"You want me to kneel?" Miranda was so angry that she laughed out loud instead. She pointed at Yolanda and asked, "Are you even aware of your situation right now?
"If you don't come with me to the Cavanaugh residence, they will bring you away and detain you. Then, they will interrogate you. You've killed Mr. Caldwell's bodyguard. You've crossed Mr. Caldwell.
"Your clinic would have been shut down today if it wasn't for me. You'd be convicted of murder. Not just you, but your friends and loved ones would also be affected by your foolishness and arrogance.
"How dare you still act high and mighty in front of me? Are you stupid?"
Miranda really couldn't understand why Yolanda would cling to her pathetic little ego—an ego that didn't feed her, nor have the ability to make sure she wouldn't be thrown in prison.
"Read the room, understand your situation, and hurry up. Go with me to treat my father. If your delay causes a detrimental change in his ailment, even if you beg for me to put in a good word for you with Mr. Caldwell, I won't do it."
Miranda was so certain that with her and Anna's troops pressuring Yolanda, she would eventually crack and relent.
When that time came, she would no longer be at the mercy of Yolanda's threats. On the contrary, she would make Yolanda kneel to beg her.
"Are you done yet?" Yolanda didn't have even an ounce of fear displayed on her face. She merely looked stoically at Miranda, like what she had just said had nothing to do with her.
"If you're done, go kneel outside. I don't like people who talk too much."
"You!" Miranda was so flabbergasted she had no words. She was trembling with rage and she no longer cared to maintain her upper-class reputation.
She pointed at Yolanda and screamed, "You bitch! Do you really think that I won't do anything to you?
"Let me tell you. Plenty of doctors are fighting for a chance to treat my father, and I didn't give them any chances at all. Don't you dare ask for a mile when you're only given inches!"
"I don't want this opportunity. You can just give it to someone who would want this." Yolanda was unbothered.
