Chapter 1596 Jared Was Injured in the Accident
Julian and Jessie had already embarked on their trip back to the country to attend the baby shower. Things were a little hectic for the new parents, especially considering the latest addition to the family. However, three days later, Anastasia and Elliot visited them. After all, Queenie needed a friend to talk to and relieve any postpartum anxiety she might have hidden in her heart.
Anastasia was akin to an older sister to Queenie. They talked about everything and anything that needed to be taken care of after childbirth. Anastasia’s company also had the intended effect of soothing Queenie, who was experiencing hormonal changes after her delivery, and kept Queenie in a good mood, so she could raise her child without worries.
The Silverstein Family and the Manson Family elders were more than delighted to welcome the new member into their families. The baby shower was held in a month, and they had a tacit understanding of making it as grand as possible.
Jessie was overjoyed to see her healthy nephew. She held him carefully in her arms most of the time and was reluctant to let him go. Julian attempted to do the same, but he felt as though his limbs weren’t listening to his brain. Because no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t manage to position his arms right to hold the baby. Nigel, who watched the scene unfold on the side the whole time, couldn’t help but step in and demonstrate the correct way to hold a baby himself.
“You need to learn. Maybe you’ll be doing the same in two years,” Nigel teased. Julian envied Nigel for that and was looking forward to the day when he got to marry Jessie. He proposed to Jessie when they traveled abroad, and she accepted. Thus, they returned to the country to discuss the wedding with their parents.
The elders of the Gilmore Family and the Silverstein Family worked together and chose a date in October, which was an auspicious day for the wedding.
Since Julian was a famous actor with a considerable fanbase, he kept the wedding small and secret. Nonetheless, some of the wedding photos he deigned to reveal remained the top trending topic on Twitter for a whole month.
Finally, the group heard from Eva and Louie and received another fantastic piece of news in November, which was the birth of their son. He was the designated heir of the Gilmore Family. Since then, Louie had gone all out to lavish his wife and son with love.
In the evening, the lights illuminated Averna, the most prosperous city in the East. The building of Presgrave Group stood high above the other city landmarks and attractions around it like a king. It made itself a magnificent view in the evening of the early winter.
Elliot had kept a low profile over the recent years. He decided to focus on his family and made them his number one priority, but his business empire was thriving under his governance.
To him and Anastasia, the family would always be his priority. His business and everything else would only come after, not before.
Someday during the early winter, Jared, the young master of the Presgrave Family, had just finished his usual fencing practice. He got ready to go home for dinner while a security team designated to escort him was waiting downstairs.
He got in the car and wore his earplugs out of habit before closing his eyes for a short nap.
Even though he was only ten years old, he had set his life goal, which was to inherit his father’s company in the future and protect his family.
Thus, he looked more mature and sophisticated compared to the children of his age. Perhaps his wish came true as his features began to reveal a hint of him gradually growing into a young adult despite being so young.
Alas, the danger was closing in from behind under the cover of the night.
A car without a license plate slowly approached them. A man poked his head out of the sunroof and aimed the rocket launcher in his hands at the convoy in front of him.
The enemies struck the convoy on the road without warning. The missile sent one of the three black cars in motion flipping over before the blast spread to the other two cars. The first car rolled down the road amidst the explosion before it crashed into a lamppost and stopped. The windows shattered due to the blast and revealed the passengers inside, but their fate remained unknown.
A few injured people swiftly got down from the two other black cars, which were affected by the blast, and shouted at each other, “The young master is still in there!”
“We need to save him!”
After that, the bodyguards rushed simultaneously toward the flipped black car and wrenched the door open with abandon. They found Jared in a state that blood smeared all over his face when they got him out of the passenger seats. They also managed to drag the bodyguard, who drove the car, out of the driver’s seat, but he had already passed away.
“Young master is breathing. We have to bring him to the hospital immediately.” One of the bodyguards barked the order at his companions before rushing toward the black car on the roadside. The other four surviving bodyguards didn’t waste any time carrying Jared to the car and making a break for the hospital.
Regardless, they hurriedly reported the situation to Elliot and Anastasia on the way to the hospital. After learning the bad news, she almost passed out in her husband’s arms. On the contrary, although Jared’s accident unnerved him, Elliot still forced himself to calm down before rushing to the hospital with his wife in tow.
