Moreover, the Chapman family's inheritance had fallen into the hands of Ashlyn, who was the granddaughter of the family.
The director stood there, feeling dizzy as he read netizens' comments and endured Hera's oppressive rebuke.
Somehow, he felt something was amiss.
While Ashlyn led a team of doctors to the operating theater to carry out the medical procedures, Sisley and Hera stood outside the door, gritting their teeth in hatred.
“B*tch! Who gave her permission to operate on him?”
“He's going to be our burden again if he survives the surgery. Damn it!”
“He should just die and end our misery!” Sisley and Hera continued cussing silently.
All members of the Chapman family had arrived except Brad, who was still behind bars.
The rest of the Chapmans, too, had read all the trending stories on Twitter.
They began asking questions in shock and confusion. “What exactly happened? What does it mean when they say we're only allowed to stay in the residence? Aren't we entitled to even a small portion of the inheritance?”
“How could that old man do this to us? How could he be so biased? How could he hand everything to Ashlyn? We work like donkeys for the family, yet we don't get a single cent in return. Doesn't that make us ordinary white-collared workers?” another person added.
Annoyed, Sisley glared at them. “Go and ask that old man! He gave her the family inheritance, not me.”
“Hera, you shouldn't have auctioned off the red jade. You're the one who made your grandpa angry and caused him to fall ill, aren't you?” one of the family members questioned.
“No. It was Ashlyn. Ashlyn did that to him,” Hera defended herself.
“Stop trying to fool us. We're not stupid, okay? We'll not let you off if anything bad happens to Grandpa!”
Faced with the accusations from all the family members, Hera could only keep mum.
Right at that moment, the doors to the operating theater were pushed open.
An anxious-looking nurse wheeled Bob out on a bed.
The elderly man lay quietly on the bed with his eyes shut, and he was covered with a white hospital sheet.
His hair had been shaved, and his head was wrapped with a white bandage.
