His face was bruised from a beating. When word got out that the family's golden boy had been attacked, the entire Shore family rushed to the hospital to see him. The moment his doting grandmother, Marie Greene, stepped into the room, he cranked up the misery.

"Grandma, you might've lost your favorite grandson if you'd come any later." Marie didn't expect him to be so heavily injured, and her eyes welled up at the sight of him. "Oh, my poor Gene! Who's the monster that did this to you? How could they be so ruthless? Aren't they afraid of divine retribution?" She turned and raised her voice. "Where's the doctor? His jaw's swollen to high heaven! Why is no one treating him?" Eugene's father, Patrick Shore, tried to calm her. "Mom, relax. The doctor said these are just flesh wounds.

There aren't any broken bones, so Gene will be out of the hospital in a few days." His son was a mess, and he wasn't exactly thrilled, either. Marie's voice sharpened as she grilled him. "Who did this? Have they caught the bastard who hurt Gene?" Patrick shook his head. "We're still looking into it." The attack had come out of nowhere. All they knew was that Eugene got jumped, but Patrick was still in the dark over who had done it and why. Marie glared at him before turning to Eugene. "Gene, tell me what happened." Eugene was just as confused. All he'd done was flirt with a pretty woman.

How'd he end up getting beaten up? Still, he knew best how to milk the sympathy from his grandmother. "I don't know who hit me. All I know is that they were protecting some chick from the club." He gave a quick rundown of the incident. Marie was livid. "This is outrageous! Do these thugs think they're above the law? And for some cheap woman, too! Call Chief Mead right now and tell him Gene's been attacked. Get him to send his people to the club and pull the security footage.

I don't care who it is-anyone who hurts my darling Gene is going to rot in jail!" Gerard, Eugene's uncle and the real decision-maker in the Shore family, couldn't stand seeing his mother's blind indulgence. He said, "Chief Mead isn't the king of the world. He can't just arrest people on a whim. The matter's still under investigation, so let's wait for the facts before we proceed. olle The source of thɪs content is ⓝovelFind.net Ludo Star 4.5 FREE INSTALLA X CLOSE The family businad been hitting snags lately. Gerard's gut told him the Shore family was being targeted.

It was likely tied to whoever Eugene had crossed. But Marie wasn't having it. "You're fine with waiting, but I'm not. I want the culprit arrested now. Not only will they go to jail, but I'll make sure they go bankrupt. As for that vixen at the club, I want her seized, too! I want to see what kind of tramp thinks she's too good for my precious Gene! "She's working at a place like that, yet she acts like a chaste virgin? She should've been honored that Gene was interested in her in the first place!" Gerard turned to Eugene.

"Are you sure this woman you mentioned really is just a club employee?" Eugene avoided Gerard's gaze. "Based on what I noticed, yeah. Aside from her face, everything about her screamed cheap, especially her clothes. If she were some heiress or a big shot's woman, would she have been dressed so shabbily?" Gerard wasn't convinced. "So, are you saying you're not even sure if she's an employee or a guest at the club?" Marie bristled at that. "What's that supposed to mean? Are you doubting Gene's judgment?" Gerard sighed. "Mom, you know I make a point.

If this woman's got serious backing, I'm worried our family won't be able to handle the fallout." He'd cleaned up plenty of Eugene's messes over the years. If the other party were a nobody, they could crush them and move on. But if he'd provoked someone untouchable, the entire Shore family could go down with him. Marie screeched, "How can a tramp working at a club be anyone important? What kind of backing could she possibly have? Look, I don't care what you say.

Who revealed more than they intended? How might events here reshape the bonds between characters? Beneath the emotions lies the broader world's influence.
