The Wicked Wife's Dark History Keeps Coming Back To Haunt Her - Chapter 291
Perhaps it was because she had lived diligently after reincarnating.
She had completely forgotten that she used to be a master of threats.
If he didnât honestly say what was going on, she would think whatever she pleased.
Unless he intended to treat her like a fool, he should speak honestly.
After a light threat, Ash finally hesitated for a long time before confessing his worries with the exhausted expression of a defeated soldier.
ââŚDidnât you say that no one would do something like that unless they were insane?â
When Nina spoke in disbelief, Ash sat on the armrest of the sofa and let out a self-mocking smile.
âThat is why I was thinking she must be insane.â
That woman. He had already felt uneasy about her.
âI never imagined she would stab us in the back like thisâŚâ
Ordinary people tend to be intimidated by someone overwhelmingly superior.
And he was overwhelmingly superior to most people.
But the domestic investigator he saw that day couldnât hide the look in her eyes, even though she tried to maintain a poker face.
Displeasure? Hostility?
In any case, she clearly disliked House Bayern.
Perhaps her cold and rigid attitude had been for the sake of a fair investigation.
After all, an investigator must observe a case with objective eyes and record it.
But after seeing this letter, it seemed the hostility he sensed that day had been real.
Nina clicked her tongue as she read the investigatorâs letter.
âHow can someone be this malicious.â
To ask them to confirm with a doctor that the couple had consummated their marriage.
âIf we donât submit a medical opinion, there is a high chance a trial will be opened, right?â
Legal professionals determine facts through written words. They do not consider the emotions of the people involved.
What would be written in the report wouldnât be the humiliation and shame the parties felt. It would only state that they refused a supplemental investigation.
Since almost no noble lady would comply with such a rude investigation, it was clear that this move aimed to force the case into trial.
âWhy on earth is that woman doing this?â
As Ash said, this wasnât something Count Azelot could come up with on his own.
It was a cunning move born from the experience of a practitioner.
If the investigator hadnât intervened, she would have blocked such a request herself to prevent wasting administrative resources.
If she had truly investigated both sides, she would know this lawsuit should have been dismissed in the first place.
At that moment, Ash, who had been nervously watching her reaction just moments ago, suddenly turned cold.
âThat wonât happen. I donât intend to let it.â
âDo you have a plan in mind?â
As expected, he was someone who wouldnât yield even an inch when it concerned Ian.
When Nina asked carefully, he nodded.
âIâll make the supplemental investigation appeal disappear as if it never existed.â
âHow?â
âIâll tell you later.â
Judging by the killing intent that briefly passed through his gray eyes, it didnât seem like a peaceful method.
ââŚIf he tries to exert pressure on the court and something goes wrong, they might pick a pointless fight over it.â
If the Minister of Finance and Rebecca learned about this?
It would obviously become troublesome.
After thinking for a moment, she spoke with a determined expression.
âWhat if we bribe a doctor? We could forge the medical opinionâŚâ
âNo.â
He refused immediately with a stiff expression.
If they submitted a medical opinion to the court, there was a high chance it would later be included in archival records along with the written response.
Cases where a conjugal medical record was demanded in a guardianship trial were rare.
That meant it might be preserved as an unusual precedent.
âIâm fine with it. Itâs not like I would actually be examined, and even if the forgery were discovered later, the risk would be small.â
Ash wasnât unaware of that.
Even if the forged opinion were discovered, once the lawsuit was dismissed it couldnât be reversed.
It wouldnât be a decisive factor strong enough to overturn the courtâs decision.
Moreover, if it became known that such a demand had been made, the blame would turn toward the Azelot family for resorting to such a petty trick.
But.
âWife, whether it is real or fake⌠I have no intention of letting you undergo that kind of investigation.â
âStill, please think about it onceâŚâ
He wiped his face irritably with a sharp gesture and said,
âThe opinion will be kept by the court. Someone might read it someday.â
âNot just anyone can read it anyway, so Iâm fineâŚâ
He sighed, then spoke in a rough, hoarse voice, as if stained with soot.
âI have already given Hozi separate instructions, so let us pretend I never heard that.â
