    “Are you defending her too?” Harrington fumed, his voice rising with each word. “Do you think we’re


    worth any respect at all? You’ve been treating me like dirt again and again! Do you think we’re


    pushovers? If you’re so determined to protect this woman, then don’t me me for turning against


    you!”


    Jennifer responded calmly, “I admit I was at fault with what happened between Curtis and Suzan, and


    I’ve always felt apologetic towards your family. But I can honestly say, in this matter, I’ve not wronged


    you.”


    “If you think that gives you the right to push the Richardsons around, you’re sorely mistaken.”


    “Leanne is Curtis’ wife, and she’s part of our family too. Maddox and I will not stand by and let anyone


    bully her.”


    The Wrights’ business empire depended on a steady flow of capital, and they had just secured a billion-


    dor loan from Vector Vista Bank. A feud with the Richardsons could


    jeopardize everything…


    Harrington had hoped to intimidate Jennifer into submission, but instead, he found himself backed into


    a corner, his face darkening.


    Curtis, seeing Harrington’s difort, smirked slightly and saidzily, “Harrington, cool off a bit.


    There’s been some developments thesest few days that you’re unaware of. Maybe you should hear


    them out first.”


    His cryptic hint left Harrington simmering in frustration. “What do you mean by that?” he demanded, his


    face stern.


    Curtis nodded towards the door. “Let Oliviae in.”


    The person who entered was familiar to Harrington; she was the nurse who had been taking care of


    him recently.


    The nurse, appearing demure as ever, came in and recounted what she had witnessed outside his


    ward days earlier. She then produced a bottlebeled “Tropicamide Eye Drops” and ab report.


    “I switched the medication when Ms. Wright wasn’t looking. This bottle has been tested by Mr. Curtis,


    and it doesn’t contain tropicamide-it’s atropine.”

    Harrington’s face turned ashen as he stared at the report, his expression dark and stormy. Suzan, who


    had been lying in the hospital bed, sprang up and snatched the bottle from the


    nurse.


    No wonder there had been no reaction after administering the drops.

    Her face ghostly pale, she shook her head and eximed, “Dad, it wasn’t me. Leanne set me up.”


    It finally made sense to Leanne why Curtis had been so protective, even arranging for a personal


    caretaker for Harrington.


    Fortunately, he had taken precautions.


    Otherwise, if Suzan had seeded, Harrington might have gone blind, and as his primary physician,


    she would have been held ountable.


    “You’re insane,” she said.


    “Olivia is one of your people. You’ve bribed her…”


    Suzan tried to frame Leanne, but udine, who knew her daughter better than anyone else, came to a


    grim realization. She exploded in hysterical fury, “He’s your father! How could you do this? We’ve


    raised you with so much care, and you’d hurt your own parents!” “I didn’t…” Suzan stubbornly denied.


    Harrington, though scheming, was not a fool as the head of a major corporation.


    “Bitch!” In a fit of rage, he pped Suzan hard across the face. The force of the p sent her crashing


    into a nearby table.


    A kettle on the table toppled over, but Curtis, quick as a sh, pulled Leanne into his arms. Her world


    went dark as she was engulfed by Curtis’ scent, and he firmly covered her ears, sparing her from


    hearing the horrific screams.
