Coralie Hughes rushed over to grab Sumr Monroe’s hair, wanting to smash her head directly against the wall.
However, before her hand could touch Sumr, Sumr reacted first, grabbed Coralie’s hand, and flipped her into a hold, pressing her knee on Coralie’s back.
With a "thud," Coralie fell heavily to her knees on the ground.
"Ah—" Coralie cried out in pain, then cursed, "You murderer dare to lay a hand on ! Let go of ! Help!!"
The bodyguards didn’t even see Sumr move, they just saw Coralie restrained, kneeling on the floor.
They finally reacted and quickly rushed forward to restrain Sumr.
Others started cursing too, "I can’t believe I trusted her, turns out she’s a vicious woman! Beat her! Beat her to death!"
In the next instant, a voice rang out, "Everyone, stop!"
It was an extrely weak voice, but the source of the sound stopped everyone’s actions, and they incredulously turned toward it—
The initially motionless Evan Hughes, lying in a pool of blood, sohow had opened his eyes, and was supporting himself to sit up.
Coralie was instantly stunned, exclaiming in shock, "...Dad?"
After losing so much blood, Dad’s not dead, and he’s actually awake?
What in the world is going on?
Sumr looked at Evan Hughes, relieved, and then released her hold on Coralie’s hands and feet.
Regaining her freedom, Coralie rushed toward Evan Hughes, crying out, "Dad! Dad, are you okay?"
"What? Do you hope sothing happened to ?"
Evan Hughes looked coldly at Coralie, the previous gentleness and affection gone from his eyes.
No one is unafraid of death.
When Evan Hughes was groggy, not fully awake, his consciousness had actually returned.
He heard every noise just now.
If it wasn’t for Mrs. Chambers blocking the door in ti, Coralie would have barged in to stop the young lady from saving him.
At that ti, being able to wake up like now was an unknown.
So looking at Coralie again, his usual indulgence was naturally gone.
Coralie felt a chill down her spine from Evan Hughes’ cold gaze, as if he saw through her heart.
She gulped nervously and asked, "Dad, why are you looking at like that?"
Evan Hughes said coldly, "If you had co in a bit earlier, I really would be headed to the afterlife! This young lady saved my life, yet you call her a murderer. How did I raise a daughter like you?!"
Though Coralie sensed that Sumr might have saved Evan, hearing Evan say it so straightforwardly, her mind still went blank.
Sumr saved Dad, becoming the family’s benefactor, so what does that make her...?
Hearing Evan Hughes say Sumr saved him, everyone was filled with wonder.
"That much bloodletting was to treat him? I’ve never heard of such a thod!"
"A miracle doctor! She’s a miracle doctor!"
"I wonder whose daughter she is, my son’s still single, you know."
"What a coincidence! My son is single too, and a good-looking one at that!"
The crowd started murmuring, even suggesting their sons for a match with Sumr.
Sumr ignored their flattering, walked forward and asked, "Uncle Hughes, how are you feeling now?"
As soon as Evan Hughes saw Sumr, he pushed Coralie aside and beckoned Sumr to co closer.
