Chapter 329

Isabella was still at work when Michael suddenly called her home.

"Hey babe, what's up? Why'd you call me back so fast?" Isabella asked, a bit worried when she saw Michael.

But Michael just grinned and hugged her, which made Isabella feel better, knowing it wasn't anything serious.

"Geez, you scared me. I thought something bad happened," Isabella said, playfully hitting Michael's chest.

Holding her hand and looking into her eyes, Michael smiled and said, "Babe, I've got some good news and some bad news. Which one do you wanna hear first?"

"You jerk, why are you always playing these games? Just spill it," Isabella said, rolling her eyes.

Michael shrugged and said, "Your dad got shot overseas and almost died."

Isabella blinked and asked, "So, what's the bad news then?"

Michael was taken aback by her response.

"Didn't see that coming, babe. I thought that was already the bad news," Michael said, shaking his head with a wry smile.

Isabella pushed Michael away and plopped down on the sofa. "If you think that's bad news, then hit me with the good news. I'm ready, see, I'm sitting so I won't faint from excitement."

Walking behind the sofa, Michael smiled at Isabella and said, "Your dad's coming home soon. And those cars made of solid gold are on their way. They should be here in about two days."

Isabella's eyes widened as her shock turned to excitement. She jumped up and clung to Michael.

"Babe, you said you wouldn't get excited," Michael teased, looking at Isabella.

Looking at Michael, Isabella wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist.

"I can't believe it! This is amazing! I-I don't even know what to say, I'm just so happy! This means I can clear the debts and become the sole owner of the company!" Isabella kissed Michael excitedly.

Her kiss was so intense that it left a red mark on Michael's face.

"Babe, it's time for Benjamin to start moving too," Michael whispered in her ear.

Isabella nodded. "Got it, I'll call him now."

Isabella jumped off Michael and went to call Benjamin, instructing him to arrest all the doctors bribed by Bianca and to interrogate them.

Upon receiving the message, Benjamin immediately got to work.

Meanwhile, John was fuming. He got news that Peter, the guy he sent to find Jasper, was dead, leaving behind only a charred body. Half of the men he sent didn't make it back alive.

"Damn those three families!" John almost crushed his phone in anger.

When Bianca came back with a plate of fruit and saw John's angry expression, she hurried over to comfort him.

"What's wrong, babe? What happened? Are those people after you again?" Bianca asked, worried.

John took a deep breath, gently holding Bianca's hand, and sighed, "According to the reports, there was a clash between those three families and my guys, which led to an explosion. Lots of casualties on both sides. And the worst part, Jasper's dead."

John didn't know that the remaining people of the three families were trying to identify Jasper's body among the wreckage.

It was a huge task because there were so many shattered bodies at the scene that needed to be collected piece by piece. With Peter gone, his team members figured they didn't have enough people to investigate the scene, so they figured Jasper was probably dead.

Bianca hugged John tightly, comforting him softly, "It's okay, babe. Looks like my uncle's fate is sealed. We won't be able to recover the debts."

Bianca sighed, but John smiled gently at her.

"Babe, don't be so down. The lost debts in the company will be recovered eventually. With Jasper gone, the three families wouldn't keep up their economic pressure on me. I'll have enough money to help you clear the debts," John said, smiling gently.

Bianca hugged John and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks, babe. When I become the CEO of the company, I'll do everything I can to help you."

John smiled, caressed Bianca's face, and they embraced, enjoying a moment of closeness.

As for John's bet with Mason, he couldn't use their money to cover the debts, but John didn't care about that at all.

After all, John had already sent people to find Jasper, and he could just claim that the money was transferred by Jasper before he died.

It was just a matter of going through a few more steps to prove that the money wasn't his, which wasn't hard for him. The reason he hadn't done it before was just to beat Mason fair and square, but now he didn't care about that anymore.

Meanwhile, Bianca was dreaming about stepping on Isabella with John's help.

But little did Bianca know, on the other side, Benjamin had already arrested all the doctors and nurses who had treated her before.

In an empty room, the medical staff stood trembling, looking fearfully at Benjamin.

Although Benjamin's family wasn't as prominent as the four major families, they held absolute authority in the medical field.

For these medical staff, in some ways, Benjamin's words were even scarier than those of the four major families.

"Alright, everyone, I hope you tell the truth. What did Bianca offer you to help her like this?" Benjamin's calm words sent shivers down their spines.
