Hearing this, Estelle frowned and said, “It’s not Tim. Who I want to save has nothing to do with you. Just sign the agreement.”
“It’s not Tim? Then who is it?” York asked as he read the donation agreement. “Forget it. I won’t ask if you don’t want to tell me. By the way, I have another requirement.”
“Say it.”
“Apologize to Mr. Klein.”
“What?” Estelle frowned tightly and darted a surprised look at him.
“Back then, Tim beat him up at the golf course for you. Not long after that, you went abroad. Mr. Klein couldn’t find you, so he vented all his anger and hatred on me. These years, he always sent his men to torture me. You must meet him and ask for his apology and explain to him that what Tim did has nothing to do with me. Tell him not to bother me anymore,” York expressed his additional condition.
What had happened at the golf course was still vivid in Estelle’s mind. Thinking about it, she couldn’t help clenching her fists.
‘If I go to apologize to Mr. Klein, he would definitely seek revenge. Mr. Mysterious has disappeared. If I’m in danger, no one would save me then,’ Estelle thought to herself.
“Are you afraid?” York said as he looked at her provocatively and threw the donation agreement on the ground. “If you don’t go to apologize to him, then I won’t donate my liver. I have no duty to save that person. Just let him die. Alas, what a poor man he is. No one can save him, and he has to die tragically young… Find a good place to bury his body, or he will not be able to rest in peace…”
“Stop it! Where is Mr. Klein now?!” Estelle snapped, interrupting him.
York raised his eyebrows and asked, “Are you going to see him?”
“Cut the crap. Tell me where he is now.”
Looking at the time, York said, “He may be enjoying himself at Peacock Entertainment Club at this hour. You can go there and try your luck.”
Estelle felt a chill all over. With a darkened face, she picked up the donation agreement from the ground and threw it at York with all her strength.
“I’ll go to apologize to him now. Sign the agreement before I come back, or you won’t get a penny from me!”
When Estelle was about to leave, she heard noises coming from outside.
“They came here again?”
“Did the patient in that ward offend a big shot? Why do these people come here from time to time? They look so frightening…”
“This is a hospital! Why didn’t the security guards stop them? Call the police!”
“It’s useless to call the police. Someone called the police before, and the police detained a batch of people. But the next day, another batch of people came. And it’s said that those arrested before were released after just a few days of detention.”
Bang!
Someone kicked open the door of York’s ward before Estelle figured out what happened. Then she saw York suddenly shrink back to the corner of his bed with horror in his eyes. The next moment, more than a dozen strong men in black came in and locked the door.
“Mr. Grantham, long time no see. How’s your arm now?” Playing with the Swiss Army knife in his hand, Mr. Klein asked.
Seeing the man in front of him, York trembled with fear and said, “What else do you want? You have broken my arm many times.”
“Mr. Grantham, look at the scar on my head. Don’t you think you should compensate me? “Mr. Klein growled and sneered.
“Mr. Klein,” York said as he knelt on the bed. “The person who hurt you was not me!”
“I know it was not you,” Mr. Klein said, “Your niece is so charming that she was with Cristofer at first and then hooked up with Tim. I can’t afford to offend either Cristofer or Tim, so I can only vent my anger on you.”
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Estelle, who was standing with her back to him.
“Who’s this? This lady is here to visit you? Wow, she smells good,” Mr. Klein slowly walked closer and laughed.
Hearing the familiar disgusting laughter, Estelle felt sick.
“Mr. Klein, my niece is back!” York quickly uttered, pointing at Estelle. “If you have any grudge against her, just get even with her. What she and Tim did has nothing to do with me!”
Hearing this, Mr. Klein immediately cut the distance between Estelle and him. The moment he saw her face, his eyes brightened. “Oh, it’s you, Miss Hudson.”
Estelle caught a whiff of cheap perfume and something fishy as he leaned toward her, making her feel nauseated. She took a step back to distance herself from him and took a deep breath.
“Mr. Klein, I’m sorry if I offended you before and caused you harm. What happened had nothing to do with my uncle. Please, spare him,” she said.
Mr. Klein burst into laughter as if he had heard something amusing. “Haha! Do you still consider him your uncle? Have you forgotten that he took over your father’s company? I remember he used to talk about how beautiful you are in front of me and mentioned wanting to introduce you to me.”
Hearing this, Estelle sneered in her heart, ‘It is quite typical for York to maintain a cooperative relationship with others in such a despicable way. No wonder you wanted to rape me last time.’
“I knew you were beautiful and charming. But you were still with Cristofer at that time. Even if I want to ‘make friends’ with you, I didn’t dare to do that!” As Mr. Klein said the obscene words, he looked at Estelle with an evil leer.
“When you reached out to me after divorcing Cristofer, I was delighted. But I never anticipated you’d be involved with Tim. He struck me on the head, leaving me bedridden in the hospital for three long months. Miss Hudson, you certainly have a way of stirring things up!” Mr. Klein said with a sinister grin.
With her lips tight shut, Estelle tried her best to restrain herself from vomiting and turned her face away. Then she said, “Mr. Klein, please spare my uncle. I’ll compensate you for the suffering and loss I caused you.”
Seeing her take the blame for York again and again, Mr. Klein asked doubtfully, “Has York got something on you?”
Estelle didn’t say anything.
Mr. Klein continued, “I have some questions for you. Answer them honestly, and I’ll consider sparing York.”
“Okay. Mr. Klein, please go ahead.”
“Have you broken up with Tim?”
