?Chapter 304:


    The abrupt confrontation took Lise by surprise. She struggled fiercely and yelled, “Who are you? Let go of me! Do you hear me?” Given the inherent physical differences between genders, and considering Lise’s slight build, she was no match for the two bodyguards, who restrained her effortlessly.


    They held Lise’s arms firmly, giving her no opportunity to break free.


    The woman, previously poised and graceful, transformed drastically. She advanced, seized Lise by the hair, and without hesitation, struck her face twice, hard.


    Her curses were harsh and venomous. “You bitch! You injured my son! He’s still in the hospital! I’ve finally caught you. Today, I will avenge him!”


    The intense loathing and rage in the woman’s eyes momentarily chilled Lise. Confused, she responded, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”


    “Stop ying dumb! I’ve figured it all out. You conspired with that man to torment my son. Right after he came back from abroad, he ended up in the hospital. You should know, he’s my only son. If anything happens to him, you’re finished!”


    The more Emberly Bernard spoke, the angrier she became. She struck Lise a few more times, each p filled with force.


    After four ps, Lise’s face was visibly swollen. At that moment, she felt a mix of bewilderment, anger, and a strong desire for revenge.


    Lise suspected that Katelyn was behind this once again.


    As Emberly raised her hand for a fifth p, Lise, enduring the pain, quickly defended herself. “You’re after the wrong person. I’ve never harmed your son. I don’t even know him. It’s Katelyn Bailey you should be confronting.”


    Emberly paused, taken aback.

    All the elites knew of the ongoing disputes between Lise and Katelyn.


    Even though speaking pulled painfully at her swollen face, Lise did her best to exin. “If you don’t believe me, have…”


    “Someone investigate. I don’t know your son at all. Was the conflict at the shooting range? Katelyn was there too. She hurt me as well.”


    Emberly paused, clearly doubting Lise’s words.


    “I’m not lying. I swear. She was with Vincent. That bitch likely felt emboldened to harm your son because of Vincent’s support.”


    “Liar!” Emberly suddenly recalled something, and her expression shifted swiftly to one of scorn. “I’ve already investigated. You were the one who attacked my son.”


    Lise was nearly ovee with rage. The woman waspletely clueless!


    She opened her mouth to rify further, but Emberly signaled to the bodyguards.


    “Gag her and take her to the hospital. I want her to kneel and apologize to my son!”


    With that, Emberly turned away as one of the bodyguards efficiently stuffed a cloth into Lise’s mouth. He moved with such precision, it was as if he were abducting a hostage.


    With tear-filled eyes, Lise struggled to break free, but it was futile. She couldn’t overpower him or flee, and now, she couldn’t even speak with her mouth gagged.<fn5b65> ?????? ???? find[f]ovel</fn5b65>


    She was forcibly coerced into the car.


    Upon arriving at the hospital where Rond was staying, she still thought of escaping.


    At that moment, Rondy in the hospital bed, one arm in a cast suspended in the air, the other attached to an IV drip. Hisplexion was ashen.


    Upon seeing him in this state, Emberly’s heart ached again. “My dear, I’ve brought back the woman who attacked you. I will make sure she pays for this!”


    Rond was Emberly’s only child. Their lives had both been at risk during his birth, which had led her to spoil him immensely since he was an infant, always giving him whatever he desired. Now, witnessing him so battered, she found it unbearable. Her gazended on Lise, filled with intense loathing.
