Suddenly, he understood why she was so desperate to force the city's elites to choose a side.
For Maeve, destroying the Grover family was a matter of urgent necessity.
"There's no need for apologies. Everyone has their own loyalties and priorities."
"My only goal in life right now is to avenge Charlie Wilson. You saw the footage of his brutal death."
"If he hadn't tried to save me, he wouldn't have died."
"I owe him more than just my life. I owe him the heart that Nancy Grover tore out of his chest."
"Until he gets justice, I will never find peace."
Andres reached out and grasped her hand tightly.
"I will help you avenge him."
Although Nancy had survived, she was returned home in a horrifying state.
Seven of her fingernails had been ripped out, a patch of her scalp had been torn away, and she bore severe injuries all over her face and body.
As the cherished daughter of the Grover family, there was no way her relatives would sit idly by after she suffered such abuse.
Upon hearing of her daughter's trauma, Faye Grover dropped all her business affairs and took a red-eye flight back to Aethelburg.
Seeing her daughter tortured beyond recognition sent Faye into a roaring fury.
"That Vance woman has some nerve! Laying a hand on Faye Grover's daughter—she must have a death wish."
Outside the VIP suite of a private hospital, Faye unleashed a scathing interrogation on her two sons, Barton and Simon.
"Are you two just going to stand by and watch after something like this happens?"
"Was the attacker arrested on the spot? Where is she being held? Have you pressured the authorities?"
"I don't care who is backing her. I will make her pay the ultimate price."
Faced with their mother's wrath, neither Barton nor Simon uttered a word.
Their silence only fueled Faye's intense dissatisfaction.
"To ensure Nancy gets the best care, I brought in every top-tier doctor in this hospital to look after her."
Simon was the actual owner behind this elite private hospital.
It was highly prestigious, massive in scale, and held significant weight among Aethelburg's wealthy elite.
The doctors on staff were all absolute titans in the medical field.
Despite his words of concern, Simon truly didn't care about Nancy's injuries at all.
They might share the same mother, but their sibling bond was practically nonexistent.
Simon was a cold, detached man who placed little value on family ties.
Furthermore, he actively disliked Nancy.
She looked harmless on the outside, but her mind was pure poison.
Ever since she was a little girl, her favorite pastime had been dismembering small animals.
