Chapter 1421
"No can do," Winter said, scowling even before Frank could answer. "I still have plenty of matters to take up with these people!" "Wake him up," Frank said, pointing at Claude and clearly intending for his father Liev to do it.
"Claude? Claude?" Liev quickly shook Claude.
However, Claude was not waking up, and Liev felt as if a blade was hanging over his head, seeing the darkening gaze in Frank's eyes.
Clenching his jaw, he raised his wrist and slapped his son across the face!
Smack!
The slap finally woke Claude, and he immediately realized what had happened. He clutched his face and stared at his father in disbelief.
"Dad... You slapped me?!"
In his memory, his dad had constantly spoiled him and never so much as laid a finger on him.
It naturally left him flabbergasted to see his father slap him as so many others watched now!

Liev could certainly see how miserable his son was, but his rage flared again as he remembered that Claude was the reason he got caught in this hot pile of mess.
Smack!
Slapping Claude viciously again, he bellowed, "Yes, I slapped you, you little prick! Do you think we'd be in this situation if not for you?!"
"Enough."
Winter strode up just then, stopping the altercation between father and son.
Glancing at the trembling Jet, she folded her arms before her chest as she looked at Claude, "So? Are you going to kneel and beg to pay for Lydia's father's medical bills along with the equipment you damaged in this hospital?"
"I..."
Claude felt endless humiliation as Winter's came good on her threat-all he could do now was to obey, paying the medical bill and any damages he caused to the hospital.
It certainly hurt him more than killing him.
"What are you hesitating for, you little wretch?!"
Liev smacked his son on the back of the head, seeing that he was actually hesitating. "You're the one who caused trouble here! Don't you think you should pay?!"
Then, flashing a fawning smile at
Winter, Liev assured her, "Don't worry, Dr. Lawrence. Our family will pay for any damages caused to Zamri Hospital tenfold! If you
can
just be understanding and forgive us this one time..."
When he finished, Liev wheeled on his son and snapped, "Apologize already, you prick!"
'I'm... sorry, Dr. Lawrence... Please forgive me. I will pay ten times the damages..." Claude pleaded, his entire body stiff as wood as he kowtowed to Winter while feeling like his soul was drained. "Hmph. I warned you, but you refused to listen-you only have yourself to blame!"
Winter actually felt a little sorry seeing Claude's miserable state. However, she also knew that being nice to vite people like him was an insult to good people, and she definitely must not let these people off lightly.
"Also," she added, "your family has ruined our hospital's reputation, calling in so many thugs here. You're blocking the hallways and affecting our work here, and you have to pay us damages for that too!" "Yes, yes, of course." Liev nodded repeatedly.
Winter nodded. "And you, Jet Quaid..."
Jet's whole body flinched when Winter mentioned his name and watched as she flung the sheet Frank brought at his face.
