Brandon turned around, and his smile instantly disappeared without a trace. His gaze also became cold. 

His tone was indifferent as he said, “So it’s Mr. Randolph. You’re in your sixties this year, right? Are you here for treatment? I wonder what illness you have. Is it treatable? If it can’t be treated, please don’t be sad. Prepare for your funeral early.” 

“You…” Mason Randolph was so angry that his face turned ashen. He sneered repeatedly and said, “You really haven’t changed at all. You are sharp–tongued and use biting words when you speak, never showing humility and courtesy to your elders. I really don’t know how your family raised you.” 

“Not at all. I’ve learned everything from you.” Brandon smiled. “You deserve to be treated like this by me.” 

“You…” Mason was furious. “This is a high–end private hospital. How can someone like you be allowed to come in and sell things? I’m going to protest to the hospital and have you kicked out.” 

“You won’t be able to have me kicked out,” Brandon said indifferently. “Our company has signed a partnership with the hospital. The products I demonstrated are all needed by the hospital. They are very popular with patients.” 

“I don’t believe you!” Mason shouted angrily before calling out to the nurses there. 

At this moment, a young girl squeezed out of the crowd and said, “Dad, I could hear your voice all the way from the ward. What happened? You spoke so loudly…” 

She stopped talking abruptly. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Brandon. 

When Brandon saw her, he frowned. He then turned to the elderly people and the patients‘ family members beside him and said politely, “Folks, this elderly gentleman is very emotionally unstable. I’m worried that if he flies off the handle, he might hurt you. Please head back to your wards now to rest.” 

When Mason heard this, he got even more furious. He scolded, “Laney just checked into the hospital, and here you are, showing up right after. You came here because you caught her scent, right?” 

“Dad, please don’t say that,” the young girl quickly said. With a tone mixed with surprise and a hint of caution, she contínued, “Brandon? It really is you. How come you are here? You have returned from studying abroad, huh?” 

Brandon did not avoid her. He was not excited or sad at all either. He just said coldly, “I came to the hospital to work. When your dad saw me, he shouted at me like a mad dog, acting high and mighty and looking down on me. He made it seem like I wanted to get back together with you. His attitude of thinking he is always right and imagining things without a real basis really annoys me.” 

He spoke without any restraint, showing total disregard for Mason’s dignity and leaving no room for compromise. 

He thought, ‘If I just act boldly, others will end up feeling awkward: 

The young girl’s smile froze, looking utterly awkward as she was at a loss for words to respond. 

The patients and their family members were about to leave when they suddenly heard this. They stopped in their tracks and looked at Brandon with surprise and a hint of excitement. 

They thought, “The usually polite and kind Mr. Donovan actually has such a mean and savage side? And the story he revealed was so dramatic… 

Mason’s face was ashen: “Brandon, you said it yourself. You said yourself that you don’t want to get back together with Laney. Everyone heard it. I hope you won’t go back on your word” 

“You’ve really gotten old, and your memory is failing,” Brandon mocked. “Four years ago, I swore I would never have any contact with Laney again. If it weren’t for you and Lancy initiating conversation with me just now, I wouldn’t have even

spared you a second glance.” 

Everyone thought to themselves, “The way he said that… is so harsh.’ 

Laney’s face was slightly pale. She said in a forced manner, “Brandon, at least we were classmates-” 

“Laney, why are you paying him attention?” Mason frowned. “He ended up as a salesman after returning from studying abroad. He has no future at all. You’re the heiress of Randolph Group, so don’t let him latch onto you.” 

Brandon watched coldly, not retorting. He just kept making disdainful sounds of “tsk“.

Laney said, “Dad, don’t be so harsh on him. No matter what, Brandon and I were high school and university classmates…” “Trust me,” Mason said sternly. “I’m absolutely certain I won’t get this wrong. He put on such a principled front, showing that he’ll never pester you. Well, that’s just to get your attention. You’re too naive. By seeing things that way, you are falling into his trap…” 

Brandon’s eyes were filled with cold hostility when he heard that. He was prepared to retort. 

Just then, a cold voice that sounded confident and had a slight foreign accent could be heard. “Mr. Randolph, there’s no need to worry. Brandon already has a girlfriend. His girlfriend is not inferior to your daughter in any way.” 

Everyone turned to look over, and their eyes lit up. 

A white–collar beauty with short, delicate curls and light makeup walked in. Tall and slender, she was dressed in a beige business suit. She walked up to Brandon gracefully, linked arms with him, and smiled at Mason, saying, “I’m Lindsay Dudley, Brandon’s girlfriend. I’ve just returned from studying overseas. My family background is definitely not inferior to the power and influence of Randolph Group.” 

“As for my appearance,” she continued with a smile, her face exuding a sense of class and mystery like that of a model, “people often say I look like a model, the kind who could be an international supermodel. I can’t be inferior to Miss Randolph, right? If you don’t believe me, you can ask around about my background.” 

Everyone looked her up and down and nodded, saying, “She does look like a model. She’s tall and beautiful.” 

“One is a rich young lady, and the other is a white–collar beauty with model material. Mr. Donovan’s luck with women is not bad…” 

Laney bit her lip upon hearing that, looking like she wanted to cry. 

Mason could not maintain a dignified appearance anymore. “Brandon, I was right about you,” he said. “You are a useless social climber! When you were studying in the country, you were focused on clinging to a wealthy heiress. After you were exposed, you went overseas and found a girlfriend with a powerful background. You’re really promising.” 

Brandon sneered. “Mason, do you know what you look like now? You’re like one of those pretentious, fake women, always telling others to get lost. But when they actually do and find someone else, you get upset. Then, you purposely show up in front of them, repeatedly asking them not to pester you. It’s absolutely disgusting” 

The crowd burst into laughter. 

Lindsay chimed in, “Mr. Randolph, you’re well past sixty, right? Your daughter is already in her late twenties. She says nothing, and you’re the only one who’s making a fuss. This will make people think that your daughter is a big baby and a daddy’s girl.” 

“You…” Mason looked really angry. “You two are really birds of a feather…” 

rest.” 

At this moment, a nurse walked in from outside and said, “Everyone, please speak quietly to avoid disturbing other patients‘
