Hospital.
Lincoln Green looked at Rose Taylor, “I will handle Aunt Claudia’s situation. You and Ruby take good care of your leg.”
“But darling, the families of the victims have said that if the compensation is not paid by the beginning of next month, they will expose and sue our Lincoln Pharmaceuticals. Once that happens, we…” Rose Taylor stopped here, looking troubled.
She was already in her forties. Yet due to excellent maintenance, she exuded a charm distinct from that of young girls, even more enticing.
If Rose Taylor had acted like this in the past, Lincoln Green would have surely softened immediately, comforted her, and then conceded.
But today, Lincoln Green first suffered a loss at the Piers, felt their clear coldness toward him, and then hit Aunt Claudia. Although it relieved some anger, it inevitably reminded him of his late wife. He didn’t respond to Rose Taylor’s words.
Seeing this, Rose Taylor was displeased. Yet, she changed the subject, “Darling, if you handle Aunt Claudia, will Abigail blame you again? That child protects Aunt Claudia very much.”
“She has already been dismissed. She is not allowed to step into the Green household again.” Mentioning Aunt Claudia and Abigail made Lincoln Green’s whole body uncomfortable.
The daughter, who had been so obedient before, now acting this way, must undoubtedly be due to Aunt Claudia’s indoctrination. How could he let this go easily? As soon as the house matter was settled, he would immediately sue Aunt Claudia for fraud.
By then, he had to let that brat see what she had really done wrong.
Thoughts flashed by and Lincoln Green’s face remained gloomy. “As for this compensation matter, you also know how much financial and material resources the company has invested in this project. Since you didn’t handle the compensation properly, you have to take full responsibility. I don’t want to hear any more rumors about Lincoln Pharmaceuticals.”
Lincoln Green was not a fool. He had already checked the company’s accounts. The compensation money was drawn from the company’s public account the last time. But whether it actually reached the test subjects only depended on Rose Taylor’s words.
In the past, he just turned a blind eye to it. But today, suffering losses from his daughter, and thinking about Ruby Green’s unethical methods of marrying into the Piers, it had also disgraced him. Feeling unhappy, his attitude hardened considerably.
“Darling, but I…”
“That’s final.” Lincoln Green left the ward after he finished speaking.
“Darling…”
“Dad!”
Both Rose Taylor and Ruby Green called out to Lincoln Green, but the ward door was already shut with a bang.
Ruby Green angrily threw the pillow away, “Mom, what does Lincoln Green mean?”
She didn’t even bother with calling him by any affectionate name, just Lincoln Green directly.
“What else could it mean? The old fox didn’t get money from Abigail and now takes it out on us!” Rose Taylor’s tone was also bad. Her tricks had always worked on Lincoln Green over the years, but today, she miscalculated.
Along with frustration, there was also a strong sense of crisis.
Ruby Green’s expression changed slightly, “Mom, what should we do then? Really pay? That’s three million.”
“How could we spit out what we’ve swallowed?” Rose Taylor said with a dark face. She had pocketed most of the compensation money herself. She didn’t expect those lowlifes to dare create a ruckus. But now, they must not let things escalate.
Thinking of this, Rose Taylor looked at Ruby Green, “How have you been recently in contact with Clark Stone?”
“Quite well. Mom, now arrange a blind date for that fat bitch?”
“Yes. But we need to set conditions first.” Rose Taylor, with a calculating look in her eyes, said.
Since that fat bitch would not give them the three million, then don’t blame them for selling her off.
