Chapter 7
Maya and Matthew got into the ambulance while Wyatt was at the hospital.
Maya was furious. She hadn’t expected Wyatt, who had always been obedient to her, to dare to hit her
He had also viciously attacked Matthew.
On the way to the hospital, Maya called Hayley to complain.
a
“Mom, what’s wrong? I’m in a meeting right now. I’ll call you back later,” Hayley whispered.
Maya wailed, “Why are you still in a meeting? That bastard Wyatt is causing choos!”
“Mom, what happened?”
Maya sobbed as she said, “Matt and I went to find Wyatt to ask about the calligraphy artwork. He tried to steal it when he learned that it was Mr. Cowan’s original artwork.”
“When we refused to give it to him, he hit me and severely injured Matt. Matt’s currently in critical condition, and the doctors are trying to save him.”
“What?”
Maya stopped the meeting immediately. She was extremely shocked. “Matt’s in critical condition?”
“Can you please stop exaggerating? It’s just some external injuries and a broken arm. It’s not life- threatening!” The paramedic in the ambulance glared at Maya.
Hayley felt relieved after hearing the paramedic’s words. “Mom, you’re overreacting. Wyatt’s a gentle person. He wouldn’t resort to violence.”
“Gentle, my ass! You didn’t see him, but he looked ready to kill us! We’d probably be dead if we hadn’t run fast enough.”
Hayley was speechless. She couldn’t imagine Wyatt being violent.
“By the way, Mom, how did it go when you asked him about it? Was that calligraphy artwork really written by him?”
“That bastard didn’t write it at all. Why would he fight us for it if he had written it?” Maya’s heart ached over the loss of the artwork. “That’s Mr. Cowan’s original calligraphy artwork. It’s worth millions of dollars.
“Hayley, you need to find someone to arrest Wyatt immediately. We need to reclaim our family’s prized
possession.”
Hayley advised, “Mom, that artwork originally belonged to Wyatt. It’s understandable that he took it back. We don’t need it anymore.
“How can we not need it? He’s committing a robbery…”
Before Hayley could hang up!
phone, Maya quickly added, “Don’t hang up yet. There’s more. Wyatt has
a mistress. He and that wench attacked us together.”
Ashes Hayley laughed in disbettet.
Ateng with Wyatt for three years, Hayley believed that she knew him well enough. She believed that

The went another woman a glance, no matter how beautiful she was.
OM need to get back to my meeting. I’ll call you later,” Hayley said casually.
Maya came hysterical. “Hayley, your brother and I were beaten so badly that we need to bet Sustained. I might as well die if you don’t care about us Don’t stop me! I’m going to jump out of the car
Hearing Maya’s distress, Hayley relented. “Alright, Mom. I’ll give Wyatt a call later to ask him what’s going. on it be had really hit you, I won’t let him get away.”
Tayley, you must avenge me.”
The word “Die” that had been formed by the 13 venomous leeches in the jar chilled Ann’s hands and feet.
It was undeniably a declaration of war, a threat, and a demonstration.
As the queen of the business world and the eldest daughter of the Moore family, she had experienced
many storms.
But being faced with such a weird and sinister situation made her slightly panicked.
“What should we do?” She looked at Wyatt helplessly.
Wyatt remained calm and smiled. “I’ve already solved this problem for you. Whether I’ll continue to help
you depends on Mr. Moore’s intentions.”
Ann was stunned and rushed to call her grandfather.
She returned not long after. “Wyatt, my grandfather said that he’ll send you the crimson mushroom immediately. Please help me solve the problem completely. He’ll also send you some reptilian grass
within a month!”
Reptilian grass!
Wyatt’s eyes gleamed. This was a medicinal herb known for its health benefits and strength–boosting
properties.
The old man really knew what Wyatt needed and offered him an irresistible deal.
Now that Wyatt had lifted the Dragon Seal, the most important thing was to train and regain his previous strength. Only then could he seek justice for his daughter,
“Alright. Then, I’ll help you till the end,” he assured with a faint smile.
Ann was delighted. “So, what should we do now?”
Wyatt pondered for a moment and said, “Their target is obviously Toledo Corporation. It’s most likely a
business rival, You should know better than me who’s behind all of this.”
Ann narrowed her eyes slightly and said, “I have a few people in mind but no certain answer.”
“Keep investigating, and you’ll definitely find clues. They’ll attempt another attack after this failure. I believe that they’ll reveal themselves soon, so we can’t fall into disarray now-
Before he could finish speaking, Weston and Hugh barged in.
“It’s been so long. How’s the treatment going?” Weston asked eagerly.
“They’re back to normal,” Ann answered, gesturing to the monitoring equipment.
Weston took a look and found that the indicators displayed on the equipment showed that the patients‘ vitals had returned to normal.
“Ah, Mr. Moore, I was right after all,” Hugh said with a smile as he stroked his beard. “My acupuncture treatment had helped to eliminate the toxins from their bodies, which led to their recovery.
“Huh?”
Ann and Wyatt exchanged a surprised look.
It was clear that Hugh had almost made a huge mistake. The patients had been saved by Wyatt, but Hugh
was eager to take the credit for it.
“Dr. Coulson, you’re truly remarkable,” Weston praised.
Wyatt remained silent. He didn’t care who got the credit. His focus was solely on the crimson mushroom.
Unable to take it any longer, Ann interjected, “It was Wyatt who cured them. Why are you taking the credit? Besides, these employees weren’t poisoned. They were cursed.
“If you use acupuncture to detoxify them, that’d only aggravate the venomous leeches and accelerate their death. Have you forgotten what happened just now?”
“Nonsense! What venomous leeches? They were obviously poisoned. Without my acupuncture treatment, how could they have recovered?” Weston stubbornly argued.
“If
you
don’t believe me, just see for yourself. The venomous leeches are right here. They were all forced out by Wyatt ” Ann pointed to the glass jar on the table.
Hugh stepped forward to inspect the jar and sneered. “What venomous leeches? These are clearly just caterpillars. Wyatt must have brought them here to deceive you. Can’t you see that?”
As he spoke, he picked up the jar.
“Don’t open it!” Wyatt’s expression changed.
But it was too late. Hugh had already opened the jar with a smirk. He sneered and said, “Look, it’s just a
cate-
Before he could finish speaking, a black venomous leech shot into Hugh’s nostril with lightning speed.
Hugh’s face twisted in agony. Soon, he felt an excruciating pain pierce through his heart.
He fell to his knees in pain and begged, “Dr. Coleman, save me-”
