Hearing Frederick threaten Hallie, Mr. Clements was dissatisfied, and his tone become stern. "Frederick!"

How could he talk to his sister like that because of some woman?

In that instant, Hallie was was so frightened that she did not dare to speak again. Frederick didn't even bother to look at his father. His expression become even frostier.

"You'd better keep guard over your precious daughter. I'm a man of my words! From now on, we won't be coming here anymore. If any of you dare to stick your noses into my business or lay a hand on my woman, don't say I didn't warn you!"

Frederick bent over to pick Alicia up and strode away.

Trevor had been waiting outside the door all this while. When he saw the two of them coming out, he went up to them. When he saw how bedraggled Alicia was and her injured legs, he was shocked. "How did things turn out like this?"

He couldn't imagine that the Clements family could've done this to her in just less than 30 minutes!

Putting Alicia down, Frederick kept a tight hold on her. His face was taut. "Get me a copy of all the surveillance footage from tonight. I'm going to get her to the hospital first. I'll catch up with you later." He wanted to know everything that had happened at the banquet!

As Frederick and Trevor spoke, Alicia leaned against Frederick. Her hands clasped his shirt tightly, and she was still half sobbing.

Frederick quickly instructed Trevor on what to do, then helped Alicia towards his car, which was parked nearby.

Frederick opened the car door and saw the coat he had brought for her on the passenger seat. He bent down and took it out. "Slowly now, don't knock your head!"

Just as she was about to bend down, Alicia inadvertently lifted her head. There seemed to be a flash of light from the slow-moving car coming from the opposite side. When she saw that the car was driving slowly and the window was open, she inexplicably took a second glance. Seeing the car approach them, something hit her, and she quickly shoved Frederick away.

Be careful!"

With a loud bang, Frederick stumbled and almost fell to the ground. When he came back to his senses, he just saw something dark shoot past, and a white figure slowly collapsed to the ground, like a flower wilting.
