Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 317 Brazenly Committing a Crime

Seeing Stuart's gaze directed at Alaric lying on the hospital bed, Stellan and Cormac instinctively blocked his view. "What happened to Mr. Knight? Did he beat Todd so badly that he ended up in the hospital himself?" Stuart's tone was filled with hatred.

"Stuart, I completely understand your pain as a father at this moment, but I still need to explain to you that Todd kidnapped me first. He tried to assault me. If it weren't for Alaric arriving in time, I would have been a corpse by now, raped and murdered." Stellan said.

"I also admit that Alaric did hit Todd, but given Todd's beastly behavior, who could hold back? And I can assure you that when Alaric and I left, Todd was still alive, and there was no fire. As for the reason of his death, you can ask the police to investigate; it has nothing to do with us," Stellan added.

When Stuart heard this, his face darkened, and his expression became particularly terrifying. He stepped towards Stellan, looking like he wanted to attack her.

"Stuart!" Cormac immediately stood in front of Stellan, looking at Stuart and asking, "May I ask what you are here for today? If you are here to visit Alaric, we appreciate it, but if not, please leave."

Stuart snorted angrily and said directly, "Alaric killed Todd. You ask why I'm here? A life for a life. Todd is dead, and I want Alaric to pay with his life!"

Stellan retorted, "You want Alaric to pay with his life? Then who should I go to when Alaric is still lying unconscious in the hospital bed?"

Stellan's emotions completely erupted, and she showed no sign of backing down. "You're sad that Todd is dead, but I'm even sadder that Alaric was innocently implicated. Who caused this situation? Wasn't it your lustful, lawless son? He brought this upon himself. We are the victims. If anyone should be seeking justice, it's us against the Vale Family, not the other way around!" Stuart thought that his barging into the Knight manor was something even Marigold couldn't handle, and now Stellan was being so brazen!

When Stuart heard Stellan's words, his eyes turned blood-red with anger, looking like he was about to strangle Stellan. Cormac stood firmly in front of Stellan, reminding him, "We've made it very clear just now that this whole thing started because of Todd. Now, Alaric and Stellan-one almost got raped, and the other is still unconscious. If Todd were still alive, he would not only be in jail, but the Vale Family would also owe us a huge compensation." Cormac went on, "Now that Todd is dead, his sins are offset, and we can forgo the huge compensation. We are the ones at a loss. As for how Todd died, the police will give you an answer. Even if it is confirmed that Alaric killed him, there will be a fair trial by law. It's not up to you to seek private revenge."

"Don't bullshit me! I only know that Todd is dead, and the person who killed him is still alive. I can't accept that. Don't mention the law to me. Even if I have to pay with my life, Alaric must die!"

With that, Stuart signaled to his subordinate, who quickly rushed towards Alaric with a knife, but Cormac intercepted him even faster.

The knife in the subordinate's hand slashed Cormac's arm, but even so, Cormac's grip didn't loosen, firmly controlling the subordinate's hand.

"What are you doing!" At this moment, a group of police officers rushed in, shouting at them, "Put your hands up!"

Following the police was Rowena, who had come over after hearing the commotion and quickly called the police.

"Stuart, we understand your pain, but you trespassed into the Knight Family's property last time and now attempted to commit a crime in the hospital. This is a serious violation of the law. Please come with us," the police said. Hearing this, Stuart laughed disdainfully and said, "Well, if you're calling me in for a little 'chat' at the station, I'm all ears. I'm genuinely intrigued to see what kind of hospitality Arizona has to offer." Stuart was a powerful figure, and Todd had inherited his lawless nature.

He completely disregarded the law.

"Mrs. Knight, you better take good care of Mr. Knight," Stuart said provocatively to Stellan. "His life is mine to claim."

With that, Stuart and his subordinate followed the police out, showing no sign of remorse.

Seeing Cormac's arm bleeding, Rowena hurriedly asked with concern, "Cormac, are you okay?"

Cormac seemed a bit evasive and said, "It's just a minor injury. I'm fine."

"Cormac, you should get it bandaged," Stellan said urgently.

"Okay."

Taking advantage of the hospital setting, Cormac made his way to the dressing room, where a doctor promptly attended to his wound and skillfully wrapped it in sterile gauze. Rowena waited outside the dressing room the whole time. Seeing Cormac injured made her uncontrollably heartbroken.

Was this her instinctive concern?

After Cormac finished bandaging, he walked out, and Rowena immediately stood up straight. She looked at him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After a few seconds, seeing Cormac about to leave, Rowena hurriedly called out, "Cormac."

Hearing her call, Cormac stopped and turned to look at her, still with a cold expression. "Miss Blaire, what do you need?"

Rowena bit her lip tightly, struggling for a while before saying, "I'm sorry for involving you in my personal matters last time. I've been wanting to apologize to you in person."

"It's okay," Cormac said. "I understand. Although the situation has cooled down a bit, you're still a public figure, and there are countless eyes on you. If they see us meeting alone like this, they'll make a big deal out of it. So to avoid these troubles, we shouldn't meet. If you must come to the hospital to accompany Galatea, try to come during the day. I'll come at night."

With that, Cormac walked away without looking back.

Hearing his words, Rowena felt a sharp pain in her heart. She knew Cormac was doing this for her own good.

'Cormac, why do you have to be so foolish?' Rowena thought.
