Chapter 365: Chapter 365
Moreover, the most important thing is that Veridia prohibits private possession of firearms. Seth Shaw kicking the door with a gun to find Paige Sterling and Julian Hawthorne, isn’t that an attempt to shoot them?
One is the chairman of the Hawthorne Group, and the other is a nationally protected scientific talent. Seth Shaw can’t afford the death of either one.
So in the end, not only did Seth Shaw fail in framing and slandering, but he also successfully dug a pit for himself.
Seth Shaw felt utterly hopeless.
The gun was stolen from Ryan Abbott’s room; he suspected that Ryan was hiding the gun to make a move against him.
When he found it, he stole it, put it in his bag, and forgot to find a place to hide it before going straight to find Paige.
When he was beaten by Julian Hawthorne, he just felt something in his bag and intended to take it out to scare Julian. Who knew he would end up hurting himself?
He is injured now, and when he recovers, he will be held accountable.
He panicked; he had only just recognized his ancestry and returned to become a wealthy heir, and now he faces imprisonment, how could he be reconciled?
The gun was stolen from Ryan, so if the police were to hold anyone accountable, it should be Ryan.
But he wasn’t stupid. If he exposed Ryan now, the result would be that both he and Ryan would have to bear the responsibility, mutual destruction, and neither would benefit.
So when Seth Shaw was in the hospital, he contacted Ryan Abbott, implicitly warning him that if he didn’t find a way to protect him, he would tell the police that the gun came from Ryan.
Ryan felt threatened, and naturally, his mood wasn’t good.
The Abbott Family didn’t have much of an inheritance to begin with, and now an illegitimate child wanted a share of the pie. Naturally, Ryan saw Seth as a thorn in his side.
And now that Seth has gotten himself into trouble, he actually wants to drag him down; he immediately had a murderous intent toward Seth.
Since this person was destined to be removed sooner or later, why not take this opportunity to get rid of him?
By then, Ryan would be the only son of the Abbott Family; he would still be the young master, and everything would belong to him.
The lights were off in the ward, with only a sliver of light streaming in from the window.
Seth lay on the hospital bed, in a deep sleep.
At this moment, the door of the ward was slowly pushed open, and a figure dressed in a white coat and wearing a mask tiptoed in, even breathing lightly.
The figure approached the bed, and seeing Seth sleeping so soundly, broke into a smile, whispering, "I don’t want to kill you either, but you can only blame yourself for being ignorant, an illegitimate child trying to compete with me? I’ll settle this today, once and for all."
Thinking of turning him over to the police? Ha, he wouldn’t give Seth such a chance.
A flicker of malice flashed in Ryan’s eyes, then he suddenly grabbed a pillow and pressed it firmly over Seth’s face.
Seth quickly woke up under the suffocating sensation and started to struggle hard.
Ryan gritted his teeth and pressed down hard, and as Seth was injured, his struggling strength was limited. Slowly, the intensity of his struggles diminished, until finally, there was no more movement...
The news of Seth’s death quickly spread, and even the police hadn’t expected the person to die mysteriously in the hospital.
Paige was somewhat dumbfounded, given Seth’s typical behavior; she thought he would still be jumping around for a while. But unexpectedly, just like that... he died?
After seeing the news on his phone, Julian’s face turned blank. He frowned and pinched Paige’s chin, directing her face toward him.
He asked Paige, "Are you sad for him?"
His voice was unmoved.
Paige snapped back and denied, "Not at all."
No sadness was to be found, "I just didn’t expect him to die ."
Julian’s tone was very indifferent, "He died; what’s it to you that you’re zoning out for two whole minutes over him?"
Indeed, he was nothing but an insignificant person.
Still, she couldn’t quite understand how exactly Seth died, but that was for the police to figure out, unrelated to her.
The next day, Paige received a call from Summer Xavier, who was tearfully telling her that she had an accident and was in the hospital.
She exaggerated her injuries as severe, but when Paige got to the hospital, Summer was perfectly fine, only having a scrape on her arm that was bandaged up.
Yet she acted as if she had suffered a severe disability, even needing hospitalization.
Paige remarked, "Occupying medical space is not right."
Summer pouted, looking aggrieved, "Paige, I’m injured, and you say that. I’m really pitiful..."
Paige twitched her mouth, resisting the urge to slap Summer, "Are you okay? How did the accident happen?"
Summer’s face quickly turned a bit unpleasant, "A lunatic hit me with a car on the street today, but fortunately, I dodged quickly, so nothing happened."
That lunatic was targeting her, and when the first attempt failed, they backed up to hit her a second time; it was clearly deliberate. After hitting her, they even provocatively smiled at her.
However, Summer was certain that she didn’t know this lunatic at all. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵
But Austin Xavier has started investigating; someone daring to hit a Xavier with a car, how could the Xavier Family let this go?
Just then, the door to the ward opened, and Austin entered.
Upon seeing Paige present, a glint flashed in his eyes.
Summer immediately asked, "Brother, have you found out? Who is that person? Why did he hit me with a car?"
Austin tossed a file envelope to Summer and sat by the side without saying a word, only occasionally glancing at Paige.
Summer flicked through the contents of the envelope; there were documents and photos, and the more she looked, the uglier her expression became.
Paige didn’t go over to look, but seeing Summer’s unpleasant expression, she knew the culprit’s identity might be complex.
As Summer finished going through everything, unable to calm down, her phone began to ring.
Paige saw the name Harrison Sheridan on the screen.
Not long ago, Mrs. Xavier had set Summer up on a second date, which was successful; the man’s name was Harrison Sheridan, and he’s now Summer’s boyfriend. They’ve been together for two months.
Usually, when Paige saw Summer taking a call from Harrison, Summer seemed to be in a good mood, but now, on receiving his call, her face was still sour.
It seems the person who hit Summer with the car was connected to Harrison.
The phone rang for quite a while before Summer answered.
On the other end, Harrison’s voice bore some restraint, "Summer, you know Gordon Quinn, right?"
Summer coldly replied, "Of course, the person who hit me. My brother has already checked into it."
Harrison’s voice was barely suppressing his anger, "Then you should also know he’s my brother."
Had Austin not checked the information, she might really have believed in the purity of their socialist brotherly love.
Over there, Harrison, already at his wit’s end, raised his voice full of anger.
"Since you know, why did you call the police to arrest Gordon? And even sued him?? Don’t you know he’s a high achiever with a bright future? Your lawsuit destroys his prospects. How can you be so vicious?"
Summer’s expression remained cold, her fists clenched tightly.
Since they started dating, Harrison has always been gentle and considerate, never had he used such a harsh tone.
