Chapter 164
To Eleanor, her words were insulting, but Liana was frightening.
Liana hurried to stand in front of Eleanor to apologize for her, “Ms. Valona, she didn’t know who you are, and that’s why she dared to say those words to you. I’m really sorry. Can you give her a break and let her off just this time?”
Liana’s humble plea made Eleanor even more guilty, “Dr. Terrill…”
She wanted to say don’t lower herself for her, but Liana stopped her, “Miss, you just came here to see me for some treatment and medicine. I don’t know you well. If you dare to say anything that will upset Ms. Valona again, I won’t treat you anymore!”
Liana was distancing herself from her, actually trying to protect her. Sensing this, Eleanor didn’t say anything more.
Although she felt that the woman in front of her was too arrogant, Liana seemed to be frightened of her. In order not to cause Liana any trouble, Eleanor had to swallow her anger.
Seeing this, Ms. Valona taunted her, “Dr. Terrill, you’re really a good friend. You can’t even protect yourself, yet you want to protect your patient.”
Liana immediately became depressed, lowering her head even more. Her clenched fists and heaving chest revealed her unwillingness to submit.
“Dr. Terrill, it seems like you’re not willing to give in?”
Liana quickly released her fists and shook her head, “How could I? Ms. Valona, you’re a socialite; how could I not submit?”
Joelle sneered, “If you’re willing to submit, then hand her over to me.”
Liana lifted her head in shock, “Take me away instead; she can’t…”
Eleanor was once kept by Bernard, how could she let Joelle take her to the club?!
Seeing Liana’s panic, Joelle smiled even more wickedly.
“Weren’t you saying you’re not close with her?”
“For someone you’re not close with, you’re willing to go so far as to become a hooker. That’s really too selfless.”
Liana took a deep breath, steeling herself, and through gritted teeth, she began to explain, “You see, she is one of my patients. I work at Mr. Laurence’s hospital, and it’s my responsibility to protect every patient. Ms. Valona, I implore you not to make things difficult for my patients…”
Ms. Valona burst into laughter before approaching Liana. With her delicate fingers, she hooked onto Liana’s swollen cheek from the slap.
“Oh, what a shame, Dr. Terrill now looks so hideous. My client at the club won’t appreciate it…”
No matter how Liana pleaded, it was clear that Joelle was resolute in taking Eleanor away. Liana’s expression darkened as she reached for her phone, intending to call Bernard.
However, Eleanor was one step ahead, swiftly dialing the police and addressing them directly, “Officer, this is Mercy Hospital, top floor, director’s office. There’s a procuress here trying to forcefully sell another woman. Please come and resolve this situation urgently.”
After hanging up the call, she coldly looked at Joelle, who had a look of disbelief, “Ms. Valona, right? I’ve recorded everything you said. Please cooperate here. The police will be here soon.”
It took Joelle a while to process, this bitch just called her…
“Procuress…you mean me?”
“You’re running a club, who else could it be?”
Eleanor didn’t know where she got the courage from, but suddenly she was no longer afraid of those with power and influence.
Joelle was so angry that her whole body trembled. This woman dared to mock her as a procuress!
She raised her hand to slap Eleanor but was stopped by Liana’s timely wrist grab.
Eleanor couldn’t take such a slap from Joelle in her condition.
Since Eleanor was not afraid to offend Joelle for her sake, neither was Liana. They might as well make a stand!
The two women coldly stared Joelle down, causing her to laugh in anger instead.
“Fine, really good. No one has ever dared to defy me in this world; you two are the first. Just wait and see!”
Joelle tossed this menacing warning, turned her head, and left, her domineering attitude sending chills down Liana’s spine.
