The crowd of onlookers threw mineral water bottles at us.

"It's a thief!"

"This kind of person should be disqualified!"

"You deserved to be electrocuted. Why didn't you die?"

At this time, Isabella's cell phone rang.

She picked up the phone impatiently, and her voice instantly became gentle: "Ethan~"

"My son and I are fine. We just met a crazy woman. Her son stole the robot you designed for Aaron..."

There was a sound of something being knocked over on the other end of the line, and Ethan seemed to say something that made Isabella scream.

"Wrong one? Impossible!"

Her expression became increasingly ugly, and finally she hung the phone and stared at me with resentment.

"Bitch! You're really good at this! You even tricked Ethan into speaking for you and your son! And you even asked me to take you to the hospital!"

I forced a bloodthirsty smile, "Because he doesn't dare to offend me, his legal wife, for a mistress like you. Isabella, your good days are over!"

She was instantly irritated by me.

"How dare you talk nonsense, you bitch! Beat her! Beat her until she shuts up!"

The bodyguard's punches and kicks came like a rainstorm, and I coughed up blood while protecting my son.

"You'd better do what he says, or I'll let you die together!"

Isabella was completely enraged by me and snatched the electric baton from the bodyguard's hand: "How dare you, bitch!"

"Ding ding!" My unstable heart rate triggered the micro alarm in my watch. My subordinates anxiously asked me what happened and why the phone couldn't be reached.

"Adrian, send a medical helicopter to the competition site immediately! Find out who tampered with my son's robot!"

"Also, tell Ethan to come see me right now!"

"Understood, Ms. Sterling, Mr. Blackwood's location shows that he is on his way, and the medical helicopter will arrive in three minutes!"

The scene suddenly fell silent, and then erupted into huge laughter.

"Did I hear correctly? This woman is not pretending to be the Iron Queen of Finance Ms. Sterling!"

"She has been overseas for many years. How could she come to a place like this wearing cheap clothes?"

"It's so funny. There's even a medical helicopter. Hahahaha..."

Isabella laughed so hard that she couldn't even hold the electric baton anymore, and looked at me with sneer in her eyes.

"You must be crazy. Ethan just said he couldn't come to the competition for a while. How could he be on the road?"

"You bitch, you're trying to trick me with your pretense? I won't be fooled!"

She picked up the electric baton again and moved closer to me, "You're lying all the time. It's time for you to get shocked!"

Before the electric baton could fall, the door to the venue was violently broken open with a bang.

Twelve bodyguards in black filed in, led by Adrian, who came straight towards us with a fully armed medical team.

“Get out of the way!”

He kicked the bodyguard who blocked his way away, and Isabella screamed in anger:

"Who are you? How dare you hit someone from our Blackwood family!"

Adrian slapped her to the ground with a backhand slap.

"If you dare to touch our Ms. Sterling, the entire Blackwood family will be doomed!"

The doctors quickly surrounded my son and began to diagnose him.

"Third degree burns. I need surgery immediately to save my hands!"

Isabella stood up and stood in front of the medical team, "Let's see who dares to operate on this bastard!"

Adrian stepped forward with a fierce look in his eyes, "Get out of here if you don't want to die!"

At this moment, a cold voice came from the door:

"Who dares to touch my woman!"

Ethan appeared at the door in a neat suit, and Isabella burst into tears and threw herself into his arms.

"Ethan, this crazy woman actually dared to ask someone to beat me up!"

When Ethan looked at me, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he said unhappily:

"Why did you come back so suddenly? And you didn't even tell me in advance."

I pointed at my son who was dying on the stretcher with a sneer, "If I hadn't come back suddenly, my son wouldn't even know he was being bullied to death by the mistress and her son!"

Isabella said to him with tears in her eyes, "This bitch keeps calling me a mistress. She just threatened to make us die together and said that she told you to get lost. Ethan, is that true?"

A dark flash appeared in Ethan's eyes.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. I came here because I was worried about you and Aaron."

He patted Isabella's back soothingly and pulled me aside with disgust on his face.

"You secretly came back and instruct your son to perform this self-torture trick just to humiliate me and Isabella in public?"

He lowered his voice and said sarcastically, "Chloe, you haven't been back for five years, so it's normal for me to have a woman outside! You should be grateful for my contribution to the group over the years instead of showing off your big sister's temper here!"

I was so angry that I was shaking all over. “So you just let the mistress and her son bully Noah, your own son?!”

He grabbed my wrist and seemed to want to crush my bones.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back! Do you want everyone to know that Isabella is the third party?"

I shook him off violently: "What, you dare not admit it?"

He looked at Adrian who was holding Noah, and said maliciously:

"I was just wondering, you refused to let your son take my last name, and you always brought this pretty boy with you to the streets. Could it be that Noah is your and his bastard?"

These words stabbed my heart like a knife.

"Ethan, how dare you!"

I raised my hand and slapped him hard, and his expression became even gloomier.

"If you want to make Noah's condition worse, try it!"

I knew very well that if I exposed Isabella and her son now, he would maliciously slander Noah's identity.

My poor Noah will be devastated since he adores and loves his dad so much!

He is now in a critical condition and must not suffer any more blows!

Seeing that I was relaxed, his voice softened a bit: "When things calm down, I will compensate Noah and make him a new robot."

"Compensation?" I laughed in anger. "What compensation are you going to give me? My money?"

"Ethan, stop disgusting me and get a divorce. Take your mistress and illegitimate child and get out of Blackwood Enterprises!"

Ethan raged behind me:

"Don't be ungrateful! Do you think the Blackwood family is still yours? All the executives of the group have been mine over the years! If you dare to divorce, don't even think about getting a dime!"

I didn't look back and got into the ambulance.

The moment the car door closed, I finally couldn't hold on and collapsed into the seat.

"Ms. Sterling..." Adrian hesitated.

"Go find Liam." I took a deep breath.

Half an hour later, Liam appeared in the hospital corridor, trembling with tears in his eyes.

"Miss, you are finally back!"

I only found out from his intermittent narration.

It turned out that during the years when I was developing overseas markets, Ethan gradually eroded the real power of the Blackwood family on the grounds of joint property of the couple.

In the name of optimizing management, he gradually marginalized the old ministers left by his father.

Liam, as the vice chairman of the group, was forcibly sent to a nursing home deep in the mountains with no signal by Ethan due to health reasons!

"Liam, if that's the case, then there's no way we can get the Blackwood family back?"

At this moment, I deeply regretted giving the position of the head of the Blackwood family to that despicable man Ethan.

As if knowing what I was thinking, Ethan called me.

"Chloe, do you think taking that old man Liam away will help you? Don't dream!"
