Chapter 174 Forgive? Absolutely Not. Never Ever

Smack! Another crisp slap rang out as it struck Emily’s face.

Emily slumped to the floor. Her hair, which had been neatly tied up, now hung in wild tangles behind her, making her look like she’d lost her mind. Her face was a mess of swelling and redness, almost unrecognizable.

“Emily, are you out of your mind?” Brandon growled, grabbing her by her messy hair and yanking her head up. “Mom’s got a weak heart. Who told you to say those things in front of her?

“If anything happens to Mom, I’ll bury you right alongside her!” He threw Emily hard to the floor. Her head hit the coffee table, blood smearing across the surface.

Brandon didn’t look at her. He snapped at the butler, “Lock her up in the storage room. Nobody is allowed to give her anything to eat, and nobody is allowed to talk to her!”

As Emily was dragged away, her eyes, full of venom, glared out from beneath her messy hair.

Brandon’s face grew darker. ‘This adopted sister is an ungrateful wolf I raised myself, he thought. ‘She did something wrong, and she still dares to look at me like that? No blood relation. No matter what, she’ll always be an outsider

Brandon’s gaze toward Emily turned colder. Then Chase’s panicked voice came through the phone. “Brandon, Mom heard everything Emily said just now. She got so angry that her condition flared up again!”

Brandon’s face darkened, cursing Emily inwardly. ‘Locking Emily up was the right call. She’s gone totally insane, always losing it.’ Then he answered, “I’m coming over right now!”

Whitney didn’t let Emily’s drama get to her at all. After Ryan brought her back to Prestige Manor, she headed straight for the study, teaming up with Charlie to dig through Evan’s digital files, looking for anything shady.

Whitney tried to trace the burner numbers that messaged Evan, but the other side was ridiculously cautious. Each burner number was linked to a different IP address. Once the messages were sent, they turned into untraceable gibberish. Figuring out who was behind it was impossible.

Meanwhile, Ryan had his people tailing Evan in secret, ready to pounce the moment he made a move. But the other side was way too cautious.

After getting the formula, Evan did nothing. He didn’t try to approach Davis with it. He kept doing his usual thing, acting as if nothing had changed.

All they could do now was start hacking into the Dovania account they’d uncovered, hoping to dig up whoever was really pulling the strings.

Charlie was on fire lately, getting more and more pumped with every hack. It had been ages since he’d had this much fup in a real cyber showdown. He was practically buzzing with excitement.

Whitney didn’t want to kill his vibe, so she let him do his thing. She left the study, but Ryan hadn’t come over to greet her yet when her phone suddenly rang.

Whitney glanced at the screen. It was an unfamiliar number from Roynfort. She had a pretty good idea who it might be. Still, she picked up.

Sure enough, Brandon’s urgent voice came through. “Whitney, Mom’s heart acted up again. She got rushed into the ER. You need to get over here, now.” From the way he sounded, Paula was in pretty bad shape this time.

Whitney clicked her tongue, raising an eyebrow as she called it like it was, “Let me guess, Emily set her off, right? Her precious daughter gets her so worked up that she lands in the ER. Bet she’s loving every second of it.”

“Whitney!” Brandon snapped, his voice tight with anger. “She’s your mom, too. She’s in the ER right now, and you’re still making snide remarks? If you’d agreed to let Davis come out of retirement earlier, Mom wouldn’t be in this mess. Whitney actually laughed, her voice lazy and dripping with sarcasm. “What does this have to do with me? This is all on her precious daughter, your darling sister. You chose Emily. Now you deal with the consequences.

“Mr. Brandon Anderson, you’re supposed to be some business genius. Don’t tell me you don’t get something this basic.” She paused, sounding more indifferent. “Cut the crap. Not everyone’s as patient as I am.”

“You!” Brandon was shaking with rage, his voice teeth through the phone.

Soon, someone else grabbed the phone. “Whitney, come on, don’t keep fighting us right now. Mom realized she messed up.

– ant rushed into the ER, she wouldn’t stop calling for you.”

Chapter 174 Forgive? Absolutely Nut Never Ever

It was Chase. Gone was his usual confidence. Now he sounded completely worn out.

Whitney didn’t hold back. “She’s not suddenly overflowing with motherly love, thinking of me on her deathbed. She only wants me to rush over and save her, to make her pain go away.”

‘The Andersons only think of me when they need something. And now, it’s still the same, thought Whitney bitterly.

Chase was used to Whitney’s sharp tongue, but her words still made him frown. “Do you have to be so mean? Can’t you talk like a normal person?”

“Oh, please, you guys used to say way nastier stuff to me than anything I’m throwing at you now. Funny how none of you cared about being cruel back then, huh?” Whitney’s voice was laced with sharper sarcasm.

Chase choked up, his voice rough and thick with emotion. “We were wrong. We messed up before. Please, Whitney, I’m begging you. Come to the hospital and see Mom, okay? I’m asking you as your brother.
