Female Novel
Chapter 363
Dashing toward Ysabel as if she had gone mad, she pulled Ysabel into her embrace.
At the sound of the gunshot, Jennifer and the others ran downstairs, only to find Ysabel covered inblood.
“Capture him!” With a frosty expression, Donald waved his hand.
Although the man with a cap had disappeared, Bradley had been keeping an eye on the man, so heimmediately started tracking the latter down.
Striding toward Ysabel, Donald started ringing Hannah’s phone.novelbin
“Help! Call an ambulance right now!” Tears streamed down Beatrice’s face as she scanned thesurroundings hysterically.
“Ysabel!” When Jennifer noticed Ysabel’s profuse bleeding, her eyes brimmed in tears.
The bullet had Ysabel’s back, causing her to fall flat onto her back and suffer from an injury on the backof her head.
Members of the Stern family appeared one after another as they gathered around.
As Donald’s gaze swept across the surroundings, he noticed Mason hiding among the crowd, watchingthe scene coldly.
Very soon, the ambulance arrived, and the paramedics carried Ysabel into the ambulance.
Just as Donald was about to follow the ambulance, Beatrice whirled around and pointed at him, fuming,“You’re a jinx. This is all your fault. Things wouldn’t have turned out this way if Ysabel didn’t try chasingafter you! If anything happens to Ysabel, I’ll definitely not let you off the hook!”
With bloodshot eyes, Jennifer also reprimanded, “Donald, you’re older than Ysabel by seven years.Why are you entangling with her?”
Linda chimed in, “I’m sure he’s trying to live off her. Although Beatrice is merely a university lecturer,she earns a minimum annual salary of over two hundred thousand, which is much more than a joblessman like him has!”
“He’s a jinx for sure,” Kevin supported. “Look at how my sister prospers right after getting a divorcefrom him!”
Lifting her head, Skylar gazed at the sky. “During a stormy weather, we must distance ourselves fromthis type of people, as we might get struck!”
Someone from the Stern family added, “It’s all your fault!”
With a darkened expression, Donald remained silent.
He then turned around and left.
Without wasting any more time, Jennifer and the others quickly made their way to the hospital.
Ten minutes later, Donald appeared in an MPV, making a call to Bradley. “Where’s the target?”
“East City Machine Factory. There are more than a hundred people in there!”
Bradley filled him in with some useful information. “That assassin has quite an interesting identity. Ibelieve he’s hired by Mason, but somehow, he’s also related to a good friend of James—Miracle Doctorof Pollerton. His friend is Albert Winston, otherwise known as Bert, and he’s from the Winston family ofPollerton.”
The Winston family was the second most powerful family in Pollerton.
Known as both a patriarchal and patrilineal clan, the Winston family was much more of a hassle to dealwith than the underground influences, even though they were not an underground force. This wasbecause they stuck together and showed unity. An election would be held every three years to selectthe most capable and ruthless man as their leader to develop their family further.
For this cycle, the leader of the Winston family was Albert’s father.
As for the identity of the assassin, he was Albert’s cousin.
Even when Zayne, Tyson, and the others were in control of the underground in Pollerton, they darednot offend the patrilineal clans.
This was because not only were the clans difficult to deal with, but they were also extremely united.Although they were usually busy with their own affairs, they would gather at critical moments andunleash their extraordinary powers.
Twenty years ago, the Winston family made a record of defeating thirteen big corporations within ayear.
To put it in simpler terms, they achieved that by causing trouble. For instance, hundreds of peoplewould gather at the entrance of a corporation and set up a mourning hall, gifting things like wreaths.
Worse, it was difficult to rectify them, as they would spread out immediately.
“A clan?” Donald’s gaze turned terrifyingly cold. “How dare this miracle doctor mess with me when I’vedone nothing?”
Bradley asked, “So what now?”
A hint of anger flashed through Donald’s eyes. “We shall see what Ysabel’s condition is like first beforeI deal with this clan. I don’t need any official support to bully him. Transfer the guard team membersfrom Terrandya, Tudela’s Special Operations Force, as well as the other guard team members fromHorizon Group here. This time, I shall intimidate these clans!”
