Chapter 274
Daniel's face went dark as a storm cloud. He clenched his jaw and spat out, "I want him outta here! You docs are useless! Thundertop's gotta have someone who can fix him!"
The attending doc sighed and said, "Blake, the big shot from Thundertop Liberty General Hospital, was here a few days ago. Even if he undergoes surgery, he only has a 10% chance of success."
Daniel was floored. He knew Blake, the top dog at Thundertop Liberty General Hospital, who almost never lost a patient.
In Thundertop's elite circles, they even said if you were on death's door, Blake could pull you back.
If even Blake had no hope, it meant it was really game over.
The room was dead silent for a long time before Daniel told the butler to wheel him out.
Once they were out of the hospital, he said coldly, "Take me to see Felix!"
Jonah ended up like this 'cause he saved Gianna. Daniel wasn't gonna let that slide!
In less than half an hour, Daniel stormed into Felix's office.
Daniel demanded, "Mr. Clinton, do you know Jonah is lying in the hospital, dying, 'cause he saved your wife?"
Felix met Daniel's furious gaze calmly and said slowly, "I know. I'm looking for top neurology experts from all over to treat him."
Daniel sneered, "Jonah is the heir to the Getty Group. You think just finding a doctor is enough, Mr. Clinton?"
Felix's eyes turned icy, "Then what does Mr. Getty want?"
Daniel declared, "If Jonah dies, I'll make the Clinton Group pay the price!"
The temperature in Felix's office dropped like a rock, almost freezing.
Felix glared at him, "Mr. Getty, this isn't Thundertop, and the Clinton Group isn't some pushover. Before you talk big, you better think if you really have what it takes to take on the Clinton Group!"
Daniel shot back, "If Jonah dies, there's no point in keeping the Getty Group. Even if it means bankrupting the Getty Group to destroy the Clinton Group, I'll do it!"
Felix retorted, "Mr. Getty, go ahead and try!"
The two men stared each other down, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife.
Daniel said to the butler, "Let's go!"
After leaving the Clinton Group, Daniel fumed, "Felix is just too much!"
The butler was quiet for a bit but then said, "Mr. Getty, there's something I don't know if I should say."
Daniel glanced at him, "You've been with the Getty family for years. When have you ever said something you shouldn't have? Just spit it out."
The butler sighed and said slowly, "You heard what those docs said. Mr. Jonah Getty's condition is probably hopeless. Instead of wasting time looking for more docs, why not have Jonah leave a kid for the Getty family before he goes? At worst, you can raise Mr. Jonah Getty's kid for another ten years."
He paused and added, "And a kid you raise yourself will definitely be more obedient than Mr. Jonah Getty."
Hearing this, Daniel was tempted but then frowned, "But with his personality, he won't listen to me!"
The butler grinned and said in a low voice, "Mr. Getty, you forget Mr. Jonah Getty likes Mr. Clinton's wife. If you send her to Mr. Jonah Getty's bed, you think he'll say no?"
Daniel frowned and said unhappily, "A woman who's been married isn't fit to marry into the Getty family!"
The butler countered, "The main thing is Mr. Jonah Getty likes her, and it can also be a way to stick it to the Clinton Group. It's a win-win!"
Daniel mulled it over, then grinned and nodded, "That's a killer idea. Let's roll with it!"
Early the next morning, Gianna had just left her place when she noticed someone tailing her.
She checked the rearview mirror and saw two cars on her tail. Smirking, she headed towards the outskirts of the city.
The road got emptier, and soon the two cars behind her started closing in, probably thinking she was heading somewhere remote, so they got bolder.
Finally, Gianna's car stopped in a deserted area, and the two cars behind her pulled up too.
As soon as she stepped out, five or six burly dudes got out of the cars, looking all tough and ready for action.
Gianna eyed them coldly, "Who sent you?"
She thought about who she might've pissed off recently and figured it was probably that competitor from last week. MY FASHION had beaten them in a bidding war, and their manager had sworn revenge.
The guys didn't say a word and rushed at her with ropes, clearly planning to kidnap her.
Seeing the ropes, Gianna kicked the first guy who came at her, smirking.
Gianna sneered, "You think you can nab me with just some ropes?"
The guys were clearly shocked by her strength. After a moment's hesitation, they all charged at her together.
In less than five minutes, all of them were on the ground, groaning, their faces bruised and battered.
Gianna casually grabbed one of the guys and said coldly, "Who sent you?"
When he didn't answer, she punched him a few more times, hitting spots that hurt like hell but wouldn't kill him. He begged for mercy.
He whimpered, "I'll talk. It was Mr. Getty who sent us."
Gianna asked, confused, "Mr. Getty?"
She was puzzled. She didn't know any boss named Getty.
Gianna pressed, "Why does he want to kidnap me?"
He replied, "We don't know. We were just following orders. Mr. Getty told us to kidnap you, drug you, and send you to Mr. Jonah Getty's bed."
Gianna frowned and said coldly, "The Mr. Getty you're talking about, is he Jonah's dad?"
The guy nodded, "Yeah, Mr. Getty is a big shot in Thundertop..."
Before he could finish, Gianna knocked him out with a punch.
Having gotten the info she needed, she didn't waste any more time on these clowns. She got in her car and called Otis.
Gianna said, "Find out who Jonah's dad is!"
Then she hung up and drove off.
As soon as she reached the top floor, Otis rushed over, "Gianna, here's the info you wanted. Jonah's dad is named Daniel Getty, the president of the Getty Group in Thundertop. The Getty family is one of the eight major families in Thundertop, and there are four families above them..."
Gianna cut him off impatiently, "I just want to know where he is now."
Otis replied, "He's currently in Dawnridge. Gianna, are you planning to work with the Getty family? Even though they're in the fashion industry, they've never worked with companies outside of Thundertop."
Gianna's lips curled into a cold smile, and she said slowly, "Give me his current address!"
Dare to kidnap her? She'd make him regret it!
Seeing her smile, Otis felt a chill.
Gianna's expression didn't look like she wanted to make nice with the Getty family; it looked more like she wanted to stir up some serious trouble.
