How could the surgery be a success?
Damn it all!
Beatrice's face was twisted in sheer disappointment.
The nurse scoffed internally. Having a mother like this was worse than being an orphan.
It seemed the glamorous life of a superstar wasn't all it was cracked up to be.
If her own mother was this vile, she couldn't even imagine what the rest of her family was like.
She felt a deep pang of sympathy for Sienna.
Counting on these parents for care was a joke. The nurse seriously worried this woman might try to pull Sienna's oxygen tube while she was sleeping.
Thank God she had a fiercely protective manager.
"Well, it's a good thing the surgery was a success," Thomas Darwin quickly chimed in, covering for his wife's delayed reaction.
Beatrice finally snapped out of it. "Right, right, right! Thank goodness it was a success."
Despite forcing the words out, the Darwin family couldn't muster a single shred of genuine joy.
They trailed behind the medical team, attempting to barge right into the VIP ward.
But the moment they reached the door, Karla's security team physically blocked their path.
"You won't be going in."
Beatrice glanced at her husband, her expression darkening instantly. "Karla, you have absolutely no right to keep us out!"
"My daughter just had major surgery! She needs to be taken care of, and we are staying right here to do it!"
Karla let out a sharp, mocking laugh. "We don't need you. She has a personal assistant and professional nurses."
"If I let you take care of her, I doubt she'd survive the night!"
Beatrice was left momentarily speechless by the brutal accusation.
Refusing to admit to her sinister motives, she fired back, "I am her own flesh and blood! What could I possibly do to her?"
"She came from my own womb! I want what's best for her!"
Karla crossed her arms. "I doubt that. If she were completely paralyzed, you'd have her right where you want her, wouldn't you?"
Beatrice wanted to scream that Sienna was her biological daughter, so what if they controlled her?
Wasn't that infinitely better than letting an outsider handle her millions?
"We are her actual family..."
Unfortunately for Beatrice, her protests were completely useless. Sienna had already retained a top-tier lawyer before ever going under the knife.
She had legally transferred absolute authority over all her affairs to Karla.
More importantly, she had strictly barred her biological family from having any say in her medical care.
The power of attorney was ironclad; Karla was the only person authorized to sign her surgical consent forms.
The hospital administration was fully aware of the volatile situation and backed Sienna's legal directives one hundred percent.
So, no matter how much of a tantrum the Darwin family threw, they weren't getting anywhere near that hospital room.
In retaliation, they actually called the paparazzi, standing outside the ward and tearfully accusing Karla of denying them access to their sick
daughter Thun a tragic tale,
claiming Karla was a malicious predator trying to steal Sienna's fortune.
"Our daughter was never like this! Someone must have drugged her or brainwashed her!"
And that 'someone' was, without a doubt, Karla.
While Karla was incredibly powerful in the entertainment industry, she had also made her fair share of enemies.
The reporters were hungry for a scandal, eager to drag a titan like Karla through the mud.
Unfortunately for them, Karla was
ten steps ahead. She didn't just have the signed legal documents; she released a crystal clear Video statement to the press.
Sienna had recorded it right before going into the operating room.
It was specifically filmed to shut down the Darwin family's inevitable circus act.
The moment the video hit the internet, the court of public opinion completely obliterated their sob story.
The reporters were stunned by how meticulously Karla had prepared for this.
Those looking to destroy Karla's reputation were left bitterly disappointed, but their hands were tied.
The Darwin family, however, refused to go down without a fight.
While cursing Sienna in their heads for being a useless, money-draining daughter, they doubled down on playing the victims to force Karla's hand.
Hunter Darwin was brainless enough to charge straight at Karla, pointing an accusatory finger in her face "Who the hell do you think you
are?! Why wont you fet us see my sister?!"
