---
The hospital hallways were eerily quiet, still carrying the sterile scent of antiseptic and the heavy weight of a life-saving operation that had only just ended. Stefan lay recovering in his ward, his mother Francine standing guard like a general protecting her most precious territory. But that fragile peace was shattered the moment a bodyguard knocked on the door, his face pale with urgency.
"Madam, please come out for a while. We need your help to handle something."
Francine narrowed her eyes, her instincts flaring. She turned to her son, softening her expression only for a moment. "Rest well, Stef. I'll go and see what the uproar is about."
As she stepped into the corridor, the bodyguard’s whispered report was grim: The Murphy family had dispatched a small army to the hospital. They were forcing their way up, demanding an explanation regarding Ms. Seraphina. Francine’s face darkened. The Murphys. Of course. Without hesitation, she made her way downstairs—and the scene that greeted her was nothing short of chaos.
The hospital lobby had been transformed into a battlefield. A large crowd of men in dark suits surrounded the terrified medical staff, their voices raised in angry accusations. Patients cowered in corners, peeking out from behind pillars, too frightened to flee. At the center of it all stood Ethan Murphy, Seraphina’s father, radiating entitled fury.
The moment Ethan caught sight of Francine, something shifted. His anger retreated just enough for him to flash a polished smile. He stepped out of the crowd and called out, "You're finally here! I was just about to force my way in."
Francine did not smile back. Despite her outward calm, her voice cut through the air like a blade. "Your temper is a bit much, Ethan. My son's surgery just ended, and you brought so many people over to see him. Isn't that going overboard?"
She was still smiling, but everyone present could feel the menace that dripped from every word. Years ago, Francine had been one of the Four Princesses of Beach City, and her family background alone was enough to make lesser men tremble. Ethan, for all his current power, was still beneath her in standing. Times had changed, and the Murphy family had clawed their way into the upper echelon—now standing on par with the Hunt family. That rise in status had once made an alliance marriage between their children possible. But regardless of their newfound position, in Francine's eyes, a mere Murphy had no right to cause chaos at her son's hospital bedside.
Ethan, ever the hypocrite, hid his anger with practiced charm. "Don't be mad—I only did this because I ran out of options... I just wanted to get your attention and meet you!" he said, smiling with all the charm he could muster.
But Francine was not stupid. This was a man who would never openly confront anyone unless he deemed them useful or, more importantly, unless he had no other choice. Since the Hunt family still commanded respect among The Great Eight of Beach City, the Murphys dared not openly offend them. Still, the underlying threat was unmistakable.
"You ran out of options?" Francine sneered, her lips curling in contempt. "Aren't you just here to show off? Why pretend to be sorry? Just tell me why you're here."
Ethan straightened his back, his false courtesy beginning to crack. "It's about my dear daughter. She had her heart set on your son, and the wedding date was already decided and people were informed, but now... she can't even meet her future husband. What kind of crap is that?" His teeth ground together, barely suppressing his rage.
Francine looked at him with pity and disgust. Then, in a voice as cold as a winter wind, she exposed the ugly truth. "Well, it's a delicate situation. I'm sure your daughter didn't tell you that she wanted to kill my son's surgeon to prevent the surgery. How else could I guarantee that she wouldn't do something to my son?"
The words landed like a bombshell.
Ethan's expression flickered with genuine shock. His mouth opened and closed for a moment before words spilled out. "What? There has to be some kind of misunderstanding—there's no way she'd do something like that. You should look into it!"
He was stunned because, in all honesty, he had believed his daughter to be nothing more than a love-struck fool. He never imagined she could engineer something so despicable. But Francine knew what she had uncovered. She had seen the evidence. And after learning that Seraphina had tried to sabotage her son's life-saving procedure, any warmth she may have once felt for that girl had evaporated completely. Seraphina had been devoted to Stefan for six months; Francine had appreciated that devotion. If nothing had gone wrong, she might have happily blessed their union. After all, the two were childhood sweethearts and genuinely fond of each other. A marriage between the Hunt and Murphy families would have been a perfect social and political match.
But now? Everything had changed. Seraphina had revealed her true colors, and Francine could no longer allow her anywhere near her son.
The two family heads stood in the middle of the hospital lobby, locked in a battle of wills. Ethan's claim of misunderstanding hung in the air like poisonous smoke. Francine did not back down, her stance firm and unyielding. Her gaze told Ethan one clear message: Come at my son again, and I will destroy everything you hold dear.
Outside, thunder rumbled in the dark sky as if fate itself was also holding its breath. The battle had only just begun, and neither side intended to surrender.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This was a fantastic chapter full of layered emotions and raw power dynamics! I love how Francine is portrayed as both a fierce mother and a dominant figure who refuses to be intimidated. The confrontation between her and Ethan was electric—you could feel the tension through the pages. The revelation about Seraphina's murderous plot adds such a deep, dark twist to her character. It’s heartbreaking to see a once-promising relationship destroyed by obsession and deception, but it also brings a new level of danger to the story. I can't wait to see how Ethan reacts now that his perfect image of his daughter has been shattered. This deserves high praise for atmosphere, dialogue, and dramatic weight.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars

**Next Chapter Prediction:**
After this explosive showdown, Ethan will likely storm back to Seraphina and demand the truth. But instead of remorse, he may discover that she has more secrets hiding in the shadows—perhaps someone else orchestrated the assassination order, or Seraphina will lose control and commit an even bolder act of desperation. Meanwhile, Francine will strengthen Stefan's protection, and the Hunt family might officially sever all ties with the Murphys, triggering a full-scale power war among Beach City's elite. Get ready for a storm of revenge, betrayal, and heartbreak!
