Elaine's face twisted into a disdainful grimace and she shouted, "Charlie, just shut up, you loser! Who do you think you are?! You have no say in this!" 4
She shot daggers at Charlie and growled, "Stop messing with Dr. Lynch's treatment. Get out!"
Charlie frowned in dismay.
At the same time, he thought, 'Could it be that Joshua was the first to buy the pill from Zachary? If so, he must be the one who sold the pill to Anthony Simmons for five million dollars, that dishonest and profiteering prick!' 6
Jason must have spent a lot of money to hire him.
At this moment, Jason sneered, thinking that he had something on Charlie, "Charlie, you deadbeat loser. You must be pretty good with your mouth, huh, since there's absolutely nothing you can do here? You and your bluff!" 5
Then, he slapped his hands together as if something struck his mind and said, "Oh, I get it! You questioned Dr. Lynch because you don’t want Uncle Jacob to get better!"
"Huh, I'm bluffing?"
Charlie could endure Elaine's ridicule and insult, but it didn't mean that he could do the same with Jason. He
sneered and replied, "I know Anthony and I've never heard him say he was cured by this idiot here.” 1
Jason laughed out loud. "Charlie, you're so funny! Did you say you know Anthony? You might as well say that you know the president of the United States!" 2
