Chapter 849: Chapter 849 Very Curious_1
He was an adult and even he found the situation terrifying; but his employer was Jimmy Simmons, and naturally, he took his side.
Hank Ward pushed Jimmy back to the office, thinking about Tiffany Lynch’s departure, "Mr. Simmons, the Simmons Family rarely gets involved in the entertainment industry. At this time, you shouldn’t continue to allocate funds to secure resources for Miss Lynch."
It was Jimmy Simmons who had ordered someone to snatch the role in "The Palace Wall", but Hank Ward was also privy to the inside story.
To wrestle the role from Hannah’s hands, it’s fair to say that Jimmy invested a hefty sum.
Although such an amount of money was nothing to the Simmons Clan, at such a critical moment, taking such actions could give rise to gossip among the other shareholders and might even affect future plans if found out.
Jimmy’s eyes were filled with malevolence, his smile cold and sinister, "Are you suggesting that I stand by and watch Tiffany be wronged?"
Hank Ward heaved a sigh, "Are you truly standing up for Miss Lynch, Mr. Simmons?"
Jimmy’s expression paused for a moment, then he turned his head to look at the man beside him, his dark eyes almost smiling as the wheelchair left a shallow trace on the carpet, which would soon disappear.
Only when the office desk concealed his wheelchair did the gloom in Jimmy’s heart dissipate slightly, "I’ve heard that Arnold has some sort of relationship with a young actress."
In Jimmy’s memory, Arnold had never kept songbirds or swallows by his side. Indeed, there were no rumors about him at all, making his reputation infuriatingly pristine.
Of course, Jimmy had thoroughly investigated his enemy. Although it was just a rumor, the fact that a petty star could be connected with Arnold, and that his once best friend would give up his first love for her, aroused Jimmy’s curiosity.
It could not be denied that Jimmy was somewhat clever in some respects.
Even though the information was incomplete, he knew that if there was truly nothing, then nobody would dare spread such rumors.
Hank also recalled the details he had uncovered, "Mr. Simmons, it’s merely a rumor and its authenticity is unclear. Besides, it’s about a woman who won’t have much influence. Why bother with her..."
"True or false, we won’t know unless we try," Jimmy cut off Hank’s words with a light chuckle, "If it’s false, then consider it avenging Tiffany—after all, she did save my life."
He lifted his hand and placed it on his knee, feeling a familiar pain once again. Recalling the doctor’s words, he felt as if the pain had seeped into his very bones.
"Mr. Simmons, although this injury doesn’t look severe, that blow did damage the bones. It isn’t severe enough to confine you to a wheelchair for life, but you should avoid any strenuous activities and prolonged walking from now on. Furthermore, on rainy and cloudy days, it might..."
The doctor hadn’t finished speaking when an enraged Jimmy chased him out of the hospital room.
The injury was more serious than he anticipated. He had always been proud; how could he tolerate any flaw in his body, let alone let anyone know about it?
Everything in the room that could be smashed was destroyed by his hands, including the bouquet of lilies Tiffany Lynch had sent.
Lush and vibrant, a single glance at them reminded him of his current misery, utterly loathsome.
Hank asked, "Does your leg hurt again, Mr. Simmons?"
Jimmy shook his head, the malevolence in his eyes dissipating in an instant as he commanded coldly, "Push me downstairs. I’m going to see off my dear uncle."
