Chapter 248: Chapter 248 Manipulating People’s Hearts

Robert Stephens’s gaze shifted slightly, and he spoke softly, "Charlotte, break his other leg. I see no other way—this loudmouthed monkey will only quiet down this way."

The short-haired woman standing behind him lowered her head. Hearing the command, she pursed her lips slightly. She glanced at the pitiful-looking Ryan Smith and couldn’t help pleading for him, "...Young Master Ryan’s other leg hasn’t been treated yet. If it gets injured again..."

Robert Stephens’s gentle smile instantly turned cold. Expressionless, he grabbed the gun beside him and fired two shots at Ryan Smith, directly piercing through his other unharmed leg.

Madman!!

Charlotte Smith’s face turned pale in an instant. She lowered her head, clenched her hands tightly, and bit her lip hard, not daring to say another word.

Daisy Ginger received a call from Abigail Perry’s attending doctor, informing her that Abigail had woken up and asking if she wanted to come and see her.

Daisy declined, saying she would come in a few days, then got up to go to the ward to see Alice Lesser.

It had been more than half a month since Alice had become a vegetative state. She had been transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward, and she had regained spontaneous breathing, no longer needing an oxygen tube.

It was just a transfer from a psychiatric hospital to a regular ward.

Perhaps her soul had already disappeared completely eight years ago when she divorced Gabriel Ginger.

What remained over these years was just an empty shell.

But even so, the fact that Alice could still breathe, her chest could still rise and fall, and Daisy could still come to see her was more reassuring than never seeing her again, losing her entirely.
