Chapter 864 Rage and Revenge
“No, no, he’s joking,” Cora said. “Mr. Serrano happened to find Georgia in danger and saved her. We’re so grateful, aren’t we?”
Cora quickly pulled Byron’s hand, signaling him not to meddle in his niece’s love life.
Though still glaring at Efren, Byron held his tongue under Cora’s tacit reprimand.
“Thank you, Efren.”
“Byron, even if you and Efren are close, you can’t joke like that.”
The Hansens quickly acknowledged, though still a bit confused.
Just then, Osborn frowned and asked sharply, “So who was the scum that drugged her?”
No matter how old, Osborn would never let anyone harm his granddaughter.
“Alton Wayne,” Efren revealed.
He had noticed the lecher ogling Georgia at Byron’s party and looked into him.
“That guy?” Nora recalled the Waynes pestering Georgia that night.
“They kept pushing for a marriage alliance,” Georgia’s mother

Her father snorted. “I heard they’re bankrupt. A marriage would bail them out.”
Osborn declared, “Even if richer than us, with those manners and that face, he’s unworthy of Georgia.”
As they conferred, Efren went on grimly, “I found cameras set up in his room. He came prepared!”
Hearing this, the Hansens erupted in rage.
Enraged, Georgia’s father moved to confront Alton directly until Efren added, “I’ve already dealt with Alton. He’s probably in the hospital now.”
Somewhat appeased, her father nodded. “Good.”
But still unsatisfied, he asked Byron, “Are we currently in business with the Waynes?”
Having just checked, Byron named a few collaborations and stated flatly, “I’m cutting off all ties and blacklisting them effective immediately. Anyone who works with those Wayne parasites will become our sworn enemy!”
With the Hansens’ clout, none would dare associate with the
Waynes now.
They were effectively banished from elite New York circles.
But to Efren, the Hansens had been too lenient.
However, he didn’t want them privy to his further Wayne retaliation plans.

As the Hansens conferred, Georgia’s mother and grandmoit.cr thanked Efren again.
“We’ll take care of Georgia now,” Nora added pointedly. “You go about your business, Efren.”
Efren understood this was Nora’s way of dismissing him.
He yearned to stay at her bedside, but it was inappropriate with her family present.
Besides, urgent Wayne family matters demanded his attention.
So after bidding the Hansens farewell, Efren departed.
But he took one final lingering look at Georgia before leaving the
room…
