As Albert glanced at the business card left by Julia, I hesitated, bracing myself for his next move:
“And about this Julia…?”
“Don’t worry about her for now. Let’s see how my son is doing. I’ll deal with her when he wakes up.”
After Albert and his group entered the elevator, I finally let out a shaky sigh of relief.
The Kramer family wields incredible power in New York.
Julia dared to mess with their heir. It seems her future is bound to be miserable.
Once I left the hospital, I noticed that Julia’s car was gone.
I tried calling her, but no one picked up.
With no other choice, I flagged down a taxi and headed home.
As soon as I stepped through the door, my father hurled an ashtray at my head.
Blood began trickling down instantly.
My mother’s scolding followed right after:
“Alice, can’t you show some ambition for once? You’re absolutely hopeless!”
“Your father has worked tirelessly on construction sites for years. Meeting Mr. Kramer with his son on an inspection is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. If you won’t help your sister, at least don’t sabotage her!”
My father slapped the open wound on my forehead, and I winced in pain.
