CHAPTER 510
Just as Kyle and Rain cleared the doorway, one of Rain’s men moved immediately. They were already carrying out Rain’s orders: one of them snapped one of Gerald's men’s legs.The screams erupted, raw and agonizing, bouncing off the walls like jagged glass.“Aah! My leg! My leg!” one man shrieked, clutching his knee, eyes wide with shock.Kyle flinched, hearing all the screams and grunts coming from the room.“You’re breaking my arm! Stop! Stop!” another yelled, his voice cracking, a hand dangling uselessly as pain shot through him.“Please! I didn’t sign up for this! I swear!” a third man wailed, thrashing against the hold of the ones pinning him down.The metallic clatter of bones and guttural cries echoed with each precise strike, sending chills down Kyle’s spine. He winced, pressing his face against Rain’s chest instinctively, his heart hammering. Every scream was a reminder of the brutal authority Rain commanded and the cost of defiance.“Shut up! Shut up!” Gerald screamed from

Rain drove, the dark sedan slicing silently through the night.The mansion’s lights faded in his rear-view mirror, and the car’s interior stayed as cold and tense as his expression.He reached for his phone and dialed a number he knew by heart.The call connected on the first ring.“He’s safe,” Rain said, his voice clipped and professional. “I dropped him at the specified location and made sure he went inside. Tell the Young Master his friend is safe, and the threat has been neutralized.”The voice on the other end, smooth and slightly accented, replied, “Understood. The message will be relayed immediately. Thank you for handling the retrieval, Rain.”Rain ended the call without another word.A deep frown creased his forehead. He let out a sharp breath and slammed his foot down on the accelerator. The engine roared as the car shot forward into the darkness.**In a luxurious bedroom bathed in the soft, clinical glow of hospital equipment, Tedmond lay still in the center of the bed, ey
CHAPTER 512
The shift from intense emotional outpouring to complete exhaustion was immediate.As Persis settled into Thomas’s vacated chair, gently rocking Bianca, the girl’s sobs faded into faint whimpers. The steady motion and the soft pressure of Persis’s embrace finally did what words could not.The crying slowed into sniffles… then stopped altogether.Bianca’s head dropped heavily against Persis’s shoulder. Within minutes, she was completely still and fast asleep from sheer emotional exhaustion.Persis looked down at her. Bianca’s face was blotchy, her cheeks streaked with dried tears, and her eyes red and painfully swollen.Persis knew Bianca was a strong, resilient kid, fiercely independent despite her young age. She had never seen the girl lose control like this, never seen her cry with such raw, panicked terror. And it was all for Tedmond. The fact that Bianca’s carefully guarded heart had finally broken open for him made the sight of her defeated vulnerability tighten the knot of g

Seeing that Otis was still listening, the doctor continued. It was better to finish before Otis found the strength to interrupt.“Your recovery now depends entirely on your compliance,” he said, his tone shifting into rapid, clinical instruction. “We need to protect the eye you have left. You must wear the recommended protective patch over the socket, especially when sleeping, to prevent irritation and infection. We will custom-fit you for a prosthetic in the coming weeks, but for now, the patch is non-negotiable.”He consulted the chart.“You’ll use the antibiotic drops twice a day. Avoid bright lights. Do not strain your vision—no screens, no reading, and absolutely no rubbing your face. Your depth perception will be affected, so you must move slowly. This is not negotiable. Do you understand?”Otis swallowed hard, the muscles in his throat painfully visible.He had threatened a life over signing documents, and now the very pen meant to sign those documents had cost him his sight.
CHAPTER 514
The medical team worked furiously around Otis.The nurse who had secured the IV glanced up, saw Adeline still hovering near the bed, and decided she was becoming a dangerous liability.Without warning, the nurse grabbed Adeline’s arm and hauled her toward the exit.“Get out!” the nurse snapped, her voice low but sharp. “You have severely compromised his recovery! You are causing a medical emergency! Get out now!”The nurse’s rudeness didn’t matter. Everyone knew Adeline had come in and caused trouble.Adeline barely had time to react before she was shoved into the hallway.The nurse didn’t pause, and she slammed the door shut.Thud!The sound echoed through the entire corridor.Adeline stood frozen in the sterile white hallway.Her arms were still half-raised from the shove, her mouth slightly open.She stared blankly at the closed door as muffled shouts, urgent commands, and the rhythmic beeping of monitors filtered through the wood.‘What just happened?’ she thought.A hollow feelin
CHAPTER 515
Harold didn't flinch. He walked slowly past the doorway, watching the frantic efforts to subdue Gerald. The venomous curses washing over him were vicious, but Harold simply reached up and covered his ears with his hands, blocking out the sound.‘This is why you have no choice, Gerald,’ Harold thought bitterly. ‘You would rather die than face weakness.’He turned away from the door, his posture heavy with the decision, but his mind now snapping into professional focus. The medical emergency was handled. Now comes the mystery.Harold pulled out his phone, bypassing the contacts and dialing the number for his head of security. ‘Who is powerful enough to do this to a Griffin and help Kyle?’ Harold knew Gerald wouldn't talk, even if he could. But he was not Gerald. Harold was going to find out who had tried to kill his brother and why Gerald’s routine attempt to pressure Kyle had ended with such brutal, dismembering vengeance. He was sure this wasn't just about Kyle; the Griffins we

