Chapter 260
At the time, two men of roughly the same height stood on opposite sides of the hospital ward door in the corridor.
Cameron, with his hands in his pockets, said in a calm voice, “You should stop thinking about Queena. Vincent is very protective of her. You probably won’t stand a chance.”
Hallet crossed his arms and looked at Cameron with disdain. “And you believe you stand a chance? What do you think will happen if Vincent discovers that the buddy he trusts is coveting his sister? Given Vincent’s overprotective nature, you’ll be in deep trouble.
Cameron took a deep breath. He glared at Hallet and remained silent. He had always regarded Queena as his sister, and he had no idea when his feelings for her had changed. When he realized it, it was too late to hold them back. He was just as worried as Vincent, especially after learning that she had fled the house the previous time. During that time, he was in constant contact with Liam, who informed him that she had been spending time with Hallet. Because of that, Cameron found it difficult to keep his cool when she returned. The two men stood in the corridor, lost in their own thoughts.
Meanwhile, the Taylor family was in disarray. James hadn’t slept since hearing the news the previous night. He had used all of his connections, but the police refused to cooperate. The people detained by the police at the club the day before were James‘ subordinates, key members of his gang who were privy to many of his secrets. If they were caught and revealed his secrets, his life would be over.
Felicia, like James, couldn’t sleep. First and foremost, it was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate her willingness to share the hardship with him, and second, she could obtain the most recent information to assist her in making decisions. After pouring water for James, she massaged him and consoled him, saying, James, things might not be over yet. There’s still hope.
James rubbed his temples tiredly and put out his cigaretic. The floor was littered with cigarette butts, and the room smelled of cigarettes. He leaned against Felicia’s soft chest and said hoarsely. If anything happens to me, take Roseanne and flee.”
When Felicia heard that, her eyes flickered. She immediately replied. “James, I’ll stay by your side.
James stared at the ceiling, his fingers tapping the couch. Stop acting sentimental. I know you well. As long as you can protect Roseanne, I’ll turn a blind eye to everything else. A recent DNA test revealed that Roseanne was his biological daughter. That was extremely good news for him, as he previously had no heirs. He had already paved the way for Roseanne, given the high–risk nature of his job, in which he could be killed or arrested at any time.
Felicia’s heart skipped a beat. It was clear that James didn’t trust her at all. As the pondered how to regain James trust, his phone rang.
After listening for a while, James suddenly smashed his phone on the ground, shattering it into pieces. “If they dare to cross me. I’ll kill them myself!
Felicia’s heart raced at the unexpected outburst. She leaned against the couch, too terrified to move, James had a tendency to hit people when he was furious, which was why she had left him before. It appeared that James was behaving as he had in the past. His gaze suddenly swept over to her, causing her heart to skip a beat and her body to quiver in fear
Fortunately, Roseanne woke up at that moment and came out of her room Seeing the scene, she immediately called out, “Dad.
James snapped out of his rage, calmed himself, and said in a gentle voice. “Rosie, you’re awake.”
Roseanne quickly went downstairs and held James sleeve as she sat beside him. “Dad, what happened?” she asked.
James didn’t hide the truth and thoroughly explained the situation to Roseanne. “But don’t be afraid, I’ve already thought of a way out for anything happens to me.”

Roseanne ignored the last part of his statement. When she learned that several prominent families, led by the Sullivan Group, were putting pressure on the police, she trembled with rage. “Why are these people making things difficult for me? I’ve just discovered my biological father and become the daughter of the underworld boss, and now they are attempting to ruin my father’s life. There’s no way I can tolerate this, she fumed internally, Roseanne clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with intense hatred. She would not let that happen. She thought about it for a moment before saying, with a sinister expression, “Dad, if those people can’t keep secrets, just kill them off.”
“That won’t work. They’re under heavy police guard now. My subordinates can’t get close.” James sighed deeply.
“What if we use their families to threaten them? Roseanne suggested.
James understood what she meant. “Do you mean make them end their own lives in prison?
Roseanne nodded,
“However, one of them had no family members, so this trick wouldn’t work on him,” James explained,
“That’s easy. We’ll first find the most loyal one among them and use his family’s lives to coerce him into taking out the others in prison before finishing himself off. Nonetheless, we must exercise caution when selecting this person. At that moment, Roseanne calmly discussed murder, her expression chillingly cold,

Hearing that, James stared at Roseanne for a long time, his expression inscrutable, Just as Roseanne was beginning to doubt her plan, James clapped his hands proudly. “As expected of my daughter! It appears I have a worthy successor. Then, he took out his phone and instructed his subordinates to follow Roseanne’s plan.
Seeing that, Roseanne gently patted her chest and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, in Regalian Garden, Liam had left for work early, and Cynthia had also gotten up early. She had intended to go to the hospital to check on Queena’s condition, but her route happened to pass by the Larson residence. Remembering that she had left in a hurry the previous time and had not packed some of her belongings, she decided to drive toward the Larson residence. A few minutes later, Cynthia parked her car, gently opened the gate, and entered the yard. The once–luxurious mansion now appeared desolate. The yard was overgrown with withered flowers and grass, covered in dust, and littered with trash. Cynthia took out her phone and called the cleaning service before heading straight to the attic, where they kept items that were rarely used. She wanted to check if any of her mother’s belongings remained
