Chapter 968

She was dizzy now, and blood kept flowing from her wound.

Her vision gradually blurred, but she still saw the woman in front of her... Was it her?

Sylvia?

"How could you save me?"

"It's entirely because of Jasper and Carolyn's face. Don't think too much." Sylvia looked at the seat and found Katie's leg trapped in the gap. So she said to Franklin and Jasper, "Can you push this seat forward a bit? Just a push, and I can pull her leg out. Let's coordinate."

The front passenger seat had already deformed and was no longer controlled by the car's original seat buttons, so they had to push it hard with their hands.

Jasper and Franklin exerted all their strength to push the front seat. Sylvia watched their movements, her eyes fixed on the gap, and noticed that it was gradually widening.

She immediately grabbed Katie's ankle, and Katie screamed in pain, "Ah! It hurts so much!"

Her tears fell like broken pearls.

Covered in blood, she curled up in the seat, the tearing pain in her foot almost making her faint.

"The bone is injured, probably needs a cast or a steel plate." Sylvia roughly examined Katie's ankle and the sole of her foot. "You may not be able to dance anymore."

Ignoring the blood on her face, Katie angrily exclaimed, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I not be able to dance?"

As an actress, if she couldn't dance... she would lose many opportunities for development.

"I'm a surgeon. I can see this little problem." Sylvia didn't say much more but helped Katie out of the car.

Clutching her injured foot, Katie cried bitterly, "Go away, I don't want your help!"

"Now is not the time for you to act like a spoiled princess." Sylvia's face turned cold. "The car was severely hit and could explode at any time. If you don't want to be blown to pieces, get out of the car now!" Hearing Sylvia mention the possibility of an explosion, Katie was suddenly startled and forgot about her pain and tears.

She tried to rush out of the car with Sylvia's help, but when she exerted force on her foot, it hurt!

The pain made her grit her teeth.

The traffic police drove up in a patrol car and began to clear the traffic congestion in the tunnel.

An ambulance also whizzed past. Franklin and Jasper together lifted the unconscious driver into the ambulance, while two doctors and a nurse lifted Katie onto the ambulance.

Katie lay there, crying in pain, "It hurts! It hurts, I want to call my dad!"

Ignoring her, Jasper called Carolyn, "Sis, Katie had an accident, in the tunnel, and she's pretty badly injured."

Carolyn was shocked, "An accident? Wasn't she supposed to return to the set? How did this happen?"

"Two cars collided, the other car is fine, but Katie's car is pretty bad." After telling Carolyn the hospital's address, Jasper hung up.

Soon, the media broke the news in the middle of the night.

"Young star Katie nearly dies in car accident!"

"Katie almost kidnapped!"

"The main suspect in the Katie case is Carolyn!"

"Family feud, who benefits?"

These hot topics directly hit the trending list, along with a video of Katie's car being hit and flipping towards the tunnel wall.

There was also a video and photos of Sylvia and Franklin rescuing Katie, who was covered in blood, from the car.

Originally, netizens were discussing the feud between the McGuire family, but the situation took a different turn. "I, Sylvia, and Mr. Maskelyne saved her?"

"What? Am I seeing things?"

"Sylvia is awesome!"

But this incident still had a significant impact on Carolyn.

Many speculations online suggested that Carolyn had hired someone to harm her sister-in-law Katie.

This infuriated Carolyn. She looked at Katie, who had just undergone surgery and was pushed into a regular ward, and said angrily, "When have I ever harmed you? Look at what you've done to yourself, acting like you're so wronged."

Katie's forehead was bandaged, she had surgery on her broken foot, and there was a steel nail inside.

Her leg was placed on a thick pad and couldn't move at all.

Her entire leg was numb, and the anesthesia had not worn off yet.

Wearing a loose hospital gown, she looked even weaker and paler, with none of her usual arrogance, only fear and anxiety remained in her eyes.

"Carolyn, don't ignore me. Dad hasn't come... You're my only family."

She cried out to Carolyn, "Carolyn, I don't know how those rumors started."

