NOVPUBChapter 1333: 620 Karmic Debt_1 Chapter 1333: 620 Karmic Debt_1 “The patient’s body can’t wait any longer.
Delaying any further could be very dangerous; we must operate immediately.”
Digby Hart nodded gravely, “Then let’s proceed with the surgery right away.”
“Sir…”, a worried look flashed across Lorcan Hart’s face.
Digby Hart shook his head, “My decision is final, say no more.”
Before entering the operating room, Digby Hart had a brief encounter with Aubree Groove.
“We received news from South Beverley, I don’t know whether to tell you or not, but I think, you should know, eventually.”
Aubree Groove tucked in the blanket corner for him, “Thank you, brother.
Go ahead with the surgery.
I’ll take care of The Harts.”
The medical team wheeled Digby Hart into the operating room.
Aubree Groove straightened her body.
...
A gust of wind blew, lifting the edge of her skirt.
“Where is Digby Hart?
With such a significant event transpiring, where has he disappeared to?” Mr.
Hart was furious.
His own daughter lay on the operating table, her fate uncertain, and Digby Hart had vanished.
Lorcan Hart responded, “Mr.
Hart, Mr.
Eld arrived in Lostswa ahead of schedule.
The Sir had to go and receive him in person.”
Given Mr.
Hart’s advanced age and unstable health, to prevent him from getting overly upset, the news of Digby Hart donating a kidney must be kept from him.
His absence for the next few days can only be explained as a business trip.
Mr.
Hart was aware of some of the company’s affairs.
Mr.
Eld was the director of the international top-tier technology company, JD Group.
The Artie Group is planning to go international and has signed a Strategic Cooperation Agreement with JD Group.
Digby Hart had to personally welcome Mr.
Eld’s visit to show his sincerity.
“What a coincidence,” Mr.
Hart muttered.
Knowing Digby Hart as a workaholic, Mr.
Hart didn’t give it a second thought.
Aubree Groove persuaded Mr.
Hart to go home while she and Nana Breezent stayed outside the operation room.
As every second passed, Nana became more jittery.
“It’s been two hours, Digby Hart will be fine, right?” Nana’s eyes brimmed with tears.
Aubree Groove consoled her softly, “He’ll be fine.
Trust me.”
Meanwhile, the internet was in an uproar.
Xenia Groove was quite well-known on the internet, thanks to the bundling effect with Aubree Groove.
However, if Aubree Groove was the bright moon in the sky, then she was mere sludge in a sewage ditch, their statuses extremely disproportionate.
— Bomb!
Unveiling Digby Hart’s secret illegitimate daughter – it’s actually her!
— Is their entanglement fated, or merely a grievous error?
All the major promotion accounts joined in, forums were ablaze.
Within just two hours, it made the trending list.
Aubree Groove had underestimated the public’s curiosity about the secrets of the wealthy; especially when it involved herself and a previously hostile poseur, the sense of destiny had netizens inexplicably excited.
It was even more thrilling than prime time melodramatic series.
— Digby Hart really has an illegitimate daughter.
Wow, the roof is falling down.
— Who is this Xenia Groove?
How can she be compared to our Goddess, Aubree Groove?
Is there a class representative who can summarise this for me?
— Xenia Groove, the Grooves’ fake heiress, colluded with a mistress to poison her stepmother.
She’s a representative of sly and scheming ‘white lotuses’.
Does anyone remember last year when she exposed Aubree Groove’s fake identity at Granny Groove’s banquet?
When it turned out that Aubree Groove was indeed the heiress of The Rintos, I was there, her face turned green.
Did she really think others would covet the minor status of being Grooves’ heiress?
— These two are irreconcilably intertwined.
Now they’re family again, only this time Xenia Groove has become a real heiress.
How ironic.
—Can’t compare a lowly illegitimate daughter to our Goddess, Aubree Groove.
My aunt works at the Artie Group.
She told me that when a female executive disrespected Goddess Aubree, Secretary Hart fired her without a second thought.
Even if Xenia Groove returns to The Harts, would they pay attention to her with all the things she’s done before?
—Am I the only one who feels pity for Xenia Groove?
Being an illegitimate daughter is not her decision.
Aubree Groove has no blood ties to The Harts, she was just lucky to be favored by them.
How can she compare to Digby Hart’s real daughter, Bella White?
Wealthy families highly value lineage.
Wait and see, your Goddess Aubree will fall out of favor soon.
— Are those above joking?
Xenia Groove pitiful?
What a colossal joke.
She has lived a wealthy life since childhood.
The most pitiful ones should be Aubree Groove and her senior sister.
Both were from a wealthy family, yet they lived a hard life in the mountains.
The Rintos’ business spans various industries.
In terms of net worth, Aubree Groove’s nephew is comparable to Digby Hart.
It’s still uncertain who needs whom.
— This Xenia Groove’s existence is quite the haunting one.
Now she can only call our Goddess Aubree Groove ‘aunt’.
Just thinking about that is satisfying.
—According to the grapevine, Xenia Groove has a terminal illness.
It must be retribution for all the bad things she has done.
Seems like she won’t be enjoying this wealthy life for much longer.
—Uh…
Ignorance is bliss.
If I were Digby Hart’s daughter, I would cherish my life more.
There is so much money, it wouldn’t be enough to spend in several lifetimes.
Isn’t it a huge loss to die?
The netizens mainly comprised spectators.
Most bystanders remained relatively objective and calm.
Mainly because the past reputation of Xenia Groove wasn’t great and Aubree Groove was like an untarnished ‘White Moonlight’.
After several reversals, the public sentiment now completely leaned towards Aubree Groove.
The Artie Group’s public relations department didn’t even need to intervene, as online public opinion remained within control.
At this moment, Corey Dewey’s studio released an article on its official account.
Corey Dewey was the top paparazzo in the industry, dubbed the ‘Disciplinary Committee of the Entertainment Circle’.
He was extremely popular, and numerous celebrities’ teams feared him, worried about being targeted.
His fans, however, had mixed feelings, making Corey’s official account highly popular, with all movements closely monitored by various management teams.
This time the article’s title let all the management teams breathe a sigh of relief.
Luckily, it was about unveiling Digby Hart’s secret illegitimate daughter.
Corey Dewey’s articles were usually sharp and biting.
This time, however, his tone was surprisingly gentle.
He unveiled the inside story of Digby Hart’s secret illegitimate daughter, brought up the banquet from nineteen years ago that led to Digby Hart’s mistake, emphasizing that Digby Hart wasn’t a playboy who abandoned his wife and child.
Instead, it was a misunderstanding; Digby Hart didn’t even know he had a daughter out in the world.
But when it came to Xenia Groove, he pronounced judgment, stating that this girl, who was once shadowed by falsehood, isn’t that simple.
The whole event was an elaborate hoax directed and acted out by her, intentionally picking Digby Hart’s engagement ceremony to humiliate both Digby Hart and his fiancée in public.
If the fiancée wasn’t magnanimous, she might have exploded on the spot.
Establishing credibility, he even attached a recorded conversation.
The voice in the recording was evidently Xenia Groove’s, as she leaked information over the telephone to Dewey, insisting that he infiltrate the banquet venue at all costs for an unexpected gain.
Now, no one sympathized with Xenia Groove.
Instead, people felt sorry for Digby Hart.
A person with such deep schemes was undeserving of being Digby Hart’s daughter.
