Though the news had been suppressed in Lumina, those who needed to know did. David had been having Bruno watched, worried he might target Selina. But no one had anticipated this move.Selina's eyes widened with curiosity and confusion. "What does his running away have to do with Joseph getting hurt?
Upon arriving in Lumina, Selina rushed to the hospital Nelson had mentioned.Joseph had been in emergency surgery for four hours, and it still wasn't over.When Joseph was brought to the hospital, he was reportedly covered in blood - practically drenched in it. He was barely breathing and looked ter
When coming from Auroville, he had deliberately brought manpower with him.Worried it wouldn't be enough, he had borrowed some people from Vincent.Now with both sides at a standoff, the people outside couldn't rush in, and they couldn't get out.In this stalemate, they weren't exactly losing.After
After dinner, Daniel called Thomas, Joseph, Nelson, and Selina to his study.The Robinson family was now like prey being stalked by predators, with traps in every direction. There was no escape route that wouldn't end badly.In the past, the wealthy families stayed out of politics but stepped up dur
Daniel looked at them and nodded slightly."Those in power are wary of the Robinsons because they think our wealth is too concentrated."The Robinson main family and its branches, including adopted children, were numerous, but Daniel was the direct line, so they naturally received the largest share.
Meeting Daniel's gaze, Selina's heart skipped a beat as she looked at him uneasily."Selina, your name hasn't been entered into the Robinson family registry yet. So you won't be receiving a share of the Robinson estate," Daniel finally said after some hesitation.Hearing this, all three brothers sho
David lowered his gaze, his lips turning downward: "I know you don't like me, that you blame me for hurting her before. I will make it up to her properly."Nicole felt her heart soften, but remembering Daniel's instructions, she forced herself to continue: "How will you make it up? By suffering the
The news of the Robinsons' family division spread quickly after Daniel's casual mention.According to him, anyone in the Robinson family - whether direct line or branch family, regardless of age or gender - could participate in the asset distribution.This news brought joy to some and worry to other
Seeing Selina on the verge of losing control, Joseph quickly grabbed her arm. "Selina, stay calm. Now that we have him, unless he wants to die..."Before he could finish, Bruno suddenly broke free from his captors and made a dash for the balcony.No one expected Bruno to make such a desperate move,
A silver flash.Selina's middle and index fingers held a silver needle, which she ruthlessly jabbed into Bruno's arm.Bruno's arm went numb, involuntarily releasing Selina.Selina quickly spun around and kicked straight at his most vulnerable area.Crack—A faint sound.Selina's movement was so fast
Bruno had come to Japan following news of David and her.He was so focused on plotting against David that he forgot to clean up his own tracks.From the moment she saw him in the ICU and suspected he wasn't David, Selina had appeared to ask Joseph for help investigating, but had actually told Thomas
Selina didn't know, nor did she want to."But I want to keep playing," Bruno looked up again, all previous dejection gone as an almost cruel smile crept into his eyes. "Unless you want to watch David die a gruesome death."Under his gaze, Selina felt a chill like a venomous snake slowly crawling up
The man unconsciously raised his hand to touch his cheek. Noticing Selina watching, his fingers twitched slightly before he pretended to rub his forehead, nodding reluctantly."I'm curious about what happened when you met him that day?" Selina blinked, smiling as she looked at him."I..." the man st
Still, the show had to go on.After the doctor and nurses finished their examination, Selina went to learn about his condition.The doctor looked at the medical chart with a complex expression, sighing softly: "Mr. Wilson's overall condition is fairly good. However, it seems the head injury has resu
David's condition had improved enough for him to leave the ICU and transfer to a regular hospital room.Selina had already completed her discharge paperwork, but instead of leaving the hospital, she stayed in the suite adjoining David's room to take care of him.When David woke up, Selina was gently
If it wasn't David, who else would go to such lengths?But Selina wasn't someone who made unreasonable demands - Joseph believed she must have her reasons for saying this."Did you notice something?" Joseph couldn't help asking.To his surprise, Selina shook her head."If I said it was just my intui
When Selina came out of the ICU, Joseph was already waiting by the door.Only after confirming she was fine did Joseph finally relax, though he didn't approve of her rushing to see David right after waking up."You're pregnant now - even if you don't consider yourself, think about the baby at least.
