Chapter 13 " Rhett , what's wrong with you , don't scare Mom ! " " Go get the doctor ! " Georgia was so anxious she started to cry . Carmen looked at the scene and couldn't help saying in a serious tone , " Rhett , this kid , was spoiled by you . " He pointed toward the study : " He just walked in and started arguing with Lio , then they showed Emily and Rhett's divorce papers , and right in front of me and Jordon , he actually dared to go at Elliott . That's just outrageous ! " " Rhett didn't really grow up with us , and he just got hurt . Did you notice ? " Georgia was left speechless . Just now , she really did look at Everett , who was covered in blood , first and ignored Elliott . Carmen also sighed . Not just her , his attention had all been on Rhett just now too . Even though we were family by blood , the distance from being apart for twenty years still needed time to heal . " Alright , we already owed Rhett . Whatever happens between Rhett and Emily , let them be . As for the kids , we should stay out of it . " *** Everett was in a coma for three days . In these three days , the internet was flooded with news about Mr. Elliott from the Barnes Group . The finance headlines kept speculating about who would inherit the Barnes Group . Some people dug up that Elliott was 0.00 % 00.3700 Chapter 13 17 actually the one in charge of Northstar Group in Europe , and his business empire could rival the Barnes Group . Elliott himself put out a statement right when things were heated , and he kept it short and strong : I have no intention of getting involved in the family business inheritance fight . Right now , my only focus is preparing for my wedding with my fiancée . In the VIP room , Duncan Dillon held a tablet and told his friend Everett the news reports and what he had found out , one by one . The front part , Everett's phoenix eyes were calm , no change at all . But when he heard the last sentence , his fingers tightened without him noticing , and his fingers squeezed the blood pressure monitor , making a " beep beep " alarm sound . M Duncan and Winfred Huffman were startled and were about to call the nurse . Everett just threw away what he was holding , looked at Duncan , and said in a hoarse voice , " Marriage ? He made his marriage with Emily public ? " " Not really , their marriage hadn't been made public in the media yet . " " But pretty much everyone in our circle already knew . " Duncan talked to himself : " Your brother just went after your girl right away . Who would believe he didn't have any ideas about the Barnes Group ? He was just trying to put you down in a different way . " " Luckily , he had no idea that Emily was the woman you didn't want . Just thinking about Elliott ending up with nothing made me want to laugh . " " Emily was such a lovesick fool . Even if you broke her heart , if someone who looked a bit like you just crooked their finger , she'd rush over to them right away . " 00370 Chapter 13 " What do you call this , double happiness ! " no vouchers Duncan finished talking in a loud , careless way , and the hospital room went so quiet you could hear a pin drop . Even Duncan , as clueless as he was , realized Everett didn't look happy at all after hearing the news . He exchanged a look with Winfred , who was sitting in the corner , wearing silver - rimmed glasses and had a handsome , delicate face . Duncan looked complicated and asked uncertainly , " Rhett , you're not having a hard time letting go of Emily , are you ? " No. " Everett replied quickly . He answered so fast , it actually seemed like he was hiding something , just denying it to cover up . ་ རྣག་ བཅུན་ ་་་ ་་་ A trace of darkness flashed in Winfred's eyes behind the lenses . Duncan didn't notice his friend's subtle expression and just let out a sigh of relief : " That's good . " He leaned back against the chair and spoke with his usual cynical tone . " Even if you softened up later and wanted Emily to come back , you still had to think it through . " " They must have slept together for so long , her and Elliott , and done dirty things . " " If this were my woman , I wouldn't even want to look at her . " Duncan finished his two sentences , and then he felt the air pressure in the hospital room suddenly drop . Winfred looked serious .
