First General Hospital was one of the top three hospitals in Creek Valley.Eli was waiting anxiously outside the surgery room with a plump middle-aged woman."I don't want to live if anything happens to Chet. How can a father like you fail to protect your son? You're such a useless bastard! All you know is to have affairs out there! Don't you have any connections? Why didn't you send anyone to catch the culprit?!" The middle-aged woman was Eli's wife, Ida Brown. She pointed at Eli and began berating him."Shut up! I have my ways of dealing with this. What's important right now is Chet's surgery!" Eli grunted coldly.When the doors to the surgery room were finally opened, Chet was pushed out. He was still unconscious."Dr. Faulkner, how is my son? Is he alright?" Eli and Ida quickly went up to the doctor and asked."His life is not in danger anymore, but…" Ian Faulkner hesitated.Eli felt his vision go black, and he almost passed out. The doctor's hesitation was enough to infor
That night, Finn moved into the most luxurious villa in Creek Valley. He could look down at the entire Creek Valley from here.However, he was not in the mood to admire the view and was unable to sleep. His mind was filled with images of his wife and daughter.He knew that he could not rush this. He had to get things done accordingly before finding the right opportunity to explain things to Selena and convince her to accept him.…Today was the day Finn and Yvonne would get officially divorced.After signing the divorce papers at Emma's birthday celebration yesterday, they had to submit the documents before the divorce was official.Thomas soon drove Finn to the destination in a Rolls-Royce Phantom.Finn waited outside for more than ten minutes before Yvonne arrived. She was late.This was her habit. She was always making others wait for her. Michael had even come along with her. They were holding hands and looked intimate. They acted like they were husband and wife.Yvonne wa
That was when Thomas dragged the driver out of the truck."Talk! Who ordered you to do this?!" Thomas asked coldly with murderous intent."The brake stopped working… I have no idea…" The driver tried to deny it."You have one last chance," Thomas said coldly. He suddenly took a gun out from his waist and pointed it at the driver's head.The driver was scared out of his mind. He was not a professional assassin and was forced to create this accident because he had no choice.Thomas had frightened him, and he told them everything."It was Mr. Henderson! I owe him a lot of money. He told me to wait here until I received orders to crash my truck into someone and kill them… Even if the target died, it'd only be seen as a traffic accident…" the driver stammered."Mr. Henderson? Do you mean Octa Henderson from the south of the city?" Finn walked over and asked coolly."Yes, that Mr. Henderson! I was forced into this. I owe Mr. Henderson money, and if I didn't do this, they would've hur
Finn had come looking for Octa to confirm that the Kauffmans were behind the hit, and it really was them.If the Kauffmans had listened to him and called off the wedding with the Langs, they would have emerged unscathed. Finn would only get revenge on Michael and not his family.However, circumstances had convinced Finn not to show mercy. There was no reason for the Kauffmans to exist any longer."Call Eli Kauffman and tell him that I'm going over to the Kauffman residence. Tell them to get ready to die," Finn said coolly.He said this like it was an everyday routine, but the contents of his words were shocking. Finn wanted to kill someone, but he had chosen to warn them in advance and informed them to wait for death to come.Only someone from Beyond Heaven could act so arrogantly.Octa was grateful that he had knelt quickly. Otherwise, he would have been the first to die. He hated Eli now for almost sending him to hell.Octa quickly took out his phone to call Eli."Are you hom
The Kauffmans were the oldest family in Creek Valley and had immense wealth as well as strong connections in the city.Kauffman Corporation owned close to billions in assets. They were involved in multiple industries which included hotels, jewelry, property, medicine, and many more.Most importantly, the Kauffmans had accumulated generations of wealth and network. They had important resources and strong networks in politics, business, and war zones.Michael's second uncle was an important city council member while his third aunt's husband was a logistics supervisor in the defense department. His cousin was an officer in the internal medicine department in a Creek Valley district…Besides the Kauffmans' network, they had close business relationships with many parties. Some of them were important members of society.This time, Eli had contacted all members of the family.Among them were three renowned personalities from Creek Valley.One of them was the deputy mayor of Creek Valle
Finn remained stoic as he turned to look at the so-called important people."You're able to do whatever you want in Creek Valley, huh?" he asked.All three men did not even blink as this was true to them.Finn smiled and pointed at Hubert. He said, "You're just a mere vice president of an organization. What can you do?"Hubert was enraged to see Finn doubt him. He roared, "How dare you look down on me? I'm the vice president of the South Chamber of Commerce. Many enterprises are associated with us, and most of them are listed in the market. My network is vast, and all of the important members in the districts around the city respect me. What do you think I can do?"I'm known in the underworld as well. One call from me is enough to kill you a hundred times over."He replied to Finn arrogantly.However, Finn just shook his head.Even though Hubert was right, those were not people who treated him genuinely. None of those people would be willing to do everything they could if somet
"Gunther, why are you being so polite with him? He's just a useless son-in-law of the Somners!" Eli could not accept Gunther's sudden change in attitude and grumbled."That's right. That brat is a nobody!""The Kauffmans are an old family here. What can a brat like him do to us?""Lieutenant Wells, don't be tricked by him! He might have gotten a random person to make that call to you."The Kauffmans did not believe it, and they spoke with disdain. However, Gunther knew very well that no one could have faked that call. These people had no idea what they were getting into. They were calling the man that Greg Fontaine respected a useless bastard.Even though Gunther had a relationship with the Kauffmans, he did not want to end up dead because of them."Shut up, everyone! I'm washing my hands off everything here! Goodbye!" He left in anger.Greg had already given him a warning and told him to leave after apologizing. He was told not to get involved with this or death would be the on
Eli knew it was time to make his choice. If he did not handle it well, the Kauffmans would be no more. He had no choice but to give up on this son of his.Eli looked at his youngest, Michael, and his eyes reddened.No man could tolerate being cheated on.Finn did not see Yvonne as his woman and did not mind what she did. However, this was about a man's pride. It was true that Michael was the adulterer, and he had to pay the price for it."Don't worry. I'll handle this properly. You will never see my son, Michael Kauffman, again!" Eli said with a hardened heart. This was equivalent to announcing Michael's death sentence."Dad… You want to kill me? No! I don't want that! I don't want to die!" Michael began crying out loud.He did not expect Eli to be so cruel. Eli wanted to kill him to appease Finn."If you don't die, it'll be the end of the Kauffmans. This is for the Kauffmans! You should sacrifice for the family! Besides, what you did was wrong!" Eli said coldly.Michael was st
