The doctor said, “It’s not fatal, but you have to stay in the hospital for at least two months before you can get out of bed.”
The bones in their bodies were dislocated.
Bianca’s jaw was dislocated, and the corners of her mouth were crooked.
Moreover, her internal organs were injured to varying degrees.
There was a lot of speculation about how their family of three ended up in the hospital.
Coupled with their family’s inherent ability to attract attention, the incident remained a hot topic for three days straight, dominating both entertainment and financial headlines.
Many people were guessing who the Vaughn family had offended.
Netizens had ruled out Patrick and Juliette. They speculated it was a more powerful figure who took action against the Vaughn family.
Otherwise, who would dare to be so ruthless with the Vaughn family’s status?
Therefore, bloggers in the economic field speculated from various aspects: Did the Vaughn family offend a more powerful shot?
Was this year the turning point for the Vaughn family? Would the Vaughn family go downhill from now on?
And this kind of statement was still the main theme on the Internet.
Originally, the Vaughn family had new TV series and movies to be released. The movies were still under review, and the TV series were still waiting to be bought by TV stations.
However, there was no more news.
The Vaughn family encountered too many things in the past six months. Now that this has happened, no matter how much working capital the Vaughn family had, it would be stretched thin.
The current state of Mason Vaughn’s family of three was they could still pick up their mobile phones to read the news However, the company’s leaders came to the hospital to tell them about the company’s current situation.
One of the managers even said, “Netizens are speculating who could have done such a thing, and who could be so ruthless They all think Mr. Clarke and Francis Kim wouldn’t be capable of this. Mr. Vaughn, who did it?”
The managers were also curious about who was behind it.
So they asked indirectly.
When Mason heard that, he was so agitated that his chest heaved, and his breathing became rapid. The managers were so scared that they almost called a doctor to put him on a ventilator.
However, at the critical moment, Mason was able to breathe again, and his heartbeat returned to normal.

“It must have been some thugs,” Mason said, his words slurred. “The Vaughn family has grown so big that it’s easy to offend some petty people!”
But he also indirectly denied Patrick and Juliette did it.
Funny, even if Patrick and Juliette did, Mason couldn’t let anyone know they did,
The news of Patrick’s return to the Clarke family would soon be known to all. If it got out the three of them had been deat with by Patrick…
Wouldn’t that be tantamount to telling the world they had become enemies of the Clarke family?
Once the Vaughn family became enemies with the Clarkes, there would be no way to continue their busines. The Vaugh family might as well kiss it goodbye.
Therefore, Mason tried his best to hide it.
Not only did he have to hide it and deny it, but he also had to make outsiders think he had a good relationship with Patrick and Juliette.
‘Right, we need to renew our old friendship now, thought Mason.
“Go and get Isla. I have something to tell her,” Mason said.
Polly was mentally unstable, and Isla was the only one in the Vaughn family who could move around.
Although Isla was young, she was the daughter of the Vaughn family. It was time for her to come out and do something. She should be able to handle it.
Soon, Isla was called in.
Isla was drinking with her friends outside when she was called to the hospital. She was reluctant, mainly because she disliked it.
‘Dad looks too scary, and I’m afraid I will have nightmares. Besides, the hospital smelled bad, thought Isla.
“Dad, take a good rest since you’re not feeling well. We can discuss anything after you recover, Isla said impatiently.
“Pack up all the dolls Juliette, your eldest sister, loved when she was little. Send them to her.”
“What?” Isla thought she had misheard.
“Tell Juliette I have kept all her things for her. After she left the Vaughn family, I talked to her dolls every day, treating them as if they were her. I even cried while talking to them.”
Isla was shocked by her father’s seriousness. “No. Dad, are you serious? Juliette has treated us like that, and you still…”
“Just go when I tell you to! Talk to her more about the things you did together when you were little, about how you grew up together. The main purpose is to move her. It would be best if you could persuade her to come home for a meal.”
Isla pouted, unwilling.
‘Wouldn’t that be asking me to curry favor with Juliette?‘ thought Isla.
“Isla, the Vaughn family needs Juliette now. As long as she is willing to come home for a meal and you get along well with her, the Vaughn family can continue to grow and develop. Otherwise, it will be difficult.

“If you complete the task I gave you, I can grant you one wish. What do you want? I will give it to you.”
Isla immediately perked up at these words and readily agreed.
“Daddy, give me 1.5 million dollars then and I can buy whatever I want.”
“Okay. As long as you succeed, not to mention 1.5 million dollars, I’ll even give you 4 million dollars.”
25%
The reason Mason didn’t tell Isla the truth was because he was worried she would be too scared to go after she found out Patrick’s identity. Or if she did go, she wouldn’t dare to say a word in front of Patrick.
So he could only repeatedly urge her to impress Juliette. No matter what method she used, she persuaded Juliette to go home for a meal.
Isla went back to pack up the dolls Juliette used to play with as a child. Then she went to find Juliette.
Patrick used to be in the entertainment industry, so the Vaughn family knew the address of his villa. Isla quickly found his house.
However, she arrived too early and had to wait until six o’clock when Juliette finally got off work and came back with Louis. “Juliette, you’re finally off work! I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time. Long time no see. I miss you so much.”
For the 4 million dollars, Isla could sweet–talk anyone with ease.
She even rushed over and tried to hug Juliette.
Juliette waited until she got close, then quickly pulled Louis and dodged to the side together. Isla almost fell to the ground. Isla’s anger suddenly surged up, but she remembered her father’s instructions and held back, continuing to smile.
“Juliette, I know you don’t want to be close to me because I hurt her before… But, in my heart, I have always regarded you as my sister, Look what I brought you?”
Isla pulled over a large box full of dolls that Juliette used to play with.
In fact, most of them had been thrown away, leaving only these expensive limited editions.
Isla pushed the box of dolls in front of Juliette and repeated what her father had told her to say.
She thought she had acted well, and Juliette would be moved, but a sneer appeared on Juliette’s lips.
“Stop acting. My favorite doll isn’t here. You didn’t even keep my favorite doll. You still say you miss me?”
Juliette, we miss you. Dad also said he hopes you will go home for a meal.”
“Even if you miss me, should I accept it?” Juliette shook her head. “I won’t.”
She kicked the suitcase out of the villa yard. The suitcase broke and the dolls were scattered all over the ground.
Isla felt humiliated. “Do you think I want to come? Do you think we miss you? Fool! Dad asked me to come. If he hadn’t given me 4 million dollars, I wouldn’t have come!”
Juliette heard her swearing in front of Louis and pushed her out of the yard.
Isla fell to the ground and was about to get up when Juliette came up to her.

She slammed the door shut, blocking Louis’s view.
She stepped on Isla’s chest and pushed her back to the ground.
Looking down at Isla, the tone of her voice was like icy rain falling into Isla’s world.
She said…
