Daniel Hinton was confused. “No... I didn't touch any silver needle. When I held Mr. Raynor just now, there was already blood oozing from his ears.”
“You're lying!” Lawrence Herbert said angrily. “I had done a good acupuncture job on Mr. Raynor. He was about to wake up. You're to blame for messing with the needles. Now the acupuncture technique has failed... you've killed Mr. Raynor. You're a murderer. Ms. Raynor, quickly, get some guards to seize this murderer.”
With gritted teeth, Susan Raynor's eyes reddened as she called out, “Security guards, apprehend this whole family.”
At that moment, she was confused and had no time to think. She just accepted everything Lawrence said as the truth.
From outside the entrance, two huge muscular security guards came in. Their physiques were formidable enough.
Lacey's family were frightened out of their wits.
Murder. Furthermore, the victim was Mr. Raynor. How could they take the blame?
Hannah and Lacey started begging Susan Raynor.
Susan Raynor paid them no heed. Instead, she ordered the security guards to seize Daniel Hinton.
Daniel had a mental breakdown.
Only then did he realize there was a high probability that Lawrence had set him up.
Lawrence had wanted to shift the blame to him.
He truly regretted not listening to Zeke who had warned him not to be involved in the acupuncture treatment.
Now, not only did he step into the trap. He had also compromised his family as well.
He gritted his teeth and glared at Lawrence. “Lawrence Herbert, you scoundrel, you set me up!”
Lawrence Herbert smiled as his evil plan had successfully been carried out.
A security guard stretched out his hand to seize Daniel.
However, Zeke moved faster.
He caught both security guards by the throat, raised them in the air and then let them go.
Both guards were flung outward.
The whole ordeal took less than three seconds. Neither of the guards had enough time to react.
Zeke steadied Daniel Hinton with his hand saying, “Dad, don't worry. When you accepted me into the family, I promised you that no matter what challenges we face, I'll take them on for you.”
