During dinner, Jackson's phone buzzed with an urgent call from one of Adam's guys. Apparently, Adam had been ambushed while picking up a delivery and was now critically injured and out cold.
They'd called in a bunch of doctors, but none of them had any solutions. Doctor after doctor showed up, only to deliver the same grim news: there was nothing they could do.
"Hasn't Mr. Woods come back yet?" a man asked, pacing anxiously. How could so much time have gone by with no updates?
When they arrived at the scene, it was mostly cleaned up, but the massive pool of blood still on the ground painted a clear picture of just how bad things were. Adam's guy looked frantic, hands covered in blood.
As soon as they stepped inside, the overpowering smell of blood hit them hard, making Fiona scrunch her nose in discomfort. The situation was way worse than she had imagined.
Jackson had wanted Fiona to stay in another room to avoid the gruesome scene, but she insisted on tagging along. With no time to argue, he reluctantly agreed.
His eyes scanned the bloodstain on the floor, a deep frown settling on his face. "What's going on?"
Seeing Jackson arrive, Adam's man let out a breath of relief, though he couldn't help but look curiously at the unfamiliar girl with Jackson. What was Mr. Woods up to? And who was this young girl with him?
Despite his curiosity, the urgency of the moment took precedence. He bowed respectfully to Jackson, speaking in a hurried and worried tone, "Mr. Woods, Mr. Adam's condition is really bad. We called several doctors, and they all said there's nothing they can do."
"Nothing they can do?" Jackson's voice was icy. "If they can't help, what's the point of me paying them every year? Tell them to come up with a solution, or they'll regret it if anything happens to Adam."
