The moment he heard the news, Russ rushed home. He looked Larissa over from head to toe. He checked her all over, making sure she truly wasn’t hurt. Only after he was certain did he finally breathe again.
“Larissa…”
He had just started to speak when she pulled him into the study and closed the door. Only then did she let him continue.
“Russ, I know what you’re going to say,” she said calmly. “Don’t worry. I’m fine.”
Her voice was light. As if the danger she had just faced was nothing at all.
What had she gone through in the past?
How could she stay so calm after something like that?
Russ was full of questions, but he didn’t push her.
Still, he would protect his sister from bullying.
She had him. She had the whole family behind her.
This wasn’t the first time the Turners had tried to kidnap her. But this time, they hadn’t just wanted to scare her. They had wanted her dead.
Jimmy said the men behind those thugs answered to someone named Wilmot.
If Wilmot dared to hurt Larissa, Russ would make sure he paid the price.
His voice turned serious. “No matter what, be careful when you go out from now on. I’ll handle Mr. Bennett,”
Larissa nodded. But deep down, she believed she could handle herself,
After making sure she was fine, Russ immediately called Isaac. He told him that Larissa had almost been killed.
“It’s someone called Mr. Bennett,” Russ said. “You still have influence in Marcrest, right? I want this man erased. Completely.”
Isaac’s face grew solemn.
“You’re a doctor now,” Isaac said. “You shouldn’t get involved in this kind of thing. I’ll deal with him. Anyone who dares touch my sister has to get through me first.”
“You’ll handle it yourself?” Russ frowned. “Are you coming to Marcrest? Can your body handle that?”
Although Russ had heard that Isaac was almost fully recovered, he knew the truth about Isaac’s condition. Isaac had to be trying to reassure him.

Chapter 188 No One Messes With My Sister
He still didn’t believe Isaac was truly back to normal.
If someone hadn’t tried to take Larissa’s life this time, he would never have asked Isaac for help.
Finished
But this involved the underworld. It involved Wilmot. Russ had to be careful. He had to protect his family.
“When you see me, you’ll understand,” Isaac said. “I’ll make sure those who dared to hurt my sister are taken care of. From now on, I’ll protect our family.”
Isaac stood by the floor–to–ceiling window in his office on the fifty–something floor of a high–rise building.
He wore a perfectly tailored custom suit.
The office was decorated in simple monochrome colors. Clean lines. Cold tones. It matched his calm and distant nature.
He still held the phone he had just hung up.
Someone had the nerve to hurt his precious sister. That was asking for serious trouble.
Riley walked in with a stack of documents. The air in the office felt heavier than usual.
“Boss, these need your signature.”
