Chapter 782 Kavi, Are You Courting Death by Returning to the Country?
Ryan didn't say anything and drove Fiona away.
"You are healthy now, okay?" Ryan spoke again while waiting at the traffic light. "Stop treating yourself like a patient. You're completely healthy now. You can even make a comeback if you want."
Fiona shook her head. "I used to be an actress because I liked it, and I liked Ethan."
Fiona said whatever was on her mind. She had loved Ethan, and there was nothing shameful about that.
Ryan's grip on the steering wheel tightened a bit.
"But now, I just want to love myself well." Fiona took a deep breath.
"Have you ever thought about trying to love someone else?" Ryan almost pointed to himself.
But Fiona just didn't think it. "I don't have that thought."
Ryan fell silent.
At the hospital entrance.
Abigail watched Ryan and Fiona leave, squinting her eyes.
She finally caught something on Ryan.
She came to the hospital today and coincidentally saw Ryan and Fiona acting intimately while fastening their seat belts.
Abigail took a photo and even zoomed in to take a closer look.
Wan't this woman that little star?
With a cold laugh, Abigail was still angry about Ryan exposing her husband's infertility in the family group chat. Now, Ryan had exposed his little secret by himself.
She remember that this little star named Fiona was Nolan's sister?
What if Nolan found out?
Silverlight City, business district evening banquet.
It was Jasmine's first public appearance at such an event after giving birth.
Ethan let Jasmine hold his arm and asked softly, "If you get tired, we can leave early."
Jasmine shook her head.
In the contemporary business arena, true longevity depended not merely on ability, but on the cultivation of influential connections and the command of significant capital.
Jasmine and Ethan attending together was, of course, to make their business smoother.
"Mr. Douglas." Steven came over with a glass of wine, glancing at Jasmine with a smile. "Mrs. Douglas."
Jasmine looked at Steven warily, with Richard dutifully acting as a bodyguard behind him.
Jasmine felt a bit helpless, Richard really was playing the role of a bodyguard earnestly.
"Mr. Hughes." Ethan exchanged pleasantries with Steven, both exuding strong auras.
"I heard Kavi came to Silverlight City." Ethan brought up proactively.
Steven's expression changed slightly, then he smiled and nodded. "Yes, Kavi's body has never been good. He had no intention of coming back, but for some reason, he did."
Just as he finished speaking, Kavi walked in with Brade.
The Hughes family was a family business, originally built by Willie Hughes and his brothers.
Willie was a business genius who founded the Hughes Group, leading the Hughes family to rapid development in Muskow.
Kavi was in charge of commerce and business in the Silverwood. He was ruthless, and everyone knew he wasn't involved in legitimate business, but in Muskow, the Hughes family needed such connections and a ruthless controller, so Willie let it be.
Unfortunately, times have changed. After Willie's death, Kavi started planning to seize power.
He couldn't let a few young people command him, nor could he let Steven have more power than him.
Moreover, Steven wanted to transform all of Kavi's businesses, essentially abandoning them.
Back when the company needed them, they worked tirelessly. Now that they weren't needed, they were being discarded. Kavi's subordinates naturally wouldn't agree, and Kavi wouldn't either.
So, he always wanted to get rid of Steven, but he didn't expect Steven to survive.
"Kavi." Steven stepped forward, smiling and greeting. "It's been years, you look younger."
His gaze fell on Brade, and Steven's eyes darkened.
Brade also looked at Steven coldly.
The outcome was still uncertain.
"Steven, since nothing happened to you, why didn't you come back or call home?" Kavi said with a smile.
He held Steven's hand, creating a harmonious illusion for outsiders.
After pulling Steven aside, he lowered his voice. "You should know by now that Betty took your assets and inheritance and got married, right?"
Steven squinted his eyes. "I'm not dead yet, so there's no inheritance. Betty is still my wife, that's an undeniable fact."
Steven had to hold onto the things Betty had and protect her.
Betty holding those things would definitely attract danger.
"I heard Betty married a bodyguard and had a daughter." Kavi said with a smile. "That child isn't yours, is it?"
Steven gritted his teeth. "I advise you not to court death. Don't mess with that child, and don't mess with Betty and Richard."
What Steven said was ture. If Kavi didn't harm Betty, the big shots in Silverlight City might not interfere with the Hughes family's affairs.
But if Kavi recklessly harmed Betty and Indigo, Steven couldn't guarantee what would happen if Ethan, Betty, and others in Silverlight City united against Kavi.
But Kavi was convinced that Indigo was Steven's daughter and Richard was just a front.
He looked at Richard, who was acting as Steven's bodyguard, and sneered. "You can fool others, but not me."
Steven felt helpless, Kavi's intelligence had backfired on him.
"You don't think that with Mark dead, you can rest easy, do you?" Steven smiled. "This is Silverlight City, not Muskow. In Silverlight City, I advise you not to harm Betty and her family."
This was the first time Steven acknowledged Richard as Betty's family.
Kavi came today to warn Steven.
After this, he would definitely target Indigo.
Because only by controlling Indigo, the sole heir of Steven and Betty, could he truly gain everything from the Hughes family.
So, Kavi planned to take Indigo back to Muskow.
But he didn't realize that Betty was a mother, and a mother would fight fiercely to protect her child.
He was courting death by coming back.
"You'd better stay away from him and avoid direct conflict." Seeing Kavi and Steven part on bad terms, Richard stepped forward to remind him.
Steven glanced at Richard. "I need to remind you, Betty holds everything of the Hughes family. Kavi will target her. Protect your daughter."
Richard frowned.
One threat was just resolved, and now another one appeared.
"I understand." Richard watched Kavi warily.
Harming Betty and Indigo was out of the question.
