Chapter 212 The Real Benefactor is Her
Pearl handed over her phone. "There are some wedding pics floating around online."
Paige saw shots of Lily holding Oliver's hand, heading towards Raymond's wedding venue. Paige glanced at the photos and asked Pearl, "Didn't you make sure all the guests deleted their pics from that day?"
Pearl replied, "No way. Everyone at the wedding deleted their photos."
Raymond chimed in, "Yeah, I told Charles to handle that."
Paige looked at Raymond, "So, where did these photos come from if everyone deleted theirs?"
Raymond said, "I'll get someone to look into it right away."
Paige, looking serious, said, "No need. Since no one here would dare post these, I'll take care of it online." Paige's hacking skills often went unused, but not today.
A few minutes later, Paige had scrubbed the photos and posts from the web. She also set up a system to flag and block any frontal photos of Lily from being posted online.
After cleaning up the mess, Paige started tracking down who leaked the info. "Pearl, keep an eye out. If anything similar pops up, let me know ASAP."
Lily was just a temporary pawn for Raymond and Paige. Paige tracked the IP, expecting it to be hidden. Surprisingly, she found it easily. "Domestic, huh."
"If it's the same group from here, there might be some personal beef involved." Raymond had no choice now, just getting back on his feet. Who knew how many people were watching his every move?
Paige said, "Getting these photos took effort, so they came prepared. All the guests' photos were deleted, so maybe we should start with the staff from that day."
With Paige's hint, Pearl got to work right away. But within moments, Paige had already locked onto the IP address. Last time, Margaret's birthday party was here, so Paige knew this address well. "Interesting, I can still find you!"
Pearl glanced at it and said, "Isn't this the Trump family's hotel? They're doing some online promos. But would they really mess with Mr. Carnegie?"
Paige's expression turned icy. "The Trump family wouldn't dare, but Elijah would! For Xena, Elijah might do anything."
With Paige's words, Raymond got it. "The Sackler family again? What do they want? They just took fifty million from me, and now this?" Raymond's anger was justified. After taking fifty million, the Sackler family was still causing trouble.
"What fifty million?" Paige looked at Raymond, still unaware that the Sackler family had taken fifty million from her.
Raymond said, "It was to settle the debt with the life-saving benefactor."
Paige sighed. "Looks like no one's getting any sleep tonight." She called out, "Julian! Julian!" She gave Julian the address and instructed, "Bring Xena to me, whatever it takes, just make sure she's alive."
"Got it." Julian grabbed his coat and made a call as he headed out.
Meanwhile, Paige turned to Raymond. "Let's talk about this life-saving benefactor of yours."
Raymond didn't mince words. "The person Margaret brought to Ethan was Xena."
Paige quickly zeroed in. "When did this life-saving event happen?"
Raymond thought back. "It was a car accident. Calum died, and I was seriously injured. The hospital didn't have my blood type. In our family, we keep our rare blood type a secret to prevent anyone from using it against us. So, there's no important health info about us out there."
Paige suddenly asked, "If I remember right, this was fifteen years ago?"
Raymond nodded. "Yeah, fifteen years ago, I needed a lot of blood."
Paige was taken aback; it really was fifteen years ago. "You have a rare blood type?"
Raymond looked at Paige, surprised. "Yes."
Seeing Paige's face grow more serious, Raymond got worried.
Paige called Locas directly. "Locas, come over now and bring a blood test analyzer.""Yes, I'm at Willow Crest Estate waiting for you," said Paige.
Locas arrived in fifteen minutes, and Paige immediately went to get the blood analyzer. Locas was puzzled. "Why did you need this so urgently at night?"
Paige didn't answer directly and focused on setting up the blood analyzer. After calibrating it, she set it aside and checked the time.
There was already some commotion outside, and Xena's angry voice could be heard. "This is illegal detention, I'll sue you."
Hearing the voice, Paige put on gloves, grabbed a syringe, and walked out. Seeing Paige with the syringe, Xena was terrified. "Paige, what are you doing?"
Without answering, Paige approached Xena, who tried to struggle but was restrained by Julian.
Julian held Xena down, and Paige drew half a vial of blood from her, then quickly returned to the blood analyzer. She wanted to conduct this blood analysis herself.
In less than half an hour, Paige completed Xena's blood analysis. Xena, still restrained by Julian, was now very quiet, her mind racing.
Seeing the report, Paige walked straight towards Xena. Then, Paige slapped Xena hard across the face. "Type A blood, and you dare claim to be Raymond's life-saving benefactor? Xena, are you tired of living? Tell me, who is Raymond's real life-saving benefactor, you or me?"
