Chapter 167

Author: Foxy Whispers
"The things you listed out just now prove that you hate Shawn's guts a lot. Is this your motive behind the murder?" a police officer pointed out.

"I told you, I didn't kill him!" Cassian refuted. "Shawn abused the fact that his father is the vice president of Rivershire Hospital to commit all sorts of atrocities. Honestly speaking, his dying is good news for our society."

"We'll investigate every incident that Shawn was a part of. One more question: on the morning of Shawn's disappearance, you went to the ward to look for him, but you couldn't find him there. Lydia Nixon was the only one present in the ward at that time.

"After that, you left the hospital together with the chief surgeon, Vera Frost. What did you two do that morning?" The police officer finally asked the question.

"Dr. Frost and I went to Nimbus Peak to treat Lord Drakeford."

The police officers exchanged looks with each other. They could detect the grimness in each other's eyes.

It was one thing for Cassian to be

    Caught off guard, Lydia ended up stumbling several steps backward before falling on her butt. She glared at the nurse and snarled, "What the hell are you doing?"I can't believe you've got the nerve to ask me that. Before Shawn, that useless piece of trash, died, you abused the fact that you were his girlfriend to push me around and bully me all the time. You even slapped me in the face. Well, I'm returning the slap to you now," the nurse said.Then, she picked up a dirty rag from the nearby table and threw it at Lydia's face."Use that rag to scrub the lobby floor clean. If I see a single speck of dust left, I'll file a complaint with the head of the nursing assistants and have you kicked out of this hospital."Lydia was so furious that she nearly burst into tears.She'd once used the same commanding tone with the nurses, but now, the tables had turned. The nurses were the ones ordering her around.And to make matters worse, the hospital lobby was crowded. Plenty of people were

    Cassian had already made up his mind. No matter who had hired the hitman to go after Serena, as long as he found proof, he wasn't going to go easy on the culprit.Thiago said, "Frederick is one of the Four Elites of Rivershire. He has the Campbells backing him up. If you go after him, you'll be making an enemy out of the entire Campbell family."Not only that, Frederick is good friends with Michael and Jordan. If you kill him, they will definitely avenge him. You'll have two more enemies then."Cassian's brows creased a little. Who would've thought it'd be this troublesome just to kill someone?That being said, he wasn't going to change his mind."If it was really Frederick's doing, I'll take them all out together," he declared, his voice brimming with domineering bloodlust."Very good!" Thiago declared with a beaming smile. "This is precisely the next piece of advice I wanted to give you, Cassian. The moment you decide to kill someone, you must do a clean job of it. Otherwise, y

    Claude also chimed in, urging, "Just go ahead and accept Lord Drakeford's kind gesture, Cassian!"Left with no choice, Cassian finally signed his name on the shares transfer agreement.Thiago's face lit up with a broad smile. "Good. Tomorrow, I'll have Claude complete the rest of the ownership transfer paperwork. It's getting late. You should head back home and get some rest.""Lord Drakeford, there's something I'd like to ask you about," Cassian suddenly said."What is it?"Cassian filled Thiago in on his thoughts."So, you don't want to be the one out in the open. You want Leon to be the public face, handling matters on your behalf while you hold the power behind the scenes? I think that's a good idea," Thiago said."As the saying goes, the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled. Considering how you've become the head of Rivershire's underworld at such a young age, I'm sure plenty of people will be jealous of you. Some will even want to get rid of you."If you m

    After sending everyone else off, Thiago asked Cassian not to leave just yet. Cassian knew this meant that Thiago had something to say to him."Cassian, do you know why I wanted you to take Horace as your mentee?"When Cassian shook his head, Thiago explained, "Horace is a highly skilled doctor, and he's also the chairman of the Rivershire Traditional Medicine Association. Even Dr. Penrose, the president of Rivershire Hospital, has to show him some courtesy. You'll have nothing to lose but everything to gain if you take on a mentee like that."Moreover, I can tell from Horace's attitude that he's sincere about wanting to learn from you. Taking him in as your mentee will do you a lot of good.""So, what you're saying is, I made the right call by agreeing to be Dr. Sunderland's mentor," Cassian said with a smile."Horace has a lot of connections in Rivershire. You'll definitely need him at some point," Thiago said before asking a question. "What did you do to remove the Two-Fanged Ve

    "Don't be such a nag!" Thiago grumbled, shooting a glare at Claude before drinking more wine.Suddenly, Horace turned to Cassian and said, "Dr. York, I wonder if you still remember the bet we made earlier?""What bet?" Thiago asked curiously before Cassian could answer.Claude repeated the details of the wager between Cassian and Horace. After hearing what happened, Thiago laughed. "Looks like Cassian won that bet."Cassian smiled. "I was just joking around with Dr. Sunderland. It shouldn't be taken seriously.""A bet's a bet, Dr. York. Witnessing your medical skills today has truly opened my eyes. I lost fair and square, and I admit it wholeheartedly," Horace said solemnly, "When we made the bet, I said if I lost, not only would I treat you to a drink, I would also acknowledge you as my mentor."Cassian had absolutely no intention of taking a cranky old man like Horace as his mentee. He was just about to say something when Horace suddenly stood up and said respectfully, "It is m

    After Thiago regained consciousness, his condition rapidly improved. He insisted on getting out of bed and even wanted to host a party to thank Cassian, Horace, and the other doctors.Concerned about Thiago's health, Claude urged, "It's already quite late right now, Lord Drakeford. Why don't we treat them to a meal another day?"Alas, Thiago refused to listen to him."Tell the chef to prepare some food that will pair well with alcohol. And bring out that 30-year-old vintage bottle I've been saving. I want to enjoy it with Cassian and the others.""The parasitic poison was only just removed from your body, Lord Drakeford. It's best if you stay away from alcohol for the time being," Claude cautioned once more."A few drinks won't hurt, right, Cassian?" Thiago checked.Chuckling, Cassian replied, "You can't drink too much, but a little bit is fine.""You hear that? Cassian said I can still drink a little. I'll just have one glass today. Hurry up and make the arrangements," Thiago i
