The red light in the emergency room flashed, with people inside and outside feeling distinctly different.
Cheyenne only wanted to save her best friend with her own hands.
Meanwhile, outside the door, Jaelynn watched her plan fail, her face turning ashen, her gaze cold as if laced with poison as she stared at the door.
Master Glenn let out a small sigh of relief, but soon began to worry about his daughter’s whereabouts, a shadow creeping across his brow once more.
After several seconds, he finally remembered Jaelynn’s presence and turned around to look at this woman with a guarded expression.
“Aunt, why are you here?”
The former head of the Weaver family was Violet Weaver, Elsa’s grandmother.
In the Weaver family, women held the power, with the old Weaver marrying twice, first giving birth to a pair of twins with her first husband.
The eldest daughter was Violet Weaver, and the second daughter was Ivy Weaver.
Violet was gentle and cultured, a classic lady of society.
On the other hand, Ivy was a disgrace to the entire Weaver family for her lack of education and loose character. Fortunately, she disappeared on her eighteenth birthday, never to be seen again.
The old Weaver then had a son, Daniel Weaver, with her second husband.
When Daniel was young, he was a reckless playboy who, despite knowing he was destined to marry within the family, still tasted the forbidden fruit with a female classmate.
According to the Weaver family rules, no bloodline could remain outside the family, so Jaelynn was brought back into the Weaver family.
However, like other Weaver family men, Daniel married a lady from another prestigious family and passed away before the age of thirty.
It’s unclear whether it was due to his wife’s poor health or Daniel’s reckless youth, but the couple never had any offspring during their marriage.
After the old Weaver stepped down, Violet inherited the position of family head. Seeing that her brother had only one daughter left, Violet placed great importance on Jaelynn.
As a result, Jaelynn’s status within the Weaver family was second only to the family head.
Sadly, Violet passed away at a young age, leaving behind only one descendant, Elsa.
In such circumstances, Jaelynn was the most eligible to inherit the family head position, but instead of seizing power, she enlisted in the military to become the backbone of the Weaver family.
The position of family head remained vacant for twenty years.
Everyone knew that Jaelynn was waiting for Elsa to grow up and was working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure her niece’s ascension to power.
As for Glenn, he was the illegitimate child of a brief fling Violet had with a man when she was studying abroad in her youth.
Rumors had it that the man was a gigolo from a nightclub, not even deserving of a name.
Due to family tradition, Glenn was reluctantly brought back to the Weaver family to maintain Violet’s reputation, and Jaelynn, in order to save face, named him “Glenn” and handed him over to a distant cousin to raise.
In Jaelynn’s eyes, Glenn, this illegitimate child, was never meant to exist in this world, especially not at this moment.
Pointing at Glenn’s face, Jaelynn, filled with anger, spat out fiercely, “I should never have brought you, this dirty illegitimate child, back. The Weaver family raised you for over twenty years, and this is how you repay us?”
In response to the debt of nurture, Glenn chuckled self-derisively, “What am I in the eyes of the Weaver family? You only cared about Elsa, Aunt.
“How dare you mention Elsa? Have you taken a good look at yourself, dare to vie for a place with Elsa? Everything you possess should rightfully be hers!”
“At the Weaver family, a married man is like water thrown away. It’s shameless of you to delusionally attempt to seize control of the company!”
Fortunately, there’s still time for everything. She’s back, and that bastard Glenn has been kicked out to fend for himself.
With her presence, she can definitely help Elsa restore the glory of the Weaver family’s nameplate!
The first thing to do is to eliminate the huge obstacle, Glenn, who should have never existed in the first place.
Next up are the Lawrence family, the Edwards family, the Owen family… and the Harrison family. She won’t spare any of them!
Shameless…
Glenn has heard these words countless times since he was little.
Just because he’s a man, he can’t stand out in his studies. It would make Elsa, the future heir, look stupid!
Just because he’s a man, wanting to intern at the company is seen as ambitious. He has to undergo tests many times harder than Elsa to be considered qualified.
Just because he’s a man, he can’t even choose his own marriage. When he decided to break the marriage and marry Kate, his cousins pointed their fingers at him, calling him shameless.
Why?!
The law already stipulates gender equality, yet the Weaver family insists on clinging to the outdated and disgraceful rule of “women in power.”
He is a man, superior to Elsa in physical strength, academic performance, and business acumen by several magnitudes.
It’s just because he was born the wrong gender that he’s labeled as shameless scum!
And Elsa is the lofty future heir.
From childhood until now, Glenn has never enjoyed anything. Everything he does is to prove himself!
He is different from the men in the Weaver family who have been tamed. He refuses to be treated as a mere pawn, placed wherever the Weaver family wants. He deserves respect from everyone.
Even if it means sacrificing his life.
In this world, only Kate understands him, protects him. When she entered his world, Glenn realized that women are not as selfish as the Weaver family portrays them to be.
There are also innocent and pure-hearted people like Kate. She likes him simply because he is Glenn.
Otherwise, when he was expelled from the Weaver family and his life was in danger, as the heiress of the Zamora family, he would never be worthy of her!
But Kate still wholeheartedly married him, and she even offered to bear his child without fearing for his death, not leaving behind any kinship.
The first thirty years of his life were lived for the Weaver family. In the future, he lives only for the person he loves!
But at this moment, his aunt appeared and plotted against his wife. If Glenn had arrived just a moment later, Kate would have died from excessive bleeding.
The thought of this makes Glenn feel like his world is collapsing. If it weren’t for him still worrying about his daughter’s whereabouts, he would have considered following Kate.
From now on, he will show no mercy to the Weaver family!
After realizing this, Glenn’s gaze turned icy and empty, devoid of any ripples, as if he were looking at an inanimate object.
Jaelynn had seen that same gaze when he was five years old.
That year, just after Violet died, everyone discussed sending Glenn to the ancestral hall to guard the family’s tomb for three years.
However, Glenn somehow got wind of the plan and tried to escape. In the end, his foster father, Alvin Weaver, caught him and personally broke his leg.
With a body covered in blood, the little boy woke up from the chaos, looking at them with that gaze.
As if he were looking at his enemy!
