Samuel slammed his hand on the nightstand, making the objects on it tremble..
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly. “The Stout family do they really think there’s no one backing you if I don’t step in?”
Samuel thought, I had already taken the land that the Stout fartly wanted, but they still hadn’t learned to hold back. Since that is the case, he wouldn’t be polite.
Isabella knew Samuel was angry, but she wasn’t ready for him to get involved in this matter yet.
She put the coffee cup on the cupboard, looked at Samuel, and shook her head. Tll do it myself to get back at the Stout family.
Samuel looked at her with disapproval and said, “You still can’t toughen up.”
Isabella was too soft–hearted.
That was why the Stout family of three had been bullying her. They had gone too far this time, and still, no action was taken against them.
Isabella shook her head and got out of bed. She slowly walked to the window, her cold eyes gazing outside as she said in at calm voice. The Stout Group only reached its current status because of my grandparents‘ support back then.”
But Hudson seemed to have forgotten all about these things.
Once people became wealthy and their status rose, they faced more temptations, and their original intentions often faded
away.
Isabella turned to look at Samuel, a flash of cold determination in her eyes. “The Stout Group meant everything to my mother. I’m going to take it back myself. I won’t be lenient with them anymore,” she said.
Hudson’s actions over the years had already broken her heart.
This time, it was definitely the end of their relationship,
‘T’ll handle the Lane family then, Samuel said.
This was already Samuel’s compromise. If Perry were here, he would know CEO’s patience had reached its limit.
But Isabella shook her head, noticing Samuel’s expression growing darker. She softly said, “Sometimes, dog–eat–dog situations are the most entertaining. They’re all stepping stones for me”
Samuel watched Isabella for a long time before seemingly giving in. “Alright, just tell me if you need anything”
Isabella nodded seriously this time. She didn’t refuse.
Samuel’s expression softened as he stood up and said, “You keep resting, I’m going to the office.”
He turned and took a coat from the rack, putting it on
Isabella, wanting to avoid delaying Samuel’s work, didn’t try to keep him. She simply replied, “Go ahead, drive safely.”
Samuel nodded knowingly.
Isabella watched him as he walked out the door, her eyes gaining a touch of warmth.

No 3 Municipal Hospital.
In a luxurious suite, Cameron lay sprawled on the large white beil, groaning repeatedly, “Oh my, oh no.”
The constant cries reached Dominic’s ears as he sat on a wide black couch, glaring angrily at the three members of the Stout family.
Hudson, Ivana, and Molly stood respectfully to one side, their faces full of apology and trying to be pleasing.
Hudson placed a basket of fruit on the large coffee table and said in a low, appeasing voice, ‘Mr. Lane, I’m really sorry.”
He stepped forward and unwrapped the red paper from the frud basket, revealing a bank card underneath.
“Here’s 1.5 million dollars, a small token of my apology. I hope you won’t be offended, Mr. Lane.”
Hudson felt his heart ache. The plot of land wasn’t even secured yet, and he had already spent 15 million dollars.
In his mind, he cursed Isabella a thousand times over.
If that troublesome girl had been a bit more obedient, none of these problems would have
Molly and her daughter Ivana stood quietly to the side, not daring to speak, only managing weak smiles
Dominic slowly stood up and took the bank card from the fruit basket. He glanced at Hudson with a slight smirk, and said, 15 million dollars?”
Hudson’s eyes brightened, thinking the money would be helpful. He nodded eagerly at Dominic and answered, “Yes, Mr. Lane, as you see…..
–
Before Hudson could finish his words, Dominic flung the card right at him, which hit Hudson’s face and gave out a somewhat muffled sound.”
Dominic jumped to his feet, glaring furiously at Hudson, whose face visibly turned pale
Pointing a trembling finger at Cameron, who was moaning loudly on the bed, he shouted, “Hudson, if anything happens to my son, you’re going to pay for it with your life.”
Molly and Ivana instinctively trembled, frightened by the outburst
Though both women were filled with anger, they turned to look at Cameron, lying on the bed wrapped in bandages, and. immediately lost the courage to speak.
Ivana thought, ‘Isabella, that witch. This was all her doing
Ivana was so enraged that she wanted to tear Isabella to pieces, and only then could she calm her fury
If she had just stayed with Cameron, none of this would have happened.
Hudson quickly bowed in apology and said, “Please calm down, Mr. Lane. Cameron will surely be okay.”
Molly knew very well that if Dominic couldn’t vent his anger, things might get out of control.
She bit her lip, steeled herself, and put on a friendly smile as she looked at Dominic and said, “Cousin, we’re family, so let’s discuss this calmly. We don’t want to see Cameron in this state either.
She tried to establish a connection with Dominic, hoping it would make the conversation easier.

Hudson managed his emotions as he picked up the bank card from the floor. He put it back on the table and smiled, “Yes, Mr. Lane. If you’re not happy with this, how about 1 add 1 million dollars, just as compensation for Cameron’s medical bills?”
When he mentioned that amount, it felt like his heart was bleeding.
Yet he still had to force a smile.
He had to secure that piece of land.
Dominic glanced at the couple, tapping his fingers on the bank card. “Is my son worth just 2.4 million dollars? Don’t call me cousin, we’re separated by five generations!” he said.
Dominic’s voice suddenly rose. “He’s the only heir of the Lane family”
At this moment, a doctor knocked and entered the room, momentarily stunned by the crowd inside.
The doctor examined the report in his hand and asked, “Who is the patient’s family member?”
Dominic quickly stepped forward, his earlier anger was replaced with nervousness now as he looked at the doctor and said, 1. I’m his dad.”
Everyone in the room focused their attention on the doctor.
The doctor glanced at Cameron lying on the bed and sighed softly with regret, “Your son Cameron may never be able to rise again.
Not even forty, he received such terrible news,
Dominic felt overwhelmed by darkness and collapsed onto the sofa. Fighting off the dizziness, he looked at the doctor in disbelief and asked again, “Doctor, you’re not serious, right?”
The Lane family had no heir yet, and Dominic dared not think what would happen if Cameron could not rise anymore.
Hudson, Molly, and their daughter were completely panicked!
They exchanged glances, shock reflected in each other’s eyes.
Things went beyond their expectations. They didn’t know what to do.
The doctor, understanding the family’s reaction, sighed softly as he placed the examination report on the table. The results are all here. You can take a look.”
With trembling hands, Dominic, picked up the report. As soon as he saw the diagnosis, it felt like every bit of strength left his body.
After the doctor left, Hudson, with a worried heart, stepped forward to help Dominic. He tried to reassure him, “Cameron will definitely be okay, with how advanced medicine is nowadays.”
Before Hudson could finish his words, Dominic yelled at him inanger, “Get out!”
His son had no future left.
These words kept spiraling in Dominic’s mind, and intense anger exploded in his chest.
Seeing no hope, Hudson was not ready to give up and said, “Mr. Lane, if you secure that land, I’ll add 30 million dollars to the offer. How does that sound?”
He was in a panic. If they couldn’t secure that land, the Stout Group might descend into chaos.
Chapter 85
Hudson worked so hard–to–reach his current position and would not watch the Stout Group go down the drain.
Dominic grabbed the fruits Hudson brought and threw them athe three of them.
Ivana was to
too slow to dodge and got hit right in the chest, causing her to scream in pain.
Dominic’s eyes were bloodshot as he shouted, “My son’s in this state, and you still have the nerve to talk with me about that land? You’re finished! You’re all gonna pay for this.”
