Almost as if he'd been listening, the door opened, and in came Ken, together with Chaney.

"Diana, I've got something," Ken uttered.

"Really?" Diana stood up immediately.

Ken put something into Diana's hand and said, "This is the CCTV from the area where the car accident happened. Someone wanted to delete it, but I got to it before they were able. The car tried to hit you deliberately. And it had been following you for a while."

"Diana, the driver has been taken to the police station," Chaney said.

"Has he said anything?" Brian asked coldly.

Chaney shook his head. "He claims that it wasn't deliberate. He won't admit anything. And if he sticks to that, he will be released today."

This was too much for Brian to hear. He got up to leave at once.

"What are you doing?" Diana asked.

"Please fetch my clothes. I need to go to the police station. I can't let him just get away with this." Ken had things to do in the company, Chaney was French; he didn't understand how things worked here. Brian felt it was up to him.

"But you just woke up…" Diana was worried about Brian's health.

"I am fine," Brian insisted.

"Okay, but I will go with you," Diana said anxiously.

"No, you stay here with Abby. Wait till I get back. Trust me!" Brian looked at Diana intensely.

"Okay, I will stay." Diana agreed.

"Ken, you drive," Brian ordered.

"Let's do it."

Then Brian looked at Chaney. "Please protect them while I am not here. I appreciate your help."

Chaney nodded. They both knew what had to be done.

With that, Brian turned to the door and walked out.

"Boss, are you okay?" Ken was worried. Brian had given a lot of blood and even fainted as a result. It was debatable whether Brian should even leave the hospital.

"I am fine." Brian's pale face gave away how he was really doing. But his mind was occupied by thoughts of Abby and Diana. Someone must have planned to do it. If he couldn't find out who was trying to hurt them, the same thing might happen again in the future.

Meanwhile, Antonette received a call from Carl.

"We succeeded," he said calmly.

"Well done!" Antonette was delighted.

"How about my money?" Carl asked.

"Just wait," Antonette snapped. "I need to make sure she is in the hospital. I will pay you later."

"Pay me now, bitch!" Carl shouted.

Antonette smiled. "Take it easy. I will give you the money."

Antonette ended the call. She had to check Diana's situation herself.

Carl was enraged. He really hated Antonette.

As if that wasn't bad enough, one of his men approached him with a rather apprehensive look on his face.

"Boss, they took Jarvis."

"What?" How did this happen?!" Carl bellowed.

The man was visibly frightened by his boss's reaction.

"I… I don't know…" he stumbled over his words, backing away as Carl's anger increased.

"Useless!" Carl sent the man flying with a brutal backhanded slap to the face.

And now Carl was very anxious indeed. On top of the news about Jarvis, he knew that Diana wasn't actually hurt in the accident. Would Antonette still pay him when she found out?

"Do you know where Jarvis was taken to?"

The man answered him and agreed to take Carl to the location.

Meanwhile, Brian and Ken took Jarvis to a deserted planet.

"Who are you? Why am I here?" Jarvis asked frightfully.

"Why? Don't you know what you have done?" Brian uttered coldly.

Judging from the way Brian spoke and how he was dressed, Jarvis knew Brian was no ordinary man.

"What did I do?" Jarvis cried.

"Think hard. If you still don't know what you have done, I can help you." He was a few centimeters from Jarvis' face, waiting.

Finally, Jarvis opened his eyes and saw the pistol in Brian's hand. He was afraid but compared to what Carl had done to those who had betrayed him, this was still a far better scenario.

Brian grinned and fired a warning shot into the ceiling. Then he aimed at Jarvis' head.

Ken punched Jarvis in the face, sending blood spewing from his mouth.

"Tell us!" he yelled.

Just like that, Jarvis lost his nerve. He cried out, "I will talk. I will talk…"

Brian gave the pistol back to Ken and wiped his hands on his trousers.

"Carl is my boss. He instructed me to follow the woman and hit her with my car. And it was a woman! Another woman paid Carl to do the job!" Jarvis recalled.

"Who was the woman?" Brian murmured.

Seeing Brian's troubled look, Jarvis stumbled, "I can't remember her last name. Her first name was… it was… Antonette."

"Antonette White?" Brian asked.

Jarvis nodded his head. "Yes! Yes! Antonette White!"

Brian took a sharp intake of breath. The anger flooded over him in an instant. He didn't know much about that half-sister of his. Why would she do that to Abby and Diana?

Brian tried to figure it out, but nothing made sense.

One of Brian's bodyguards had received some information and took the chance to pass it on to Brian whilst things were quiet.

Brian grabbed Jarvis by the collar.

"I need you to do something."

"Okay! Just say it! I'll do whatever you want." Jarvis bowed to Brian, a broken man.

"If you do it well, I will pay you," Brian said.

Brian told Jarvis what he needed him to do and then left with Ken and the bodyguard.

Jarvis sat there and recalled Brian's threats; that if he didn't do what Brian asked, he would wish they had killed him. He shuddered at the thought.

Just a few minutes too late, Carl and his men burst into the plant where Jarvis was still tied to a chair. They rushed over to free him.

"Where are they?" Carl demanded.

Jarvis cried out and kneeled down before Carl. "Carl! Please save my wife and son!"

Carl frowned. "What happened to them?"
