Markus sighed. It was all his fault. If it wasn’t for that he urged his son to get married, Shawn would not be so anxious and trust a woman so easily.
If Shawn did not go to City J, the car accident wouldn’t have happened.
“Dad, this is not your fault. It is the fault of those culprits.”
Marina tried to console her father. The people who should be punished and tortured were the culprits.
Shawn’s current situation was not very good, but it did not worsen. After his situation began to improve, Norton would treat him with all his might.
Although Norton was young, he was a genius in medical science. With him around, there was a high chance of success in the operation.
Marina was worried that when Shawn regained consciousness and learned about his situation, he could not accept the reality.
“Mr. White, I am willing to take care of him.”
Lola rubbed her hands and blushed. In fact, she had a feeling for Shawn for a long time. However, Marina and she were good friends. She was afraid that Marina would have issues with this, so she had kept her feelings in her heart for their friendship.
Lola’s family’s conditions could not hold a candle to the White family, so Lola was also afraid that Shawn would think that she liked him because she loved his money.
“Girl, do you know what you are talking about?”
Markus shook his head in disbelief. Although he thought Lola was good, he didn’t think Shawn had a feeling for her.
A person who suddenly suffered a blow might have a series of mental issues and give up on themselves. Markus was very afraid that it would happen to Shawn.
So, Markus had already planned to ask someone else to take care of the company and let Shawn stay at home to recuperate.
Before the artificial limbs could be done, there was a period of time when Shawn had to rely on the wheelchair, and if something happened in the operation, then he might never wake up again.
As a father, his own child was always his first priority, but Markus did not want Lola to waste her time on something unsure.
“Mr. White, Marina, I’m serious. I want to give myself a chance.”
Lola looked at Marina and was very worried that Marina would object. She wanted to follow Marina to City J to take care of Shawn. This idea had been formed in her mind a long time ago. After knowing that Marina was busy, she decided to come to the White family to accompany Markus first.
“I don’t object, but you have to think about it clearly.”
Marina nodded after thinking about it for a while. Although she was Shawn’s sister, she could not decide things for him.
When Shawn woke up, no one knew how he would feel about Lola.
“If he wasn’t unconscious, I wouldn’t even have a chance to get close to him.”
Lola smiled bitterly. From a certain perspective, she was taking advantage of the situation.
Markus needed a rest. Marina didn’t stay long. She had to go to the White Group to handle some work.
As soon as Shawn became unconscious, the employees of the company didn’t know what to do. Everyone was in a panic. The shareholders who had just calmed down because of Marina’s threat became restless again.
The reason why the shareholders stopped making trouble and decided to wait and see was not that they were afraid that Marina would really dissolve the company. They were worried that Marina would unite with Ryder to annex the company.
Now that Ryder was involved in his family’s property disputes. It was a good opportunity for them to act.
Marina rubbed her forehead and felt a headache. She couldn’t watch the White Group fall into the hands of others. It was her responsibility to save it.
She paid a visit to the police station. Ryder had already been bailed out by the lawyer and was waiting for her at the Maple Community.
When she returned home, it was already after midnight.
Ryder was sitting in the living room watching TV. What happened at the Langdon family’s banquet had already been in the headlines and attracted everyone’s attention.
“You came back so late.”
Facing the woman in front of him, Ryder felt a little complicated, but the current predicament he was in made him have no time to think too much.
“Yes, I went to the company.”
Marina sat down on the sofa and took a deep breath. She could only relax when she went home. During her day, every nerve in her body was tense. Now, she could finally put down her guard.
“What are you going to do? Mark and Kayden making such a show wasn’t to send you to prison, but to take back the Langdon family’s business through public opinion.”
The aim of the two was only for the shares. If they really wanted to frame Ryder, they should have played something bigger.
The games of the rich were different from those of normal people.
“If the Langdon Group stays in my hands, it will meet its doom eventually. I have long wanted to send the burden away, but I didn’t expect that Kayden would be so ruthless.”
Ryder took out a piece of paper and handed it to Marina. It was the report of the car accident in City J, which clearly stated that the brake clip had been tempered with.
Ryder hired someone to investigate the matter and was sure that it was Mark who did it. However, Mark had planned everything well and found a scapegoat beforehand. Even if they went to court to sue him, the case would fail due to insufficient evidence.
“We can’t let this matter go like this.”
Marina made up her mind to do everything she could to get justice for her brother Shawn.
“Shawn suffered all this because of me, so don’t worry, I won’t let Mark go.”
Ryder didn’t want to be too ruthless, so he left a sum of liquid capital for the Langdon family. Now, he was prepared to leave nothing to them before he handed over the company.
Since Kayden and Mark wanted to get the Langdon Group so much, he would fulfill their wish.
The two of them chatted for a while. Ryder’s face immediately changed after he received a call.
“Is it the news of Shawn…”
Marina sat up nervously. She bit her lips and stared at Ryder.
“No. That woman has returned.”
Ryder couldn’t help but rub the spot between his eyebrows. It was the woman who claimed herself to be his mother, and also who was once Kayden’s lover.
For so many years, that woman had been staying abroad. This time, she acted so fast. Ryder wondered if she got some news.
“He’s at Langdon’s, making a scene.”
Ryder’s tone was cold. He hated this person who used him as a tool but called herself his mother.
“It is too sudden.”
Marina smiled bitterly. She recalled the plot of Mary and Yazmin’s meeting. Yazmin had once appeared on the wedding day of Mary and Ryder. Because she was Kayden’s mistress, Yazmin couldn’t go to the wedding, but she found a chance to see Mary and scolded her.
“You are just the daughter of a nouveau riche. You are not worthy of my son.”
Yazmin was very dissatisfied with Marina. She thought that Marina was slut by climbing into Ryder’s bed. In order to cover the scandal, the two families could only unite by marriage.
What a joke! How could a mistress ridicule Mary like this? Mary didn’t love Ryder. She argued with Yasmin on the spot they almost fought.
Yasmin was not easy to deal with. Now that she came back at this time, Marina had a bad feeling.
“What should we do? Could it be that Ms. Gill is here to seek justice for you?”
Marina didn’t want to go back to Langdon’s. She disliked her mother-in-law.
“Of course not.”
All the unfairness he had to face was caused by this woman. She gave birth to him and made him the shame of the family.
For so many years, Ryder had never felt any love from the woman. All she cared about was money and beauty. That was all.
