    Kathleen sneered, “It’s pointless for you to look at him. There’s nothing he can do too.”Wilbur remained


    silent while wearing a grimace.“Hurry up and move,” The police urged Raymond.Raymond gritted his


    teeth. “You must hang in there, Wilbur!”Wilbur nodded.Then, the police brought Raymond away.The


    others who attended the banquet gradually left as well.All of them were surprised by the unexpected


    turns of events that night.Soon, the crowd dispersed.Kathleen stared coldly at Wilbur. “You won’t hold


    on for long.”“Don’t be so presumptuous!” He red at her.“Are you still expecting Adina’s help? You


    can give that idea up because she’s having trouble saving herself now.” Kathleen smiled


    indifferently.“What did you say?” Wilbur frowned.“Her right to the inheritance was terminated. She has


    lost everything now,” Kathleen said coldly.“Impossible!” Wilbur was in disbelief.“Feel free to contact her


    and ask her yourself if you do not believe me,” Kathleen said in a meaningful tone.He immediately took


    out his phone and called Adina.When the call connected, he heard Adina’s hysterical sobs through the


    speaker.“Wilbur, we’re doomed!” Adina wailed in distress.“What’s the matter?” Wilbur knitted his


    brows.“I lost my ce in the royal family.My family is abandoning me. My mother did something wrong


    and dragged me into the mess,” Adina cried out loud.“What?” He froze.He slowly put down his phone


    while glowering at Kathleen. “What have you done?”“I’m just letting you all have a taste of your own


    medicine. Are you satisfied with this oue?” Kathleen said expressionlessly.Consumed by rage,


    Wilbur dashed forward in Kathleen’s direction.Bang!Samuel pulled the trigger of the gun in his left


    hand, shooting Wilbur on his leg.“Ah!” Wilbur shrieked.He fell to the ground, hugging his injured leg in


    agony.Kathleen merely stared at him with a poker face. “This is retribution. You are being punished for


    the harm you were about to inflict on others.”Colors drained from Wilbur’s face. “Kathleen!”She


    continued gazing at him emotionlessly. “Wilbur, stop fantasizing that you still have the opportunity to


    stage aeback. That will never happen.”“Bring him away and ensure he is monitored at all times,”


    Samuel ordered sternly.Tyson, leading his subordinates, captured Wilbur and took him away.The other


    members of the Blissful Sect were at a loss.Kathleen regarded them with a frosty expression. “If all of


    you are sufficiently wise and sensible, you should know better than to continue holding those


    weapons.”A part of the crowd obediently put down their weapons.“Regardless of where your loyalties


    lie in the past, the Blissful Sect belongs to Ms. Watson from now onwards. She will not make things


    difficult for any of you if you heed hermand. However, if you all still wish to blindly assist Raymond


    or Wilbur, don’t me me for not being merciful!”The rest of the Blissful Sect members, still holding


    their weapons a moment ago, hastily dropped them upon hearing Kathleen’s speech.Kathleen uttered


    solemnly, “Very good. No matter who bes the leader of the Sect, your welfare and benefits will not


    be affected. Therefore, all of you can be at ease.”Everyone lightly bobbed their heads.Kathleen nodded


    in satisfaction. She turned to look at Samuel. “Let’s go. We’ll head to the hospital first.”“Okay.” They


    went to the hospital in a hurry.When Kathleen and Samuel arrived at the hospital, rissa was already


    transferred from the operating theatre to the ward.The doctor exited the ward and said grimly, “Ms.


    Watson’s brain nerves were destroyed. I’m afraid…”“How is she?” Charles asked.“I’m afraid she will


    stay a fool the rest of her life,” the doctor uttered in resignation.What?Charles was shocked to his


    core.Kathleen frowned deeply as well. “Is there no other way to save her?”“The only option is to


    operate on her, but…” The doctor paused briefly before continuing, “This surgery is extremely


    Charles.She could sense his anguish. “I am the reason she became like this! I neglected her because I


    was too busy since my return. Little did I expect Raymond treated her in this manner.”Kathleen did not


    know how to console her brother.Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs, but Raymond is simply


    evil. Or perhaps he did not anticipate this oue himself.“Charles, I’ll handle rissa’s surgery! Let’s


    take a look at her condition first,” Kathleen piped up.Charles grimaced. “Kate, I cannot leave rissa to


    her own devices in her current state.”“I know.” Kathleen nodded.“Since we are engaged, I will take care


    of her in the future.” Charles gazed at the ring on his finger. “I’ll take over the Blissful Sect. You can rest


    assured.”Kathleen pursed her lips. “Charles, don’t worry. I’m here for you.”Charles nodded. “It’s already


    anythinges up,” Kathleen said.“All right.”Kathleen and Samuel turned around and left the


    hospital.Rory sprinted over when they returned to the hotel. “Ms. Johnson, Old Mrs. Lester is


    here.”“What?” Kathleen was astounded. “Lead me to her!”“Follow me.” Rory brought Kathleen upstairs


    at once.They arrived before a presidential suite.Kathleen was about to knock on the door when the


    door swung open.Yvonne looked at her with an amused expression. “You’re back.”Kathleen pursed her


    lips. “I heard that you’ve arrived.”“That’s right. She wishes to meet with you,” Yvonne replied.Kathleen


    stepped into the room, wearing an anxious look.Old Mrs. Lester has just undergone surgery. How could


    she travel so far?Kathleen went into the bedroom and saw Betty lying partially on the bed.Betty’s face


    was slightly pale but generally appeared rtively well and lucid.Kathleen pursed her lips.Tears


    brimmed in Betty’s reddened eyes. “Are you still resolved on not acknowledging me?”Kathleen froze as


    tears rolled down her cheeks.Initially, she had indeed made the decision not to reunite with


    Betty.However, Kathleen’s resolution wavered when she saw the old womaning so far to meet with


    her despite thetter’s frail body condition. Betty had taken quite a risk.“Grandma.” Kathleen moved


    forward and hugged Betty.Betty’s eyes glistened with tears.Yvonne wiped the tears off her face.


    “Congrattions, Mom. The granddaughter you’ve been missing so dearly has finally returned to your


    side.”“That’s right.” Betty sighed. “God has blessed me with great fortune.”After that, Kathleen


    examined Betty’s condition and heaved a sigh of relief. “Grandma, you cannot behave like this in the


    future. You can call me if you miss me, and I’ll visit you.”Betty grasped Kathleen’s hands. “I’ve made


    the decision. There’s not much time left for me to live. I did not get to meet your father after we became


    separated at his birth. From now on, I’ll be where you are. I wish to return to Jadeborough with you.

    What do you say?”“Really?” Kathleen was delightfully surprised. “If uncle and the others agree, I am


    certainly more than happy with this arrangement!”“Do they dare to disagree?” Yvonne beamed. “You


    don’t have to worry about that.”
