David’s driver perished at the scene, and the badly injured bodyguard seated in the front passenger


    seat battled for his life in the emergency room.


    Fortunately, as David was seated in the back, he suffered facial injuries from the ss shards after the


    front collision. Despite bleeding from the head, he survived the ident.


    However, aminuted fracture in his legs left him permanently crippled.


    Victor enlisted experts from across the country to treat David, but none could sessfully rehabilitate


    David’s legs.


    One day, the Schmidts sat in their living room-a heavy feeling hung in the air. Daisy sobbed


    uncontrobly, but it was unclear if her grief was genuine.

    She wailed, “Why did this happen? David used that road often, and it was a straight road. How did he


    get into an ident?”


    Everyone was moody. Only Jameson crossed his legs and sipped on his tea, unconcerned. He


    remarked nonchntly, “The frequency of using a road doesn’t reduce your chances of getting into an


    ident. They are unrted, Daisy.”


    Daisy dabbed away her tears with her hanky and shot him a moody re. She used, “You seem


    quite happy after David’s ident. Why? Has your wish finallye true?”


    He ced the teacup on the table and adjusted his sses. “No, I’m not happy. I’m just emotionally


    stable, unlike you. David isn’t dead, but you cry like you’re at his funeral.”


    “You-” she stammered, enraged by his taunt.


    “That’s enough! Can’t you guys ever stop squabbling? You’ve been doing that forever. Daisy, David is


    suffering. You haven’t thought of a solution. You’re only busy causing trouble. Do you want to see our


    family in a mess?” David growled and pped on the arm of his chair.


    Daisy quivered at Victor’s rage and stopped crying, only glowering at Jameson. 2


    After moments of thinking, Jameson slowly suggested, “Dad, I have a solution. Why don’t we give it a


    try? We might save David’s legs.”


    All eyes were on him. Victor’s eyes brightened with hope. He leaned forward eagerly and urged


    Jameson, Tell me now!”

    “You’re Lauren’s sister, after all. So, I’ll need your help to make the marriage work, especially when I’m


    not in the position to act,” Zoe said with a sly smile.


    She added, “My family runs a business empire, and we’re influential. If we were an ordinary family,


    knowing Landon, he wouldn’t give up on Lauren at all. The only way to crush his hope is to marry off


    Lauren to another influential family like the Hodgsons.”


    What a devious n!


    Betty snapped and sweated after tugging on her facial injury, “I remember how you treated me after I


    helped you out. You nearly sent me to prison! Why would I help you now?”


    Zoe drawled, “I’m your future sister-inw. It’s important to get on my good side. Besides, you must be


    upset at Lauren for snatching Landon from you. No one else except for me can take revenge for you.”


    Betty was stunned by Zoe’s n. Tears of anger welled up as she clenched her fists, recalling how


    badly


    Angelina had beaten her up.


    She seethed silently, “Landon Harper, I love you deeply, but you treat me like an animal. I can only give


    you a taste of your own medicine by taking away your most precious possession.”


    With that in mind, she told Zoe, “Tell me what you n to do.”


    Jasper and Zoe’s scandal plunged the Becketts and the Harpers into turmoil.


    The Schmidts also faced their own troubles, with David Schmidt having recently been in a car ident


    of his way home from a gathering with friends on a rainy night.
