“We didn’t do anything! Maybe the blood loss was too much.’


    “Blood loss?” Renee’s head began to ache, and she demanded, “What should we do now?


    Will she be okay?”


    “You have to rush her to the hospital for a blood transfusion. If not… it’ll be quite dangerous,”


    the man in the white coat stammered. After all, she had such a big cut on her body, and it


    had bled profusely. In the past, all these men needed to do was cut open the body. They


    were never asked to sew up the injuries, so they weren’t prepared for such emergencies.


    “I’m so sleepy. I want to sleep now…” Joanne’s voice was practically a whisper, and her hold


    on Renee’s hand grew weaker.


    “No, Joanne, wake up! Don’t fall asleep… Hold on just a little longer. I want to take you


    home so Quinton can meet you. He misses you very much, so don’t fall asleep.” Regardless


    of what Renee said, Joanne eventually lost consciousness.


    Liam patted Renee’s shoulders gently tofort her. “Boss, don’t panic. What we need to


    do now is take her away. I’m sure Benjamin knows what’s going on.”


    Liam was right—at that moment, Benjamin had ordered half of the armed forces in the fort


    to surround the dismantling room.


    “Dad, I’m begging you. Please let them go. I’ll listen to you as long as you let them go. I’ll


    take over your business and I’ll never disobey you. Please let them go…” Amber had been


    restrained by her father’s guards, and could only cry and scream helplessly.


    “The three of them caused chaos in my fort, and trampled on my dignity and pride! If I let


    them go, I can never show my face in these parts again.’ Benjamin turned around and said


    to Mateo, “Keep an eye on her. The


    second theye out, shoot them. I don’t think they can escape the hail of bullets


    unscathed.”


    “No, Dad, please don’t! If you dare to hurt Liam, I’ll take my life!” Amber wailed desperately.


    She knew that her life was the only bargaining chip she had.


    “Silly girl, you’re young and haven’t met a lot of men. There are many men more exceptional


    than Liam. You don’t have to keep him alive since he doesn’t love you. You’ll find another


    man.”


    “I’m not joking. If you don’t want to lose your only child, show some mercy and let them go!”


    “If you choose to stand against me, I don’t mind punishing my family for the sake of


    righteousness.” Benjamin’s cold gaze was full of ruthlessness.


    At that moment, someone opened the iron door of the dismantling room.


    Benjamin frowned, and without hesitating, he roared, “Fire!”


    Bang! Bang! Bang! Endless bullets were fired at the person who came out of the room.


    “No, don’t! Don’t fire! Stop!” Amber could not take it anymore. She struggled and bit Mateo’s


    arm fiercely before rushing towards the bullets.


    Benjamin’s face paled and he shouted, “Stop!”


    Finally, the hail of bullets stopped, but the person lying in a pool of blood had long stopped
