Chapter 584 No Room For Negotiation

It was major news that Valentino had regained consciousness.

Without looking back, Cedrick left the ancestral hall with Nico at once and walked toward the master bedroom where his grandfather was.

As Yael also wanted to see Valentino, he quickly helped Xander up from the ground. However, Xander had been shot in the thigh and was unable to move at all.

Still trembling in pain, he said, “Dad, Cedrick is too ruthless. Not only did he set me up, but he even shot me so mercilessly. It hurts so much that it’s impossible for me to walk at all. Dad, take me back now. I need to get my wound treated.”

The two men continued chatting for a while until Yael and Xander appeared, disrupting the harmonious atmosphere in the room.
