Dashing toward Ysabel as if she had gone mad, she pulled Ysabel into her embrace.
At the sound of the gunshot, Jennifer and the others ran downstairs, only to find Ysabel covered in blood.
“Capture him!” With a frosty expression, Donald waved his hand.
Although the man with a cap had disappeared, Bradley had been keeping an eye on the man, so he immediately started tracking the latter down.
Striding toward Ysabel, Donald started ringing Hannah's phone.
“Help! Call an ambulance right now!” Tears streamed down Beatrice's face as she scanned the surroundings hysterically.
“Ysabel!” When Jennifer noticed Ysabel's profuse bleeding, her eyes brimmed in tears.
The bullet had Ysabel's back, causing her to fall flat onto her back and suffer from an injury on the back of her head.
Members of the Stern family appeared one after another as they gathered around.
As Donald's gaze swept across the surroundings, he noticed Mason hiding among the crowd, watching the scene coldly.
Very soon, the ambulance arrived, and the paramedics carried Ysabel into the ambulance.
Just as Donald was about to follow the ambulance, Beatrice whirled around and pointed at him, fuming, “You're a jinx. This is all your fault. Things wouldn't have turned out this way if Ysabel didn't try chasing after you! If anything happens to Ysabel, I'll definitely not let you off the hook!” With bloodshot eyes, Jennifer also reprimanded, “Donald, you’re older than Ysabel by seven years. Why are you entangling with her?”
Linda chimed in, “I'm sure he's trying to live off her. Although Beatrice is merely a university lecturer, she earns a minimum annual salary of over two hundred thousand, which is much more than a jobless man like him has!”
“He's a jinx for sure,” Kevin supported. “Look at how my sister prospers right after getting a divorce from him!”
Lifting her head, Skylar gazed at the sky. “During a stormy weather, we must distance ourselves from this type of people, as we might get struck!”
Someone from the Stern family added, “It's all your fault!”
With a darkened expression, Donald remained silent.
