Lucas stopped him, his voice growing colder. “Not a single one of the forces involved in the attack is to be spared.” His tone was soft, yet it carried the weight of a death sentence–chilling and merciless.
Andrew stiffened. He knew full well that once Lucas was enraged, there would be no room for
mercy.
“Understood.” With that, he quickly strode out of the office to carry out the order.
Lucas leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. The image of Sloane injured shed through his mind, making his brow knit tightly.
When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with grim resolve and ruthless intent. “You dared to hurt her; now you’ll pay for it, dearly.”
He then made a call, his voice low and cold. “Get me in touch with all the major media outlets. I want the Hazel family’s scandals sshed across the headlines by tomorrow morning…”
On the other end, the Kent family had also been investigating the attack on the Miracle Doctor. Just as they finally uncovered the faintest lead, the Hazel family had already been swept into the eye of ia /ipublic firestorm.
Major media outlets were flooded with exposés detailing the Hazel family’s years of secretly harboring criminal factions, engaging in illegal dealings, and even being implicated in several unresolved cases.
Their stock plummeted the moment markets opened; business partners pulled out one after another, and the entire family plunged into an unprecedented crisis.
Naturally, the Kent family took notice of the news, rk immediately ordered someone to bring Gordon to him.
Lying against his pillows, rk’splexion was pale, but ihis /igaze remained sharp. He slowly raised his hand, signaling for Gordon to sit. His voice was raspy, yet it carried unquestionable authority. “In your opinion, who brought down the Hazel family?”
Gordon, knowing his father well, instantly grasped the implication. Still, he disagreed. “Dad, you think it was the Miracle Doctor? I’m not so sure. The Hazel family’s been doing all kinds of shady things just topete with us for a seat among the four great families. Who knows how many enemies they’ve made, it could easily be someone else taking them down.”
rk wasn’t surprised by his answer, but he pressed on. “But think about it. The Hazel family’s

fall came at the perfect time. She was attacked just moments before, and then suddenly bthey’re /bburied in scandal? That’s too much of a coincidence.b” /b
The more Gordon thought about it, the more a chill crept over him. His voice trembled. “Dad, if this really was the Miracle Doctor’s doing… then the power backing her is terrifying.b” /b
After all, the Hazel family had deep roots in Stonebridge; their foundation was rock solid, and theirwork of political marriages ran deep. To take them down in such a short spanb–/bbutterly /band decisively, was not something just anyone could pull off.
Even the Kent family had only discovered today that the Hazel family was the one
orchestrating the attack. That kind of disparity in resources and strength–it was enough to make one shudder.
rk’s expression turned grave, his tone low. “Setting aside whether the Miracle Doctor truly had a hand in the Hazel family’s downfall–just her miraculous medical skills alone, and the fact that she escaped unharmed despite being caught in the crossfire of so many powers… ithat /ikind of ability deserves our respect. From now on, the Kent family must treat her with even greater regard.”
Gordon nodded respectfully. “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll make sure everyone understands–when they see the Miracle Doctor, they show proper respect.”
Meanwhile, the air in Lucas’s office remained icy. He stood by the window, gazing into the distance, his eyes dark and unreadable.
The phone rang.
Andrew’s voice came through the receiver. “Sir, the Hazel family’s forces have been mostly cleared out; the remaining stragglers are under our control.”
Lucas nodded slightly and said, “What about the other faction? Any progressb?/b”
