NovelEnglishChapter 377 Scalding water crashed down in an instant, and Claire instinctively tried to dodge it, but the iron cage left her nowhere to run.
The boiling water drenched her, drawing a scream of agony as she collapsed onto the floor, writhing in pain.
Her skin turned a furious red; angry blisters welled up in seconds, a gruessight to behold. Already weakened from surgery, Claire's body was in no shape to withstand this sudden assault. Her wounds split open-fresh blood poured out.
Scarlet stood nearby, watching Claire's torment with cruel delight, throwing her head back in laughter. Vincent, on the other hand, looked away, discomfort flickering in his eyes. He let out a heavy sigh. "Claire, why do you have to be so stubborn? If you'd just done as you were told, you could have avoided all this pain." Claire glared at them both, her gaze burning with hatred.
Scarlet, Vincent-you'll pay for this. I swear you will.

Normand shot a glare at Liam, his tone bristling. "Honestly, could you be any more annoying? You know Mandy can't stand you, and yet you keep trying to get close to her." Liam ignored Normand, instead turning his attention to Victor.
"So, this is your little brother? You're sharp as a tack, but he looks like sreckless punk. Hard to believe you two are actually related." Victor hadn't expected this either-the girl his brother kept talking about turned out to be the sone Liam was interested in.
Normand's scowl deepened at Liam's words. "Speak for yourself, punk. Takes one to know one." "Normand," Victor interrupted, placing a hand on his brother's shoulder.
Normand huffed, clearly irritated. "Whose side are you on, Victor? Yours or his? If I'd known you'd take his side, I wouldn't have bothered bringing you along to meet Mandy." Right then, Mandy stepped out of the school building.
Normand waved, trying to catch her attention. "Mandy, over here!" The sight of Normand and Liam together gave Mandy an instant headache. Truthfully, she didn't want to see either of them.
She was about to pretend she hadn't noticed them when Liam's phone rang.
He pulled it out, surprised to see Jeffry's non the screen.
He answered immediately, concern sharp in his voice. "Jeffry, how are the boss and Ms. Linwood?" At the mention of Claire, Mandy's ears perked up. She strode over to Liam, anxious to catch every word.
Jeffry's voice crackled through the speaker, urgent and breathless. "We ran into a landslide in the mountains. The boss's legs are both broken." "What?" Liam's face drained of color.
Mandy's expression twisted in horror. "What about Claire?" Jeffry hesitated, then blurted out, "Ms. Linwood's transplant surgery went well, but... but as soon as she woke up, someone kidnapped her." Mandy felt a sudden ringing in her ears, her mind going numb.
Claire had just cout of transplant surgery-her body was still dangerously fragile.
Now she'd been kidnapped? If she caught an infection now, she might not survive.
Mandy couldn't stand still any longer. She seized Liam's arm, desperation in her eyes. "Taketo her. Now." Liam didn't waste a second. He jumped into the car, Mandy right behind him.

Seeing this, Normand's expression darkened. Realizing the gravity of the situation, he jumped into his own car with Victor, revved the engine, and sped after Liam. The two cars raced down the road, the world blurring past them in their urgency.
In the passenger seat, Mandy clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white. Her white. Her eyes burned with unshed tears and barely restrained fury. Hang on, Claire. I'm coming for you.
Whoever dared to lay a hand on Claire-no matter who they were would pay in blood.
Meanwhile, three others were also setting out.
They were none other than Vanessa's biological parents and her kid brother- Sophia, Garnett Brown, and Hank Brown.
Without the Linwood family's om financial support, Hank had no choice but to return home. It was only then, from his own parents, that he finally learned the whole painful truth.
