“How so?”
Efren pressed.
Byron snapped,
“You’ve known Georgia since she was a kid.”
“Don’t make me reveal what happened with your wife before eight-year medical school,”
Efren said calmly, unfazed.
Cora was very curious about what had happened before she entered eight-year medical school that Efren could use to threaten Byron.
But Byron, who had been fuming with rage just moments before, now fell ominously silent, though his eyes still burned at Efren.
Cora’s gaze bounced anxiously between them. There was some secret that she knew nothing about.
Just then, the sound of Georgia’s parents and grandparents echoed as they rushed toward the room.
“What’s happened to my precious grandchild?”They could be heard coming from far away before they even arrived.
Those already in the hospital room knew they were on their way.
Hearing them approach, Efren reluctantly let go of Georgia’s hand.
It was not the time to shock the Hansen elders with their relationship.
Also, with Georgia still lying in the hospital, more distress could make the elders end up hospitalized too.
Seeing this, Byron’s fury subsided slightly.
Cora took his hand soothingly, only for him to pull her close and hiss,
“We’ll talk about this when we get home!”
She gaped, bewildered.
She was innocent, right?
Why was she being blamed for the men’s quarrei?
At that moment, Georgia’s parents and grandparents crowded into the room.
“Goodness, she’s so pale!”
“Georgia, dear, what’s wrong?”
JAfter a while, they noticed Efren’s presence too.
“Efren? What are you doing here?”
Before he could respond, Byron cut in venomously,
“He claims he found Georgia poisoned with drugs. But clearly, he’s the one who drugged her!”
The elders looked between Efren and Byron, baffled.
They had always trusted Efren.
And with so many women eager for him, why would he risk both families for something like that?
Besides, Byron and Efren were old friends, especially before the Serranos moved to Cloudville.
This sudden hostility between them made no sense at all!
“No, no, he’s joking,”
Cora said.
“Mr. Serrano happened to find Georgia in danger and saved her. We’re so grateful, aren’t we?”
Cora quickly pulled Byron’s hand, signaling him not to meddle in his niece’s love life.
Though still glaring at Efren, Byron held his tongue under Cora’s tacit reprimand.
“Thank you, Efren.”
“Byron, even if you and Efren are close, you can’t joke like that.”
The Hansens quickly acknowledged, though still a bit confused.
Just then, Osborn frowned and asked sharply,
“So who was the scum that drugged her?”
No matter how old, Osborn would never let anyone harm his granddaughter.
“Alton Wayne,”
Efren revealed.
He had noticed the lecher ogling Georgia at Byron’s party and looked into him.
“That guy?”
Nora recalled the Waynes pestering Georgia that night.
“They kept pushing for a marriage alliance,”
Georgia’s mother Her father snorted.
“I heard they’re bankrupt. A marriage would bail them out.”
Osborn declared,
“Even if richer than us, with those manners and that face, he’s unworthy of Georgia.”
As they conferred, Efren went on grimly,
“I found cameras set up in his room. He came prepared!”
Hearing this, the Hansens erupted in rage.
Enraged, Georgia’s father moved to confront Alton directly until Efren added,
“I’ve already dealt with Alton. He’s probably in the hospital now.”
Somewhat appeased, her father nodded.
“Good.”
But still unsatisfied, he asked Byron,
“Are we currently in business with the Waynes?”
Having just checked, Byron named a few collaborations and stated flatly,
“I’m cutting off all ties and blacklisting them effective immediately. Anyone who works with those Wayne parasites will become our sworn enemy!”
With the Hansens’ clout, none would dare a*sociate with the Waynes now.
They were effectively banished from elite New York circles.
But to Efren, the Hansens had been too lenient.
However, he didn’t want them privy to his further Wayne retaliation plans.
As the Hansens conferred, Georgia’s mother and grandmoit.cr thanked Efren again.
“We’ll take care of Georgia now,”
Nora added pointedly.
“You go about your business, Efren.”
Efren understood this was Nora’s way of dismissing him.
He yearned to stay at her bedside, but it was inappropriate with her family present.
Besides, urgent Wayne family matters demanded his attention.
So after bidding the Hansens farewell, Efren departed.
But he took one final lingering look at Georgia before leaving the room…
After leaving the hospital, Efren returned to his hotel room to change into darker clothes before heading out again.
But just as he entered the room, the doorbell rang unexpectedly.
Efren opened it to find Rouston, with a wheelchair-bound Alton behind him.
The anesthesia had clearly worn off. Alton’s face was ghostly pale, his forehead dripping sweat, temples bulging with veins. He looked in pain.
Rouston appeared calmer, still smiling, though his hair had turned completely silver-white within the day.
Seeing Efren, he quickly bowed,
“Mr. Serrano, my foolish son and I deeply regret offending you and Miss Georgia Hansen today.
We kneel to apologize sincerely, and promise we’ll never show our faces before you again.”
After saying this, Rouston knelt.
Seeing his father kneeling before Efren, Alton gaped in disbelief.
Not only had Rouston knelt, he even lugged Alton’s pants.
“Alton, kneel and apologize to Mr. Serrano!”
Proud Alton naturally refused to kneel, especially to the man who had just castrated him.

burning hatefully into Efren’s.Those bloodshot eyes seemed to scream
“I hate you!”
Efren didn’t back down.
“This is your idea of an apology?”