Otis was finally stabilized and moved to a quiet hospital ward.He sat upright on the bed, his head bowed so low that the hair fell over his face, hiding his eyes completely. His jaw was clenched so tightly that a muscle twitched along his cheek. No one could see what he was hiding, because he refused to look up.The doctor, a kind-faced woman with dark hair pulled back severely, approached the bed."Mr. Griffin," she said softly, holding out a small, reflective hand mirror. "We’ve done everything we could. Your right eye is stable, and with the aid of the specialized therapeutic lens, you’ll be able to see much better than before."Otis didn't move."You must wear this lens regularly," she continued, placing the mirror on his bedside table. "It's crucial for your retinal health. You shouldn't remove it unless it detaches naturally. We need to monitor this closely. Please, look at yourself. It’s time to face this."After a long, agonizing silence, Otis slowly reached out. His finger

Otis’s breath hitched. His remaining eye, the blazing neon green of the therapeutic lens fixed on the officers, its unnatural color belying the panic swelling behind it.“The assault and kidnapping of Kyle Karishin.”Did they know everything? His role in setting the ambush? Or only the surface details—a failed kidnapping attempt that ended with him brutalized?A rapid, instinctive urge to lie flared up, but he stopped himself. He couldn’t afford a mistake. Otis knew his rights, knew he had to speak to his lawyer, but more urgently, the priority was to gauge how much the police actually knew. The Griffin had never been arrested before, not truly. The Griffin name had always shielded him, a fact that had always infuriated Tedmond. And now Tedmond had called the police on him?The audacity.Otis cursed Tedmond inwardly. He remembered every petty crime, every act of sabotage he had committed against Tedmond, all smoothed over by the family’s influence. To be cornered now—injured and

“Huh?”Adeline stared, speechless, the shock stealing the air from her lungs.The officer grabbed her arm without hesitation.“Wait! You can’t do this!” she cried, trying to yank her arm free. “I’m family! I’m his aunt! I just came here to check on him—I have nothing to do with this!”The officer securing her wrist didn’t pause.“That’s what they all say, ma’am,” he replied, the click of the handcuffs sealing her fate. “We’ve heard every ‘I’m just family’ excuse in the book. This isn’t our first arrest, and interfering with a police vehicle makes you an accomplice.”“But I’m telling the truth!” Adeline protested, twisting her wrists against the steel. “Check my ID! I’m Adeline Griffin! We’re prominent citizens!”“All things you can explain to the desk sergeant,” the officer said, tightening his grip on her elbow. He glanced over her disheveled but expensive appearance. “Right now, you look like a partner trying to stop an arrest.”The police cruiser holding Otis sped away.Adeline, st

Beside Tedmond was a strikingly beautiful woman Harold did not recognize, her demeanor radiating calm competence.“I should have known,” Harold muttered, the words heavy with cold certainty. “It was always Tedmond.”He stared at the frozen image on his screen, Tedmond standing beside Kyle, secure and unapologetic.The cold certainty quickly curdled into scorching anger.Not only had Tedmond orchestrated the brutal attack on Gerald, but he had compounded the insult by having the nerve to call the police on Otis and Adeline.Tedmond had called the cops.The realization hit like a punch to the gut.That meant the entire chain of events, the ambush, the destruction of the hired crew, Gerald’s near-fatal injuries, and now the arrests, all originated with Tedmond.Otis must have used Kyle as leverage to threaten or coerce Tedmond into complying, and Tedmond had retaliated not with a direct confrontation but by dismantling Otis and Gerald entirely.Harold had no idea how he had done it, but
