The Poor Billionaire

Chapter 87 Utter Bewildermen

Horace's roar echoed through the entire tarmac. Everyone, including Tobias and Donn, heard it clearly.

Donn was a smart guy. He already smelled a rat. He stared at Elmore intimidatingly and asked, "Dr.

Holland, didn't you say you are trying to catch mice? What was that strange sound just now? Or are

animals now able to speak human language?"

Without waiting for a response, Donn began to look for the source of that threatening voice. He looked

ahead only to notice that the medical staff was trying to conceal some people behind them. A frown

instantly appeared on his face.

"Well, that young man is the son of a cancer patient. He can't afford to pay the medical bills and he has

been quarreling with the hospital staff. He barged in here, so the security guards are trying to take him

away!" Elmore explained the situation based on Cowan's account of his quarrel with Horace earlier.

"Is that so?" Donn gave him a suspicious glance and commented, "Why then did he roar like that? It

seems you are telling lies. Dr. Holland, I want to find out the truth myself. Step aside!"

Hearing this statement, Tobias looked at Elmore and said apologetically, "Don't take offense, Dr.

Holland. You know, young people nowadays are so curious. They don't take someone's word for it.

Seeing is believing to them. Please allow him to have a look. Only then can he believe you."

Helplessness and anxiety flashed in Elmore's eyes. He couldn't afford to get into Donn's bad books. If

he wanted his hospital to continue striving, he had to obey his every whim. The Warren Infirmary's

research institutes were responsible for developing many extraordinary drugs in the country. The Rinas

Infirmary would be blacklisted if he offended the director now.

As a result, he had no choice but to agree to Donn's request. "Dr. Warren, that guy is going crazy now.

He can transfer his aggression to anyone. Please you have to be careful!"

"My safety is none of your business. Keep your advice to yourself!" Donna remarked coldly. Then he

walked forward.

When he got to where the medical staff was gathered, he commanded, "Step aside, everyone! You are

obstructing my view!"

The staff had formed a human barricade just to block Horace, Laila, and the security guards from the

view of the distinguished guests. Judging by the roar he just heard, Donn guessed that the quarrel was

serious.

All the doctors and nurses were at a loss on what to do now. They looked at Elmore with confused

eyes.

After he nodded, they quickly got out of the way.

At this time, Horace was trying to fight off the four security guards. His eyes caught glimpse of a man

coming in his direction. He pushed his opponents to the ground. He then seized the opportunity to run

toward Donn. "Hey, buddy. Are you from the Warren family? Please help me!" he said, gasping for

breath.

'You little piece of shit! Have you no brain? His surname is Warren. So he's definitely from the Warren

family!'

'Poor people disgust me. This guy is even more disgusting. How dare you ask such an important

person for help? Who the hell do you think you are? No worries. I know. You are just a pauper with no

brain!'

Some of the nurses cursed Horace out in their minds because his words sounded arrogant to them.

But Cathy and Donn didn't feel this way.

'Damn it! Horace was indeed the one that invited these top guns here. I knew that he was wealthy, but I

never expected that he was a member of that powerful family from Antawood. No wonder he has an

unlimited nine-star bank card!' Cathy stared at Horace and sighed.

"Fuck off!" Donn shouted at the security guards who were homing in on Horace again.

Although he didn't know Horace's identity, he guessed that he wasn't an ordinary person since he knew

about the Warren family. He decided to help him so he could get to know him.

The threat they received earlier still rang in the security guards' heads. They risked losing their jobs if

they failed to throw Horace and Laila out, so they didn't want to heed Donn's command.

Nonetheless, they were still hesitant because he was a big shot. They looked at Elmore with

questioning eyes.

Donn was mad when he saw that they were reluctant. He scolded the hospital's director, "Dr. Holland,

you are power-drunk. You dare to behave so arrogantly in my presence. Anyway, I'll protect this man

no matter what. I tell you what, you need my permission to throw him out!"

Elmore was stunned by this declaration. His heart was thumping against his chest, but he managed to

keep calm. He put on a fake smile. "Dr. Warren, you have misunderstood me. How can I be arrogant in

your presence? I would never do such a thing!" he said, waving his hand innocently.

Afterward, he continued, "Come to think of it, Dr. Warren. It seems fate made you and this man's paths

cross today. We can perform a surgery on his mother for free. What do you say?"

"You can go to hell with your free surgery! I don't need your quack doctor to operate on my mother!"

Horace shouted at him as soon as he finished speaking.

"Shut up, you brat. Why are you badmouthing our expert medical staff?" Cowan got short with him.

To him, this was the best opportunity to impress the superior and make himself noticed. He pointed at This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Horace and snorted, "Young man, why are you being so rude and ungrateful? Do you have any idea

how much you could save because of Dr. Holland? Four million dollars! Look at your shabby clothes.

I'm dead sure you have never seen that amount in your life! That reminds me. How did you get the two

million dollars you selfishly refused to release earlier? Something tells me you stole it!"

As if that was not enough, he added more coldly, "How dare you refuse the free offer? If you annoy me

further, I will increase the price to eight million dollars. I won't operate on your mother if you don't pay

me that amount. Better behave yourself. Humph!"

Cowan had heard about the Warren Infirmary before. However, he didn't know the inside information

and secrets because he wasn't part of the board in the Rinas Infirmary. He didn't like Donn. He felt that

he was too full of himself and that Tobias was above him in his ranking.

Another reason why he was scolding Horace was that he had scores to settle with him. He hated the

guts of this poor man. Tobias and Donn wouldn't be here for a long time, so he decided to defend

himself, Elmore, and the hospital at large.

"Eight million dollars? Are you being serious right now? A quack like you wants that large amount of

money? You are so funny!" Horace threw his head back and laughed.

As if he flipped a switch, his face changed and he berated Cowan, "Listen to me, you quack. I, Horace

Warren, don't lack money! I changed my mind about the surgery due to the low success rate!"

"Jesus! He's Horace Warren?" Donn murmured in shock.

The next second, he and Tobias sank to their knees at Horace's feet.

"Eh? What is going on here?" A sea of confused eyes stared at the men on their knees. They were

utterly bewildered.

Susie rubbed her eyes and looked at them again and again. "Gladys, are you seeing this too? Or am I

hallucinating? Are the two big shots really kneeling at the beggar's feet?" she asked her colleague.

"So, you see it too? I thought my eyes were deceiving me!" Gladys Avila responded.

It was at this time that Donn and Tobias kowtowed and greeted respectfully, "Mr. Warren!"
