Chapter 499 Dare

Kathleen sneered, “It’s pointless for you to look at him. There’s nothing he can do too.”Wilbur remained

silent while wearing a grimace.“Hurry up and move,” The police urged Raymond.Raymond gritted his

teeth. “You must hang in there, Wilbur!”Wilbur nodded.Then, the police brought Raymond away.The

others who attended the banquet gradually left as well.All of them were surprised by the unexpected

turns of events that night.Soon, the crowd dispersed.Kathleen stared coldly at Wilbur. “You won’t hold

on for long.”“Don’t be so presumptuous!” He glared at her.“Are you still expecting Adina’s help? You

can give that idea up because she’s having trouble saving herself now.” Kathleen smiled

indifferently.“What did you say?” Wilbur frowned.“Her right to the inheritance was terminated. She has

lost everything now,” Kathleen said coldly.“Impossible!” Wilbur was in disbelief.“Feel free to contact her

and ask her yourself if you do not believe me,” Kathleen said in a meaningful tone.He immediately took

out his phone and called Adina.When the call connected, he heard Adina’s hysterical sobs through the

speaker.“Wilbur, we’re doomed!” Adina wailed in distress.“What’s the matter?” Wilbur knitted his

brows.“I lost my place in the royal family.My family is abandoning me. My mother did something wrong

and dragged me into the mess,” Adina cried out loud.“What?” He froze.He slowly put down his phone

while glowering at Kathleen. “What have you done?”“I’m just letting you all have a taste of your own

medicine. Are you satisfied with this outcome?” Kathleen said expressionlessly.Consumed by rage,

Wilbur dashed forward in Kathleen’s direction.Bang!Samuel pulled the trigger of the gun in his left

hand, shooting Wilbur on his leg.“Ah!” Wilbur shrieked.He fell to the ground, hugging his injured leg in

agony.Kathleen merely stared at him with a poker face. “This is retribution. You are being punished for

the harm you were about to inflict on others.”Colors drained from Wilbur’s face. “Kathleen!”She

continued gazing at him emotionlessly. “Wilbur, stop fantasizing that you still have the opportunity to

stage a comeback. That will never happen.”“Bring him away and ensure he is monitored at all times,”

Samuel ordered sternly.Tyson, leading his subordinates, captured Wilbur and took him away.The other

members of the Blissful Sect were at a loss.Kathleen regarded them with a frosty expression. “If all of

you are sufficiently wise and sensible, you should know better than to continue holding those

weapons.”A part of the crowd obediently put down their weapons.“Regardless of where your loyalties

lie in the past, the Blissful Sect belongs to Ms. Watson from now onwards. She will not make things

difficult for any of you if you heed her command. However, if you all still wish to blindly assist Raymond

or Wilbur, don’t blame me for not being merciful!”The rest of the Blissful Sect members, still holding

their weapons a moment ago, hastily dropped them upon hearing Kathleen’s speech.Kathleen uttered

solemnly, “Very good. No matter who becomes the leader of the Sect, your welfare and benefits will not

be affected. Therefore, all of you can be at ease.”Everyone lightly bobbed their heads.Kathleen nodded

in satisfaction. She turned to look at Samuel. “Let’s go. We’ll head to the hospital first.”“Okay.” They

went to the hospital in a hurry.When Kathleen and Samuel arrived at the hospital, Clarissa was already

transferred from the operating theatre to the ward.The doctor exited the ward and said grimly, “Ms.

Watson’s brain nerves were destroyed. I’m afraid…”“How is she?” Charles asked.“I’m afraid she will

stay a fool the rest of her life,” the doctor uttered in resignation.What?Charles was shocked to his

core.Kathleen frowned deeply as well. “Is there no other way to save her?”“The only option is to

operate on her, but…” The doctor paused briefly before continuing, “This surgery is extremely

complicated. There won’t be any doctor with the courage to take up this challenge.”Kathleen gazed at

Charles.She could sense his anguish. “I am the reason she became like this! I neglected her because I

was too busy since my return. Little did I expect Raymond treated her in this manner.”Kathleen did not

know how to console her brother.Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs, but Raymond is simply

evil. Or perhaps he did not anticipate this outcome himself.“Charles, I’ll handle Clarissa’s surgery! Let’s

take a look at her condition first,” Kathleen piped up.Charles grimaced. “Kate, I cannot leave Clarissa to

her own devices in her current state.”“I know.” Kathleen nodded.“Since we are engaged, I will take care

of her in the future.” Charles gazed at the ring on his finger. “I’ll take over the Blissful Sect. You can rest

assured.”Kathleen pursed her lips. “Charles, don’t worry. I’m here for you.”Charles nodded. “It’s already

late now. You should go back first with Samuel. I’ll stay and look after Clarissa.”“Okay. Call me if

anything comes up,” Kathleen said.“All right.”Kathleen and Samuel turned around and left the

hospital.Rory sprinted over when they returned to the hotel. “Ms. Johnson, Old Mrs. Lester is

here.”“What?” Kathleen was astounded. “Lead me to her!”“Follow me.” Rory brought Kathleen upstairs

at once.They arrived before a presidential suite.Kathleen was about to knock on the door when the

door swung open.Yvonne looked at her with an amused expression. “You’re back.”Kathleen pursed her

lips. “I heard that you’ve arrived.”“That’s right. She wishes to meet with you,” Yvonne replied.Kathleen

stepped into the room, wearing an anxious look.Old Mrs. Lester has just undergone surgery. How could

she travel so far?Kathleen went into the bedroom and saw Betty lying partially on the bed.Betty’s face

was slightly pale but generally appeared relatively well and lucid.Kathleen pursed her lips.Tears

brimmed in Betty’s reddened eyes. “Are you still resolved on not acknowledging me?”Kathleen froze as

tears rolled down her cheeks.Initially, she had indeed made the decision not to reunite with

Betty.However, Kathleen’s resolution wavered when she saw the old woman coming so far to meet with

her despite the latter’s frail body condition. Betty had taken quite a risk.“Grandma.” Kathleen moved

forward and hugged Betty.Betty’s eyes glistened with tears.Yvonne wiped the tears off her face.

“Congratulations, Mom. The granddaughter you’ve been missing so dearly has finally returned to your

side.”“That’s right.” Betty sighed. “God has blessed me with great fortune.”After that, Kathleen

examined Betty’s condition and heaved a sigh of relief. “Grandma, you cannot behave like this in the

future. You can call me if you miss me, and I’ll visit you.”Betty grasped Kathleen’s hands. “I’ve made

the decision. There’s not much time left for me to live. I did not get to meet your father after we became

separated at his birth. From now on, I’ll be where you are. I wish to return to Jadeborough with you.

What do you say?”“Really?” Kathleen was delightfully surprised. “If uncle and the others agree, I am

certainly more than happy with this arrangement!”“Do they dare to disagree?” Yvonne beamed. “You

don’t have to worry about that.”
