In the distance, Kian Sterling stood by another warehouse. He lit a cigarette and watched the scene unfold.
"Boss, Chairman Norwood found her first," Evan Rhodes reported quietly beside him. "Miss Sterling is fine, but Second Young Master Sutton is seriously injured. Chairman Norwood crippled his arms and legs and dumped him in some unlicensed private clinic."
Kian Sterling's chiseled features were obscured in the backlight. "Mm."
Evan Rhodes continued, "You haven't seen her in so long, and you dropped everything to rush here from Port Sovereign just to see her. Who would've thought this would happen? Boss, should we go over now?"
Kian Sterling didn't answer.
He took a slow drag from his cigarette, watching as Silas Norwood led his men toward the hospital. Only then did he say faintly, "I was still one step behind him."
Evan Rhodes looked on, not quite understanding.
But Kian Sterling just started walking toward his convoy. "Let's go. To the hospital."
