hannah, to extra charges, to Aria saying the needed her property back.

Ht thought, “Wait. Could Hannah have taken something hom Arial The seal? Was that seal actually Aria’s?”

His eyes went wide as the realization hit.

Liam, thoroughly confused, finally blurted, “What do you mean, more charges? What did Hannah do?”

Aria looked at him coolly.

Owen’s smile deepened, “We should go.”

“Yeah” Aria tumed to Ramon, “See you, Ramon.”

Ramon was still reeling, but managed a wave. “Take care.”

The group split up.

He couldn’t help but think, ‘They really do look good together. Whatever he’d been hoping for quietly dissolved.

Liam forced himself to move on, but Hannah’s strange behavior that night lingered in his mind.

pcracked through the air, landing hard across Russell’s back, leaving bloody stripes.

He knelt, every muscle rigid, lips pressed tight, eyes blazing with suppressed rage

“Russell.” Olivia tried to rush forward, but the man next to her caught her arm, smirking, “Olivia, the more you beg, the worse it gets for him.”

She ignored him, shouting toward the front, “Father, that’s enough!”

But the whipping continued. Russell never made a sound.

After ten lashes, the punishment was over.

Tyree Remar coiled up the whip and said coldly, “Do you admit your mistake?”

Russell released a breath. “I do.”

Olivia immediately hurried to his side, crouching to hug him–her hands pressing the fresh welts, making the pain worse.

“Dad, you went way too far,” she snapped, though her face showed no trace of real concern for Russell

Truth was, after their trip to Huthailia, Olivia was pissed at Russell.

She wanted him to realize–only she could truly help him.

He stared straight at Tyree as he spoke.

Tyree howned, then went silent, finally saying, “It’s been years–the chances the survived were always slim. If you get caught screwing up again, don’t bother coming back.”

With that, Tyree strode away

Olivia helped Russell up, all concem. “Russell, what’s going on?”

He coughed, face blank, “Ludon’t know.”

She tested, “Could it be Aria?”

“Don’t know.” Russell replied flatly.

A hard glint flashed in Olivia’s eyes–here, even in her own territory, he still refused to tell her anything.

Russell met her gaze. “You’ve traveled a long way: Go rest.”
