Andy raised his crutch and struck Harry several times.
"You got one thing right..." Andy sneered, "Being rich is indeed impressive."
He raised the crutch again and fiercely hit him a few more times.
The shopping mall fell silent, and people gathered around to watch Andy beating Harry while mocking his cries of pain.
"Why is this old man bullying others?" Some bystanders who had just arrived were puzzled and asked.
In the next moment, the onlookers interrupted him, "You know nothing!"
"This is the patriarch of H Capital, Andy Livingston. Next to him is his recently reunited daughter, Emma Livingston. The guy on the ground is Emma's ex-husband, a scumbag who abused her and her daughter for decades!"
"He not only abused them but also kept one mistress after another. He even secretly let Emma raise the children of his mistresses. He's a real scumbag!"
"He deserves this beating! Well-deserved!"
In an instant, public anger sur
"I've always known, even my current position at the county clinic was recommended by Professor Smith. After that incident, although he didn't deliberately keep a distance from me, he wasn't as warm as before. I knew it was for my own good, so after leaving the hospital, I tried to keep some distance from him as much as possible." "But my respect for the professor and his care for me over the years, we both kept in our hearts. It's me who has caused his current predicament." The usually composed and calm woman completely crumbled at this moment. Perhaps Shawn didn't understand before, but at this moment, he fully understood everything about Ivy. Her restraint, her tenacity, and the warm heart beneath the cold exterior. Stability and aloofness were just her protective colors; deep down, she had a heart softer than anyone else's. Thinking about this, Shawn increased the strength of his embrace, truly wishing to embed her in his arms, to tell her right now that she didn't need to fea
Mrs. Smith, on the side, listened with a trembling heart and choked out, "What should we
Charlie, in a frenzy, lunged towards Shawn, but was intercepted by the rushing bodyguards.They held Charlie back, keeping him at a distance, and restrained him with his limbs bound.Luke pushed Shawn closer to Charlie, and as their eyes met, it felt like a boat quietly passing through countless mountains.Once friends, companions, and confidants in their youth, now reduced to calculating against each other."Mr. Charlie, this is the last time I address you as Mr. Charlie," Luke sighed. "When you came, Mr. Tate instructed that if you didn't mention this matter to your wife, he would spare you for old times' sake. But if you did, don't blame Mr. Tate for being ruthless."Who was Shawn? A man who crawled out of a pile of corpses, licking blood off his lips.Did Charlie naively think he could control them?"Charlie, you can go and tell Mrs. Tate about Mr. Tate's identity. If she knows the truth, at most, she'll ignore Mr. Tate for a few
Tanya, feeling helpless and annoyed with Charlie, could only pretend to be obedient since Mr. Vandergald had spoken, "Mr. Vandergald, please wait for me here. I'll be back shortly." After saying this, she glared at Charlie, turned, and walked out of the ward.Charlie also walked out to handle Professor Smith's matter. Having followed Shawn for many years, he knew his character well. Despite his current disability, he could still be a formidable opponent when angered."Charlie!" Tanya, seeing him rudely passing by, remembered the recent incident. She rushed to him, "Stop!"He was a head taller than her and looked down at her disdainfully, "What is it?"In the next moment, this arrogant woman grabbed his tie and pulled his head down, "I warn you, don't expect respect from me in the hospital. We're colleagues, not subordinates. You're not qualified to give orders to me!"Charlie chuckled, "Dr. Potts, you’re climbing to your current position in j
Several times, Ivy almost reached out to support him, but looking at Shawn's determined gaze, she held back her instinct. The moment she held onto him, tears burst out uncontrollably. Almost instinctively, she hugged his waist and buried her head in his chest. "Okay, the next time it takes half a month to stand up again," Shawn self-deprecatingly muttered from above. Ivy lifted her head, tears glistening in her eyes, "It's already very good. How long have you been practicing?" "As long as you've been away from me," he replied. Ivy suddenly felt guilty, realizing that she had been neglecting him during this period. She apologized, "I'm sorry, I'll make sure to spend more time with you in the future." Shawn raised an eyebrow. Previously, she seemed assertive, treating him as just one of her many patients. Now, seeing her feeling guilty, the long-term emptiness in his heart seemed to be filled. "Then I forgive you," Shawn said, embracing her again, his heavy palm gently caressing h
Shawn fell silent.Dom's mouth twitched, a look of speechlessness on his face.The old man was playing the innocent card quite convincingly."Really, Grandpa? Haven't you met Mr. Cato Alter before?" Shawn, feeling helpless, found the lie too unreliable. How could he tell such a blatant falsehood?"No, never." Andy chuckled awkwardly. "Usually, Dom goes for me. I'm not in good health, so I avoid the trouble. Let the young people handle it."Shawn gave Dom a meaningful look, silently laughing inside.The day Shawn's identity was revealed, Dom turned out to be quite a useful shield."Since we're all gathered outside, let's go in and rest." Emma smiled, interrupting the awkward exchange, leading everyone into the house.Emma took Uncle Jim to attend to their duties. Ivy sat on the couch, reviewing patient records on her laptop. The other four grown men sat around, stuck in an uncomfortable situation."Mr. Luke, you're Shawn'
Dom regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. This was because he clearly saw the amusement in Emma's eyes and a dark figure lurking in the corner.‘Unbelievable! Why did I have to encounter this family!’"Alright, alright, not many, just a few, three to be precise," Emma reassured him with a smile. "You're used to handling big occasions; you can handle this.""Three?" Dom was dumbfounded. "One at a time? Please... If news gets out that I have three blind date at a time, my reputation will be ruined."Emma gently smiled at him, "Don't worry, Shawn's three female colleagues are all from wealthy families, gentle and elegant.""I don't like gentle and elegant," Dom muttered silently. As he saw the dark figure leaving at the door, he suddenly looked at Emma, "Do you have other daughters?""Huh?!" Emma was stunned, smiling with curved eyes. "If I had, I would want her to marry you. These years, with my
Ivy was chatting with her grandfather. Feeling a sudden chill down her back, she turned instinctively to see Shawn speaking with his assistant with a dark expression. "What's wrong?" Ivy walked up to Shawn, softly asking. Shawn let go of the deep frown on his face and smiled at her. "Nothing. Just now, Luke told me a ghost story, but he told it poorly, so it didn't work. A waste of a ghost story, so I'm not very happy." Luke raised an eyebrow on the side, echoing, "Look at my clumsy mouth." That Catherine, was she just a ghost story? "You guys go ahead; I'll go chat with Grandpa." Knowing that her boss and madam had something to discuss, Luke obediently left. Ivy poured a glass of water for Shawn, noticing the lingering gloom in his eyes. She asked, "What happened, really?" Shawn gently held Ivy's hand and played with it. After a while, he explained the ordeal of the Jones family in Northern Myanmar. Ivy took a while to come back to her senses after hearing it all. "So, only
