Chapter 2136

Chapter 2136Chapter 2136 Waylon squinted and nodded after a while. “I’ll remind her to be more careful.” The next
day, Joaqin learned that Florence had died in an accident, and his face turned pale instantly.
He was stunned on the bed and was unable to speak for a long time.
Sunny patted him on the shoulder. “My condolences.”
Joaqin could not hide his grief, and his expression looked gloomy. “I didn‘t expect my connivance would
kill my daughter eventually.”
‘If I were to be able to find out about Manuel‘s ambition sooner, I‘d definitely drive him away at all costs.‘
Unfortunately, no one in the world would be blessed with so many “ifs” in their lives.
Mateo appeared outside the ward at this time. “Boss.”
He took a glance at Sunny, walked into the ward, and knelt beside the hospital bed all of a sudden.
Joaqin wanted to get out of bed to support him, but his legs were still not fully recovered, so getting out
of bed was simply out of the question. “What are you doing?”
“Boss, I‘m to blame for this incident. I didn‘t keep a closer eye on the young lady, so please punish me.”
Mateo would not get up from the floor.
If it were not for his negligence, Manuel would not have been able to take Florence away at all.
He had not realized what had happened until he found out that Florence was missing–that was when he
took someone and chased after her, but it was already too late.
Joaqin took a deep breath. “It‘s not your fault. Now, get up.”
Mateo gnashed his teeth and stood up. “Boss, I‘ve told all our brothers about this incident, and they
claimed that they‘re still willing to stay with you and work for you. So from now on, I‘m willing to lead The
Serpents and listen to the Southern Clan and your orders.”
Joaqin did not expect Mateo would still be willing to work under him—the trust that he had had in him
over the years did not go down the drain. He smiled. “I‘m relieved to hear such a statement from you.”
He then looked at Sunny. “Mr. Southern Sr., you‘re the one who saved my life. I‘m sorry to have offended
you on so many occasions in the past. If I hadn‘t been so obsessed with things back then, how would I
have neglected the management of The Serpents?”
Sunny responded, “The past has already passed. It‘s now time for us to come together and face our
mutual enemy as one. The most important thing for us right now is to get rid of Donald first.”
Now that Manuel was dead, it was time for Donald to make a move.
On the other side of the island, at the Rain Hotel... Donald held a photo that had Neal Beck on it in his hand. His eyes looked dimmed and stern. Although
the person in the photo was wearing a mask and was secretly photographed from a
distance, he could not help but feel that this person looked familiar. Chunky walked into the room with a
cup of coffee and placed it on the table. “Sir, Fabio has already started secretly investigating the people
working for him. You will be regarded as the biggest contributor if there‘s truly a spy.”
Donald put the photo aside. “I was originally going to help Manuel get to this position so that I could
control him secretly and get him to obtain Fabio‘s help on my behalf. Unfortunately, somebody just had to
ruin my plan.”
Chunky looked at the person in the photo. “Do you need me to get rid of him?”
“There‘s no need to do so.” Donald raised his gaze and said sullenly, “If this person is Nollace Knowles,
I‘ll deal with him personally.”
He got up, walked to the window, and looked out the window. “Just send someone out there to keep an
eye on The Commune.”
Chunky nodded. “Yes, sir.”
He turned around and walked out of the study.
Donald‘s expression looked gloomy and ruthless. “Nollace Knowles, you can only die in my hands.”
After Mateo returned from the hospital, he evacuated the members of The Serpents from Fabio‘s
territory, during which he had to go against some of Fabio‘s men.
When Fabio learned about this matter, he slammed the teacup on the table, and the teacup shattered in
his hands. The scene was so astonishing that no one else dared to say a word. Buchanon trembled and said cautiously, “Mr. Puzo, I heard that Mateo Parrera is extremely loyal to
Joagin Serrano. We used to have Manuel and Ms. Serrano, but as soon as the two of them died, the first
thing that Mateo did was to bring his men back to the Southern Clan‘s territory. The Southern Clan must
have instigated this decision.”
