"What's wrong?" Alexander asked.

"Trevor got beaten up," Elise answered with an emotionless expression on her face.

Upon seeing her expression, Alexander knew it was a serious matter.

Reaching out to grab her hand in his, he patted her shoulder gently to reassure her and ended up holding her hand throughout the entire journey.

When they got to the hospital, Elise was told that Jeanie was also injured while protecting Trevor.

After they rushed into the hospital, they quickly ran into Jeanie, who was supported by a nurse.Her head was bandaged, and she looked really weak.

Trevor's condition was worse.He was lying in bed and couldn’t get up at all, immediately returning to his old self.

In Trevor’s ward, Austin was quiet while sitting next to his bed, and the atmosphere in the ward was extremely tense.

"What happened?"

Elise broke the silence, as she couldn't handle the depressing atmosphere any longer.

Although her words were directed to Jeanie, the usually straightforward Jeanie hesitated before muttering inaudible sentences.

Elise turned toward Austin.However, it was a given that he wasn’t willing to talk to her.

"Tell me what happened," she turned to Trevor and said in an annoyed manner.

I'm here to help them resolve their problems instead of causing more trouble for them, so why are they hesitating to talk? 

"I got scammed and blackmailed."

As Trevor's entire head was covered in bandages and only his eyes and mouth weren't covered, he was having a hard time trying to explain what happened.

"I took the money you gave me to make a deal with the company’s financial director, but I didn’t expect him to spike my drink.When I woke up, there was a woman sleeping next to me, and the woman's brother came in with a group of men before I could try to escape and beat me up."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "They refused to settle things peacefully and were adamant about destroying my reputation, so they're probably on the way to prepare an exposé at some media firms."

"Did you do it?" Elise asked coldly.

"Of course not."
