Chapter 639

The red-haired man dropped the cigarette butt to the ground, and the few men behind him pushed
Kennedy against the wall.

The food in his hands fell onto the ground while a few young men raised the bats in their hands to hit
Kennedy, avoiding his head and hitting his arms and legs.

Kennedy fell to the ground, blood coming out of the corner of his mouth. His arms were numb and
shaking, but he didn’t beg.

The red-haired man walked in front of him and stepped on his back to kick him toward the corner of the
wall, then stepped hard on his palm. “Old man, you can take some beating.”

He took the bat from the man behind him and pointed at his left arm. “Someone asked us to break your
arm. Don’t blame me, you’re the one who offended someone.”

He raised the bat high up.

A car suddenly stopped outside the alley. The car lights blinded them while the sharp sound of the honk
continuously echoed.

The few men were afraid that someone else was coming, spat on the floor, and quickly left.

Kennedy leaned against the wall with no energy in his arms. He could vaguely see a middle-aged
woman in a trenchcoat slowly approaching. “Sir, are you alright, sir?”

Maisie was awakened by her phone’s ringtone at 3:00 in the morning. She put out her hand to feel
around for it, squinted when looking at the screen, then picked u

The caller said something that made her lose all sleepiness, and she sat up, Which hospital?”



She pushed her blanket away and got out of bed.” Alright, I’ll be right over.”

Nolan turned on the light on the nightstand and sat up. “What’s going on?”

Maisie walked to the closet, got some clothes, and pulled down a coat. “Uncle Kennedy was attacked
and sent to the hospital. I’m going to see him there





Nolan immediately pushed the blanket away and got up. I’ll go with you.”

Maisie and Nolan got to the hospital. She rushed to the ward and pushed the door open.

In the room, Kennedy sat with his back against the headboard. His face had obvious bruises, and both
his arms were in plaster.

The middle-aged woman standing next to the bed turned around to look at them. She was the woman
who had driven Kennedy to the hospital, a kindlooking woman who was modestly dressed.

“Uncle Kennedy!” Maisie walked quickly to the bed, looking absolutely worried.

Kennedy smiled. “I’m fine, but I won’t be going to the office soon.” Maisie’s face dropped. “Who did this?”

Kennedy paused but didn’t speak. The middle-aged woman looked at her and said, “Just a few thugs. He
was lucky that I was passing by and saw it. If not, he might be even worse.”

Maisie said to her, “Thank you.”

“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it. I’m going to leave now that you’re here.” The woman smiled. From the
way she carried herself, they could tell that she was from an affluent family.



The woman left the room, but Nolan frowned while watching her walk away. He felt that he had seen her
somewhere before.

“Don’t worry about me, Zee. I’m fine.” Kennedy looked at Maisie, trying to make her relax.

However, Maisie couldn’t relax. She knew that

Kennedy wouldn’t have offended anyone, and people wouldn’t just randomly beat him up. “What are you
hiding from me, Uncle Kennedy?”

Kenndy looked down. He knew that Carol Baker wouldn’t just let this go. “Luckily, I was the one who was
beaten up, Zee.”

Luckily he was the one who was beaten up?

Maisie couldn’t help but think of something. “Is this because of Soul? Did the owner of Passion Jewelry
do this?”