Carolyn looked at her hysterical state, a flash of sympathy in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed any pity for her husband's stepsister.

She tilted her head slightly, her voice almost deliberate in the hospital room, "You've only injured your foot, what about my husband? Your brother? His life is in danger, what right do you have to complain? Feel wronged?"

Katie was frightened by her cold attitude and shrank back into the bed, "Carolyn, don't be like this... It was my ignorance to believe Kareem. Carolyn, I didn't mean to..."

"Do you really have no intention? You know best." Carolyn looked at her coldly. "When Dad comes, I will leave. Don't think I don't know, the reason for this staged assassination attempt on me, your sister-in- law, hiding in the shadows, is to stop me from leaving the country."

Katie was so scared by Carolyn's cold attitude that she couldn't speak, she could only stare at her blankly.

Carolyn's voice continued to echo, powerful and resounding, "Your brother's trial is next week, and I will definitely be there. I didn't harm you, let alone hire someone to harm you! I, Carolyn, would never stoop to such trashy behavior."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Carolyn turned around and saw several police officers standing at the door. One of them, in a professional tone, said, "Who is Ms. Carolyn? The driver who hit Katie's car has identified you as the mastermind behind the scenes."

Carolyn was taken aback, but she only showed a hint of mockery in her eyes, without any fear or panic. "I am Carolyn, I am innocent, I did not hire anyone. I don't even know that driver."

"You are now a suspect, please come with us." The policeman showed his badge and arrest warrant.

"What are you doing? How could my daughter-in-law commit a crime?" A sudden voice rang out in the corridor, and Mr. McGuire, followed by Katie's mother, hurried over.

"Who knows if she did it or not, she's just afraid that Katie will compete with her for the company." Katie's mother couldn't help but shout at Carolyn, "We heard what the police said just now. You ordered the driver to kill Katie. Isn't controlling the company enough for you?"

"How shameless and heartless you are! What did we do to provoke you? Katie just wants to be a star, she doesn't want to compete with you for the company!"

"Shut up! Carolyn couldn't possibly do such a thing!" Mr. McGuire stared directly at Mrs. McGuire, then glanced at the police officers, trying to ease the tension.

"Comrades, I hope you investigate thoroughly. My daughter-in-law is not that kind of person. She is very kind, especially to the company's employees. She's good to my youngest daughter too. Although there has been some recent tension between her and her sister-in-law, she would never commit murder."

"We will investigate thoroughly. If she's innocent, she will be vindicated. If she's guilty, she won't escape legal consequences," the police officer said matter-of-factly. "Miss Howlett, please extend your hands." Carolyn complied, and another officer produced cold handcuffs, clasping them around her wrists.

In the corridor, many patients' relatives, doctors, and patients themselves were craning their necks to watch the scene with curiosity.

Some busybodies secretly took out their phones to record and share on social media, immediately stirring up a storm.

"Damn! Carolyn has really been taken away?"

"What will happen to the McGuire Group without her?"

"Without Carolyn in charge, is it still a conglomerate?"

"Did she really hire a hitman? What grudge could she possibly have?"

Back at home, Sylvia and Franklin immediately saw the trending topics online.

"Carolyn isn't that kind of person," Sylvia remarked.

Setting down her phone, Sylvia continued, "This is obviously a setup. It's easy to guess their motive-they don't want Carolyn to attend the trial. So they struck first to trap her in the country. And they've trapped

us too."

"I think your speculation is spot on," Franklin nodded. He looked towards the staircase, where Jasper emerged from his room with an anxious expression. "Young master, madam, have you seen the news? My sister..."

"Don't worry, your sister should be fine," Sylvia reassured him. "Let's investigate first, see if we can replace any evidence in her favor."

"Sylvia's right. You should send our men to investigate. As long as your sister is innocent, we'll replace evidence to prove the truth," Franklin said, understanding Jasper's anxiety, knowing the bond between him and Carolyn.

"I'll go out first, take the guys to investigate thoroughly," Jasper said, grabbing his coat and leaving.
