Maddox let out a breath of relief. Too soon.
Because when Susie was dragged out by the guards, her body covered in blood, Maddox's eyes widened in shock. He instinctively looked back at Victor.
Victor, as if completely unaware, simply waved a hand. "Take her out." Maddox composed himself and gave the order to escort Susie out.
At the gate. Sierra had already arrived with military and police officials. She was just about to speak when her eyes landed on the figure behind Maddox-and her face drained of color. In a flash, she rushed forward.
Susie was unconscious, her body soaked in blood, her life hanging by a thread. Sierra trembled violently as she declared, "I want to file a report. Victor physically assaulted my mother." "Sierra, don't escalate this," Maddox pleaded.
Sierra shot him a cold glare. "You might fear him. I don't.” Tell him-he's already lost." She didn't bother saying anything more. She immediately ordered her people to transport Susie to the Wynn family's private hospital.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaddox remained at the gates, frozen in place. Sierra's words echoed in his head.
Lost? Maybe. But what could he do about it? He was powerless now.
Meanwhile, Sierra rushed Susie to the hospital. As the emergency room doors swung open, Chase and Jose arrived, both having changed their course after receiving Sierra's update mid-drive.
"How is she?" Jose asked, his voice tight with panic.
"She just went in, Sierra replied quietly.
She didn't mention that Susie's condition was critical-that she barely had a breath left in her. There was no point in saying it now.
Seeing Chase and Jose so stricken. he had no words.
For now, both father and son were too focused on Susic to even consider storming Victor's home.
Before long, a group of high-ranking police officials arrived, visibly tense. Both sides-Victor's and the Wynn family's-were powerful, and this situation had spiraled into a major incident.
"She's still in surgery," Sierra said calmly.

This was going to be a nightmare to handle. A quick glance between them confirmed it-no one envied the responsibility.
Chase and Jose said nothing. Their eyes were locked on the operating room doors.
Sierra had braced herself for bad news-but even so, she was not prepared for how long the surgery took. Nearly seven hours passed before the doctor finally cout.
"Ruptured spleen, two fractured ribs, kidney damage, retinal detachment..." With every word. Chase and Jose's faces darkened.
Jose's jaw clenched. Without a word, he turned to leave.
But Sierra was faster-she grabbed his arm.
"Let go," he said, barely holding back his fury. He didn't want to hurt her-Sierra was the most important person to their family now.
"Calm down," she said gently, gripping his arm tightly before turning to the police officials.
"You heard the report. Now, I expect you to arrest the assailant." "Ma'am," one officer began cautiously, “this is complicated. Mrs. Wynn attacked Mr. Victor first. He was stabbed- Sierra cut him off sharply. "So he gets to beat her half to death? Is that how justice works? Why do we have laws, then?" "Besides, him claiming she stabbed him-where's the proof?" The lead officer frowned. "Only the two of them were in the room." "Exactly. So how do we know he didn't stage it? What if he struck first, and she was defending herself?" Sierra was sure Victor didn't allow surveillance in that room. The alleged stabbing was just his word.
"We'll investigate thoroughly," the officer said.
"If you're investigating, act like it" ve Sierra snapped. "Don't hide behind his foreign status as an excuse." "We'll be watching. And the Wynn family won't forget this." She delivered the warning with ice in her voice.
There was no flaw in her approach-every word calculated, legal, and damning Once the officials left, Sierra turned back to Chase and Jose.
"I'm not letting this go," she said. “But if we strike, it has to be clean don openings. Too many people are waiting for the Wynn family to fall.” 2/3 20:06 Thu, 21 Aug Chapter 537 The Cost of Survival ☐☐☐ 26%2 +20 Free Coins
She knew exactly how they felt-honestly, after seeing Susie in that state, she wanted to lead a charge into Victor's house and kill him with her own hands. But if they acted now, they'd be giving the enemy a perfect excuse to destroy them.
