Chapter 11 Joshua’s Blackmail
Nolan and the others were punished.
The conflict at the hospital had come to an end, and the crowd dispersed.
Leyla was sent back to the advanced ward.
Ross promised Joshua that nothing like this would happen again.
Joshua trusted him.
“Mr. Lynn, I have a question,” Joshua said to Ross.
Ross said with a smile, “You want to ask me what I just said to Nolan?”
“That’s right.”
Ross replied seriously, “I told him that it was Mr. Helin’s order, and he understood what I meant at once.”
Joshua was confused.
It was true that Alfred was highly respected in New York, but he was not a member of the hospital and did not have the right to fire Nolan!
Ross explained, “Mr. Palmer, here’s the thing. Our hospital is currently transforming into a private hospital. Mr. Helin, along with his Maple Group, is the biggest investor, which means that Mr. Helin will be the owner of our hospital. Of course, Nolan can be kicked out with Mr. Helin’s order.
“To tell you the truth, I have been on inspection abroad recently. Yesterday, Mr. Helin called me, saying that your sister was about to have an operation. Therefore, I immediately arranged for the most outstanding experts in the state to rush here. I rushed back at once as well.
“It was confidential, so most people in the hospital had no idea. Otherwise, Nolan wouldn’t have dared to act so arrogantly at all!”
Joshua then understood what had happened.
Maple Group invested in First Hospital of New York. In other words, Joshua would be the boss of the hospital.
He found it interesting just thinking about it…
It was 5:30 in the afternoon.
Joshua left the hospital and headed for the dinner Alexia had mentioned.
Rex wanted to give Joshua a ride to butter Joshua up.
Joshua refused Rex.
There were only a few stops from the hospital to Golden Gate Hotel. Joshua did not want to trouble Rex.
Rex added Joshua on Line, saying that he would be there for Joshua if something
occurred.
Then Rex left with his lackeys.
Joshua took the bus to Golden Gate Hotel.
On the way, Joshua logged onto Instagram.
He saw a clip, which had become a trending topic in New York.
He clicked on the clip.
It was Reagan and the security chief of Maple Properties who were licking the toilet.
The details were beyond words.
The comments section was flooded with words including “disgusting” and “shameless”.
Joshua logged out after a few seconds.
He sighed with emotion.
People like Reagan deserved to be punished like this, and he did not have any sympathy for them.
If it weren’t for his current status, he would have been bullied by those people much more harshly.
“The rich can indeed do whatever they want…”
Suddenly, he heard a ringtone.
His phone rang
It was Pamela.
Joshua pressed the answer button at once.
Pamela’s angry voice came from the other end. She said, “Where the hell are you?”
Joshua said, “I just came out of the hospital. I’m on my way to eat something!”
“OK. How is your sister doing?”
“Her operation was quite successful. She’s fine now! And… thanks for the money you transferred this morning!”
Pamela was cold to Joshua, but she cared about him deep down.
Otherwise, she would have divorced Joshua already under Heidy’s instigation.
“Good to know. But I didn’t give the money to you. I lent it to you. You have to write me an IOU and pay me back! I want the interest attached as well!”
Joshua was speechless.
Pamela suddenly sighed. “Don’t forget that tomorrow is our family’s monthly meeting, You need to be present as well. I’ve heard that Giselle has found a new boyfriend, and she specifically asked you to show up tomorrow!”
She clicked her tongue and continued, “I know that they just wanted to show off! I’m so irritated!”
Giselle Windsor was Pamela’s cousin. Joshua knew Pamela was worried that she might be embarrassed by taking him there.
He was used to it.
“Maybe I can find a reason to skip it.”
But Pamela said firmly, “No! Giselle has been competing with me all the time since we were kids. I always win. If you don’t show up tomorrow, I’ll lose to her. I don’t want to see her smúg. So, you must go. I’ll transfer 300 dollars to you later. Go get some nice clothes, and show up earlier tomorrow…”
She hung up the phone.
Soon, Joshua received a text message, reminding him that he had received 300 dollars.
“Why do women always like to compete?”
Joshua sighed helplessly.
Ten minutes had passed.
The bus arrived at the bus stop not far from Golden Gate Hotel.
When Joshua walked to the parking lot of the square in front of the hotel, a white BMW suddenly rushed out.
Joshua dodged hurriedly.
He almost got hit by the car.
The white BMW pulled into a nearby parking space, and a woman in a low-cut dress and sunglasses got out.
She had a good figure.
And she was about the same age as Joshua.
Joshua wanted to open his mouth.
Yet the woman beat him to it. She pointed to him and scolded, “Are you fucking blind? What if you wreck my car? Can you afford it?”
Joshua felt unfair. “Come on! I was walking, and you were the one who showed up out of
the blue! You almost hit me!”
The woman in sunglasses was unreasonable. “I can drive however I want. It’s none of your business! The more I look at you, the more ill-intentioned you get! Were you trying to blackmail me?”
Joshua was so furious.
“We could take a look at your dashcam or the nearby surveillance cameras. If it looks like I was trying to blackmail you, i’ll compensate you. How does that sound?”
The woman sized Joshua up and spat on the ground. “Look at you. You are no different
from a beggar. How the hell can you afford to compensate me?”
Joshua turned to look at the white BMW. It was at most 66 thousand dollars.
Joshua had 160 million dollars in the bank. Even the daily interest was higher than the value of the car!
Joshua thought, woman, you can boast!
“We’ll see if I can afford that. Let’s take a look at your dashcam now!”
A trace of panic flashed across the woman’s eyes. She looked at her watch and said to Joshua impatiently, “Forget it! I have a dinner party to attend. I’ll let you slide. I’m so unlucky today! Bah…”
After that, she turned around and walked towards the door of Spring Restaurant.
Joshua smiled wryly.
The woman knew exactly that she was being unreasonable, and she didn’t dare to let him see the dashıcam.
She just had to be so stubborn.
He was speechless.
But he did not mind the small episode.
He walked to the door of the restaurant and saw the woman in sunglasses. She was talking to someone on the phone, saying that she had arrived and asking someone to
pick her up.
The woman in sunglasses hung up the phone.
Noticing Joshua beside her, she frowned and said disdainfully, “Why are you following me? Do you still want to blackmail me for money?”
Joshua rolled his eyes. “I’m here to eat!”
The woman in sunglasses sneered in disbelief, “Look at this place! It’s not somewhere you can afford! You pauper! Stop putting on airs, OK? If you want a seat here, you need to make reservations in advance! Otherwise, they won’t even let you in! Bumpkin!”
After that, she reminded the receptionist at the door, “This man here wanted to Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
blackmail me in the parking lot back then. I’m sure he is up to something. Just drive him away. What if he sneaks in and steals things from you?”
The two receptionists looked at Joshua, who looked like a loser to them, and scolded, “Piss off! Don’t stand in front of our restaurant!”
