Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the medical team left, Selina continued frantically smashing the things in the hall.
“It’s him. It’s him again!
“Would it kill me if I avoided asking him about it?
“Why is this happening? Is destiny playing a trick on me?
“I’d rather die than have to beg that guy for help!” Selina’s eyes were red, and she looked deranged.
None of the Lawson family’s butlers and servants dared to speak. They were all terrified.
Suddenly, a slender woman with European-style arched eyebrows walked in. She was fashionably dressed and wore high heels. She was slim, too. She was supposed to be quite alluring.
Unfortunately, her nose was bandaged up, so she looked very awkward.
The woman looked surprised. “Selina, what’s come over you?
“Why are you so angry all of a sudden?”
Selina looked up at the woman. “I’m worried that my dad’s not going to make it. I mean, those quacks recommended someone to me.
“But this person...”
The woman was none other than Lisa, the producer from Port Island.
Lisa frowned. “Then why aren’t you looking for that person? If we can save Old Master Lawson... We don’t even have to save him, we just need him to wake up.
“So we can have Old Master Lawson make a will stating that you can take over the Lawson family.
“Otherwise, if your brothers divide the Lawson family’s fortunes, who knows what terrible mess the Lawson family will get into?”
Selina sighed. “I’d like that.
“But I’ve had trouble with that man. There’s no way I can swallow my pride and beg him.”
Lisa asked curiously. “Who is it?
“With the Lawson family’s power, there’s someone you can’t get?”
Selina did not keep it a secret, explaining everything about Clarence to Lisa, including the unpleasant things that had happened between them.
Lisa’s eyes widened at that. “That guy!”
“What’s the matter?
“Do you know him?” It was Selina’s turn to be surprised now.
Lisa gritted her teeth. “I’d recognize him even if he turned into ash. That’s the guy who broke the implant in my nose.
“He made me fly to Awe Country again. I’ve just come back from plastic surgery.”
“What happened?” Selina asked curiously.
Lisa explained what had happened at the hospital that day.
“That boy’s an *sshole. He can even beat women up. My friends are still in the hospital with their hands broken.
“I’d kill him if I had the chance!
“But he can be of use to you now. He can save Old Master Lawson, so we have to keep him alive for the time being.”
Lisa suddenly sneered sinisterly before she began to speak. “Selina, I’ve figured out how to deal with him.”
“How?” Selina asked quickly.
All she cared about right now was her father’s life. Otherwise, with her brains, Selina would have been able to figure out a way to deal with Clarence.
She was distracted and thus had not given much thought to how to deal with Clarence.
Lisa was different. She was obsessed with getting back at Clarence, and she had a stockpile of bad ideas.
“Clarence has a wife, and as I left Mediterranean City for my surgery in Awe Country, I kept an eye on Mediterranean City’s happenings, including Clarence’s clinic. I had someone keep an eye on it.
“Let’s give Clarence a head start. Clarence is tough, but his wife’s different.
“As far as I know, Murphy Property Development Group is only worth two billion. I can crush him with my connections without you even needing to do anything.”
Lisa let out an amused laugh. “Selina, you can use the Lawson family’s power to give Miranda a treat first.
“Pretend to give in to Clarence until he saves Old Master Lawson.
“After that, we’ll immediately destroy Clarence’s clinic!”
Lisa had a meaningful look in her eyes. “Isn’t he a doctor?
“Isn’t he arrogant?”
She seemed spiteful. “We’ll start with what he’s most proud of. If several patients die and there’s a medical accident in Thirteen Hall, the media will follow the story. We control the entertainment industry, so we hold the public opinion in our hands.
“We’ll let it go viral on Twitter, and I’ll have some influencers share the post. The boy will be dead meat. Even Jesus won’t be able to save him then.”
Lisa sneered. “With the public pressure, do you think the authorities will let Clarence go?
“They’ll shut down Thirteen Hall, and Clarence will become someone everyone hates.
“In the end, Clarence’s reputation will be ruined, and the families of the patients who died will give him enough trouble for a lifetime.
“We don’t even have to kill him. This going to be worse than killing him.”
Killing someone by destroying their hope. It was ??a hell of a move by Lisa.
She not only wanted to destroy Thirteen Hall but Clarence as well.
Selina frowned. “Okay, let’s do it.”
How could you do great things without being ruthless?
Besides, the way Clarence had turned her down last time had been off-putting.
‘He’s only a barefoot doctor. Who gave him the right to treat me that way?’
Clarence had no idea what Selina and Lisa were planning. He had been consulting patients at?Thirteen Hall all day.
He had cured dozens of patients. After that farce in the park, many elderly men and women had visited him out of admiration.
As he was closing up the clinic after finishing the consultation with his final patient that evening, a tall woman in light makeup, a black trenchcoat, knee-high boots, and jeans walked in.
The sunset just happened to be shining in from behind her. Clarence stared blankly at the woman for a second.
The scene felt good. The woman before him used to be a dream, a prize he had often been worried about losing.
However, they had nothing to do with each other now!
Clarence remained calm and smiled faintly. “What are you doing here?”
Miranda walked over slowly. “Do I need a reason to visit you?
“I came just as you were about to get off work. Are you going to rest?”
“Yeah.” Clarence nodded and laughed as he put away his things. “You’re always welcome here. I never said you couldn’t come.
“I can even examine you if you don’t feel well.”
Miranda froze. “Are you going to charge me?”
The woman smiled gently after saying that, her tone a little coquettish.
Clarence was stunned. He had never seen Miranda smile like that before. Perhaps more accurately, she had never smiled like that in front of him before.
“We made the right choice by getting a divorce. You would never smile at me like that if we were still married.” Clarence sighed. “You always save your best for outsiders and maintain your manners.”
Miranda glanced at Clarence. “Are you still mad at me?”
Clarence shook his head. “No, I was just inspired enough to say that.”
Miranda bit her red lip. She was silent for a few seconds before saying, “I’m here to ask you for a favor.”
“Haha.”
Clarence laughed. “I knew you were here for something. Tell me. What can I do for you?”
Miranda tugged at her trenchcoat. “I have a business partner who needs my help. I hear you’re a good doctor, so help me save someone.
“If you save them, she’ll sign the contract with me.”
Clarence froze. “Is that all?
“Okay, I’ll do it.”
