"Master, we’ve found Miss! She’s over there!"
Finn left the banquet in a hurry before it was over upon hearing that sothing happened to his sister.
As he approached, he saw Sarah crouched down hugging her knees. Her shoes were gone at so unknown ti, her feet were dirty and swollen, but most importantly, her expensive dress was clearly torn by soone.
Seeing Sarah in such an embarrassed state, shivering like a frightened little animal, Finn’s deep eyes instantly filled with rage, and he took off his coat to cover her.
Turning his head, he slapped the subordinate he had just sent out without saying a word.
"I told you to protect Miss closely, what kind of job are you doing?"
Finn’s strength was imnse; the bodyguards he esteed were all burly and robust, yet the one slap made his face swell instantly.
Yet not a sound of complaint was heard; he bowed his head and acknowledged his mistake: "We located Miss’s car, but she didn’t drive away, so we had to search for her everywhere. Finally found her here... she encountered so drunken thugs, but fortunately nothing happened..."
Slap—
Another clear slap, this ti the speaking bodyguard’s face finally swelled symtrically.
Finn pointed at Sarah: "You tell this is called nothing happened? Where are those beasts?"
"They... they..."
"Speak properly, don’t stamr!"
Even though his face had changed from swelling, he still displayed complete fear of Finn in his expression, glanced up to peek at him, and forced himself to answer: "They tried to bully Miss, but passersby saw it and reported to the police; they were already taken to the station."
Finn said nothing after listening, first putting the continually crying Sarah into the car.
Instructed his n to send her back.
"Jenny’s condition isn’t just because of those beasts; it’s definitely related to Henry."
"Go investigate! Tonight, all those who made her unhappy... will pay a painful price!"
A few days later—
"Excuse , is this Miss Anna Thornton?"
"I am!"
"This is the hospital, do you know a gentleman nad Henry Willow? He’s had an accident, and is critically ill; we can’t reach his family, we hope you can co over when you have ti."
"Henry, critically ill?!!!"
Anna suspected it was a prank call, but she checked the number, and it was indeed from the hospital.
Upon rushing to the hospital, she indeed saw Henry, who was hopping around a few days ago, now lying on the bed, near death, with a leg suspended, his entire body wrapped in bandages...
Were it not for his very recognizable eyes, Anna would hardly recognize him.
Henry looked physically weak but was ntally and emotionally stable.
Those eyes opened to see Anna, the corners turned up, as a greeting to her.
"What happened to you? Hit by a truck?"
Anna sat next to Henry, glanced at his dical reports. Multiple fractures all over his body, with one compound fracture, lungs and head severely impacted, now breathing aided by machines.
Henry couldn’t speak for now, he slightly curled his lips, mouthing the word ’Finn’ to Anna.
"Finn? You were beaten by Finn Grant."
Henry blinked, as if nodding.
Even though it was obvious that Finn held imnse dislike for Henry, biting teeth hate, wanting to hit him for a long ti.
But Anna was sowhat surprised he actually did, and so heavily.
It’s no exaggeration to say, Henry’s current state looked like half his life was taken!
"You must have bullied his sister, right? To bully to such an extent to receive such retribution?"
Anna spoke of ’retribution,’ because in her view, Henry brought it on himself.
Being so reckless, hardly anyone could cope.
Sarah’s endurance wasn’t due to extraordinary talent but true love!
"I say, if one day you lose this love through your own recklessness, then realize Sarah’s importance, you wouldn’t regret it, would you?"
Hearing Anna’s words, Henry rolled his eyes at her.
The look said: "If you’re here to chat about this, you better leave!"
"Fine, I’ll go then! Anyway, work is busy at the film set!"
Anna really picked up her bag and got up to leave.
She couldn’t help much even if she stayed; although she’d taken care of a daughter before, Henry being a big man, it wasn’t convenient.
Anna thought finding a professional caregiver would be better.
"Shall I help you find a caregiver?"
Anna slightly lowered her eyes, waiting for Henry to express his opinion.
Just then, a voice ca from behind.
"Already found!"
Anna heard and looked up, seeing Conrad coming.
"The caregiver couldn’t reach this morning, so they called you instead."
"Oh." Anna moved to the side, giving the pri visiting position to President Sterling, "Since your good friend President Sterling is here, it seems I’m no longer needed."
"By the way, when did Henry get injured?" Anna couldn’t help but be curious.
"Three days ago," Conrad said, "Took three days to transfer out of ICU."
"Seems he broke up with that Miss Grant?" Anna asked.
"Yes, rather extrely; broke the heart of Sixth Miss Grant."
"Deserved a beating!"
Henry: "..."
"Finn’s sister, after leaving the banquet that night, was assaulted by thugs who failed. Though they were detained for only two days, once released, all had their hands mutilated! Henry, not complying with Sarah’s intentions, was set upon by Finn’s n, beaten near death. And the girl who had contact with Henry that night mysteriously vanished for three days, guess where she is now?" Conrad looked at Anna.
Anna knew what he ant, and asked back: "So what?"
"I’ve said it before, you’ve never seen him genuinely insane; he’s a hundred tis more ruthless than you’d imagine."
Anna certainly knew, Finn wouldn’t be in his position if he only told corny jokes.
But doesn’t everyone have a dual nature?
"President Sterling, don’t you have a dark and sinister side?"
Anna compared Conrad to Finn, the man’s face imdiately fell: "I’m talking about him, why bring up ?"
"You had the caregiver call to see Henry like this, didn’t you want to warn ? But I’m no monkey."
Henry on the bed: "???" Then who is the chicken?
"Speaking of which, I actually find Finn’s decisiveness quite appealing." Anna tugged at a strand of hair, a playful smile on her lips, "You know, when I was ruined by Holly Sutton four years ago, I always fantasized about how satisfying it would be to revenge her when I had the power."
"Yet those satisfying revenges aren’t covered by law; not even an eye for an eye. Finn’s vicious thods have no burden; if only he could use them to help take revenge!"
Conrad warned Anna of Finn’s danger, but she planned to wield this danger as her weapon.
Whether to say this woman is too ambitious or fearless!
"Anna, negotiating with The Devil, what do you plan to trade? On what basis do you think you can control him, make him avenge you? Just because he seems interested now? Then you’re mistaken, n’s so-called interest could be gone faster and cheaper than you’d think!"
"Negotiating with The Devil?" Anna felt the taphor was apt, as it wasn’t her first ti.
However, Anna was too busy today to anger Conrad more, to get caught up further with him.
"President Sterling, thank you for your warning, I’ll think about it carefully when I get back."
