Chapter 2398

Gregory was at a complete loss, shouting anxiously, "Dad! Dad! What's wrong?! Someone call an ambulance!"

The conference room descended into chaos as panic spread.

Grant pushed through the crowd, kneeling on one knee beside Nigel. His face was full of worry as he stared at his grandfather, whose complexion was ashen and pain-stricken." Grandpa, are you having a heart attack? Please, hold on."

Suddenly, he leaned closer, whispering with a low chuckle near Nigel's ear, "Otherwise, you won't live to see me replace Justin and take over the Salvador Corporation as the president." Nigel's bloodshot eyes widened. His mouth moved laboriously as he forced out, "W-Wolf... In... Sheep's... Clothing..."

"A very high compliment. Thank you for the praise," Grant replied with a smirk, his eyes glinting with a dark, arrogant light.

Nigel was rushed to the hospital after his sudden collapse.

Given the critical importance of the emergency board meeting, it was decided that the proceedings would continue. Gregory and Grant both stayed behind to attend, while Justin remained detained at the police station.

This left only Matt to accompany Nigel to the hospital.

Outside the operating room, Matt stood with fists clenched, his heart heavy with grief and rage. Tears welled in his eyes as he watched Nigel being wheeled into surgery.

Nigel had dedicated his entire life to the company. Yet, in his most critical moment, there was no one by his side.

Matt rubbed his reddened eyes and, unable to think of any other solution, tremblingly dialed Bella's number.

The phone rang several times without an answer.

Just as he was about to hang up, Bella picked up, her voice slightly breathless. "Uncle Matt, sorry, I was busy just now. What's wrong?"

"Ms. Thompson..." Matt's throat tightened, his voice breaking.

Sensing something amiss, Bella's tone turned urgent. "Uncle Matt, has something

happened to Grandpa Nigel?"

"Ms. Thompson, Old Master Nigel has fallen ill... He's in the hospital, currently undergoing emergency treatment. Could you come and stay with him?"

When she received the call, Bella was in Hatchbay at the KS Group headquarters.

Dropping everything, she rushed to her car and drove nearly the entire route at breakneck speed, arriving at the hospital as quickly as possible.

While Nigel was in surgery, Bella learned about the events of the day from Matt.

"The board meeting is likely still in session or has just ended. Old Master Nigel knew something might go wrong, which was why he hurried to the office. He wanted to stop it all from happening," Matt said, his voice choked with emotion. "But in the end, he collapsed on the spot. I'm afraid... Nothing could be stopped."

"It doesn't matter. As long as Grandpa Nigel gets through this safely, nothing else is important." Bella comforted Matt with patience. Then her tone shifted. "What caused Grandpa Nigel to fall ill so suddenly?"

"It was the Young Master Grant. He presented a blood test report for Young Master Justin in front of all the directors, claiming it proved Justin was using drugs. The shock was too much for Old Master Nigel to bear, so he fainted on the spot."

Bella's eyes burned with fury, her fists clenching tightly. "Justin didn't use drugs. This is nothing but Grant's slander, a ploy to shake the directors' support for Justin and pull him down."

"I don't believe Young Master Justin would do such a thing either. But what good is that? I'm afraid most of the board, including Chairman Salvador, have already turned to Young Master Grant. Young Master Justin's future path will only grow harder."

Following emergency treatment, Nigel was soon transferred to a regular ward.

Bella sat at his bedside, gripping his frail hand tightly, her eyes red-rimmed with tears." Grandpa, don't worry. I'm here... I'll stay with you."

"Good child... I've caused you to worry." Nigel rasped, his breathing weak as he grasped her fingers. "I thought... I won't be able to wake up this time..."

Bella nearly broke into tears. "Grandpa Nigel, don't say that. You'll live a long life, I'm sure of it."

"I... I couldn't help Justin... I've failed him..."

After a long pause, Bella exhaled slowly, seeming to gather her courage. In a soft but resolute voice, she said, "Grandpa Nigel, I have a plan. There's still a way to counter Grant."
