Chapter 50 Apology
Tristan? An icy look flashed across Finnegan’s eyes when he heard the voice.
Bernice recognized the voice as well. “That’s Tristan, no? What is he doing here?”
Finnegan concealed the look in his eyes and calmly picked up his cup. “Killian had fallen. sick, and none of the medical experts could cure him. I guess Tristan is here to ask Mr. Magnussen for help.”
Having learned about Finnegan’s situation over the past few days, Jerome knew about the grievances between Finnegan and the Chomsky family.
Jerome then rose to his feet and put on a grim expression. “Master, please enjoy your drink. I’ll shoo them away.”
“Hi, Dr. Magnussen!” Tristan greeted enthusiastically when he saw Jerome. However, one could tell Tristan was faking it.
With a nonchalant look on his face, Jerome looked at Oscar and the dozen of b*dyguards. from the Chomsky family indifferently. “Mr. Chomsky, you brought a large group of people with you, haven’t you? What is it that you want?”
Tristan frowned in displeasure when he sensed Jerome giving him the cold shoulder.
However, Tristan quickly remembered what he was there for, so he laughed it off and said, “I heard you’re providing treatment for the sick again, Dr. Magnussen. I brought ten million. with me, and I hope you can treat my son, Killian. Also, my friend here, Oscar, would like to- get treated.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know how!”
Tristan thought Jerome would surely agree to provide treatment, but Jerome rejected him. unhesitatingly.
Tristan froze momentarily because he thought he had misheard Jerome.
Oscar, who was also hoping to get treatment, uttered in a deep voice, “Dr. Magnussen, you’re one of the top ten doctors in Loang, so you’re definitely a brilliant doctor. How could you say such a thing when you haven’t even taken a look at your patients? Don’t you have an obligation to save lives?”
Tristan suppressed his displeasure and chimed in. “I hope you can treat them, Dr. Magnussen! If you want more money, I can double the amount to twenty million!”
Jerome was unfazed. While waving dismissively he said, “Please leave. You’re right. I have an
1/4
obligation to save lives. However, I don’t treat iminoral patients!”
“What are you talking about, Mr. Magnussen?” Tristan was no longer addressing Jerome with
the same tone.
“Nothing. Please leave!” Jerome gestured for his guests to leave.
Being an influential man in Jadeborough and a founder of a company that was worth tens of billions, Tristan wasn’t happy with the disrespect shown by Jerome. “Mr. Magnussen, over the past two years, you’ve crossed countless people when you declined to treat them. Are you sure you want to reject me as well?”
“What’s the matter, Mr. Chomsky? Are you threatening me?” Jerome sneered.
Seeing how things had turned out, Tristan didn’t see the point of pretending anymore. In an indifferent tone, he replied, “Jerome, I was afraid of you two years ago. Now, however, you’re no longer as celebrated and admired. Why can’t I threaten you?”
In the next second, Tristan waved his arm and ordered, “Follow me to the General Hospital now to treat my son! Otherwise, your reopening is going to turn out badly.”
Jerome was an ethical doctor who wouldn’t sit on his hands and watch others die.
However, he wasn’t going to budge after learning about the grudge between Finnegan and the Chomsky family. “I’m sorry. I’m not treating your son. Please leave the clinic!”
“How dare you turn me down? You’re asking for it!” Tristan yelled.
Having come a long way to get to where he was, Tristan was undeniably ruthless. He then turned around and instructed his b*dyguards, “Trash the place! Destroy everything in sight until this old man says yes to me! Let’s show him the consequences of disrespecting me!”
“How dare you?” Jerome fumed.
“There’s nothing I’m afraid of in Jadeborough,” Tristan sneered.
“Is that so? You’re a proud man, aren’t you, Mr. Chomsky?” Finnegan appeared behind and asked, “I wonder what would happen if the top ten prominent families were to hear what you said. Would they consider the Chomsky family the most powerful family in Jadeborough?”
Tristan abruptly turned around and instinctively took two steps back when he heard. Finnegan’s voice coming from behind.
Needless to say, Tristan was infuriated. “What are you doing here?” he asked with a scowl. I thought I could get Oscar’s seniors to deal with Finnegan Who would’ve thought that we would bump into each other here?

Oscar’s expression also turned grim, and his gaze was filled with malice.
Finnegan then stepped forward and smiled. “This is my clinic. Why shouldn’t I be here? Did I hear you ask your men to trash my clinic, Mr. Chomsky?”
“Your clinic?” Tristan was confused.
In response, Finnegan pointed at the business license hanging on the wall Bernice had obtained a couple of days prior. “I know you’re an arrogant man, but could it be that you’re also illiterate?”
Tristan glanced at the business license and saw Finnegan’s name on it.
A deep crease appeared between his brows, and he knew there was no way Jerome would provide treatment.
Upon shooting Finnegan a cold glance, Tristan turned around and said to his men. “Let’s go!”
Tristan knew he couldn’t afford to offend Finnegan. I’ll just wait for Oscar’s seniors to get here to teach Finnegan a lesson.
“Stop right there!” Finnegan demanded. “Do you think you can just leave after threatening someb*dy?”
Tristan turned around to ask, “What do you want?”
Hearing that, Bernice tugged at Finnegan’s shirt and said, “Just let it go.”
Bernice didn’t want to have to get them out of the police station again.
Finnegan patted Bernice’s hand to calm her down before shooting Tristan a vicious look. “Apologize to Mr. Magnussen. Otherwise, you’re not leaving.”
“Do you really want to have a fallout between us, Finnegan?” Tristan asked.
“Does that make a difference?” Finnegan sneered.
