"We're planning to rush Ms. Carlton into surgery right away to get those silver needles out," the hospital director said, looking visibly anxious."What's the holdup then? Get her into surgery now!" Kevin urged."Right away." The director nodded, motioning for his assistant to wheel Lorraine into the operating room.But then, Richard said, "Hold on a second!""What is it, Mr. Jett?" Kevin asked, his tone tinged with suspicion.Frowning, Richard asked, "Did you just say there are more than a dozen silver needles inside Ms. Carlton's body?""Yeah, it seems like whoever attacked her deliberately left them there to torture her," the director explained, wiping sweat from his brow."Let me see those scans," Richard demanded."Of course." The director quickly handed over the CT scans to Richard.After a brief look, Richard's expression turned to one of shock. "Hell's 13 Needles!" A wave of astonishment swept through the room, with every expert, the director, and Kevin himself weari
Kevin was absolutely livid! Never in all his years had he felt so frustrated!"Damn it! How dare he hang up on me!" Kevin seethed with rage.Richard intervened, offering words of advice. "Mr. Carlton Senior, right now, Ms. Carlton's life is in the hands of that man. You'll have to swallow your pride for now."Kevin understood this all too well. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down as much as possible before making another call.As soon as the call connected, Kevin tried to be as polite as possible. "Sebastian, let's not beat around the bush. Come over and remove these Hell's 13 Needles from my daughter immediately.""Why should I listen to you?" Sebastian replied coldly.Kevin paused, suppressing his inner rage as he said in a deep voice, "As long as you remove them, I will let this matter rest." "And you have all the say in the world?" Sebastian chuckled, his expression icy. "Even if you let it rest, I won't!""Insolent brat! What are you up to?" Kevin shouted,
The renowned doctors exchanged glances and shook their heads.Kevin was furious and desperate."Get out! All of you, get out!"The doctors hurriedly left the room with their heads bowed.Inside the room, Kevin vented his rage, "Incompetent! They're all a bunch of incompetent doctors! They boast about their superior medical skills, yet they can't even remove a few silver needles!""Dad... it hurts, it hurts so much..." Suddenly, Lorraine moaned in pain from her hospital bed.Kevin's heart sank with worry hearing her cries. "Mr. Carlton Senior, it's not looking well! Ms. Carlton's seven orifices are bleeding!"one of Kevin's subordinates by the bed suddenly exclaimed.Kevin's face turned pale with shock. "How could this be happening? Lorraine, Lorraine… Get the doctors. Call them over right now!" Moments later, the doctors rushed in, swiftly attending to Lorraine.Finally, Lorraine escaped the grasp of death, but the situation had turned dire.Richard spoke up beside Kevin and
Crystal immediately grabbed Whitney's arm. "What are you doing? Your action could end up destroying the Sutton family! It could ruin you!""Mom, you can't do this! If it wasn't for Sebastian saving me, I might be dead by now," Whitney pleaded desperately.In a bold move, she removed her sunglasses, mask, and hat, revealing the scars and bruises covering her face to everyone present, including Edna.Seeing Whitney's battered appearance, the members of the Sutton family, as well as Edna, were all taken aback!"Winnie… your face…" Edna stuttered, her eyes filled with shock.Whitney's current appearance was truly unsettling. The Sutton family members started murmuring among themselves."How did Whitney end up like this?""It's so terrible! Those injuries on her face… They look like they were caused by a knife. Who would dare to do this to a member of the Sutton family?"Whitney's eyes welled up with tears as she pleaded with Edna. "Grandma, Lorraine Carlton is the reason I look lik
"You're not going anywhere! You'll come with us to the Sunway Carlton family and face whatever consequences they have in store for you!" Dante shouted."Maybe if you behave, you'll get to live!" Crystal added, her voice dripping with cruelty.Sebastian raised an eyebrow, his gaze sharp as he looked at Crystal. She immediately took a few steps back, visibly intimidated. "What are you looking at? Thinking of starting something right here?" she said, fear evident in her voice."Dante, get him! Bring him in!" Crystal ordered, her tone commanding.Dante nodded, gesturing with a sweep of his hand. "Attack!" he shouted, and the dozen henchmen moved to grab Sebastian."No, don't!" Whitney hurried forward, trying to intervene.Sebastian frowned, preparing to defend himself.Just then, a butler burst into the room, panic written all over his face. "Madam Sutton, something's wrong! The Carlton family's people are here!""What?" Edna exclaimed, her face paled as she stood up, her body tr
The slap puzzled Dante so much that he looked at Kevin with widened eyes. He then bowed and said, "Mr. Carlton Senior, I-I was just helping you to tie him up!"Dante's face was filled with horror. What was Kevin thinking? Why did he slap him for Sebastian?"That's up to me to decide, and it's none of your business! Scram!" Kevin roared as he vented his anger on Dante.Dante was so scared that he shivered and nodded profusely. "Alright, I will leave n-now…"The members of the Sutton family were also afraid. They looked at each other and didn't dare to walk forward.Kevin's face darkened as he looked at Sebastian and approached him.Whitney, who was standing behind Sebastian, went forward. She started to apologize to Kevin, "Mr. Carlton Senior, we're so sorry. This happened because of me. "If you want, you can take me away. Sebastian hit Ms. Carlton to avenge me. He didn't do it on purpose, so please show him mercy. Don't bring him away."Whitney continued, "I will bear the r
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Kevin walked toward the crying Whitney and lowered his head. "Ms. Sutton, I'm sorry."They were all stunned! What was happening? Why was Kevin apologizing to Whitney?The Sutton family members couldn't believe what they were witnessing.He was the head of the Sunway Carlton family. He was powerful and had a high status."Mr. Carlton Senior, what are you doing?" Edna asked.Kevin didn't even spare her a glance, still speaking to the surprised Whitney, "Ms. Sutton, I have investigated the whole reason for the incident. It's because of my useless grandson that this happened. "It's my daughter and her son's fault. Our family is to blame. Please forgive my daughter and grandson, if you will."Then, Kevin bowed once, which made everyone's jaw drop.Kevin apologized! What on Earth was going on?Whitney was stunned too. She didn't expect things to turn out this way.Kevin had actually apologized to her. "Mr. Carlton Senior… I-I am at fault too. My e
Whitney's words made everyone look at Sebastian.Right, Sebastian had beaten Lorraine to an extent that was worse than Whitney's condition. However, Kevin wasn't even mad or sought revenge. Instead, he came to apologize.Was Sebastian hiding something from them?"Sebastian, what's going on? You'd better explain!" Crystal shouted, gazing at him sharply. Sebastian frowned and said, "I've already said I would handle this issue. Since everything's fine now, I'll take my leave."Crystal's face changed. Was it really this brat who handled the matter?Whitney was also giving Sebastian a strange look. Just when she was about to ask more questions, Fergus, dressed in his suit and tie, rushed into the house.When he saw that everyone was there, he said loudly, "I have good news! About the issue between the Sutton family and the Sunway Carlton family, things will be fine soon! I asked my dad to use his connections to persuade them. Winnie, don't worry. I'm here now!"Fergus looked at Whi
