Monica felt like biting her own tongue.
"D-Dr. Henderson... I was just too anxious..." She could only concede. "Please, tell me how much money it will take for you to save my son."
"Do you think your son's life can be measured in money?" Yolanda replied coldly. "I have plenty of money. I will save your son if you kneel and apologize to me."
Yolanda didn't actually need Monica to kneel and apologize for her to treat Adrian. After all, Adrian was innocent and shouldn't suffer because of his mother's arrogance.
But since Adrian wasn't in immediate danger, she didn't mind teaching Monica a lesson not to abuse her powers and step on others in the future.
"You bitch! You think a nobody like you can make me kneel and apologize?" Monica's face twisted with rage. She was used to being pampered, surrounded by people who flattered and fawned over her. No one had ever spoken to her like this, let alone demanded she kneel. "Listen—"
"Clearly, your pride is more important than your son's life," Yolanda interrupted, shaking her head. It seemed that Monica was beyond saving.
"You!" Monica's face flushed red. Of course, her son's life was the most important thing. She would give anything for him, but…
Just as Monica was struggling internally, the elevator doors opened once more.
"You fool! Kneel and apologize to Dr. Henderson right now!" Logan stormed out of the elevator. Knowing his wife's character, he only needed a glance at the scene in the hallway to realize that Monica had used her status to threaten Yolanda.
Their son's life was at stake, yet Monica still tried to pull rank.
Seeing the defiance on Monica's face, Logan furiously marched over and slapped her hard across the face.
