“What are you doing?!”

Melody bellowed, “Who are you to hit her?”

?

“Yeah! Who are you to hit me? I’m going to sue you!”

Belle started to fight Jeremy, looking like she had gone crazy. She had never been slapped before in her entire life, until today!

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Jeremy slapped Belle three more times and shouted, “Just try to sue me! I’ll kill you if you dare curse my dad again!”

Belle’s husband George hurriedly grabbed Jeremy, trying to pull him off Belle.

Belle was red with fury as she was torn away from Jeremy’s clutches. “I’ll remember what happened today. The Murphy family won’t let you off easily!”

“Is that so? Give it your best shot! I want to see how the Murphy family stacks up against the Hayes family,” Jeremy sneered.

“The Hayes family?”

Belle was stunned.

George repeated, “The Hayes family?”

“Haha! My grandpa’s Joshua Hayes and my dad’s Jackson Hayes. What other Hayes family could there be?” Jeremy looked at Belle with amusement.

Belle gasped, horrified.

George turned pale, almost collapsing to the ground.

He was overwhelmed with the urge to divorce Belle right there and then!

‘The Hayes family!’

‘The Hayes family, out of all people!’

‘How dare Belle curse Jackson then follow up by threatening the Hayes family heir? She must have a death wish!’

The Murphy family was deep in thought. Armstrong changed his expression. Melody and Kaysen both looked in the other direction, pretending like they did not recognize Belle and George.

There was a flash of surprise in Miranda’s beautiful eyes as she realized, ‘Clarence knows the Hayes family?’

“Young Master Hayes, we’re sorry.”

George almost fell on his knees to apologize, not wanting any trouble with Jeremy’s family.

Belle was silent, hiding behind George and shivering like a weak chicken.

All her haughtiness and arrogance had vanished.

“Haha, for Brother Howard’s sake, I’ll let you off if you get down on your knees and admit your mistakes.” Jeremy looked at them coldly.

“Brother Howard?”

George and Belle shuddered and looked at Clarence in surprise.

Surprised, Belle said, “Young Master Hayes, are you mistaken? Clarence is the Murphy family’s loser son-in-law, yet you call him Brother Howard?”

“What did you say? How dare you call Brother Howard a loser?!” Jeremy was furious.

Belle recoiled back. “Clarence, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up and plead for me!”

George roared his agreement, “Clarence, the Murphy family has taken care of you. Aren’t you going to plead for us?”

Clarence just stood still, an amused smile plastered on his face as if he could not hear them. ‘What does this have to do with me?

‘Belle’s vicious mouth cursed Jackson, not mine.

‘Belle messed up, but I have to clean up her mess for her?

‘Who does she think she is?’

Miranda tugged at Clarence’s sleeve. “Clarence, we’re a family...”

“Oh.”

Clarence’s heart softened, and he sighed, “Jeremy, forget it.”

“Okay.” Jeremy nodded.

The Murphy family members were all wearing weird expressions. ‘What has Clarence done to keep Jeremy wrapped around his little finger? How did he get Jeremy to give up on the apology he wanted, with just three short words?’

As mixed emotions were beginning to cloud their hearts...

Greyson walked out of the emergency room. “The patient’s in danger. We can only continue the operation after a consent form is signed. Otherwise...”

“What?”

Armstrong’s eyes rolled back in his head, and he nearly fainted.

‘Signing the consent form. Does that mean Peony’s...’

“Mom!”

Belle, Melody, and Miranda screamed in unison, their faces frozen with fear.

Clarence looked into the operating room with his x-ray vision. Peony was indeed in a critical condition.

However, it was not hopeless. If he entered the operating room now, there was at least a 90% chance he could save Peony’s life.

“Let me give it a try!” Desperate to save her, Clarence was poised to rush to the operating room.

Greyson stopped Clarence and roared, “What are you doing? This is an operating room, we’re trying to save a life here! You have no right to barge in!”

“Clarence, stop causing trouble. Go away!” roared Belle.

“Hurry and get the f*ck out of here! Get the f*ck away from us, you jinx!” Melody shouted at the top of her lungs.

George and Kaysen rushed forward to grab Clarence firmly.

Clarence yelled, “What the hell? Mom’s in critical condition right now, I have to save her!”

“Save? Are you a doctor? How exactly are you going to save her?

“You just want to go in there to kill Mom once and for all!

“Clarence, when the hell has the Murphy family ever wronged you? You have such a wicked heart!”

Belle scolded Clarence with a pointed finger almost poking his face, utilizing all the anger she had toward Jeremy and using Clarence as an outlet.

“Miranda, I can save Mom...” Clarence looked at Miranda.

Miranda closed her eyes in pain. “Clarence, I’m begging you, please stop!”

Clarence was disappointed, but no longer tried to run into the operating room.

George and Kaysen let Clarence go when they felt him relax.

“You still don’t believe me.” Clarence shook his head helplessly.

“It’s not about whether I believe you, but even Dr. White said Mom is in big danger. How do you plan to improve her odds of survival?

“Just like what the rest are saying... Stop it, Clarence.” Miranda shook her head, feeling exasperated at her husband again, as she had so often felt in the past.

The door to Jackson’s ward suddenly flew open, and several of the attending physicians stepped out. “Sorry, we did everything we could, but Mr. Hayes...”

The doctor shook his head. “Prepare his funeral!”

“What?”

Helena shuddered and fell to the ground, her eyes going dark.

“Dad... Noooo...” Ginny continued to weep from where she was.

Jeremy rushed to Clarence and fell to his knees. “Brother Howard, I know my parents were wrong about things earlier, but he’s still my dad!

“Brother Howard, I beg you. Save my dad!”

Clarence frowned and looked into Jackson’s emergency room.

He saw Jackson lying on the operating table, his vital signs very faint. His heart had stopped beating, and he was practically dead already.

“The doctors said it was hopeless...” Belle whispered.

Jeremy, who had good ears, heard her and bellowed, “B*tch, if my dad is dead, I want you to die with him!”

“Brother Howard, please! Please!” Jeremy switched his attention back to Clarence, bowing to him.

Clarence stopped him. “You can stop now. I’ll give it a try.”
