Chapter 1184
Cynthia blocked Santiago''s caller ID on her phone to prevent him from getting through when he
tried to call her back.
She arrived at the elevator lobby, turned on the recording function of her phone and put it in her bag
before she entered the elevator to go to Room 307.
After she came out of the elevator, she found Room 307 and knocked on the door.
The door opened quickly. Cynthia gazed at the person standing in front of her. It was not Yanora,
but a mediocre-looking middle-aged man.
Cynthia said when she saw the man, "I''m sorry. I got the wrong room."
"No, you came to the right room. Your sister told me to wait for you here. You are Cynthia Moore. I
know you," said the man. Cynthia staggered briefly when she heard what he had said. She
remained still and said, "You''ve mistaken me for someone else. I''m looking for my sister, not you."
With that, she turned around to leave. To her consternation, the man pulled her in and closed the
door right away.
"You did not make a mistake. Your sister asked me toe here. Now that you''re here, don''t even
think about leaving." The man spoke as he dragged her inside. Cynthia tried to struggle but he tore
her clothes off instead.
She took a few steps back and observed the room before saying, "Wait a minute. Say it again. Who
made youe here?"
She put her hand into her bag while she asked and stared at him. She was trying to buy some time.
The manughed despicably. He had been thinking about sleeping with Cynthia for a while then.
"Who asked me toe here? Of course, it''s none other than your sister, Yanora. Who else could it
be?" said the man as he approached her. Cynthia shook her head. "That''s impossible. My sister will
never do this to me."
"Nothing is impossible. Your sister has offered you to me. She told me that since Santiago Richards
had asked people to humiliate her, she wants you to be humiliated as revenge. Then, I''m going to
cut off two of your fingers. That was our deal."
"Leave me alone. I do not believe you. She''s my sister, and we grew up together. She will never
treat me like this. You must be lying to me. Do you
think I''ll believe you?"
She thought for a moment before continuing, "Don''te any closer, or else I am going to make
sure we die together."
"Die together?" A sinister smile spread across his face. "Do you think I''ll let that happen?"
"Yes." Cynthia took out the pistol and aimed at the man. He was taken aback when he saw the
pistol and took a couple of steps back. "You want to kill me?"
"I''ll kill you if you get any closer. You''re the one who made me do it. You knew I''m a member of the
Moore family, yet you are still doing this to me. You''ll be punished."
"You''ve been no longer recognized as a member of the Moore Family since a long time ago. Yanora
has already notified me of it."
"Then, try me. I''ll kill you if youe over. Mark my words."
"Hmph! I don''t think there are bullets in your gun. Your sister told me that you''ve been timid since
young, and that you always keep to yourself when you''re in trouble. Let''s see if you indeed have
bullets in your gun," said the man while he leaped towards her. Cynthia pulled the trigger.
Bang!
Cynthia tensed up and she started to shiver.
"You..." The man didn''t expect that her pistol was loaded. He stared at the gun wound and tried to
raise his hand to point at her, but before he could do so, he fell to the ground with a thud.
Cynthia froze. She slowly lowered her head to look at the man, who was struggling on the floor and
moved himself to one side of the room. Then, she aimed the gun at herself. With another loud bang,
she copsed to the ground as well.
Santiago shuddered as he heard the gunshot when he came out of the elevator. He sprinted
towards Soom 307. It wasn''t until he left the hotel that he discovered that Cynthia was only ten
minutes away from him.
He made a dash for the door and kicked it open.
"Cynthia."
Santiago entered and saw Cynthia, who had fainted onto the ground. He approached her quickly
and nced at the pistol in her hand. He then bent down to pick up the pistol and carried her out of
the room.
He sprinted towards the elevator. When the doors opened, Zorion''s men came into his sight. They
were surprised for a second before they gave way to him. Santiago held her tightly as he rushed to
the car and they headed straight for the nearest hospital.
"Doctor... Doctor..."
After entering the hospital, Santiago shouted for help. The medical officers brought her to the
emergency room right away when they noticed the gunshot wound.
Santiago followed them into the emergency room. The doctor tried to stop him, but he refused to
leave. The doctor had no option but to let him be.

The medical officers had no way to deal with a stubborn person like him.
"The heart is intact. Fortunately, the bullet did not pass through her heart," said the doctor as he
performed the operation. Santiago finally felt more reassured as he heard what the surgeon had
said. He waited in the operating theater until the surgery ended.
Following that, she was sent to the intensive care unit. Outside the ward, Santiago stood with his
arms on his waist and lowered his head to calm himself down.
Zorion''s men were waiting for him by the side. After a long time, Santiago finally said, "Go to the
scene and check if the man has died. If he hasn''t, then give him two more shots."
"Yes, sir."
They turned around and left while Santiago remained rooted to the spot. After a while, he sat
down.
The doctor updated him on Cynthia''s condition. "Miss Moore has managed to survive the critical
period, but it will take a long time for her to recover. I suggest that she recuperate abroad. There are
still some shorings in terms of the local medical technology."
"I''ll consider your suggestion. Please take good care of her."
"We will."
The doctors left, leaving Santiago alone in the empty corridor. He stayed in the hospital for the
entire day until Jepherson came to visit at night.
Santiago turned his head to look when he heard footsteps approaching. When he saw Jepherson,
he turned his face away.
"How is she?"
Jepherson walked over to take a look through the window of the intensive care unit and found that
she was still unconscious. He then sat down beside Santiago.
Santiago raised his head and took a couple of deep breaths. "I won''t let her off the hook easily."
"If you want to get revenge on her sister, then you''d better make hay while the sun shines. She will
stop you from doing it once she wakes up." Jepherson didn''t try to talk Santiago out of it. He thought
it was fair since they hurt Cynthia first.
Santiago looked at him. "What about you?"
"To bring down the Moore family has never been our intention. Although we were regarded as their
opponent all this while, all we ever wanted was to establish a foothold in Capital City. We only
wanted topete fairly."
"Throughout the twenty years of hard work, we have neither let anyone down, nor did we harm
anybody. Johan is not a fool. There''s no such thing as the eternal ruler, and it doesn''t matter who
rules the city. It''s just that we managed to catch up on them."
Jepherson had no intentions to bully anyone. However, some people had crossed the line, and so
he wanted to seek justice from them.
He took a nce at Cynthia and added, "Even though she is from the Moore family, you are her
family ever since she left the Moore family for you. Now that somebody is trying to hurt her, we have
the right to seek justice for her."
