The sky was just starting to brighten up the next morning at sunrise.
Selina’s people got to work. A bunch of patients lined up at Thirteen Hall’s entrance, holding up dozens of signs.
The people who had had their hands broken at Thirteen Hall were all bandaged up and shouting for justice.
Television reporters and livestreaming influencers had set up their livestream equipment, ready to go live.
“Open the door, unethical doctor!”
“You’ve beaten people up. You killed someone and still dared to lay a hand on your patients after that. We’ve reported you, and everyone’s here to defend their rights. So you dare to beat people up but not to open the doors?”
“Unethical doctor, open the door if you have the nerve!”
Hundreds of patients gathered outside Thirteen Hall’s entrance. The place was bustling.
In Humanity Hall across the street, Selina sat elegantly, sipping her morning tea and eating breakfast as she waited in her crystal high heels.
Standing behind Selina were some of Mediterranean City’s local billionaires. The Murphy family was also here.
The nearby Lisa sneered. “I can’t believe we have to expend so much effort to deal with this kid.”
A charming smile flashed across Selina’s face. “I’m going to make sure he’s beyond redemption.
“This is just an appetizer. He’ll have more than enough to suffer through once all the shockwaves of today hit him again later on in life.
“I want him to kneel and beg me today!”
Just then, Clarence opened Thirteen Hall’s door and appeared with Gunther by his side. The rioters from yesterday took a dozen steps back.
Clarence looked at the crowd with amusement. “Are you guys here to cause trouble again?
“Did you not learn your lesson yesterday?”
A man looked at Clarence angrily. “Everyone, look. As a doctor, how can you be so proud of beating people up?
“Hurry and film this, everyone. Post his ugly face online!
“Let the world see what Thirteen Hall’s doctor is really like.”
Click click click…
Lights flashed.
Many reporters started taking pictures, and some popular live streamers went live and slandered Thirteen Hall further.
“Quack!”
“Thirteen Hall also sells fake drugs!”
“Thirteen Hall killed someone.”
Clarence was undaunted. “Even if you’re going to slander me, you have to prove it, don’t you?
“Is it fun to make false accusations without evidence?”
“Who says we have no evidence?” A loud voice ran out, and a young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties walked over with a cold smile on his face. He was dressed in a suit and was pretending to be someone he was not.
Clarence’s face darkened slightly. “Gerald?
“It’s you.”
In Humanity Hall across from the scene, Selina crossed her sexy legs, her black silk stockings overlapping one another. “Look, the show’s starting.”
Gerald chuckled. “Clarence, you didn’t expect this, did you? Yes, it’s me.”
He looked around and suddenly shouted, “Thirteen Hall’s owner Clarence grew up in the same orphanage as me. Then, he started dating in junior high. He knocked a girl up, and she jumped off a building!”
Gerald’s voice was like a bomb.
Everyone exploded in an uproar.
“What?”
“He started dating in junior high and made a girl jump off a building after knocking her up?”
“F*ck, how can there be such a terrible person?”
Everyone around them made angry faces.
Gerald stood on his moral high ground. “Clarence, I’ve buried this in my heart for ten years, but I still remember what happened.
“You’re the one who killed Sophie!”
Gerald’s eyes were red.
“No way.”
“Is Dr. Howard someone like that?”
“No way, Dr. Howard’s a nice guy… How could he have done that?”
The neighbors of Thirteen Hall began to talk, saying they did not believe Gerald.
They had gotten to know Clarence recently.
However, doubt had also been planted inside their hearts.
Clarence’s face was grim. “Gerald, is there something wrong with you?
“Sophie told you about how she was raped by Donald, yet you claimed she seduced him. What does this have to do with me?
“Could you be any better at making up lies?”
Gerald stepped forward and lowered his voice. “I know. Sophie told me first, but so what?
“How could we fight the Wright family?
“That’s why we called you stupid. You offended the Wright family, and now you’ve offended Selina. Who else is going to die, if not you?”
With that said, Gerald grinned and retreated into the crowd, shouting, “I know Clarence all too well. He never finished junior high and he lived on the streets.
“Three years ago, he got lucky and saved Old Master Murphy, so he got to join the Murphy family.
“Within those three years of marriage, he stole countless jewelry from the Murphy family and had an affair with other women while he was still married.
“The Murphy family kicked him out, and he started Thirteen Hall with the money he had cheated from other women!”
Gerald looked righteous. “Tell me, how can someone with no medical skills run a clinic?
“Isn’t it just murder to allow him to give people medical treatment?”
Clarence had embarrassed Gerald at the car dealership last time, so he was trying to get his payback now.
Swoosh…
All of a sudden, all the television stations’ cameras and livestreamers’ phone cameras were on Clarence.
Seeing that the time was right, Selina waved her hand gently as she sat in Humanity Hall. “Peony, it’s your turn.”
Peony laughed. “Ms. Lawson, we had an agreement that you’d give the Murphy family the ten billion deal if we testified.”
“Of course.” Selina smiled faintly.
Without any more hesitation, Peony rushed out of Humanity Hall and appeared in public with her daughters and sons-in-law. “Gerald’s right. Clarence was the son-in-law of the Murphy family. My daughter married Clarence.”
Swoosh…
The neighbors’ eyes all fell on Peony.
All kinds of livestreaming equipment also pointed at Peony now.
Peony looked disgusted. “This little loser has always been lazy and a thief.”
Belle nodded. “Yes, a diamond necklace worth more than thirty thousand dollars disappeared from my dresser one day.
“I checked the surveillance. Clarence took it.”
She began trumping up charges against him.
Melody folded her arms, and her face was full of disdain. “He stole my new iPhone too.
“And the change I kept on the table would sometimes disappear. It was also Clarence who swiped it.
“We were a family, so I was ashamed to point it out.”
Kaysen came forward. “Clarence once borrowed thirty thousand dollars from me to buy a luxury item and still hasn’t paid me back.”
George said, “I saw this kid poking around in Mom and Dad’s wallet before.”
The Murphy family came forward to expose Clarence. Their evidence was irrefutable.
Clarence’s face darkened. He had not expected the Murphy family to stab him in the back when he had already left them!
‘Where’s Miranda?
‘Is she here too?
‘Where is she?’
Peony added, “He cheated on my daughter!
“Take a look at this photo. It was taken when Clarence was with his mistress.”
Peony pulled out dozens of photos of Clarence and Cecilia together.
However, they were photos of Clarence and Cecilia after his divorce from Miranda.
“Huh? How could he be someone like that?”
“I thought he was a kind man!”
“Oh! We may know one’s face but not their heart. I’m not going to trust Thirteen Hall anymore!”
After seeing the photos, Clarence’s neighbors sighed and chose to believe the accusations, no longer doubting them.
Everyone looked at Clarence with disappointment and disgust.
Seated in Humanity Hall, Selina snapped her fingers.. “Amp it up! Let’s get the real show started.”
