Chapter 381 Eyes but No Pearls, Went to the Wrong Place
Garth didn't care at all.
He led his group of people, acting all arrogant and aggressive, directly pushing Isabella aside as they got into the elevator and headed straight for Kennedy's hospital room.
Garth watched the elevator floors going up, his eyes cold and fierce.
Today he was determined to beat Kennedy until she handed over those shares.
The elevator doors opened, and Garth immediately strode out, showing the attitude of someone ready to kill.
"Garth, there are people at the hospital room door."
One of Garth's men looked ahead.
There really were people guarding the hospital room door, and quite a few of them - definitely more than ten.
Garth didn't even bother to look at them, directly saying: "Anyone who dares to stop me, take them down."
With that order, Garth's men immediately rushed forward with fierce expressions on their faces.
Dorian saw the people coming from down the hallway and could tell right away they meant trouble. He immediately ordered: "Everyone hold your positions! Don't let anyone enter the hospital room!"
"Yes!"
"Garth said! Anyone who dares to block us, take them down directly!"
Garth's men saw someone trying to stop them and didn't hold back, immediately starting to fight.
The two groups quickly clashed together.
The entire hallway became chaotic.
Dorian's men naturally had the upper hand, but he didn't expect these people to be so vicious, daring to force their way through even when facing the Powell Family Army.
Dorian pinned one of them against the wall, saying in a deep voice: "Do you guys have a death wish? You dare to attack the Powell family's army - do you know the consequences of doing this?"
When the pinned man heard "Powell Family Army," his movements paused slightly.
Looking at the uniforms they were wearing, they did indeed look like military uniforms, with a phoenix emblem on the upper right corner.
The man's face immediately changed, and he completely froze.
What was going on?
This was the Powell family's army?
"Stop! Everyone stop!" the man shouted. "This is the Powell Family Army, stop fighting, everyone stop!"
Hearing this, Garth's men all changed their expressions and stopped.
When they clearly saw the subtle phoenix emblem on the uniforms, they immediately gasped, their minds going blank for a moment.
"Powell Family Army?"
But Garth laughed.
How could the Powell Family Army possibly come here? Just to protect Kennedy and Calista?
Did they really think he'd believe them just because they sewed a badge on their clothes?
Garth immediately thought this was a trick Kennedy and Calista were using to fool him!
Two women kicked out of their family with nowhere to turn - the only way they could think of to protect themselves was probably to hire people to pretend to be the Powell family's army, trying to intimidate him.
That girl from earlier was probably hired by them to act too, just to make this show more convincing, to make him think they really had gotten the Powell family's army to protect them.
What could he say?
Kennedy was really stupid!
Did Kennedy really think he'd believe this? Was the Powell family's army that easy to mobilize?
All these people, just to guard Kennedy and Calista? Why would they?
"Fake!" Garth said coldly. "Keep fighting! Beat them to death!"
Hearing Garth say this, the Hope family guards started fighting with Dorian and the others again, even more intensely than before.
Garth rushed forward, grabbed one of the Powell Family Army members by the clothes, and slammed him hard to the ground.
Seeing this, Dorian's eyes darkened, and he raised his hand, releasing a powerful wave of energy.
Garth felt an extremely strong internal force and his face immediately changed.
He looked at Dorian and frowned.
Who was this person? His abilities were pretty high - even if Kennedy was hiring people to act, could she really find someone this skilled?
While Garth was still thinking, a wave of energy swept toward him, hitting his chest hard. Garth flew back dozens of feet and fell heavily to his knees.
Dorian came before Garth, his cold eyes staring at him. "Do you know what you're doing? Attacking Powell Family Army members without reason - can you handle Ms. Powell's questioning? Now! Make your people stop immediately!"
That hit made Garth's chest and lungs hurt, and he finally realized - this wasn't fake!
It really was the Powell family's army!
Garth's face immediately turned pale.
Why would the Powell family's army personally come to protect Kennedy and Calista?
What was going on?
"Stop, everyone stop!" Garth shouted.
Only then did everyone stop.
Garth looked at Dorian, his mind in a daze, his voice lacking confidence. "You... why are you..."
"We're under orders to guard this hospital room." Dorian's face was cold and stern. "No one is allowed to approach. Leave now!"
Hearing this, Garth didn't dare say more.
He scrambled up from the ground in embarrassment. "I was blind, I went to the wrong place, I'll leave right now, immediately..."
Garth didn't dare stay even one more minute and limped toward the elevator.
The others quickly followed.
In the elevator, Garth's head was still a bit foggy.
He couldn't understand why Kennedy would be connected to the Powell family. How did Kennedy convince the Powell family's army to protect them? Right now he just wanted to question Kennedy harshly, but he had no way to do it. He couldn't possibly break into that hospital room, and even if he did, it would probably cost the entire Hope family.
The more Garth thought about it, the worse his expression became.
Coming out of the elevator into the lobby, Garth saw that Isabella was still in the hospital lobby.
Isabella was waiting here for no other reason - she naturally had to see Garth get kicked out with her own eyes to feel at ease.
Now seeing Garth and his men indeed come out looking completely disheveled, she smiled slightly and was about to leave.
"You stop right there!" Garth thought about what Isabella had said to him earlier and couldn't help but think more about it. He quickened his pace and rushed toward Isabella. "Who exactly are you? And what's your relationship with the Powell family?"
"Who I am - what does that have to do with you? What my relationship with the Powell family is - what does that have to do with you?"
Garth was speechless.
Isabella gave him a cold glance and warned: "Stay away from Kennedy and Calista. This is my final warning to you."
Garth heard Isabella's arrogant tone and felt unhappy, but thinking that Isabella might be connected to the Powell family, he didn't dare say much.
After returning home, Garth immediately sent people to investigate Isabella.
But all he could find out was that Isabella was a new student at Radiant University. Beyond that, he couldn't find any other information.
"Garth, do we still want those shares?"
Garth's face darkened, and he angrily kicked the person to the ground. "How do we get them? You tell me? You go offend the Powell family and snatch the shares from Kennedy?"
He really didn't expect that Kennedy, that useless woman, could actually find herself such a powerful backer.
"Go get Theodosia and Orville over here!" Garth said with a dark expression.
"Yes."
Soon after, Theodosia and Orville came before Garth. "Dad, you wanted to see us?"
"Is there someone named Isabella at Radiant University?" Garth looked at them and asked.
