Chapter 901
In Blumedale, the Rhodes familyโs patriarch was pacing inside his villa, furious and restless. โDamn it! Itโs been a whole day alreadyโdid that bastard Phantom Eye take the money and run?โ
No calls were going through, and no one could reach him.
At first, Kenny was confident in Phantom Eye. However, as time passed, that confidence turned into gnawing anxiety. Every second wasted meant Michael was one step closer to death.
โDad, calm down,โ a woman said smoothly, her voice carrying an air of superiority. โMichael will be fine.โ
She was Sherilyn Rhodes, Kennyโs eldest daughter. Her presence alone screamed wealth and powerโlong, deep-red nails, bold red lips, and cascading waves of glossy hair. From head to toe, she radiated the energy of a woman who knew she was above everyone else.
Kenny gritted his teeth. โHow the hell am I supposed to calm down? You didnโt see how bad Michael looked! Heโs barely holding on! And from what I heard, he might have lost his manhood. Do you understand what that means?!โ
Sherilyn had just set her coffee down when she heard that. Her brow arched sharply, and her voice turned venomous.
She snapped, โWhat?! Are you telling me that little bastard Andrew actually went for Michaelโs manhood?โ
Kennyโs expression darkened. โWhy the hell do you think Iโm so worked up? Your mother and I arenโt young anymore. We canโt have more kids! If Michael is ruined, then what happens to my legacy? My business is booming, Iโm at the peak of my life, and now I might not even have an heir to pass it on to?โ
The more he spoke, the angrier he got, until he finally lost it and started shouting.
Sherilyn clenched her jaw. โDad, donโt worry! If Michael really lost his manhood, I swear Iโll have Andrewโs head on a platter for you.โ
Kenny sneered. โThat little bastard wouldnโt have dared to go this far unless he was trying to impress that damn Jamesonโs daughter. Iโm sure she and her parents put Andrew up to this. But I wonโt let them get away with it!โ
Sherilynโs lips curled in distaste. โYouโre talking about Lauren, right?โ
Kenny scoffed. โWho else? That wretched girl is nothing but trouble.โ
Sherilyn frowned. โBut I thought Uncle Jamesonโs family was arranging a marriage with the Driscoll family? If thatโs true, what the hell is Lauren doing messing around with another man?โ
Kenny sighed in frustration. โI donโt know if theyโve actually done anything. Since it involves the Driscolls, we have to be careful what we say. We need to get Michael back and hear it from him before we make any moves.โ
Sherilynโs expression twisted into something bitter, her voice laced with jealousy. โI donโt get itโwhat does the Driscoll family even see in that girl?โ
She huffed and added, โIโm the eldest daughter of the Rhodes family. If anyone from the Driscolls was looking for a high-status woman to marry, it should have been me.โ
Kennyโs face hardened. โSherilyn, watch your mouth. Youโre already married! You need to stop saying things like that! Besides, didnโt you already land Elon? That alone is a blessing our family should be grateful for!โ
Sherilyn rolled her eyes. โSure, Elon is one of the elites from a big-name family, but compared to the Driscolls? Heโs not even close.โ
She smirked. โHonestly, Dad, if one of the Driscoll boys wanted me, I wouldnโt mind getting remarried.โ
Kennyโs face turned red with anger. โAre you serious, Sherilyn?! You just canโt change your damn ways, can you? Youโre already married into the Goldingsโact like it! Focus on your family instead of running around chasing fantasies!โ
Sherilyn laughed shamelessly. โRelax, Dad! Iโm just thinking out loud. The Driscolls are one of the three powerhouses in Gabo Creek, but letโs be realโI wouldnโt actually get that lucky. Thatโs what pisses me off! How the hell does a nobody like Lauren get the Driscollsโ attention?โ
Kenny let out a cold laugh. โJameson and Tiana sure think theyโre playing their cards right. But getting into the Driscoll family? Thatโs not something you can just walk into. Even if Lauren does manage to hook a Driscoll son, I wonโt let them get away with it.โ
