    But his sight was blurry, his eyes heavily fixated on the dishes on the table.


    These were birthday meals prepared by his Mom, Selena, and his Granny, Edith, who sneakily


    drugged him.


    A sharp pain hitn’s heart, and he rubbed his forehead.


    “I don’t love Carlene; I don’t want to marry her. Eric may still be alive, so,”


    His words were cut off by Edith.

    though I wish he were.n, if you’re feeling bad, let Carlene help you.”

    “I consider you as family, but what about you? Am I just a substitute for Eric? I’m a person with


    feelings, don’t you guys see that?!” After saying that,n couldn’t be bothered to say more, his aura


    growing colder.


    “I won’t being back.”


    With no hesitation, he walked out.

    Selena, who saw it all, screamed in terror.


    chair on him.


    His head was spinning, and he wasn’t able to dodge it because of his dizziness. The chair hit his head


    hard.


    Edith regretted her impulsive decision the moment the chair left her hand.


    But it was already toote. Blood was spilling fromn’s head, and he copsed onto the floor.


    Edith shivered in fear, while Selena was too shocked to make any noise.

    “Edith, have you gone crazy? This isn! Didn’t you say you wanted to celebrate his birthday?”


    Edith panicked seeingn motionless on the ground.


    “How was I supposed to know he’d be this stubborn! He’s been disobedient since he was a kid, no one


    likes his personality!”


    Selena hadn sent to the hospital immediately.


    And word of what Edith did reached Holden’s ears.


    Furious, Holden had Edith tied up and forcefully sent out of Greenfield.


    “I don’t ever want to see her again!”


    Edith caused a ruckus wanting to see Holden, but he refused even at the risk of his own life, even


    warning Selena.


    “If anything happens ton, you’re leaving with Edith!”


    Selena was left speechless.


    This time, when Steve Raymond came back, the first thing he did at the hospital was p Selena.


    “Wicked woman!”


    Selena saw stars as her cheek swelled up.


    But she didn’t dare to utter a word in front of Steye as she was terrified.


    The other members of the Raymond family were in turmoil, hopingn wouldn’t wake up.


    Withn out of the picture, the position of CEO at the Raymond Corporation would be up for grabs.

    He had taken several heart pills, but his hands were still trembling.


    After a while, he said, “If anything happens ton, everyone involved with this incident will pay the


    price!”


    Selena, who had been pped, shrank back. As for Carlene, she had been sent home.


    But the Shepard family didn’t ept her anymore, so she was abandoned by them again.


    Holden closed his eyes and told the person next to him, “Bankrupt the EverBest Group within two


    days, and send Carlene to prison. I want her to rot in there for the


    rest of her life.”

    Everyone knew Holden was truly angry this time, and no one dared to plead for Carlene.


    Selena sat trembling on the chair, hearing Steve say, “Sign the divorce papers now, I’ve put up with


    you for long enough.”


    Selena looked at him in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes.


    “Dear, please don’t do this, I bore you two children.”


    But Steve gripped Selena’s neck, his eyes filled with hatred.


    “When you treatedn this way, did you ever think that he was our own son! Why did you and Edith


    seed?! Becausen had no guard up against you! How could you do this?!”


    Tears rolled down Selena’s cheeks as she stammered, “It was all Edith’s doing, I had nothing to do with


    it. I really thought Edith just wanted to celebraten’s bted birthday.”
