Chapter 324 Be Mentally Prepared

Brandon, on the other end, had already guessed how Candice was feeling.

He immediately said in a soothing voice, "Candy, I know you're very worried and anxious right now, so listen to me. First, go tell your family about this and prepare to go abroad."

"Caspian is overseas. I'll have people make arrangements there first to watch over him carefully and make sure nothing else dangerous happens to him. I've already arranged a private jet for you at the airport. When you get there, just call me directly, and I'll take you to see Caspian."

After all, if the Mortimer family got this news, they would probably panic, too.

Brandon's arrangements were very thorough.

Candice seemed to wake from a dream and immediately responded, "Okay, I understand."

Then she stumbled out of the room.

She had originally planned to knock on Gabriel and Ainsley's door, but at the critical moment, she worried that they would be terrified by the news.

Ainsley's health had been weak these past two years, and she was afraid she couldn't handle the shock.

Without hesitation, Candice turned around and rushed toward Finnegan's room.

Finnegan was still sleeping. When he was woken up to answer the door and saw it was Candice, he was quite surprised.

He asked drowsily, "Candy, what's wrong?"

Hearing Finnegan's voice, Candice's tears immediately started flowing.

When she started crying, it instantly scared away what little drowsiness Finnegan had left.

He immediately asked, "What's wrong? What happened? Tell me, don't cry."

"Finnegan, something happened to Caspian overseas."

Candice couldn't control herself. While wiping her eyes, she anxiously told Finnegan the news she had received.

Finnegan was much calmer than Candice. He made a quick decision and told her, "Don't tell Mom and Dad about this yet. I'll go overseas to check on Caspian and confirm the situation first."

Candice nodded and said urgently, "I'm going with you. I have good medical skills. If something really happens to Caspian, I can help."

Looking at Candice with her red-rimmed eyes, Finnegan couldn't bear to refuse her.

"Okay, we'll go together."

He wiped away her tears while comforting her, "Stop crying, it'll be fine. I'm here. Come on, let's go find Ulysses."

Then the two went to knock on Ulysses's door.

Ulysses wasn't awake yet either. His hair was sticking up messily, and when he came to open the door, his eyes were still closed.

"Who is it? Disturbing people's sleep so early in the morning, you'll never get a girlfriend..."

Before he could finish complaining, Finnegan pushed his shoulder and walked straight in.

"What's going on?"

Ulysses immediately became more alert. Seeing clearly that it was Finnegan and Candice, he looked confused and was about to ask something.

Then he heard Finnegan say, "Something happened to Caspian. Candy and I need to go overseas. After we leave, you need to find a way to stall Mom and Dad as much as possible, and stop them from finding out about Caspian's accident for now, understand? Don't slip up!"

Ulysses's sleepiness instantly vanished.

"Finnegan, is what you're saying really true? Caspian, he..."

Ulysses mumbled, unable to continue.

Finnegan nodded seriously, "It's true. After we leave, the family is in your hands. Don't go to the film set for now. Things at home might get chaotic!"

He patted Ulysses on the shoulder.

Ulysses still couldn't quite believe it, but he understood he had to take care of the family.

He nodded and answered seriously, "I understand."

After giving instructions, Candice and Finnegan hurried back to their rooms to prepare.

Half an hour later, the siblings left the Mortimer Mansion and headed straight to the airport.

When they arrived, Brandon and Knox were already waiting.

Finnegan was mentally prepared when he saw Brandon.

Because Candice had told him that it was Brandon who had tracked down Caspian's whereabouts.

At this moment, Finnegan was very calm, not bothering with past grievances, focused only on Caspian's condition.

He asked very politely, "Mr. Obelon, can you tell us about Caspian's specific situation? In detail, please."

Brandon hadn't told Candice much on the phone earlier because he was worried she would lose her composure.

Now seeing her appear with Finnegan, he stopped hiding things.

"Let's board first. We'll talk in a bit."

"Okay."

Finnegan nodded and walked forward with Candice.

After they got on the plane, Brandon finally told the siblings.

"You need to prepare yourselves. The doctors there sent word that Mr. Caspian Mortimer was seriously injured and had fallen into a coma. There's a strong possibility he'll become a vegetable and won't wake up."

At these words, Candice's face turned pale instantly, and her body swayed involuntarily.

"How could this happen?"

Finnegan's expression changed too.

He had always been calm and composed. No matter what happened, no matter how difficult a case he faced, he rarely frowned.

But now, his expression turned very bad in an instant, and his fists clenched tight.

"That's impossible. Caspian wouldn't!"

Brandon knew this news was hard for them to accept, and he was watching Candice's condition.

When her body swayed, he instinctively reached out to steady her.

Candice looked at him with reddened eyes, her voice choked as she asked, "How could this be? This can't be true. Caspian always brings people with him when he goes out."

Brandon felt sorry for her, but he couldn't bear to deceive her either. He said gravely, "My people checked. He was attacked while tracking that doctor. Someone sent assassins after him. Those killers are criminals from the underground world, ranked on the assassin list, with numerous crimes!

When Mr. Caspian Mortimer was attacked, his men fought desperately to protect him."

Candice's vision went dark, nearly fainting from fear, her hands and feet ice cold.

Especially hearing words like "assassins."

This was another world she had never been exposed to.

However, Finnegan was relatively calmer than Candice.

The Mortimer family was powerful, and he himself was a lawyer. He had more exposure to and understanding of these dark aspects.

A hint of menace appeared in his gentle eyes.

"I should have realized. Caspian went overseas to investigate this matter, and it hadn't been resolved after so many days. There must have been something fishy going on. But he didn't say much on the phone, so I didn't think too much about it.

Now it seems someone really didn't want Caspian to find out the truth, and even took this opportunity to try to eliminate him."

Candice's heart trembled, her mind in chaos.

She could no longer think calmly.

As the head of a major family himself, Brandon had already thought of the connections.

Seeing that Finnegan wasn't speaking, he told Candice, "If I'm not mistaken, the person who harmed him is very likely someone from within the Mortimer family.

The Mortimer family's power and influence are tempting. As long as they eliminate Mr. Caspian Mortimer, the person in power, your main family essentially loses its most important pillar.

Before, he was always in the country and rarely took such risks, so no matter how unwilling others were, they had no way to do anything to him.

Now that he's gone abroad and been seriously injured overseas, the Mortimer family's power structure has been disrupted. Next, certain people will probably take advantage of the chaos to make their move."
