"Martin, save me!" Despite shielding her head and face, Serena didn't cease her cries for help within the hospital room, "Martin,

cquick, your sister's gone mad."

Diana's rage intensified, her stiletto heel aimed menacingly at Serena's unprotected head.

The next second, however, the heel didn't make its intended contact; instead, it was caught firmly by Martin's hand.

"Martin, where did you.go?" Serena immediately clung to Martin, her tears flowing freely, "l was so scared I'd never see you again."

Diana was sickened by the display.

"What the hell are you doing?" Martin glared at his sister, furious beyond reason. He had only stepped out to handle some

paperwork, and in the blink of an eye, chaos had erupted. What infuriated him even more was the sight of the two maids and

nurses standing by idly while his sister attempted to bludgeon his girlfriend with her shoes!

Wielding her stiletto like a dagger, Diana accused, "Mom's life is hanging by a thread, and have you, her son, shown any concern?

This tramp has caused all this suffering, and you think I'll stand by? How dare she shamelessly force her way into the Cooper

family? Doesn't she need to pay any price for her brazenness? The little discomfort she's experiencing is nothing compared to what

Mom's going through!"

"Martin, let's call off the engagement. | can't bear this burden any longer." Serena whimpered from her wheelchair, looking the

picture of vulnerability, "I want nothing more than for your mom to live a long, healthy life. Your sister has it all wrong. Your

mother's heart attack was something none of us wanted to see."

"Save your crocodile tears for someone who buys them." Diana looked as if she wanted to lunge forward and strike again.

"Enough." Martin barked in a tone that brooked no argument, "Get out."

Serena felt a sting of injustice. That madwoman had hit her multiple times, and Martin was letting her walk away without

consequence? Clearly, Martin still favored his own family.

Fuming, Diana turned on her heel and stormed out of the room.

Martin immediately knelt beside the wheelchair, checking for injuries, "Did she hurt you anywhere?"

"Martin." Serena began, on the verge of recounting her ordeal when suddenly, Diana, pretending to have left, hurled her stilettos

back into the room. One struck Serena squarely on the head, the other on her face.

Blood gushed from Serena’s nose, her mouth swollen from the impact, teeth stained red.

"Diana!" Martin turned to rebuke his sister, only to see her striding away barefoot, head held high, leaving the chaos behind her.

"What are you all standing around for? Help Serena with her wounds, NOW!" Martin's anger was directed at the nurses nearby.

The nurses finally snapped to attention and hurried to assist.

Serena tried to cry but couldn't even open her mouth; the pain was unbearable. That damn Diana, resorting to such underhanded

tactics!

Meanwhile.

"Boss, we got something." Jack's voice cthrough the phone to Arabella, "Several companies under Lucas’ nhave run into

trouble. Looks like someone called 'Stinger' is behind it. Not much is known about him, but we've tracked him to a rural auction

happening at six this evening."

"Let's check it out." Arabella's voice was indifferent; she was intent on seeing who else Stinger was dealing with and if she could

dig up more leads.

"Boss." Jack hesitated before reminding her, "Haven't you forgotten you're supposed to meet Mr. McMillian at seven tonight for a

dinner event?"
