Samuel Dalton shielded her behind him, pulling out a jet-black handgun from his waist under Mortir Dalton’s horrified gaze.
He aid at Mortir Dalton’s legs.
His clear eyes were filled with ferocity.
He pulled the trigger without hesitation.
’Bang! Bang!’
Two shots hit Mortir Dalton’s legs!
"Ah!... Ah!... Ha! ... That woman indeed left you a weapon! ..."
Mortir Dalton struggled frantically in his wheelchair.
Samuel Dalton didn’t want to look at his repulsive face any longer. He turned to help the still-dazed Selena Kensington untie the ropes.
At that mont, a group of people suddenly poured in from outside.
Leading them... was Butler Dalton.
A confidant of the Dalton patriarch.
Butler Dalton watched the scene, a trace of sigh in his eyes, "Master Samuel, Master Mortir, and this young lady, please move to the Dalton Family estate."
Samuel Dalton knew that Butler Dalton’s appearance ant that the Dalton patriarch was already aware of the matter.
In the end, the three of them were taken to the Dalton estate.
In the car, Selena Kensington and Samuel Dalton were given so basic first aid, Selena wasn’t bleeding much.
But Samuel Dalton had lost a lot of blood, and his face couldn’t help but turn much paler.
Compared to his usual harmless and fragile façade, Samuel Dalton now truly appeared fragile, as if he might shatter at a touch.
"Samuel, thank you..."
Selena Kensington felt deep guilt; if it weren’t for her, Samuel Dalton wouldn’t have to suffer this disaster.
Samuel Dalton shook his head, feeling a secret joy inside.
She was concerned about him.

Once they arrived at the Dalton estate, Selena Kensington, Samuel Dalton, and the stretcher-bound Mortir Dalton were surrounded by doctors arranged by the Dalton patriarch.
Selena Kensington and Samuel Dalton were fine, having received basic first aid in the car.
But Mortir Dalton had genuinely been shot.
Selena Kensington noticed not only the Dalton patriarch was present, but Sidney Dalton and Felicity Dalton were also there.
Selena Kensington looked at Felicity Dalton, nodding slightly to her.
Only then did she begin to appraise the Dalton patriarch.
The Head of the Dalton Family, Stanley Dalton.
A man in his fifties, still spirited but looked sowhat sorrowful at the mont.
"Miss Kensington, please sit."
Stanley Dalton sighed, offering Selena Kensington a seat on the sofa.
Selena Kensington sat down on the sofa.
She heard Stanley Dalton apologize to her, "Miss Kensington, I’m very sorry for the trouble my son has caused you. I apologize on behalf of my family."
Stanley Dalton seed to age considerably after saying this.
Selena Kensington was montarily stunned, then fell silent.
In his younger days, the Dalton patriarch was decisive and had a strong desire for control.
His wife was married through an alliance; the two treated each other courteously. She passed away after giving birth prematurely to Sidney Dalton.
Mortir Dalton was Stanley Dalton’s eldest son, always under his strict control.
No matter his current state, the past wrongs were difficult for him to deny.
Perhaps now that he is older, he has suddenly co to this realization.
But it’s already too late; his eldest son has been tornted beyond recognition.
Sidney Dalton, standing by, initially confused about what had happened, was surprised to discover, upon hearing Butler Dalton’s words after just returning, that his elder brother would do such a thing.
However, this suited Sidney Dalton perfectly.
This way, Mortir Dalton had even less standing with the Dalton patriarch.
Thus, wouldn’t it be easier for him to inherit the Dalton estate?!
In this sense, he should thank Selena Kensington.
Later, Mortir Dalton was sent into a room for treatnt, and the Dalton patriarch continued to speak with Selena Kensington, offering her many compensatory gifts and benefits.
As for Samuel Dalton, the patriarch was unsurprised by the gun he had, only advising him to be more restrained.
Samuel Dalton shrugged, completely disregarding the patriarch’s words.
