Chapter 914
“Right away, sir p>
Geoffrey immediately carried out the order.
After hanging up, Owen grabbed the Iron Wolves and drove straight to the hospital.
He arrived just as the ambulance pulled into the emergency bay. The rest of the family—save for Luna, who was at school-had already gathered.
As the paramedics unloaded the stretcher, Lawrence clung to the rails, weeping and wailing like a lunatic. “Grandfather! Grandfather p>
Anyone watching would have thought him the picture of utter devotion.
Jocelyn was screaming just as theatrically. “Dad! Dad! What happened to you? Please, just open your eyes and look at me p>
A bystander would have assumed she was his biological daughter.
Richard Lance held Jocelyn back, wiping his own tears.
He glared at Owen as he approached. “You ungrateful bastard, look what you’ve done! You gave your grandfather a heart attack p>
Jocelyn doubled down. “Lawrence ran the company for three years without a hitch! You take over for barely six months, and this massive disaster happens! You’ve worried him to death p>
Owen had fully intended to ignore them, but watching them physically block the paramedics from doing their jobs was the final straw.
“Shut your mouths. What exactly are you trying to accomplish by obstructing his medical care? You all know damn well who’s really responsible for the company crisis. You want the truth? Let the doctors treat him, and I’ll spell it out for you.” The trio immediately went dead silent. Had he actually found hard evidence?
The old man was finally wheeled into the examination room. The three of them paced the hallway anxiously, putting on a great show of hoping for his recovery.
Well, they did want him to recover-not out of love, but because they desperately needed him as their shield to cover up their crimes.
Richard crept over to Owen. “What really happened p>
He looked up at his eldest son. Standing a half-head taller, with a sharp jawline and wearing a sleek black jacket, Owen radiated a severe, calculating presence.
The boy was exceptionally capable, but sadly, he took after his
mother too dominant, entirely uncontrollable Added to the bitter history between them, they were never on the same side.
Therefore, Richard had to protect Jocelyn and Lawrence at all costs.
If Richard had control of the Lance Group, he would never have let Owen ascend.
He would rather prop up his incompetent second son.
“You’ll find out soon enough. But not right now p>
Owen cast a disdainful sideways glance at his deadbeat father.
Richard scrutinized Owen’s stoic expression, desperately trying to deduce exactly
how much evidence his son had gathered.
“Could it be p>
“If you want the truth, I suppose I
can share
it. But you need to show
little good faith first. For instance which one of you ordered the hit-and-run last night p>
Owen stared out the window, speaking as though to the empty air.
“What are you talking about? What does last night’s car crash have to do with me p>
Richard lost his temper, his voice booming down the corridor.
But Owen was unfazed. “What, feeling guilty p>
“I told you, I had nothing to do with it p>
Truthfully, Owen believed him. His father was a scumbag, but he was inherently a coward. Any high-profile, vigfent crimes were almost certainly the handiwork of the other three.
Owen had just been testing the waters to see if Richard was in on the loop.
The result wasn’t pretty. Richard clearly knew something.
“Then it must have been your son. Or your wife. Or your daughter. There’s nobody else p>
Owen stared at his own hand, casually flicking imaginary ash.
“You… you stop spouting nonsense! He’s your brother! How can you frame him like this p>
