Chapter 11

Winona looked displeased at being yelled at by Edward and said defiantly, “That’s right, I want this car of yours.”Edward looked greatly disappointed in Winona. Hailey might not be aware about the car, but was Winona ignorant, too?This car had nothing whatsoever to do with Winona, yet she had the cheek to demand this car from him after their divorce. How could she be so shameless?Winona herself looked stunned by her own words. She didn’t expect herself to blurt that out.Hailey felt even more emboldened by Winona’s words and said arrogantly to Edward, “Did you hear what my daughter said just now?“You bought this car before you two were divorced. In other words, this car is a shared asset within the marriage and Winona technically owns half of it.“How about this? I have a few thousand in my pocket. Take it as compensation and we’ll drive this car away.”Hailey unzipped her waist pack and pulled out a couple of wrinkled notes and threw it at Edward before trying to snatch the

Hailey exploded the moment she heard that the car didn’t belong to Edward. If this car really didn’t belong to him, she had no way of getting her hands on it. This was a car worth a hundred million meldos. She couldn’t accept the fact that her chance of getting her hands on it disappeared just like that.Clyde looked daggers at Hailey who cowered in fear and took two steps back to stand behind Winona.Winona spoke up, “Mr. Hardwick, you’re going overboard here. You don’t lack money. Why must you take a car from ordinary people like us? Even if this car is worth a hundred million meldos, that’s spare change for someone like you. Aren’t you smearing your reputation by behaving this way?”Clyde said with a smirk, “I didn’t expect you to have such a sharp tongue. It’s no wonder you’re a CEO of a company at such a young age. But you got one thing wrong. This car really is mine. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the inspection document issued by the customs.”At once, Steven turned

“He almost inflicted internal injuries on me with that slap. I’ll make that bastard end up in jail for that!”Everyone knew that her claim of suffering from internal injuries was nonsense at the sight of how loud and powerful her voice was, and they started badmouthing and pointing fingers at her once more.“This old woman is truly shameless. How dare she claim to have internal injuries when she’s standing right there, yelling at him without so much as panting?”“Shameless people are really something. Now that they failed to steal the car, they’re trying to slander the man and land him in jail. This family is truly vicious.”“The daughter of this old woman is vicious too, trying to send her ex-husband to jail. He is so unlucky to have married her. Thankfully, he divorced her in the end.”Winona overheard the hushed whispers from the crowd, and her face darkened with displeasure. She felt so embarrassed she wished the ground would swallow her up.Edward looked at Winona in disappo

The crowd burst out in excited chatter upon hearing Clyde’s words.“I heard that Mr. Hardwick’s lawyer is amazing. He even sent a judge who participated in trials to jail. He’s awesome!”"I've heard that on bad days, he can send the accused to jail. On an average day, he can have the opposing lawyer locked up for at least three years. And on a good day? He can even put the judge behind bars."“Wow, I didn’t expect Mr. Hardwick’s lawyer to be so impressive. In that case, wouldn’t the mother, daughter, and son all be sent to jail?”Winona’s face was dark with displeasure. She had heard about the reputation of Clyde’s lawyer and knew that he was a very powerful and influential lawyer indeed. If Clyde really were to summon his lawyer, they might really find themselves in jail.Winona looked back at Edward with mixed feelings in her eyes. She knew that he was the key in this entire incident. If Edward could let this go, they would stand a chance of getting away.“Edward, we were once

Chapter 15

Winona simply couldn’t believe that Edward was insisting for her to apologize to him. Was this the gentle and thoughtful Edward she knew? She bit her lip hard as indignation filled her eyes.“Edward, are you really going to treat me so harshly? You weren’t like that in the past…”Edward knew from Winona’s words that she was trying to gain his sympathy. Before their divorce, her attempts at gaining his pity had always worked. But now, after their divorce, Edward had seen through Winona and refused to fall into her trap.Edward said, “Quit acting pitiful in front of me. I’m not going to fall for that. It’s fine if you refuse to apologize to me. Everyone saw how your mom tried to steal from me. I’ll send her to jail for at least eight to ten years.”Hailey’s face paled with fright at Edward’s words as she looked at him with fear in her eyes.“Edward, I was once your mother-in-law, after all. How could you bear to send me to jail?”Edward scoffed, “You said it yourself, you were once

