Chapter 871
They were in such a rush to see Dailey that they hadn't even had a chance to talk.
"Was it Dailey who took Serena away?"
Gregory nodded. "He said he would handle it personally, so it should have been him."
"If dealing with the Sinclair family is inconvenient for you, | can handle it."
Just as Normand was about to respond, the Sinclairs arrived at the hospital room, visibly angry.
"Normand, we've known each other for years. Even if our families can't unite through marriage, don't harm my
daughter."
He tapped his phone and held it out to Normand. On the screen was a picture of Serena, tied up.
Normand frowned. Dailey was still unconscious, so who sent this picture?
Quinn entered the room, providing an answer to his unspoken question. He leaned in and said to Gregory, "It was
the Warrens who took her."

The Warrens were the greatest rivals of the Clarkson family. They had long harbored enmity, and the recent
incident in River City nearly cost Christine her life, orchestrated by a staunch ally of the Warrens. Reflecting on it
now, it was clear the Warrens had been making moves for a while.
"There's no rush," Gregory said nonchalantly, dismissing their concerns. "We'll wait until Dailey wakes up."
The Sinclairs were frantic. "The Warrens are ruthless and inhumane. If we wait until Dailey wakes up, my
daughter may not survive!"
Gregory smiled, but his brown eyes were cold. "When people make mistakes, they must face the consequences."
"What mistake did my daughter make? As Dailey's fiancée, isn't it her right to deal with those mistresses? Should
she let them walk all over her?" the Sinclairs retorted angrily.
Gregory chuckled. "You make murder sound so... justifiable."
Before they could argue further, Gregory's voice turned icy. "Christine didn't
provoke Serena. What right does Serena have to threaten her life? And as for the engagement, did Dailey ever
agree to it?"
The Sinclairs were taken aback,
realizing they were up against Gregory's sharp tongue. They turned to Normand for support. "Normand, wasn't
this engagement agreed upon by our families?"
"Who said that?" ca slightly hoarse voice.
Everyone turned to see Dailey sitting up. "Would you like swater?" Jayne asked.
Dailey shook his head. "Mom, please raise the bed."
Jayne adjusted the bed, and Dailey looked directly at the Sinclairs. Despite his weakened state, his eyes were as
sharp and cold as ever.
The Sinclairs quickly defended themselves, "Didn't you two go out on dates and spend ttogether at the café?
You never objected when the marriage was proposed."
"And that justifies trying to kill Christine?"
The Sinclairs hesitated. "There must be smistake. My daughter Lingxue would never do something so cruel."
"She only wanted to leave. Lingxue's intentions were good."
Dailey wasn't buying their transparent lies. "The Warrens are our enemies. We won't risk ourselves to save your
daughter. You'll have to find another way."
The Sinclairs were desperate. The Warrens were not to be trifled with, and without
the Clarkson family's help, Serena was in grave danger.
Before they could plead further, Dailey ordered, "Quinn, see them out."
Quinn obliged, escorting the Sinclairs from the room.
Dailey turned to his family. "Do you want to handle the Sinclair situation, or should
i
The Clarkson family knew once
Dailey made a decision, he couldn't be swayed. But publicly feuding with the Sinclairs was undesirable. Jayne
suggested, "You're still recovering. Let Greg take care of it. He offered to help earlier."
Gregory raised an eyebrow. Fine. The Clarkson family couldn't afford a public fallout, so he would play the villain.
It didn't bother him; he was used to it. If not for wanting to set a good example for his daughter and wife, he
wouldn't have bothered to ask and would have resolved it long ago.
"Greg," Lucius rushed in, whispering urgently to Gregory, "Nelly slipped away in the chaos and has already left
the country. Someone's helping her."
