NovelEnglishChapter 1322: In Vloustin City, the Fletcher family had moved from their former residence to a villa in a prestigious area. The new hwas just as lavish as the previous one.
Inside the study, a middle-aged man with thick gray hair sat at his desk, his expression one of deep thought. Clad in a black suit, he supported his weak right hand with his left, attempting to grasp a pen, only to let it fall moments later. He felt completely helpless.

There was a knock, and the door opened.
Brinley entered, her brow furrowing at the sight of the smoky room. She promptly opened the windows to air out the space before approaching her husband, Samson.
Seeing the ink blots scattered across the paper and the photograph of Paulina, Brinley immediately understood the situation. She softly suggested, "The doctor recommended you refrain from using your hand. You need to rest it for a few days. And as for Paulina, she really shouldn't have antagonized you. She was injured by a gunshot, and now her whereabouts are unknown..." Samson raised his eyes to hers with a chilling gaze, cutting her off.
"What's the status?" His voice was completely detached.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBrinley, a meticulously groomed middle-aged woman, had been instrumental in many of Samson's plans for decades. For instance, she had skillfully manipulated events to help him seize control of the Fletcher family. Brinley added, almost proudly, "The Happer family was furious to hear Paulina had fled. However, I told them that our men had shot her in the waist, which seemed to calm them. Still, are you certain she didn't escape to Baythorn to seek out Harlee?" Upon hearing this, Samson gave his wife an indifferent look, his eyes ablaze with displeasure. "I've discovered Harlee is the missing daughter who reconnected with the Sanderson family a few years back. I want nothing to do with the Sanderson family of Baythorn!" Had Samson realized earlier that the woman who had taken Serena away was a Sanderson, his approach might have been warmer, perhaps even attempting to forge a connection.
Samson's irritation flared again, and he redirected his frustration toward Serena. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been caught in the dilemma of offending the powerful Sanderson family of Baythorn. Serena had becan endless source of problems, a curse. Even after leaving the Fletcher family, she continued to create chaos in their lives. If he had known she would turn out to be such a troublemaker, he would never have adopted her from the orphanage. She had beca thankless viper.
As Samson mulled over these thoughts, his disdain for Serena grew. Had he not gone years without hearing a word from her, he would have already kidnapped her and sent her off to the beds of business partners. After all those years of raising her, she had brought him nothing but enemies and no advantages.
"Honey, has work been wearing you out lately? Why aren't you being gentle with me?" Brinley asked, feigning offense. "Don't you believe in my capabilities? I have eyes on both the Sanderson and Green villas. Even if Paulina makes it there, she won't be able to meet Harlee."
A harshness crept onto Brinley's face. She wasn't foolish enough to let a dangerous enemy spaway. Did Valentin Fletcher, Paulina's father, really think he could rely on Paulina for a comeback? He was dreaming.
Samson's voice turned colder, and he avoided her gaze. "I'm quite annoyed right now and not in the mood to n debate this with you."
