Chapter 266
Daniel’s gaze bore into the woman before him, his expression deep and unyielding. Without uttering a
single word, he moved toward the hospital bed.
Albert thought Daniel had changed his mind and wanted to reconcile with his daughter. He immediately
wore a satisfied smile and walked towards him.
He gave Daniel a significant pat on the shoulder. “Now that you’re here, I can finally rx. You two can
take your time to chat. I’ll step out.”
As if harboring lingering concerns, he emphasized, “Vivian mighte across as proud and distant,
but you’re the only one she truly cares for. You must treat her well.”
“If you choose to be with Vivian, you’ll undoubtedly be part of our family’s wealth! You’ll grow even
stronger then…” After a tempting offer, Albert turned to leave.
However, Daniel’s gaze turned sharp. He grabbed Albert’s wrist and twisted it.
Albert’s arm was instantly dislocated.
This abrupt turn of events left Albert in a state of panic. Terrified, he cried and stared at Daniel in
disbelief.
“Daniel, what on earth are you doing?” Vivian’s face turned pale. She clutched Daniel’s wrist, shook her
head, and said, “How could youy a hand on my father?”
Daniel forcefully pulled his hand away. His face was terrifyingly cold. “Albert, let’s get this straight: I
have no connection to your daughter! I’m here to avenge my wife!”
“What… What do you mean?” Vivian nervously leaned back, her eyes filled with confusion and fear.
She couldn’t meet Daniel’s gaze. “I don’t understand what you’re saying. I’m still an injured patient.”
“Injured patient?” Daniel’s gaze turned ice-cold, his voice filled with anger. “Stop acting innocent! If you
want tomit suicide, just go ahead and die! Who cares about someone barely clinging to life? Do
you think I’ll sympathize with you?”
“Or perhaps you believe that, in the midst of this chaos, I would bow down to you due to public
pressure? You fool! If it weren’t for shared business interests, do you think I’d even bother with you?” This is from N?velDrama.Org.
“How dare youy a hand on my wife? You’re courting death! If the Hand family has a death wish, say
it!”
“Daniel, what nonsense are you spouting? How could my daughter harm your wife?” Albert had no
knowledge of what Han Vivian had done.
At this moment, all he could see was his pitiful daughter. He was heartbroken. “And why didn’t you
inform us about your marriage? Why did you make my daughter wait for you?”
Daniel sneered, “Why should I inform you about my marriage? Who do you think you are? Your
daughter had someone scheme against my wife in Newham.”
Whenever Daniel thought of what might happen to Alice if the members of the Dark Night Club hadn’t
appeared on time, he couldn’t suppress his anger.
“Vivian Hand, you’re truly despicable.”
“It’s not… Daniel, you… Please listen to me. The Newham incident has nothing to do with me! Once I
found out, Alice had already fallen victim to their schemes.”
“I even had someone avenge her. Don’t let others’ maniptions create misunderstandings between
us. It’s unfair to me.”
Even in such dire circumstances, Vivian still tried to exin herself and me Alice for sowing discord.
She thought she could make Daniel feelpassion for her if she was delicate enough.
Little did he know that she appeared utterly repulsive and filthy in Daniel’s eyes.
“Put away your pitiful act. It disgusts me! Did you think I’de looking for trouble without evidence?
Newham isn’t the Hand family’s territory. The surveince system doesn’t belong to you!”
Stick controlled all the surveince in Newham, so before Daniel returned to the country, he had
obtained the footage from that night.
If he wanted to seek revenge for Alice, he needed concrete evidence. Otherwise, given the Hand
family’s cun ning nature, they would definitely turn the tables and use his wife.
“Beforemitting wrongdoing, did you not consider dealing with the surveince? Are you too foolish,
or do you assume I’m just as stu pid as you are?”

Chapter 266
“Daniel, even if you have the footage, that doesn’t prove it was my daughter. Maybe someone is
framing her” Albert still wanted to take Vivian’s side.
Daniel sneered, his gaze fixed on Vivian, “If you believe it’s a frame-up, call the police! I’m sure
international police would be more than happy to assist you, Miss Hand”
Vivian’s face instantly turned pale, and she shook her head while trembling.
If international police got involved, this matter would definitely go out of hand.
Furthermore, she had other cases where international police had been unable to find evidence and
thus hadn’t pursued
her.
If Daniel helped those police officers find evidence, she would be finished.
In fact, Daniel was unaware of Vivian’s other cases. He was only threatening her with them.
“What? You have the guts to scheme against my wife but not the courage to go to the authorities?”
Daniel sneered and said cruelly, “I’ll give you two choices now. Die, or the Hand family goes bankrupt!”
He had to avenge his wife.
“Daniel, you’re way too arrogant!” Albert raised his head fearlessly. “The Hand family’s roots span
centuries. You can’t shake
us!”
Daniel’s expression turned cold. “Try me! Let’s see whether I can bring you down.”
“Are you really willing to disrupt the bnce of the business world for the sake of a woman?” Albert’s
entire body trembled with anger.
All this time, he had maintained a moderate image to keep a bnce within the business world.
In doing so, he had also secured some benefits for the Hand family.
He thought he could continue surviving using this approach, but Daniel kept pushing him to his limits.
Da mn it!
“Dad, please don’t get angry right now.” Vivian nced at her father, then immediately turned to Daniel
with tears in her eyes. “Daniel, if you think it’s my fault, then I’m at fault. I can die to show you…”
Daniel kicked her away, his voice stern. “Vivian, stop pretending! If you really want to die, then make
sure you cut your wounds deeper when you attempt suicide!”
Vivian was stunned.
How could Daniel say such a thing?
He clearly had no understanding of being a gentleman to a woman!
“It’s because I can’t let go of you!” Vivian tried to act innocent and kind. “I know you don’t like me being
this way, and I’ll change in the future.”
“But, Daniel… You’re the helmsman of the Kaur family. You need to consider the interests of the Kaur
family. What will the elders of the Kaur family think if you abandon the family’s interests for Alice?”
“You surely wouldn’t want problems between Alice and your family in the future and leave her with no
status in your house, right?”
She believed no prominent family would ept a woman who brought negative consequences to the
family.
Especially a big family like the Kaur family.
“Indeed, I should consider the interests of the Kaur family.” Daniel’s expression turned cold, his gaze
piercing as itnded on Vivian. “Vivian, have you never bothered to find out whether the Kaur family
would sacrifice me for Alice?”
“What… What are you saying?” Vivian’s eyes
widened.
Recalling her father’s call with Alfred earlier, she suddenly realized what was happening.
Alfred didn’t treat her that way because he was in a bad mood. He simply didn’t like her.
They… they all liked Alice?
What was so good about a mere actress?
