The Owen family, though considered wealthy, couldn't compare to those established industrial families when it came to influence. Fifty million was almost equivalent to Leah's five years' income.
She stomped her foot in frustration, evading her grandfather's reproachful gaze with a sense of grievance. Through gritted teeth, she insisted, "I won't compensate. If anyone should, it should be Cheyenne."
Kyson abruptly interrupted her, his voice stern and cold. "Enough! Don't you understand what you did wrong? Leah, you've been regressing these past few years. I've decided that these fifty million will be deducted from your account."
"Grandfather!"
"You don't have a say here."
It was the first time Cheyenne had seen Kyson angry. During their time together, the elderly man either had a indifferent face or a mischievous smile.
She hadn't expected his anger to be so terrifying and intimidating.
After obtaining the fifty million, Malaya satisfiedly lowered her voice. With a smug look, she said to Cheyenne, "I'll let you off today, but my Nora must receive the best care here. Otherwise, I'll expose this matter and tarnish your reputation."
Cheyenne shrugged indifferently, her voice icy. "Go ahead and expose it. I don't care. After all, this hospital isn't run by me."
Saying that, she elegantly covered her lips with a hand and let out a graceful yawn.
Taking two steps forward, she suddenly turned back, offering a friendly reminder to Malaya. "If you want to make a report, please do it quickly. It's already Friday today, and I'd like to leave work early so I don't have to come next week."
Upon hearing this, the passersby nearly burst into laughter. The director of the hospital was indeed too casual. It was clear that she was working here under duress.
Even Kyson, who was still in the midst of his anger, couldn't help but smile upon hearing those words. Maintaining a serious face on purpose, he said, "Maybe you don't care, but this hospital can't collapse. Otherwise, when my brother comes back, you'll leave him with no occupation?"
Cheyenne lightly chuckled as she caressed her delicate chin, her voice languid. "Well, Jonathan is at the age to receive his retirement funds. I'm just helping him liberate his hands and discover a new life."
Look at how she portrayed laziness so nobly, to the point where Malaya was momentarily speechless by her harsh words. If she were to expose Leah's lack of medical skills, it would undoubtedly expose the incident of Nora's miscarriage, which was highly detrimental to her.
However, if she were to quietly accept the money and settle the matter, she would be unwilling to let Cheyenne get away without paying any price.
While Malaya hesitated about what to do, she caught sight of a tall figure preparing to leave the hospital from the corner of her eye. Her expression changed immediately.
How could Mr. Parry leave? The child was his, and Nora was still unconscious. How could he leave on his own?
"Wait for me, Mr. Parry."
Malaya no longer had the mind to tangle with Cheyenne. What she was worried about now was something else entirely.
Quickly picking up her handbag and stepping in her high heels, she hurriedly chased after him.
The sound gradually grew faint and eventually disappeared without a trace.
Police Station.
"Let go of me! Do you even know who I am? I'm Miss Parry, from the Parry family!"
"My brother is the famous Teagan, the CEO of the Parry Group. You trash really think you can catch me? How laughable!"
"Brother, please save me! These idiots dared to take away my phone. It's infuriating."
With each sentence, the woman's originally loud and sharp voice grew hoarse and low.
Nevertheless, she kept on cursing relentlessly.
C"I don't care who your brother is, all I know is that you need to behave!"
The police baton struck the metal railing, creating a loud noise that seemed even more piercing in this confined space.
