CHAPTER 52: CHAPTER 52: THE SKY HAS FALLEN

But her daughter, who wasn’t close to her when she was little, now grew up obsessing over things that didn’t belong to her, making her seem like someone else’s daughter.

"Jared, it’s fine as long as Paige is back, don’t think too much, just go rest."

Jared Sullivan sighed, "I can’t sleep when I think about how Beau almost got into trouble today. You go to sleep."

Jared felt he had to let everyone know that Paige was his daughter.

That way, no one would dare to touch Paige.

But Paige definitely wouldn’t like it; this girl is so strong-willed, and she doesn’t want anything handed to her, she wants to fight for everything herself.

So he has to find the right time for it.

...

When Paige went to the police station, she told Summer Xavier to cancel their date.

Summer didn’t know what had happened until she came to find Paige the next day.

Although it was over and she didn’t experience it first-hand, she still broke out in a cold sweat.

"Those bastards! Why didn’t you really beat them to death!"

Paige: "That would be illegal."

Summer got angrier the more she thought about it, "No way, they can’t get away with this! I’m going to find them!"

Summer decided to go immediately, and Paige couldn’t stop her.

Afraid Summer would get bullied, Paige had no choice but to follow.

Summer rushed into the hospital and found the place where the guys were staying, it was like a living hell, screams echoing one after another.

The key is that the hallway was very quiet, like all the medical staff had vanished, not a soul in sight.

Summer felt a bit cowardly, "Maybe we should just forget it? Come back another day?"

Paige smiled, "Is that all the courage you have?"

She started getting curious and walked directly toward Blondie’s ward.

Peering through the glass on the door, she saw all the hospitalized youths were gathered in this ward.

And inside were a few burly men in suits.

The youths trembled in fear in front of the tall men.

"What exactly do you want from us?"

"Which hand did you use to touch Miss Sterling?"

"We didn’t touch her!"

They hadn’t even gotten a strand of her hair and were almost beaten to death, and now someone else was here to stand up for Paige.

They just wanted to mess with a woman, why had fate dealt them such a bad hand?

Now thinking back, they must’ve been out of their minds to provoke that woman.

"Big brother, we didn’t know Miss Sterling had such a powerful background. Even if you gave us the courage, we wouldn’t dare provoke her. We’ve learned our lesson, please let us go..."

"The lesson you received was from Miss Sterling, not our boss."

So today’s lesson was inevitable.

Paige was relatively kind; even though she beat them so miserably, she didn’t break any limbs.

But the boss behind these guys wanted more, demanding a hand from them.

Ruthless, they were each more ruthless than the last.

"Right hand, do you want me to do it or will you do it yourselves?"

Seeing that they weren’t moving, the tall man said, "Looks like you want me to do it."

They shook their heads fiercely, "No, no, no, we’ll do it ourselves!"

But they still couldn’t bring themselves to do it.

They never cared about other people’s lives but cherished their own dearly.

The tall men, not wanting to waste time, grabbed one of their hands and crippled it directly.

The person let out a scream and passed out.

The others shivered, it was too painful!

The leading man looked at them, "Do you want me to do it too?"

"No, no, no, we’ll do it ourselves!"

The leading man coldly stared at them, one of them gritted his teeth, picked up a hammer, and slammed it on his hand, letting out a pathetic scream.

The leading man smirked, seeing him putting on such a show, and swung the hammer at him.

This time, he couldn’t pretend anymore and genuinely screamed.

The others, seeing this, didn’t dare to put on an act, resorting to honestly hammering their own hands.

Paige watched without much care, but Summer couldn’t stop trembling.

She just wanted to slap those scumbags, but these guys didn’t even blink when crippling hands.

"Paige, are these guys sent by your dad?"

Paige shook her head, "No."

This wasn’t how her dad operated; he’d probably just bankrupt their families.

The men, having completed their task, stepped out and saw Paige standing at the door with her arms crossed.

"..."

They suddenly became stiff and walked past as if they didn’t see Paige.

Paige calmly said, "Stop."

They actually stopped, and Paige asked, "Who sent you?"

"..."

"Not talking? Then I’ll call Julian Hawthorne."

"Miss Sterling, you already know, why ask us."

Why deliberately make things difficult for the underlings?

Paige stood up straight, "You can go."

They quickly lowered their heads and left.

Summer squinted at Paige, "Paige, what’s your relationship with Julian Hawthorne?"

Paige didn’t answer, only chuckled.

Summer nudged her, "What’s with that weird smile? Spill it, what’s your relationship?"

Paige still didn’t answer and pushed the door open to the ward.

Summer held her back, "Where are you going?"

"To apologize."

"You’re going to apologize to those scumbags?"

No, Paige isn’t the type to admit wrong and change.

"Don’t worry, they don’t dare do anything to me. If they’re angry, I’ll stand and let them curse at me a few times."

Summer, "..." Are you serious? Why do I feel like a Pandemonium is about to unfold at your hands?"

Summer, "Actually, I’m just worried you’ll do something to them."

After all, they already seem miserable enough.

Paige still pushed the door and went in.

The guys, just going through despair and pain, saw Paige, feeling like the sky was falling.

"Ancestor, what do you want now?"

Paige: "I didn’t expect I’d beat you so miserably."

"..." Now you realize, isn’t it too late?

"What are you afraid of? I came to apologize today."

The group huddled together, a bit incredulous, shouting for medical staff to assure their safety.

But the door was still closed, not a soul came in.

"Since you don’t believe me, I’ll beat you first to show my sincerity."

"..."

Wasn’t she supposed to apologize, have you ever seen someone apologizing with fists?

Paige successfully scared the group into fainting one after another and left with a smile.

Summer glanced inside, "Why are they all passed out?"

A bit suspicious of what Paige did.

Paige: "Dunno, maybe they were stunned by my beauty."

Summer, "..."
