Chapter 312
Blood dripped to the ground from a long, gruesome gash on Sylvia's cheek, sending shivers down one's spine. Sylvia clenched her red lips, bearing excruciating pain in silence.Lucas licked his lips and remarked, "You're quite captivating, even with your lovely face nearly ruined. You remain composed!"He extended his tongue and ran it over the open wound. "The blood of beauty is sweet, but this isn't enough."With the dagger in hand, he caressed Sylvia's cheek, saying, "Vee, believe me, I truly love you." He made a second and then a third cut on her face.Eric was already outside the door. The boxer assumed defensive stances to block his attacks. Eric's eyes were ablaze with fury. All he cared about right now was Sylvia's safety, and he wanted to get to her side as soon as possible. He charged at the boxer, and the latter furrowed his brow deeply. Eric's attack was lightning-fast, and he closed the distance in the blink of an eye. The boxer could tell the attack was power

Suddenly, multiple police cars pulled up behind Eric, and more than a dozen officers emerged."Stop!" they yelled, pointing their guns at Eric. The latter had just landed another heavy punch on Lucas before raising his hands.A police officer cautiously checked Lucas' breathing and quickly shouted, "He's still breathing! We need medical help!"Hearing that Lucas was still alive, Eric kicked him again, and it took a dozen police officers working together to restrain him."Let me go! I'm going to kill him!" Eric roared.His anger wouldn't subside as long as Lucas lived."Take him away!" An officer handcuffed Eric, but it required four officers to escort him.Once in the police car, Eric buried his head in his hands and wept bitterly.-Meanwhile, at the Sonnex residence.Irvin had just finished dinner and was leisurely sipping tea that Brook had served him. He felt content and was about to encourage Keith to work harder on his relationship to find a daughter-in-law sooner. Then

When Eric saw Sylvia being wheeled out of the operating room, her head wrapped in bandages, tears filled his eyes once again.Even Henry couldn't hold back his own tears.They escorted Sylvia to her hospital room, and soon after, the police arrived to inquire about the incident.Sylvia's driver recounted the kidnapping, confirming it with the surveillance footage the police had obtained.The situation at the abandoned factory was chaotic. Over a dozen people, including Big Sis and some of her subordinates, had lost their lives. Lucas' group had also suffered casualties."How's Lucas?" Eric's voice quivered with anger. "Is he dead?""Lucas is in critical condition, undergoing treatment. He hasn't stabilized yet," someone replied."Where is he now?" Henry's words dripped with resentment. Sylvia was his beloved daughter, and Lucas had audaciously harmed her.The police officer knew Henry would seek revenge if he found out Lucas' location. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, bu

Eric clenched his fists tightly and asked, "Can't it be removed?"Brook sighed and shook his head."Damn it!" Eric's fist collided with the wall, shattering the tiles. His heart seethed with hatred and anger. He knew how much Sylvia cherished her appearance, and the thought of her discovering her ruined face was unbearable.As they conversed, Seraphine and Grace arrived, accompanied by a group of burly, rugged men who clearly possessed combat skills.Grace's expression darkened when she heard about Sylvia's condition from Eric."Who did this?" Her voice was devoid of emotion, surprising even Brook.Grace was not one to be underestimated—she could effortlessly dismantle a prominent family."Lucas did it!" Eric responded swiftly. "He's from the Pettersons in Dortmund City.""The Pettersons from Dortmund, huh?" Grace's voice turned icy. "I want all the information on them, including their business holdings, before dawn. Within a month, I want the Pettersons in Dortmund bankrupt an

Blood spurted and soaked Eric's clothes. His face displayed both anger and an unexpected sympathy.The summoned doctor was taken aback, unable to fathom why someone would intentionally scar their face. Wasn't this self-inflicted disfigurement?"You fool!" Sylvia cried, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.Eric smirked and retorted, "If you're afraid of looking ugly, I'll be ugly with you!"Those slashes had undeniably marred Eric's face.The doctor tried relentlessly to stop the bleeding, adorning Eric with numerous bandages. His appearance was not too different from Sylvia's, who was still in the process of healing.Grace sighed softly, withholding her words.While the doctor attended to Eric's wounds, Grace exited the ward. Her subordinate, tasked with gathering information about the Pettersons, had returned."Madam Montgomery, we have the information you requested."Upon receiving the information, she instructed, "Forward this to our headquarters in King City. Don'

Sometimes, Sylvia would stay quiet all day long.When nightmares struck, she would wake up and cry uncontrollably at night.Eric tried to console her, but it didn't help.After a few days, progress finally came in the case.Eric's car accident on the way was not accidental—it was a planned interception. Lucas' abduction of Sylvia was a terrible crime, and a lead began to emerge.From the crime scene, the police found Sylvia's DNA and Lucas' fingerprints on the dagger used to scar Sylvia's face. This provided strong evidence of Lucas' guilt. However, it didn't warrant the death penalty, which disappointed Eric.Despite their losses, the Pettersons weren't broke. Money could fix many problems. They paid off the fighters to avoid blaming Lucas or accusing him of being the instigator.Hence, the only charge the police could bring against Lucas was intentional harm. With the Pettersons' manipulation, Lucas might escape significant prison time. It was harsh, but it was the reality.-

Sylvia had actually expected the baby. This month, her period was late, and a strange feeling in her abdomen had risen when the Muay Thai fighter had struck her.Those sensations made her think she might be pregnant. Still, doubts lingered until Amelia unintentionally spoke before thinking.Amelia had no choice but to come clean to her daughter, knowing Sylvia would cry a lot. Keeping her in the dark was not an option. Sylvia would learn everything during her hospital check-up.Sylvia couldn't hold back the tears. Even though she had anticipated it, the news saddened her greatly."Why did you have to tell her, Amelia?" Henry's voice seethed with anger. "You're making Vee cry!"Amelia covered her mouth, feeling helpless. She hadn't meant for this to happen.Eric rushed over to comfort Sylvia, and her sobbing gradually subsided.For the Williams family, this was a disaster.They understood that resolving the issue wouldn't be quick, as Lucas was out on bail and had returned to

When legal means failed to deliver justice, he took matters into his own hands to ensure it. What Eric aimed to do now might not be precisely about seeking or upholding justice, but it was close.Two weeks had passed, and Lucas had yet to face the consequences of his actions.Eric's tone changed as he wore the mask. "Mr. Kirkby, how would you react if someone abruptly woke you from a dream?""I'd be furious," Tiger replied. "In my younger days, with my hot temper, I'd probably have fought anyone disturbing my dreams."Eric nodded. "Exactly. Sylvia is my dream, and the one who shattered it is Lucas!"Tiger understood and said, "In Dortmund City, there's a gang leader named Roland Draco. I occasionally crossed paths with him during our underground fighting days. Maybe we can use him to get to the Pettersons. However, the Pettersons support him, so..."Gang leaders had their territories and rarely crossed boundaries. People like Tiger and Roland had to inform each other if they need
