“What do you mean?” Leanne glared at Clarence.
Without saying too much, Clarence slowly walked up to Thompson. He took out a silver needle and unbuttoned Thompson’s clothes.
Clarence raised his hand and stabbed into the acupoint four inches above Thompson’s belly button.
The role of the acupoint point four inches above the belly button was inducing vomiting.
“Blargh!”
Then, the unthinkable happened.
Thompson, who had just been ‘dead’, struggled violently as he threw up like crazy.
He spat out a large amount of food and almond tea. The filth ran down the floor.
“Dad! You’re alright.”
Leanne burst into tears of joy and rushed forward to help Thompson.
Five minutes later, Thompson was feeling better. “What happened to me?”
“Dad, you just…”
Leanne explained the whole story in detail.
“It was the owner of Thirteen Hall who saved me? Where is that young man?” Clarence’s figure flashed through Thompson’s mind.
“Yes, it was him, Dad.”
Leanne nodded and looked around for Clarence. “Dad, I think he has left.”
Belle’s face was grim. “Go on! Go on pretending!
“I wondered why Clarence had coincidentally shown up here right after you died.
“I’m guessing that Clarence set this up on purpose!
“He left right after he cured you! Retiring after winning some merit? Doing good without getting any credit? Why pretend?
“Everyone, come and pass your judgment on this. The Murphy family has fed and taken care of Clarence, but now he has hired shills to frame Humanity Hall! Everyone can see that you, this father and daughter, are the shills that Clarence hired to make trouble for Humanity Hall.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Leanne was furious.
Since when did she become a shill?
Humanity Hall’s almond tea had almost killed her father.
If it were not for Clarence, her father would still be in danger now.
Melody continued to behave strangely. “Aren’t there better things to do?
“Why do you have to trick people?
“What the hell did that loser Clarence give you?
“We’ll give you double! Isn’t it just money?”
“You!” Leanne was pissed. She thought Belle and Melody were brainless.
They were framing her and her father, while they had no idea what was actually going on.
Would they have to do such a thieving thing, when they already possessed the Wright family’s power, wealth, status, and background?
“Forget it. Let’s not talk about this anymore,” Thompson said grimly, stopping Leanne from continuing. “Let’s go.”
Thompson and Leanne walked out of Humanity Hall.
“F*ck off! F*ck off! F*ck off! Hurry up and f*ck off!
“What the hell!”
Belle rolled her eyes. Clarence had ruined her good mood.
After leaving Humanity Hall, Clarence had just arrived back at Thirteen Hall’s entrance to find a group of people maniacally vandalizing Thirteen Hall.
“What are you doing?” Clarence stormed into Thirteen Hall in anger.
He happened to see Felix standing inside, instructing people to smash things. Cecilia looked helpless as she was being held aside by someone who had grabbed her.
After seeing Clarence, Felix growled, “Surround him!”
Dozens of men with steel pipes stopped what they were doing and went to surround Clarence.
Clarence frowned. “It’s you!”
“Haha! Boy, how dare you beat up my dad? You’re just asking for trouble.” Felix looked cold. Donald had been admitted to the hospital with multiple broken bones and soft tissue contusions. Not to mention, he had also suffered severe shock. Fortunately, his life was not in danger.
Felix found Clarence’s clinic after he finished dealing with the hospital.
With the Wright family’s power, finding Clarence had been simply too easy.
“Who the hell do you think you are?
“I’ve seen your resume. You’re just a loser from the orphanage!
“You’re now a son-in-law of the Murphy family. How dare you, in your lowly position, lay a finger on my dad?
“Get down on your knees and apologize right now, or I’ll have someone break your limbs and throw you into the river.” Felix showered Clarence with words of abuse.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside Thirteen Hall, saying, “Break his limbs and throw him into the river? Will you throw me into the river too?”
“F*ck! Who the f*ck are you? How dare you meddle in the Wright family’s business?” Felix yelled, looking out of Thirteen Hall.
Once he looked over, his face instantly turned bluish-grey before it went pale.
Thompson and Leanne slowly walked over.
Seeing them, one of Felix’s underlings snarled, “Who the f*ck are you, old man? Who are you to interrupt when our boss is giving orders?
“F*ck you. Get down on your knees! If you don’t, my boss will kill you when he gets unhappy with you.
“Hey, your daughter’s pretty good-looking!
“Maybe she can sleep with my boss, and after that he’ll spare you.”
Leanne’s face darkened when she heard that. “Felix, is this your man?”
Felix was terrified. He kicked his imperceptive underling away.
“Uncle…
“Leanne…”
Felix’s face was ghastly pale.
Thompson was the patriarch of the Wright family, so no one in the family dared to disobey Thompson.
Felix’s father’s generation was obsequious to Thompson, and the younger generations were even more scared by the sight of Thompson.
Leanne was even the big sister of the Wright family’s younger generation.
“Uncle? Leanne?”
Clarence’s heart fluttered. ‘Are these two people from the Wright family, one of the top three families in Mediterranean City?’
He only heard Thompson say grimly, “Felix, you’ve got a lot of nerve. Who gave you the courage to bully people with the Wright family’s name?”
“Uncle, it’s not what you think!”
Felix’s expression changed, and he almost fell to his knees in fear. “This kid gave my dad a good beating this morning.
“He even threw my dad off the third floor. He’s in the hospital now.
“I’m here to get justice for my dad.”
“Haha,” Thompson sneered. “You want to get justice by breaking people’s limbs and throwing them into a river?
“This young man is my savior!
“F*ck off!”
Thompson’s voice was imposing. “I’ll kill you if you step even a single foot into Thirteen Hall ever again.”
Felix dared not say another word of nonsense. Leading his group of underlings, he fled the scene with his tail between his legs.
Clarence looked at Thompson. “Thank you, Old Master Wright.”
“You know me?” Thompson looked at Clarence with a smile.
Clarence shrugged. “Felix is from the Wright family in Mediterranean City. He calls you Uncle and is so afraid of you. Who else could you be but the Wright family’s current patriarch?”
“Haha! Good boy. You’re a good doctor. Thank you for saving my life just now.” Thompson was in a good mood.
“Doctors are meant to be compassionate. Don’t mention it, Old Master Wright.” Clarence shook his head.
Thompson frowned and glanced around at the smashed-up Thirteen Hall. “Leanne, write a check to make it up to Mr. Howard.”
“Alright.”
Leanne pulled out her checkbook and casually handed Clarence a check for fifteen million dollars.
Clarence was a little surprised as he looked at the amount on the check.
Although he knew that the Wright family had deep pockets, he was not expecting them to pay him fifteen million in one fell swoop.
“You don’t have to be so surprised. The five million is to compensate you for your smashed-up clinic.
“The other ten million is the deposit for my grandfather’s treatment!” Leanne smiled faintly.
Clarence was quite confused. “Deposit for treatment?”
