Zach and Loretta had been frightened and pale since the ordeal began. Zach removed the cloth gagging his mouth and snapped, “Oliver, let Wanda go right now. Forget about 50 billion. I’ll hand over all of my 500 billion.”
Oliver shot Zach a hostile look and retorted, “Why didn’t you offer that from the start? I’m a fugitive in Norvania now, and there’s no way I can inherit your wealth.”
Zach rose in fury and declared, “I’ll give you any amount of money you want. Just free everyone here.”

smile. “You don’t have the right to negotiate with me anymore,” Oliver said with a smug Your beloved granddaughter is in my grasp. So, you’ll follow my commands whether you like it or not.‘
Loretta clutched Zach’s arm with her trembling hand and whispered in panic, “Zach, please, be quiet. This heartless ingrate might harm you.”
“Get a laptop for this old geezer to transfer funds and keep a close watch on him. If he tries to alert the cops, eliminate him immediately,” Oliver instructed his men.
“Understood.”
Everyone present was terrified by Oliver’s threats. Without delay, two armed men forced Zach and Loretta into the study.
Meanwhile, Oliver reclined on the couch with his eyes locked on Mila. He gestured toward the study with a smile and remarked, “There are numerous explosives in there. If you wish to spare your grandparents from a horrific fate, you’d best comply and heed my instructions.” Mila collected herself. She recalled Oliver’s prominent status in the medical field. He had pursued medicine in Sunterland for numerous years and possessed exceptional expertise. With a calm expression, she softly addressed, “Uncle Oliver.”
Oliver was stunned. It had been ages since he heard her address him with such warmth. The unfamiliar sensation left him feeling a bit disoriented.

Phoebe and Sienna were confused. They couldn’t understand why Mila would allow a
notorious villain to treat Daniel’s illness.
Oliver’s gaze slowly shifted to Daniel. He had grown up with the Morrison brothers, as close as if they were siblings themselves.

Although he had gone astray and held bitterness toward Nathan because of Wanda, his brotherly connection with Daniel remained. Daniel’s current condition troubled him deeply as well.
After a moment of thought, Oliver approached Daniel and knelt beside him. He reached out to touch Daniel’s legs.
Worried that Oliver might harm Daniel, Sienna tried to intervene, but Mila stopped her before she could.
“But… he…” Sienna was concerned.
“He’s trustworthy when it comes to medical skills,” Mila whispered reassuringly.
Oliver conducted a thorough examination while Daniel remained impassive as he asked, “Your dream was to become a doctor. You once aimed to be a leader in the medical field. How did you end up like this?”
With a wistful smile, Oliver responded, “And what about you? You once aspired to be a significant figure serving the country and its people. How did you end up here?!!
Daniel fell silent, his expression heavy with sadness!
After finishing the examination, Oliver said, “I need to see his most recent X–rays and MRI scans.”
“We have them. They’re in the suitcase,” Sienna said before rushing to retrieve them. Oliver’s armed men trailed closely behind her.
What started as a hostage situation took an unexpected turn into a medical assessment.
Amidst the previous fear and tension of a dangerous scenario, everyone’s attention suddenly shifted to Daniel’s well–being.