Chapter 16

During the three years of their marriage, Edward normally stayed at home and occupied his time with menial household work such as laundry and cooking. Winona had never seen Edward interact with any outsiders, much less seen him communicate with Clyde.If that were the case, why would Clyde be so generous towards Edward, and even readily loan Edward a luxury car worth hundreds of millions in meldos?Winona was no fool; she could tell that the relationship between Clyde and Edward wasn’t that straightforward.“Edward, just how much have you been hiding from me?” Winona muttered to herself with a strange look in her eyes. Outside the hospital emergency room, a group of people were waiting anxiously, and no one dared to make a sound. All of them were throwing anxious glances at the emergency room door. Clyde strode over with Edward next to him.“Hey Walter, how is your father doing?” Clyde waved and greeted a middle-aged man with a squarish face.Although the man looked very ord

A young man walked over with a disdainful expression. He was Sean Daniels, Walter’s son.He had overheard what Clyde had said from afar and walked over upon knowing that Edward was the person Clyde had called over to save his grandfather. He couldn’t stand any more of this nonsense.Walter scoffed. “Sean, don’t be rude.”Sean said, “Dad, how am I being rude?“I just think that scammers are becoming increasingly bold nowadays, turning their aim toward you, the mayor of Havaria.”Clyde’s face turned dark with displeasure at Sean’s words.Was Sean insinuating that he was an accomplice of a scammer?Sean noticed the sullen look on Clyde’s face and said with a smile, “Mr. Hardwick, don’t be offended. I wasn’t exactly talking about you.“I just think that you might be fooled by this punk and therefore fell for his words.”Clyde said coldly, “I think you shouldn’t shoot your mouth off on this. Dr. Channing’s medical skills are impressive and I saw them for myself. Why would I bother

“When my father was severely ill, I did consider calling for his help, but I just couldn’t find him. To think that you actually managed to find him this time.”It was clear from Clyde’s tone that he approved of Dr. Shaw’s medical skills.He then turned to look awkwardly at Edward.“I’m sorry, Dr. Channing. I didn’t know that they had called Dr. Shaw over and made you make a wasted trip here.”Sean said disdainfully, “Mr. Hardwick, why be so courteous to this brat? He’s just a scammer. Are you getting senile with age?”Edward’s brow arched as his gaze turned cold.Sean spoke so rudely to him the moment he appeared, and even he was beginning to get mad despite his mild temperament and good nature.Walter yelled at Sean, “Sean, is that how you should speak to Mr. Hardwick? What do I always tell you?”Walter scolded Sean not because he had insulted Edward, but because he had spoken inappropriately to Clyde.It was obvious that Walter didn’t really trust Edward’s words, which was w

“Do you have a screw loose? How dare you say that we’ll come begging you?“If we really have to beg you for help, I’ll get down on my knees to do so!”Sean glared at Edward with fury, his face dark with displeasure.Clyde was taken aback by Edward’s claim.He hadn't expected Edward to speak so rudely to Walter.Although he had known Walter for many years and shared a good relationship with him, he himself didn’t dare to behave so rudely before Walter.After all, Walter was the most powerful man in Havaria and sat in a position of authority. Not everyone could afford to offend him.“Dr. Channing, do be careful with your words…“Walter, Dr. Channing didn’t mean what he said earlier. Please don’t take it to heart. I’ll take him away right now.”Clyde was worried that Edward’s words might incur Walter’s wrath and decided to take Edward away from this place.Just then, the doors to the emergency room flew open and an old man donning a white robe and a face mask emerged from inside

Chapter 20

Everyone turned their attention toward Edward.Walter said darkly, “What did you just say? Say it once more!”Edward looked fearlessly into Walter’s sharp eyes and said flatly, “I said, I can save him.”Sean looked at Edward derisively and yelled with anger, “Brat, quit talking nonsense! Even the legendary Dr. Shaw can’t do anything about it. What can you do?”Edward scoffed. “Just because he can’t doesn’t mean I can’t.”Charles approached Edward with a look of displeasure on his face. “Young man, may I know who your mentor is?”“I learned everything myself and have no mentor,” Edward replied to him indifferently.Charles said nothing upon hearing that Edward was a self-taught practitioner, but the look in his eyes betrayed the disregard and disdain he felt toward Edward.How dare a boy who didn't have the guidance of a mentor brag in front of him? He was seeing new heights of arrogance in this man.The derision and disdain in Sean’s eyes grew more intense.“You don’t even ha
