Kathleen sneered, “It's pointless for you to look at him. There's nothing he can do too."Wilburremained silent while wearing a grimace.”Hurry up and move,” The police urged Raymond.Raymondgritted his teeth. “You must hang in there, Wilbur!"Wilbur nodded.Then, the police broughtRaymond away.The others who attended the banquet gradually left as well All of them weresurprised by the unexpected turns of events that night.Soon, the crowd dispersed.Kathleen staredcoldly at Wilbur. “You won't hold on for long.”“Don’t be so presumptuous!” He glared at her."Areyou still expecting Adina’s help? You can give that idea up because she’s having trouble savingherself now.” Kathleen smiled indifferently.”What did you say?” Wilbur frowned."Her right to theinheritance was terminated. She has lost everything now,” Kathleen said coldly.“ Impossible!” Wilburwas in disbelief."Feel free to contact her and ask her yourself if you do not believe me,” Kathleensaid in a meaningful tone.He immediately took out his phone and called Adina.When the callconnected, he heard Adina’s hysterical sobs through the speaker."Wilbur, we're doomed!” Adinawailed in distress.”"What's the matter?” Wilbur knitted his brows.”l lost my place in the royalfamily.My family is abandoning me. My mother did something wrong and dragged me into themess,” Adina cried out loud."What?" He froze.He slowly put down his phone while glowering atKathleen. “What have you done?"“I'm just letting you all have a taste of your own medicine. Are yousatisfied with this outcome?” Kathleen said expressionlessly.Consumed by rage, Wilbur dashedforward in Kathleen's direction.Bang!Samuel pulled the trigger of the gun in his left hand, shootingWilbur on his leg."Ah!" Wilbur shrieked.He fell to the ground, hugging his injured leg inagony.Kathleen merely stared at him with a poker face. “This is retribution. You are being punishedfor the harm you were about to inflict on others."Colors drained from Wilbur's face. “Kathleen!”"Shecontinued gazing at him emotionlessly. “Wilbur, stop fantasizing that you still have the opportunityto stage a comeback. That will never happen.”“Bring him away and ensure he is monitored at alltimes,” Samuel ordered sternly.Tyson, leading his subordinates, captured Wilbur and took himaway.The other members of the Blissful Sect were at a loss.Kathleen regarded them with a frostyexpression. “If all of you are sufficiently wise and sensible, you should know better than to continueholding those weapons.”A part of the crowd obediently put down their weapons.“Regardless ofwhere your loyalties lie in the past, the Blissful Sect belongs to Ms. Watson from now onwards. Shewill not make things difficult for any of you if you heed her command. However, if you all still wishto blindly assist Raymond or Wilbur, don't blame me for not being mercifull"The rest of the BlissfulSect members, still holding their weapons a moment ago, hastily dropped them upon hearingKathleen's speech.Kathleen uttered solemnly, “Very good. No matter who becomes the leader of theSect, your welfare and benefits will not be affected. Therefore, all of you can be at ease.”Everyonelightly bobbed their heads.Kathleen nodded in satisfaction. She turned to look at Samuel. “Let's go.We'll head to the hospital first.”’Okay.” They went to the hospital in a hurry.When Kathleen andSamuel arrived at the hospital, Clarissa was already transferred from the operating theatre to theward.The doctor exited the ward and said grimly, “Ms. Watson's brain nerves were destroyed. I'mafraid...”"How is she?” Charles asked.”I'm afraid she will stay a fool the rest of her life,” the doctoruttered in resignation.What?Charles was shocked to his core.Kathleen frowned deeply as well. “Isthere no other way to save her?"“The only option is to operate on her, but...” The doctor pausedbriefly before continuing, “This surgery is extremely complicated. There won't be any doctor withthe courage to take up this challenge.”Kathleen gazed at Charles.She could sense his anguish. “I amthe reason she became like this! I neglected her because I was too busy since my return. Little did Iexpect Raymond treated her in this manner."Kathleen did not know how to console herbrother.Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs, but Raymond is simply evil. Or perhaps he didnot anticipate this outcome himself.“Charles, I'll handle Clarissa's surgery! Let's take a look at hercondition first,” Kathleen piped up.Charles grimaced. “Kate, I cannot leave Clarissa to her owndevices in her current state.””l know.” Kathleen nodded.Since we are engaged, I will take care of herin the future.” Charles gazed at the ring on his finger. “I'll take over the Blissful Sect. You can restassured.”Kathleen pursed her lips. “Charles, don't worry. I'm here for you."Charles nodded. “It'salready late now. You should go back first with Samuel. I'll stay and look after Clarissa.” Okay. Callme if anything comes up,” Kathleen said.”All right."Kathleen and Samuel turned around and left thehospital.Rory sprinted over when they returned to the hotel. “Ms. Johnson, Old Mrs. Lester ishere.""What?” Kathleen was astounded. “Lead me to her!"“Follow me.” Rory brought Kathleenupstairs at once.They arrived before a presidential suite.Kathleen was about to knock on the doorwhen the door swung open.Yvonne looked at her with an amused expression. “You'reback."Kathleen pursed her lips. “I heard that you've arrived.” That's right. She wishes to meet withyou,” Yvonne replied.Kathleen stepped into the room, wearing an anxious look.Old Mrs. Lester hasjust undergone surgery. How could she travel so far?Kathleen went into the bedroom and saw Bettylying partially on the bed.Betty's face was slightly pale but generally appeared relatively well andlucid Kathleen pursed her lips.Tears brimmed in Betty's reddened eyes. “Are you still resolved on notacknowledging me?“Kathleen froze as tears rolled down her cheeks.Initially, she had indeed madethe decision not to reunite with Betty.However, Kathleen's resolution wavered when she saw the oldwoman coming so far to meet with her despite the latter's frail body condition. Betty had takenquite a risk."Grandma.” Kathleen moved forward and hugged Betty.Betty's eyes glistened withtears.Yvonne wiped the tears off her face. “Congratulations, Mom. The granddaughter you've beenmissing so dearly has finally returned to your side.” That's right.” Betty sighed. “God has blessed mewith great fortune.” After that, Kathleen examined Betty's condition and heaved a sigh of relief.“Grandma, you cannot behave like this in the future. You can call me if you miss me, and I'll visityou."Betty grasped Kathleen's hands. “I've made the decision. There's not much time left for me tolive. I did not get to meet your father after we became separated at his birth. From now on, I'll bewhere you are. I wish to return to Jadeborough with you. What do you say?"“Really?” Kathleen wasdelightfully surprised. “If uncle and the others agree, I am certainly more than happy with thisarrangement!”“Do they dare to disagree?” Yvonne beamed. “You don't have to worry about that.”
