The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 431

All the memories tangled together, weaving a tight net around him until he could hardly breathe. At last, he lifted his head. The panic and resistance in his eyes faded away, replaced by exhaustion and a kind of quiet determination.

He drew in a shaky breath. His voice was rough, but there was no hesitation. “I… I’m ready to confess. I’ll tell you everything about what happened back then. All of it.”

The lawyer looked relieved and quickly grabbed a pen and notepad. Bailey closed his eyes, like he was searching through the past or maybe just saying goodbye to it. After a moment, he opened them again and began to talk about the deal from twenty years ago.

“Twenty years back, I’d just moved to Bridger Lake. I was struggling to get my business going. Nathaniel came to me… said he had a way to make real money. It was illegal organ trafficking.”

“The deals happened in an old warehouse on the west side of town. Nathaniel took care of finding the ‘supplies’ and reaching out to buyers. I put up the money, found the place, and handled any problems that showed up afterward.”

“It wasn’t just us. There was a middleman everyone called Old Ghost. He worked for Nathaniel, connecting the suppliers and buyers. And there were a few doctors Nathaniel brought in from out of town. They did the surgeries.”

The medics burst in with their gear, moving fast and calm. They started working on him right away—shocks, compressions, oxygen. Everything happened in a blur of motion.

Roman watched from the side, his brow deeply furrowed. This was bad. If Bailey didn’t make it, the truth about those old deals might never come out.

Meanwhile, in the hospital’s ICU, Nathaniel, who had been unconscious for so long, suddenly opened his eyes.
