Hearing this, Lily Summers fainted from pure shock.
Logan Foster tapped her shoulder lightly. "Hey, are you seriously that easily scared?"
...
Alaina Rossi had just finished washing up and was sitting on the edge of her bed when her phone rang with a call from Logan.
Hearing that Lily had been in a car accident and was rushed to the ER, she quickly asked, "Is it serious? Did she hit anyone? How is she doing right now?"
"Fortunately, she didn't hit anyone; she's the only one hurt. But, since she ended up in my hands, do you really think I'll go easy on her?" Logan said with exaggerated seriousness. "Let me tell you, this is the perfect time for some payback."
Alaina didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Stop messing around. You'd never do that."
"Relax," Logan replied. "There's no internal bleeding, and her brain is fine. She's been sent to the ward. After a minor surgery and a cast on her fracture, she'll be good as new in a few months."
Hearing this, Alaina breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
"But the nurses said she's being incredibly stubborn and refusing to let us notify her family, so I had to call you. See if the Summers family wants to send someone over to stay with her," Logan said.
Alaina gave a soft hum of agreement, hung up the phone, and hurried to find Mrs. Gable.
Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Gable immediately gathered a few staff members and headed to Harrington Memorial Hospital.
Alaina returned to the villa, her sleepiness completely gone.
With Lily injured, Silas Summers would likely blame Ethan Harrington for the entire mess.
The next morning, news of Lily's drunk driving and severe injuries dominated the headlines.
Given Lily's high-profile status, the scandal instantly thrust both Lockwood Holdings and Apex Microelectronics into the center of a media firestorm.
Sitting in her office, Alaina scrolled through the flood of articles, a knot of complex emotions tightening in her chest.
Lockwood's public relations department remained dead silent, not even releasing a basic statement.
Without Silas's explicit approval, there was no way this kind of news would have ever seen the light of day.
Now, she truly couldn't figure out what he was playing at.
