"Crack!"Suddenly, Clement grabbed Brutus' arm and broke it with a twist in front of Jeremiah."Ah!" Brutus shrieked in agony. Then, both of his arms fell limp as his face scrunched up in pain.Pamela's and her parents' hearts ached for him. Meanwhile, Jeremiah felt humiliated and angry.He had never been so humiliated in his life.He was Jeremiah Goldblum, the heir of Goldblum Corporations. But even with the reinforcement that he had personally brought, he was unable to protect Brutus!Jeremiah had always regarded himself as the tyrant of his era. He even considered himself to be better than the local gangsters like Mason and Tyga.But now, he had been humbled by the local gangster's lackey.At this moment, he was too afraid to even make a single sound."Oh, my poor son! He just recovered from his crippled legs. And now, his hands are crippled too! What did we do to deserve this?" Trudy wailed like a crazy lady, "Why did you do this to us, God? How can you stand by and le
"Your entire family are ungrateful bloodsuckers. You're worse than beasts!"Pamela was taken aback. "What do you mean they cheated your family's money? What nonsense are you spouting?""Don't tell me that you don't know about this. But that's possible as well. After all, it's not entirely impossible for your parents to hide something so shameful from you," Sasha sneered.Pamela turned to her parents. "What happened?""This is no time to be incited by outsiders. Let's bring Brutus to the hospital, quick!" Dickson exclaimed, feigning anger.Shamelessly, Jeremiah chimed in, "Yes, Brutus' Injury is more important now. Let's leave this place first."Jeremiah then picked up the unconscious Peter while the advisor and the others left the place with their tails between their legs. Pamela nodded at him and threw a look of hatred at Woody before leaving.Outside the club, the Yorks entered Jeremiah's car. Then, Jeremiah glowered at the entrance of the bar and growled, "Don't worry, it w
"That's enough. Get up now," Woody said.Helen took a step forward and helped Clement up together with Melissa. She said, "Mr. Henderson has told you to get up. Hurry and get people to clear up the place. We're here for fun."Clement nodded. "You got it." After he gave out the instructions, his men started frantically cleaning up the place. It didn't take long until the place was clean again. Soon, new tables and chairs were placed, and fresh drinks were served.The club quickly returned to its original atmosphere too.Initially, many timid guests had wanted to leave, but because Clement had announced that all expenses would be waived for tonight, they immediately changed their minds and stayed on.…Meanwhile, Brutus was at the hospital. "Brutus York, why are you here again?"The doctor looked at his medical records and exclaimed with wide eyes, "Last time, you broke your legs, and this time, it's your arms. What's happening? Do you like coming to the hospital this much?"
With Jeremiah's support, Pamela felt more confident and nodded in agreement. "Yes, you're right!"Since Jeremiah had turned the tables in her favor during the trial, then surely he was an important enough person who could influence Miranda.If Pamela mentioned Jeremiah's name, then Miranda would do definitely do her this favor."It's still not too late yet. Hurry and go now," Trudy urged. Initially, Pamela had wanted to suggest going the next morning. But when she saw how pathetic her brother seemed, she finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll head over to Ms. Miranda's hotel then."Half an hour later, Pamela knocked on the door of a hotel room in Hillside Hotel. After she was allowed in, she found Miranda all washed up and dressed in her nightgown."I'm sorry, Ms. Miranda," Pamela apologetically started, "I shouldn't have come to disturb you so late at night.""It's alright."Pamela was relieved at Miranda's magnanimous attitude. But unbeknownst to her, if she wasn't Woody's ex-
Pamela widened her eyes in shock. "What?"Thousands of possibilities on who the owner of the cream was had gone through Pamela's mind. At one point, she'd even accepted her parents' ridiculous guess that Samuel was the owner and that he had given it to her because he was interested in her. But the one person that she didn't connect to the cream was Woody. How was this possible?Pamela couldn't bring herself to believe it. "Please don't joke with me, Ms. Miranda."With a serious face, Miranda answered, "Do I sound like I'm kidding?""But… H-How could it be him? That's utterly impossible!" Pamela loudly refuted.Miranda sniggered. "If it wasn't for Woody, do you think that I would've let your company off so easily? Why would I withdraw my lawsuit when I had absolute confidence of winning?"Once again, Pamela's eyes grew to the size of golf balls. Wasn't Jeremiah the one who'd gotten someone to put in a good word for her? How did it turn out to be Woody?"Since we're already
Pamela's heart sank. This situation seemed familiar to her.Previously, Kurt had gained her trust the same way by repeatedly lying to her and shamelessly taking credit for things that Woody had done.This was the same tactic too! Could Jeremiah be a jerk as well?Pamela refused to believe this. After all, Jeremiah had caught Kurt and recovered the Yorks' money. Just this point alone set him miles apart from Kurt.Pamela's heart beat wildly, and she had on a complicated expression. Upon seeing this, Miranda's assistant said, "Ms. York, it's getting late. It's time for Ms. Miranda to rest. Please leave.""Okay. I'm sorry for holding you up for so long Ms. Miranda. I'll take my leave now." Pamela then stood up and dejectedly left the hotel room. Pamela was like a soulless corpse as she walked in her daze. When she finally got into her car, she didn't even remember how she got there. Just to be safe, she decided to call Samuel. "Mr. Hills, I must be bothering you by call
"You don't have to do that." Jeremiah shot down her idea right away. "I've done him a huge favor before, and he's merely returning me the favor."Compared to what I've done for him, he's the one who gained a huge benefit. So, you don't have to thank him, much less buy him a meal. He should be the one treating me!"Pamela's eyebrows furrowed tightly. But still, she calmly said, "Since that's the case, okay then."Now, it was proven that Jeremiah and Kurt were the same. But the reason why Pamela didn't expose Jeremiah was because she didn't want to make it awkward for him. Moreover, she had other uses for him too. So, having a complete fallout with him wasn't the smartest thing to do."That's right, Pam. Kurt kept insisting to meet you." Ever-skilled in the art of manipulation, Jeremiah mentioned Kurt to remind Pamela of how he'd caught him. Jeremiah continued, "I think that you don't have to waste your time on scum like him. There's nothing to say to him. But he was very persi
Woody could only helplessly chuckle at the situation. He had actually considered administering acupuncture on each of them to instantly sober them up. However, that would defeat the purpose of drinking to relax. So, Woody decided to give up on the idea and not rain on their parade.They were constantly under a lot of pressure. So, it was important to have fun since they rarely hang out together too.After all, with Woody—the miraculous doctor—around, they wouldn't get into trouble regardless of how much they drank. As for whether or not they would regret it once they start feeling sick after drinking was a question to consider later.Soon, it was past midnight. As their colleagues started to leave one after another, Clement specially assigned his men to drop them home.Helen then declared that she had to hold out until the end because she was the boss, and her two best friends of the night decided to stay by her side. In the end, all three of them passed out in a drunken
