เข้าสู่ระบบI brought Whitney home to recuperate and arranged for the world's top doctors to care for her.Just a few hours after I had Elvira arrested, Mr. and Mrs. Britton came rushing to my door again in a panic.The moment Mr. Britton saw Brock, his face went pale with shock."Mr. Griffin, what are you doing here?"Brock pinched the bridge of his nose and said with displeasure, "You got it all wrong, you old fool. Wallace is right here, and yet you dare to greet me first? Do you have a death wish or something?"With his years of experience navigating both the lawful and underworld, Brock's imposing demeanor wasn't something an ordinary person could withstand.Mr. Britton's face instantly turned ashen with fear. He dropped to his knees with a thud right in front of me."Wallace—"Before he could even finish his sentence, I hurled the glass from the table at him."What did you just call me?"I knew full well Mr. Britton wouldn't dare to dodge.Trembling with fear, he didn't move an in
I knew Elvira was afraid.She'd always believed that our two families were equals here in Northbank, all because Mr. Britton Senior once saved Grandpa.But after all these years, everyone in Northbank knew my family had long been the ones calling the shots.If it weren't for that sliver of gratitude, the Britton family would never have been able to latch onto mine. And it was precisely that pitiful sense of obligation that gave Elvira the delusion that she could push my family around.But Brock was different.Elvira only knew that Whitney had married someone from Bayfront, but not who she married.If she'd known that Whitney was married to Brock, the rumored underworld boss of Bayfront, she'd never have dared to cross her.Elvira pulled Toby down, and they fell to their knees with a heavy thud before Brock."Mr. Griffin, Toby misspoke. Please don't take it to heart."Elvira was groveling before Brock like this only because Mr. Britton still had business dealings with him."Th
But the wedding was only a short while ago, so how could Elvira be pregnant already?I had initially thought Elvira had at least a shred of conscience left and that she'd come to the hospital to see Whitney.It never occurred to me that she and Toby were actually here for a pregnancy check-up.In that moment, my heart died completely."Elvira, you already slept with Toby long before the wedding, didn't you? All this time, you've been lying about saving your first time for me, right?"Elvira instinctively wanted to deny it, but the panic on her face had already betrayed her.Years of relationship dissolved into thin air before my very eyes. Elvira was no longer the innocent girl I once remembered."Elvira, the flower has fallen," I said.Elvira frowned, not understanding what I was getting at."Wallace, stop this. If you keep making a scene, it won't be good for either of our families."The flower had fallen, and the Britton family was about to fall with it.I wiped the tears
I was at the peak of despair when Brock finally arrived at the Eastern Suburb Villa with the emergency rescue pod and a doctor.The moment he saw Whitney's injuries, Brock clenched his fists tightly."Wallace, who on earth dared to hurt Whitney like this?"I swallowed the bitterness in my throat. "Get Whitney to the hospital first. I'll explain everything to you later."I collapsed onto the floor outside the operating room, as if my soul had left me."Wallace, were you stalking me?"Elvira leaned against Toby, looking at me with suspicion, which then turned into a flicker of contempt."I knew you couldn't let go of me. Only if you go to my parents now and beg for forgiveness will I agree to continue with our wedding."Toby chimed in beside her, "Yeah. As long as you don't interfere with Elvira and me, I won't mind you being her husband. After all, I love her even more than you do."As he spoke, Toby burrowed his head into the crook of Elvira's neck, looking utterly pitiful.E
My heart ached seeing Whitney in so much pain."Wallace, what happened to Whitney? Why isn't she at the hospital? I've been calling, but she's not picking up," Brock Griffin, my brother-in-law, asked urgently."Brock, bring the emergency rescue pod to the Eastern Suburb Villa," I said through gritted teeth.Brock wanted to ask for more details, but I snapped angrily and anxiously, "Did you not hear me when I said bring the emergency rescue pod to the Eastern Suburb Villa? Whitney's in danger!"After I hung up the phone, the first thing I did was check on Whitney's condition.She lay dying in a pool of blood, her chest already torn to a bloody pulp from the explosion. There wasn't a single patch of unharmed skin left on her exposed body.The sight of her like this made me want to slap myself over and over.As the most beloved youngest daughter in my family, when had she ever suffered such injustice?It was all because she stood up for me that Whitney ended up so severely injured
At the sight of Toby at death's door, Elvira rushed over like crazy and tightly hugged him. Even as the bodyguards' batons struck her, she refused to let go.I smiled bitterly to myself.For someone so terrified of pain, Elvira had actually gone to such lengths for Toby.Mr. and Mrs. Britton rushed over frantically as soon as they got wind of what was happening."Wallace, Elvira is still young and foolish—please forgive her just this once," they pleaded. "If you can't stand that good-for-nothing Toby, I'll personally ship him abroad. How does that sound?"When Elvira saw Mr. Britton groveling before me, she immediately flew into a rage."Dad, Toby hasn't done anything wrong!" She shot me a vicious glare and hissed through gritted teeth, "Wallace, you're going to regret humiliating my parents like this for that little tramp."Mr. and Mrs. Britton's faces went pale with terror as they trembled and looked at me.Seeing that my phone had been smashed, I hurriedly gathered Whitney i
