“Since it won’t kill her…” He smiled faintly. “Then let’s draw as much blood as possible.”
With that, ignoring Bethany’s resistance, he quickly bound her to another chair.
“It’s clear the Shaw family didn’t waste their efforts raising you. You have such deep sisterly feelings for Lily, so don’t just talk about it.”
As Frank tightened the knots of the rope and gestured to the medical staff, he said, “What are you waiting for? Draw the blood.”
“Mom! Mom!” Bethany cried out desperately for help!
Mrs. Shaw, frantic, tried to rush in, but Frank’s people had arrived, blocking both sides of the door.
Those wanting to get out couldn’t, and those wanting to get in couldn’t.
It was a matter of who was crazier, more ruthless, and more reckless!
Mrs. Shaw grabbed Madam Shaw’s arm, her tone, more heartfelt than when she begged me earlier, her voice trembling with fear. “Mom… talk to Frank, he listens to you! Bethany, Bethany will really be in trouble if this goes on…”
“Didn’t you hear what the doctor said?”
Madam Shaw sat down slowly, regaining her composure. “It’s much better than Charlotte’s situation. It

“You bastard!”
A middle–aged man suddenly appeared not far away, looking worn and seemingly having rushed over from another place.
His brows and eyes vaguely resembled Frank’s, but the middle–aged man had a shrewdness born from years of dealing with power and wealth.
“Who taught you to be so lawless?”
The middle–aged man approached, helping Mrs. Shaw up and continued to scold Frank. “Apologize to Mrs. Shaw! I already knew what happened on my way here. What do you want to do? Are you planning to

sever the bond between the Smith and Shaw families that has lasted over a hundred years for a thing that just appeared out of nowhere?”
Frank’s expression grew colder. “She didn’t just appear out of nowhere, nor is she the ‘thing‘ you speak of. Her name is Charlotte.”
“I don’t care what her name is,” Luke said sternly. “You’re spoiled by your grandparents and are utterly disrespectful! If you let this woman go today, you can forget about ever returning to the Smith family.”
