Chapter 836
Connor had always managed to keep things peaceful with Lone Island by being a master of disguise. But now, if we don't act fast and deal with him, who's to say he won't pull off something even crazier? How can we be sure that what happened to the White family today won't be our fate tomorrow?"
Tommy, ever the sly one, sidestepped the fact that Abbey had someone attack Flora. Instead, he focused on Connor setting fire to the White family's property.
His words definitely rattled the crowd.
Connor's actions were downright audacious. Like Tommy said, who can promise Connor won't go further next time? And who can guarantee that the White family's downfall isn't a warning for them all?
Connor was a thorn in their side. Until they dealt with him, they'd never find peace.
Karter stood up, sneering, "I can guarantee it! Just because we won't make the same foolish mistakes as your White family!"
"You guys struck first, and now that poor girl is still in the hospital, and you feel like the victim?"
"Tommy, if I were you, I'd be too ashamed to show my face here. I'd be at the hospital apologizing! You've raised a granddaughter as ruthless as Abbey, and you think you bear no blame? If Abbey were mine, even if Connor didn't act, I'd break her legs myself!" Karter's anger grew with each word, thinking of Flora still in the hospital, his rage was like a wildfire, ready to burn for days.
Back in his youth, his words could cut sharper than Adrian's ever did.
Racers like him were all a bit wild, known for their fiery tempers.
In his heyday, who on Lone Island hadn't been on the receiving end of his tirades?
As he got older and climbed the ranks, he had to mellow out a bit, cultivating a more reserved demeanor.
Even when he cursed, it was usually under his breath.
But this time, his fury was at its peak, and he let it out full force.
He couldn't hold back any longer; staying would only make him want to tear the place apart.
His heart ached with anger, and after letting Tommy have it, he shot him a withering look and stormed out.
Just like that, he left, leaving Tommy almost fainting with rage!
How dare Karter, a whole generation younger, speak to him like that!
The Reyes family was on the decline. If it weren't for their pharmaceutical business propping them up, they'd have been booted from the elite families ages ago!
Where did he get the nerve to speak such bold words?
Chairman Chen's eyes twinkled with thought. Karter's behavior today...
It was strange.
He seemed unusually protective of Connor and his fiancée.
...
With the medical tournament going on, every move on Lone Island was under a microscope.
And a contestant getting into a car accident? That was huge.
Even though Lone Island tried to keep it under wraps, it eventually got out to the media.
The news spread like wildfire across the globe.
In Austenberg.
As soon as Raul and Henrik heard,
the news, they hopped on a flimetTêxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Lone Island that night.

Of course, it was on a private jet that Connor had arranged.
"I knew letting Flora go to Lone Island was a mistake!" Raul lamented, a.man who'd been a force in the business world for over a decade, now pitifully wiping tears with the back of his hand. "This has to be tied to the Reyes family!"
He couldn't believe Flora's accident was just a random mishap. It had to be deliberate.
The Reyes family seemed like the most likely culprits!
Could they have discovered Flora's true identity and targeted her because of it?
