Chapter 151
Mandy hurried forward, worry etched across her face as she looked at Seline. “Seline, are you okay?!” The Lloyd family’s actions were simply too much! They had even offered an extra ten million dollars, yet they still refused to accept it.
Seline shook her head. Clutching her chest, she curled up in the corner without saying a word. Her gaze flickered toward Todd, who was wrapped in layers of bandages, his breaths seething with resentment. With the kind of person he was, it was only a matter of time before he was rendered impotent—and that was already a great mercy.
Thinking of that man, Seline shivered uncontrollably. He had actually followed through with his threat. He was too ruthless.
Henry’s expression was equally grim, but for the sake of securing the land, he suppressed his frustration and stepped forward. “Mr. Lloyd, you’ve misunderstood us. That’s not…”
Frankie, that old bastard! Todd was already ruined. What was the point of throwing a fit? Making more money would be a far better use of his time.
Frankie, however, was seething with murderous intent. Ignoring Henry’s words, he grabbed a nearby ashtray and hurled it at them. Henry dodged just in time; otherwise, it would have hit him directly. He looked down at the shattered ashtray on the floor, his forced smile finally faltering. Seline tugged at his sleeve and said in a lowered voice, “Dad, let’s just leave.”
Franke looked like he was on the verge of a full-blown meltdown. Staying any longer wouldn’t do them any good. Mandy took a step forward and said softly, “Yes, let’s go back and discuss things later.”
Reluctantly, Henry cast a final glance at Frankie. “Mr. Lloyd, we’ll be taking our leave for now. We’ll visit again another day.”
But before he could even finish his sentence, Frankie grabbed whatever was on the table and threw it at them again. “Henry Yates, don’t think I’m done with you!”
The three members of the Yates family had no choice but to flee the ward.
On the hospital bed, Todd struggled weakly, his voice hoarse. “Dad, what did the doctor say?”
Franke immediately dropped what he was holding and rushed to Todd’s bedside, tears streaming down his face. “Don’t worry, son. No matter what, I’ll find a way to cure you.”
Todd’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at his father. What did he mean by that? Was he dying? His breath caught in his throat, and in the next second, he collapsed into unconsciousness.
Franke’s face contorted in terror. “Doctor! Doctor!” He shook Todd’s lifeless body frantically, his cries echoing in the ward. “Todd, you can’t do this to me! My son!”
An hour later, Henry, Seline, and Mandy returned to the bourgeois Yates residence from the hospital. The moment they stepped inside, Seline sank into the ornate, elegant couch, her face clouded with worry. She sighed. “What do we do now?”
With the way the Lloyd family was acting, they would surely come after them for revenge. Before she could react, Henry stormed over, his face contorted with rage. He raised his hand and slapped Seline hard across the face. The sharp sound echoed through the room, and Seline was slammed deeper onto the couch from the force of the blow.
Mandy’s expression changed drastically. “Henry!”
Henry’s hands trembled as he pointed at Seline, his voice shaking with fury. “This was your brilliant idea??!” He had barely held himself together at the hospital and in the car, swallowing his anger to avoid making a scene. And now, she had the audacity to sit there and ask what to do next?
