The South, Channing.
At the in-patient department of the First Hospital, Rupert Rothschild had just finished doing surgery on Linda Brown. The operation was a complete success.
Rupert had business to attend to, so he left the North as soon as he finished operating on Linda.
In the hospital room, Ronan Granger thanked Nathan Cross profusely.
Nathan hesitated before speaking softly, "Teacher, my men have found out some news concerning your daughter."
Ronan was delighted and surprised. He asked excitedly, "Really? Where is my daughter now?"
Nathan remained silent.
When Ronan saw Nathan's face, his expression froze abruptly as if he had realized something. He asked in a trembling voice, "What's wrong?”
"It's bad news," Nathan answered.
Ronan's entire body quivered as he thought about his and Linda's only daughter, Clair Granger.
His wife's operation was a success, but now there was bad news involving his daughter. He was overwhelmed by the intense mix of joy and sadness.
Even so, he was a soldier and had a willpower that was stronger than ordinary people.
He clenched his fist tightly and finally mustered the courage to speak, "Tell me. No matter how bad the news is, I need to know my daughter's condition."
"She's dead," Nathan's tone was soft and gentle, "She committed suicide by jumping off a building."
It turned out that Clair had joined a filming company in an attempt to become a star. However, the company didn't film anything and instead wanted her to keep their guests company.
She refused, but the company showed her the contract she signed and threatened her to compensate a large sum for breaching the contract if she didn't cooperate.
In the end, she and a few other stars were sent to a party hosted by a group of rich playboys.
They were subjected to torture and experienced hell because of this group of people. They had cigarette burns all over their bodies and every inch of them was violated.
