Noah and Mariah both looked at Alex, worry filling their faces. They looked like they were about to cry.
Their eldest daughter had been taken away by that beast, and now, they werenât even sure whether
she was alive or not. The miserable state their younger daughter was in made their heart tremble when
they thought about it. If her legs couldnât be saved, and she became legless, how would she survive?
The doctor nodded. âThe operation went well, and weâve managed to save both her legs.â
When the couple heard this, they immediately broke down in tears.
However, the doctor then said, âBut the patientâs legs are severely injured. Her meridians, blood
vessels, and nerves are severely damaged, and it may not be convenient for her to walk in the future.â
Mariah was in a daze when she heard that and said, âDoctor, are you saying that my daughter will
become a cripple?â
The doctor sighed. âItâs possible that she can only sit in the wheelchair in the future.â
Whoosh!
Both husband and wife were dumbfounded.
After a moment, they burst into tears once again. Previously, they had cried because of joy, but now,
the tears were caused by bitterness.
âOh, this is really retribution! That Carol of yours really hurt others and herself. Not only that, she even
dragged her sister down⦠I heard that Carol and that man have already slept together? What kind of
evil things are your family doing, hmm?â
A voice sounded out, and it sounded distressed. But if you were to listen closely, you would find only
gloating instead. And the person who had spoken was none other than Olivia Banks.
Mariahâs eyes widened. âOlivia, what nonsense are you spouting?â
Olivia snorted coldly. âWhat do you mean, what nonsense? Every single person in the Rockefeller
family knows about it. Whatâs the use of trying to hide it? Both sisters served him together, and I heard
that both of you even listened to them outside their door. Tsk, tsk. I donât even know what to say about
you both. The world really is full of wonders!â
The doctors and nurses in the operating room had yet to leave. The moment they heard that everyone
was stunned.
However, when they thought back about the marks on Natalieâs thighs while they were performing the
surgery just now, it was evident that there were some problems.
Initially, they sympathized with Natalie, but now they only felt relieved.
Noah chipped in angrily, âOlivia Bank, shut your mouth! Think I wonât dare to kick you out of the
Rockefeller family?!â
Olivia laughed loudly. âKick me out of the family? Who do you think you are? You, Noah, are just a
waste of space in the Rockefeller family. With John in a coma, do you think youâve become head of the
family now? Dream on⦠As for the Rockefeller family, our family will be the one to have the final say.â
âFine, then have the final say in the Rockefeller family in the future!â said Mariah.
Olivia was overjoyed when she heard that. âYou said it. If youâve really regret everything, then your
whole family should die.â
Viscous, right?
Noah looked at his wife in shock.
How could they let Olivia have the final say in the Rockefeller family? The old man had confessed on
his deathbed that the Rockefeller familyâs assets could only be held by the people in the Rockefeller
family. Now that John was in a coma and was unable to wake up, wouldnât letting Olivia be head of the
family mean that Rockefellerâs assets now belonged to the Banks family?
âIn three days, Brittany and Alex will be coming to reclaim the manor and do the final exchange,â
Mariah said. âThis matter will be handed over to you, Olivia⦠The Rockefeller Manor is our familyâs
property, and it will be its ancestral home for generations to come. It must not be given away. I hope
that youâll be able to handle it well and protect the Rockefeller family.â
What did you say?â Olivia started to tremble all over. She still hadnât forgotten the fear she felt when
Alex locked her in the coffin. Her heart was frightened even at the sight of Brittany, and both her legs
would become weak just at the thought of them.
Asking her to confront both mother and son, had she lived long enough of a life?
âN-No, I donât want to. Iâm not a man. How can I be head of the family?â
âAnyone else can be the head of the family⦠As long as itâs not me.â
She then left as though fleeing for her life, as though Alex was on her heels.
***
Alex and the others came out of Rockefeller Manor. Part of the group didnât linger any longer in
California and returned to Michigan directly.
As for Daya and Alex, they were only friends on the surface. They were already out of sorts, coming
together to Rockefeller Manor.
She bid Alex and Brittany goodbye and left the group for the villa in California under the protection of
her female bodyguards.
