After Peony and the others left, Clarence’s expression calmed down.
He did not have much anger, only endless disappointment.
Clarence was used to their behavior but had not expected them to get worse. They were getting crueler every time.
He had just pretended to be angry to get rid of Peony and the others.
Ten minutes later, Miranda called him and asked, “Clarence, who are you to scold my mom?”
Clarence explained coldly, “Mom came over with a bunch of people and offered to rent Thirteen Hall for five thousand dollars.
“William maliciously reported Thirteen Hall, yet Mom stood up for him, saying he meant well. Do you think I can stand for that?”
Miranda had just signed a five hundred million deal, so she was feeling confident.. “Why can’t you stand for that?
“You’ve put up with it for years.
“I don’t care what your reason is. You’ve scolded my mom, so you have to apologize to her.”
Clarence did not bother to talk to Miranda. He just hung up and turned his phone off.
There were no patients in the afternoon because of the Food and Drug Administration’s fiasco this morning.
Clarence was happy to be idle. He sat alone in the hall of Thirteen Hall, drinking a cup of tea.
Suddenly, a figure rushed into Thirteen Hall. “Brother Howard, there you are. Why did you turn off your phone? I’m dying of anxiety.”
It was Jeremy, drenching in sweat and looking worried.
“What’s the matter?” Clarence asked casually.
Jeremy shook his head. “I’m fine. I’m just worried about you.”
He leaned closer. “I heard the FDA just came to seal up Thirteen Hall and arrest you.
“I couldn’t get through to you on the phone. What happened, Brother Howard?
“If you have any trouble, just let me know. The Hayes family has some power.”
Clarence’s heart melted. He had not expected an outsider like Jeremy to care about him.
“It was nothing serious. I just got reported. I’m alright now that everything’s been cleared up.” Clarence smiled lightly. He did not want to talk about it much.
It was a personal matter, and he did not want to bother Jeremy with it.
Jeremy looked at Clarence in confusion. “Are you sure you’re alright?”
“I’m really alright.
“If something did happen to me and the FDA took me away, would I be having tea here?”
Jeremy nodded. Clarence was right. There was no way Clarence would sit around and drink tea if something happened.
Clarence changed the subject and asked, “How’s your sister?”
Jeremy laughed. “She’s fine now. My mom’s with her every day.
“My parents asked me to thank you, Brother Howard. We’ll visit you to thank you when we’re free.
“Brother Howard, you have nothing to do anyway. There’s a wine party tonight. Would you like to come with me?”
“What wine party?” Clarence was curious.
“There’s a well-connected woman who’s returned from abroad. Her father’s the richest man in Maple Country. She’s holding a wine party tonight to gather Mediterranean City’s youngsters together and make some friends.”
Jeremy winked. “Brother Howard, you can go. There will be lots of beautiful girls.
“There will also be A-listers and B-listers there.
“If you’re interested, I can introduce you to some to try tonight.”
As the Hayes Consortium’s heir, although Jeremy was hedonistic, countless female celebrities still flocked to him.
Clarence jested, “You’re messing around again after your kidneys have just recovered? Aren’t you afraid you won’t make it to forty?”
“Haha! Brother Howard, what is there to be afraid of? Don’t I have a miracle doctor like you?” Jeremy laughed.
Clarence shook his head and rejected the invitation. “I’m not going. I’m not interested in wine parties.”
He was still a little worried about Cecilia, so he planned to visit her at her villa after he closed up for the day.
When Jeremy saw that Clarence was not interested, he did not force it.
After Jeremy left, Clarence closed Thirteen Hall’s main door, planning to visit Cecilia.
Vroom… There was the sound of screeching brakes. A black Audi A6 had parked nearby to Clarence. Out rushed a man. His mouth was twisted up, his eyes were red, and his head was bandaged.
Seeing that Clarence was about to leave, River rushed over immediately. “Clarence, what have you done to me?
“Like you said, there’s something wrong with my body. You must have done something to me!
“If you can’t cure me, I’ll have someone shut down Thirteen Hall.”
River had gotten a toothache right after getting back from Thirteen Hall.
What had started as a minor toothache developed into a minor stroke when he was on his way to the hospital.
After hours in the hospital, the doctors still could not figure out what was going on.
River was a little scared. ‘What if it’s really what Clarence said?
‘Hospitalized for a week for serious illness.
‘Rotting and infested with maggots in a month.’
River was scared to death!
Therefore, he rushed out of the hospital and went back to Thirteen Hall.
Clarence looked at River with amusement. “Is this how you beg me?”
River froze, immediately growing furious. “Beg? I’m ordering you.
“It’s an order, you understand?
“Clarence, don’t do things the hard way while I’m still being nice. I have the power to shut down Thirteen Hall with one word.
“I can slap you with a charge of selling fake drugs. If it’s serious, you’ll spend the rest of your life in prison!”
Clarence simply stood calmly, all smiles. “Fine. Let’s see if I’ll go to jail first, or you’ll die with maggots infesting your body first.”
“Ahh!”
River was frightened, changing his attitude immediately. “Brother Howard, good old Brother Howard, Mr. Howard, Master Howard!
“I beg you. Please save me.
“I really don’t want to die!
“I was just joking. You’ll be like my second parent if you can save me!”
Somewhat amused, Clarence stopped teasing River. “Take the bandage off your head.”
“Okay.”
River dared not hesitate.
“Stand still,” ordered Clarence.
River stood as straight as a schoolboy.
Clarence walked up to him and slapped him.
Smack…
“You!” River was furious. “Why did you hit me?”
Smack…
Smack…
Clarence ignored him and slapped him hard twice more.
River almost went berserk. He pointed at Clarence’s nose. “It’s alright if you don’t save me. How dare you slap me?! I think you really don’t want Thirteen Hall to be open for business anymore!”
Clarence pulled out a tissue, wiped his hands with it, and threw it into a trash can by the roadside. “Look at your face before you speak.”
River subconsciously touched his face. “Huh? My mouth isn’t crooked anymore?
“No more toothache and no more dizziness.
“What’s going on? Amazing! It’s amazing. Miracle doctor, you’re really a miracle doctor. Can slapping cure illnesses? Am I completely cured?” River was a little excited.
Clarence could have just used Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture to flush the neurotoxins out of River’s body.
However, River had been arrogant, so Clarence wanted him to suffer a little.
“Of course not. You need to be slapped for at least another week.” Clarence shook his head and headed for his Ferrari by the roadside. “Come to me every day for the next week before I open for business, and I’ll detoxify you.
“Remember, don’t try to detoxify yourself. Only I can cure this.
“If you slap yourself, I won’t care if the toxins spread to other places.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Clarence stepped on the gas, and the Ferrari sped away.
River stood there, dumbfounded.
‘Am I, the head of the FDA, supposed to come to Thirteen Hall every day and have Clarence slap me thrice to cure my illness?’
