Outside the operating room of the best hospital in Aurum County, Warwick, whose face was bruised and swollen, stood anxiously outside the door, smoking.Hurried footsteps sounded from his right. When he turned to look, he saw Wyatt, who was pushing their family patriarch in his wheelchair, and a handful of relatives. “Warwick, how’s Charlie? How bad is it? Why are you injured too?” Wyatt looked shell-shocked.“Just what the hell happened?” Hunter asked, his eyes aflame with fury.“Father, I was careless. I didn’t expect that Garten bastard to be this skilled.” Warwick gritted his teeth.He recounted today’s events. Then, Wyatt clenched his fists and growled, “That asshole is a bully who’s gone too far. He’s treating our family as if we’re fruits for him to squash.”“Now that you’ve been suspended, what will you do?” Hunter asked with a cold expression.Warwick’s eyes blazed with murderous intent. “It’s better that I’m now suspended. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to crush that lit
The Beacon Clinic was ablaze with lights. Several luxury cars were parked outside; almost everyone in the Kane family was there.The provincial capital hospital had already classified Watson’s food poisoning case as critical. The chief doctor had simply explained that the toxins had already circulated through his body and that conventional medicine could no longer help him. All they could do was transfer him to the Beacon Clinic in hopes that holistic medicine would help.“Where is Mr. Crowe? Why hasn’t he come?” a middle-aged man sitting next to the bed roared at a few doctors wearing white robes.His name was Edgar Kane, Watson’s younger brother and the vice president of the Kane Enterprise. He shared a close relationship with his brother. When he heard about his brother’s sudden illness, he immediately rushed to the hospital with his wife and kids.“Mr. Kane, Mr. Crowe has just returned from visiting his grandchildren abroad and is still recovering from jetlag at home. We’ve alr
“Father, there’s no need to treat this patient. Ask his family to take him away,” Oliver suddenly said.Edgar was stunned. He frowned and said, “Why not? Our family isn’t short of money.”Oliver pointed at Isaac and said coldly, “All of my family’s medical centers will not take in any friend of his. From now on, Isaac is on my family’s blacklist.”All the Kanes inside and outside the hospital room looked at Isaac in unison. A heated look suddenly shone in Roger’s eyes.If the Beacon Clinic didn’t treat his father, then his father would die without question.“Isaac, you bastard, you are going to kill my father. You’re nothing but an animal,” Roger cursed.“Who is this person? How could this be? Isn’t this clearly taking away Watson’s chance of survival?”“Watson kept talking about this Mr. Garten, but who would’ve thought he would have beef with the Beacon Clinic? What a mess.”The family members began to throw accusations. Roger knew this was the best opportunity to divert atte
Oliver didn’t know how cruel this person in front of him could be, but George did.Seeing Beefy Bob grab his son and walk toward the window, George immediately reached out his hand and shouted, “Stop, stop now. Let my son go. I’ll treat him.”Beefy Bob paused for a couple of seconds, but when he didn’t hear any new instructions from Isaac, he lifted Oliver and threw him out the window.There was a loud crash.“Ah…” Oliver screamed in terror as he fell from the broken window.George shouted for his son, running to the window. When he saw that Oliver had landed in a bed of flowers below, his knees crumpled, and he fell to the floor.He raised his finger at Isaac with a terrifying expression on his face. Gritting his teeth, he said, “You animals, I’ll…”“If you don’t treat him now, I’ll go to your house. As you know, I can get quite cruel to someone who doesn’t listen to my words. The next Crowe family member to fall might not fall from the third floor, but the 13th or even the 30t
Edgar’s eyes widened. Then, he shook his head vigorously and said, “Mr. Garten, you sure have a sense of humor. Roger is Watson’s son; how could he…”“If you stay tonight and be on the lookout, you’ll know whether what I’m saying is the truth or otherwise. If Roger truly did it, then tonight would be his last chance to do something. As his uncle, you must stay,” Isaac said in a low voice.Edgar would never have believed this in a million years—how could a son kill his father? But at the same time, he found his brother’s food poisoning a little fishy.“Alright, I’ll do as you say. I’ll find a place to watch over Watson’s hospital room.”Isaac nodded before rolling up his window.At 3 am, Edgar found a room opposite his brother’s room. He shut off the lights and trained his gaze on the opposite room.As he watched Roger and his girlfriend, Daisy Merck, sit by the bed while on their phones, he began to feel sleepy.Suddenly, he saw Roger get up, walk to the window, and draw the cur
The fruit knife lodged in Edgar’s lower back was still dripping with blood. Roger pushed him to the ground, and Daisy knelt beside him, both her hands pressed tightly over his mouth and nose.The loud noise from behind startled the couple. When they turned their heads, they had the living daylights scared out of them.Beefy Bob darted forward, grabbing Roger’s shoulders and shoving him aside.When Beefy Bob stood up, Daisy’s entire body was engulfed in his enormous shadow. She was so terrified that she immediately let go and scrambled backward.On the hospital bed, Watson watched everything unfold with wide eyes as he gulped big mouthfuls of air.Isaac walked over and put the oxygen mask back on. He patted Watson’s shoulder and said, “Old Kane, stay calm. You can wait until you recover before handling this.”Watson looked at Isaac, the oxygen mask fastened to his face, and tears began to flow incessantly. He had never thought that his own son and his new girlfriend would ever try
A chill crossed Isaac’s eyes. “Oh, it was the Mercks. Make these two kneel here until Watson recovers, and we’ll take care of them after that. Keep an eye on them!” Isaac gave Beefy Bob a glance before turning around and walking out.What surprised him was that Allen would actually use the “sex trap” to mess with Roger. He must have racked his brains to come up with this one. After breakfast the next day, Isaac sat on the sofa reading the news. When Allegra came downstairs, he noticed that she was wearing a new green pantsuit and had put on some makeup.She seemed to be in great spirits. She was even smiling unconsciously.“You seem to be in a great mood today,” Isaac said with a smile.Allegra rolled her eyes, saying, “The new company has been registered. Mom said we’re having our first board meeting today, which I need to attend.”“Congratulations, Ms. Booth.” Isaac laughed.“Don’t tease me. The money is borrowed from Mr. Kane Sr. We need to work hard on building the new bus
Isaac didn’t know about Allegra’s predicament at the new company. He was currently at the Beacon Clinic. Watson was now awake and in good spirits.In the hospital room, Edgar, whose back was bandaged up, looked pallid. He stared at Roger and Daisy, who were kneeling at the foot of the bed.“Watson, how should we handle these two animals?” Edgar turned to look at Watson, who sat up.Watson sighed. He looked at Isaac, who was smoking off to the side, and asked, “Mr. Garten, what do you think?”Roger and Daisy had been kneeling the whole night, but even now, they didn’t feel a hint of sleepiness. They simply watched the smoking man in unison.It was because they knew that their fates lay in his hand.“Old Kane, this is your family matter. I don’t want to give a say in this issue.” Isaac smiled slightly, blowing a smoke ring.“Edgar, call law enforcement. Let the law punish them for attempted patricide.” Watson waved his hand.When Roger heard this, his eyes popped open. He bowed b
