Chapter 264 Rubbing Salt On The Wound
The hospital corridor in the early morning.

Hazel sat on a cold chair, carefully flipping through the documents inside. Apart from the ones in her hands, the rest were with the Scott family.
Her mother had already changed her name before she married into the Robinson family.
After reading what was inside, Hazel felt as if she was enveloped in a dark cloud.
From the heart to the limbs, there was a pervasive numbness and exhaustion.
Hazel had someone destroy the documents in her hands, while also learning from Johnson that Leo had already destroyed other electronic
versions.
I didn’t sleep all night, and my eyes started to feel sore.
In the blink of an eye, a few drops of tears would flow out, and she casually wiped them away with her fingertips. Hazel stood up and said, “Let’s go, clean up this mess before leaving Los Angeles, so that it won’t cause any more trouble for me in the future.” The black Bentley swiftly weaved through the bustling streets of Los Angeles, heading towards a secluded area, becoming more and more remote as it went further.
Apart from the old Los Angeles aristocracy, few people nowadays know about the former bustling glory that once existed here. The car stopped on the empty land that had long been leveled. Hazel tightened her coat and looked at the desolate land in front of her. It was hard to imagine that the most famous legendary figure of Los Angeles once lived here.
A hundred years ago, the major aristocratic families felt honored to be able to enter here, but now only the cold autumn wind blows through.
Marlon, her grandfather.
The Fowler family reached the peak of dominance.
Not only in Los Angeles, but even in later cities like Seattle and Baltimore, those children of wealthy families would respectfully call him Mr. Fowler when they saw him.
Not to mention the members of the Fowler family themselves, even the butler, driver, and servants of the Fowler family were also sought after by many people outside.
But several decades ago, there was a turmoil.
The Fowler family’s strength became the prime target that the Northern power centers wanted to seize, with numerous dirty and despicable
means.
In order to protect his only daughter, Marlon sent her abroad and took care of everything she would need for her future life. Hazel’s mother, Jessie, was once the most prestigious socialite in Los Angeles, and she was the apple of her grandfather’s eye. However, during the prime of her life, she encountered a man named Ivan Scott.
After being deceived both emotionally and physically, she finally realized that Ivan had approached her with a hidden agenda from the beginning.
The purpose was to swallow up the wealth of the Fowler family!
The document clearly stated that someone used unscrupulous means to steal her grandmother’s ashes and forced her grandfather to commit suicide.
Otherwise, he would pour all of his ex–wife
ashes into the fire, so that she would never be at peace in her next life.
Her grandfather, a person like that, only loved one woman in his lifetime, her grandmother. The two of them grew up together, got married, and had children.
She let her mother see the most beautiful aspect of love.
So her mother believed firmly that there was the purest and most beautiful love in the world, and she longed for it in her heart.
Unfortunately, until her death, she regretted her choices.
Ivan, the head of the Scott family.
A prominent figure that led the northern aristocratic circle.
Also Hazel’s…

Pushing aside the tangled vines, В stone door crafted from giant rocks was revealed in front.
The dim, damp, and chilly basement was filled with an unpleasant odor.
An elderly figure collapsed on the cold ground.
Although Keegan has been developing in Los Angeles, he has never set foot on this side of the land again.
After being brought here last night, he was immediately thrown into this basement.
As Johnson left, he also took away all the brightness of this space.
Time seemed to freeze in this moment.
Even the slightest sound would be amplified several times here.
At this moment, with Hazel’s arrival, the oil lamp on the basement wall was lit.
A wind blew in through intentionally left ventilation cracks, causing the candle flame to flicker and making the space appear even more cerie and terrifying.
At this time, Keegan also finally saw what the basement looked like.
Even though he, being born and raised in the Fowler’s villa, didn’t know that there was such a large secret room in the back mountain.
Keegan recalled the legends about the Fowler family in the martial arts world.
The firelight burned in the depths of my eyes, could it be true that those rumors from the past were real?

Marlon did not take away his enormous wealth at all, but left it all behind in an undisclosed secret base in Los Angeles!

filled with mystery.
From the moment I stepped in, I felt a sense of loneliness and oppression.
Looking at the man with an inflamed wound on the ground, Hazel’s gaze swept over the dark corner of the basement, where all the new products she had developed had already evaporated completely.
“What you did back then, is it something you will confess on your own, or do I have to make someone pry open your mouth?”
-Keegan’s legs were broken by Johnson with a stick, blood was flowing, and the bones were clearly visible.
In the dark basement, the smell of blood made the already enclosed space even
Upon hearing Hazel’s question, Keegan suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, I just did what I had to do. What do you think I could do?”

Because of laughing so hard, he kept coughing and there was a hint of madness.
“I am not as skilled as others, I admit my defeat.”
“But what right do you have to hold me accountable for what happened back then? For the sake of your family, the Fowler family, I lost my parents and siblings, and became a complete orphan!”
“Now, all the wealth of the Wilcox family, it was all earned by me from scratch, little by little! How does it have anything to do with your Fowler family?”
The constant accusations, combined with the intense pain shooting through his leg wound whenever he moved, made Keegan’s face appear even more grotesque and terrifying in this dim environment.

Keegan, gritting his teeth tightly, thought about these anxious years and managed to hold back his breath, turning his face away and no longer looking into Hazel’s eyes.
Seeing him endure it at the moment, Hazel admired him for being a tough guy.
If Keegan had really begged for mercy so quickly, she wouldn’t have done those things back then, and she wouldn’t have believed what he said.
“No worries, I had plenty of time to accompany you and play slowly.”

Hazel’s voice was
cold and chilling, “But your only daughter, I’m afraid she won’t be able to wait any longer.”
The man’s body trembled again, but he still didn’t turn around.
“Tomorrow at the same time, I will come again.”
“That was also your last chance.”
Just after Hazel left, a discreet black car parked where she had just parked.
The half–lowered car window revealed the man’s exquisite profile.
