Both Tristan and his mother could discern the ridicule behind Crystal’s words. Thus, they were absolutely livid. Veronica angrily berated, “B*tch, how dare you mock us? Hmph; at first, I thought I could still give you a chance. But, it looks like trash like you will never be more than what you are! Fortunately, my son is not marrying you. Otherwise, it would have been the greatest humiliation to our family!”
On the other hand, Tristan nodded repeatedly too. Gritting his teeth, he said, “You’re nothing but a pretty face. Hmph; somebody like you doesn’t deserve to work at this hospital. Crystal Harrison, listen carefully: you’re fired! Pack up your stuff and get out of here! There is no place for you in this hospital!”
Pretending to be scared, Crystal cried, “Dr. Fields, please don’t threaten me! It wasn’t easy for me to obtain this internship opportunity! If you fire me, how am I going to explain it to my family?!”
What she said was the truth—she had a hard time trying to convince Joseph before he agreed to let her carry out her internship here.
However, Tristan thought that she was truly panicking. Thus, he scoffed, “Are you scared now? It’s too late! You shouldn’t have offended my mother! An uncultured swine like you should be taught a lesson. Otherwise, people might think that your parents brought you up poorly!”
Upon hearing those words, her expression changed. You can say all you want, but why did you drag my parents into this? Then, she warned in a low voice, “Tristan Fields, watch what you say!”
If she was her usual self, she would not hold back against him. However, her temper had become much more moderate after the incident at the Thousand Lakes Manor. Besides, she was in front of Matthew right now. She did not want his impression of her to worsen.
Veronica immediately glared at her. “Who are you asking to watch what he says? You’re just a trainee nurse. Do you think you’re a regular nurse here? Let me tell you this: even if you were confirmed as a permanent worker, you’ll still lose your job if I so much as said so! People like you don’t deserve courtesy from us!”
Crystal was incensed. However, she did not lose her temper. Instead, she said, “Alright; you’re amazing. I can’t afford to anger you, but I can avoid you. Please go on with your business. I’m leaving!” Returning to the office, she looked depressed as she said, “What’s with them? Matthew, why does your hospital have so many weirdos?”
Matthew was about to reply to her when he noticed Veronica and Tristan walking in. It just so happened that they heard what Crystal said. So, they were livid.
Veronica roared furiously, “Who are you calling a weirdo? B*tch, where are your manners?! How dare you curse at us behind our backs?! I’m warning you: this incident today won’t be solved just by having you leave this hospital!”
On the other hand, Tristan glared at Matthew. “Matthew, what is with the nurse in your department? Don’t you know how to teach the newcomers?! Don’t tell me you are unaware of the fact that newcomers should, at the very least, have respect for the doctors of this hospital? Is this the kind of behavior you teach the newcomers? Matthew, you better give me a proper explanation!”
Then, Crystal panicked slightly and quickly said, “D-Don’t go overboard! This matter is between you and me. If you want to solve our issues, then we should solve them between us. Why are you dragging Matthew into this?”
Veronica chuckled at her words. “Matthew? Look at that; aren’t you pretty close? Why? Did you enter this hospital through his connections?”
Similarly, Tristan sneered, “Hey, Matthew. Even you can pull some strings to get somebody into the hospital now? If I remember correctly, you were still cleaning the toilets half a month ago! That father-in-law of yours went through so much trouble to give Director Fleming a large donation and finally managed to put you into a good position in the hospital. Yet, you immediately start throwing your weight around? Have you gone mad? Don’t you know what kind of situation you’re in?”
