Chapter 424
“I will kill you!”
Huey thumped the floor angrily with a ferocious look on his face. He wished he could stand up and punch the man in front of him who dared to fool him.
But he couldn’t do anything at all. His body was still weak because of the effect of the anesthetic.
However, although he couldn’t move, he could speak.
When Corbin saw that Huey was too noisy, he called another nurse to come in. Then the two nurses worked together to get Huey back to bed.
The anesthetic gradually took its full effect, and now he couldn’t move even his lips. He could only stare at Corbin hatefully.
Corbin just looked at him indifferently and ordered coldly, “Alvin, please take care of him.”
Since Corbin worked for Maurice, Alvin was also respectful to him.
“Don’t worry, we will take good care of Mr. Layton. If we had known that he wanted to plot against Mr. Moran’s friend, we would have taken action earlier to prevent any trouble.”
“It’s not too late to do something yet. Since you already know what he is up to, keep an eye on him. I don’t want him to cause more trouble.”
Corbin looked at Huey lying on the bed like a corpse with only his eyes moving. He was delighted.
Huey’s lawyer outside the door had no idea what had happened. He was still dedicated to fulfilling the mission Huey gave him.
“Miss Marlin, I advise you to sign the agreement now.”
Nana crossed her arms over her chest and said confidently, “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to sign it.”
The lawyer was stunned for a moment. But then, he continued to threaten her, saying, “I advise you to accept my client’s proposal. Otherwise… You won’t like the consequences.”
While the two were confronting each other, Eliana suddenly patted Nana on the shoulder and whispered in her ear, “Nana, I have an idea.”
At this time, Eliana had calmed down, and her mind became clear, so she thought of an idea.
There was obviously something wrong with the hospital bill that Huey showed them. And his lawyer must know about it.
It was even possible that the lawyer forged it.
It only meant that… The lawyer had been conspiring with Huey from the beginning to deceive Nana.
At the thought of this, Eliana put the fake hospital bill in front of the lawyer and said aggressively, “Mr. Payne, since you are a lawyer, you should know the law better than we do, right? If I find a doctor to verify that this hospital bill is forged, we will take you as Huey’s accomplice when we bring this to court. Do you think a villain like Huey will find a way to save your ass by then?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Aldwin Payne, the lawyer, still tried to play dumb.
“Helping others to forge evidence is a grave offense. Your lawyer’s license may be revoked. You know that, right? Are you ready to take the risk?”
Upon hearing this, the expression on Aldwin’s face suddenly changed.
And when Eliana saw this, her suspicion became heavier. “Judging from the look on your face, could it be that… You don’t have a lawyer’s license at all?”
With a guilty conscience, Aldwin shouted, “Don’t talk nonsense!”
This time, Eliana confirmed her guess.
“If you are not a lawyer, who the hell are you then? If you don’t tell us, I’ll call the police right away. I want to see if the police will arrest me or you, a fake lawyer.”
Eliana took out her phone and pretended to call the police.
“No, wait! You can’t call the police.”
Aldwin was so anxious that he reached out to grab the phone in Eliana’s hand.
It was just a pity that Nana saw through his intention. She blocked him and shouted, “Eliana, call the police now. I want these frauds to be arrested.”
Eliana held up her phone and threatened, “Mr. Payne, I’ll give you one last chance. Are you going to tell us the truth or not?”
Looking dejected, Aldwin glared at her and snapped, “Fine!”
Eliana smiled. “Good! Tell us now.”
Aldwin sighed and said, “Actually, I’m not a lawyer. I’m just an unpopular actor. Huey hired me to do this. He paid me to act with him. Who would have thought that things would end up like this? I really didn’t mean to deceive all of you. It’s just that it’s not easy to make money these days, so I took this job. But I don’t want the money anymore. Just please don’t call the police.” He begged Nana and Eliana, looking sincere.
Then he took out the check Huey gave him, shoved it into Nana’s hand, and ran away. Soon, he disappeared from their sight.
Eliana and Nana stood there and watched him disappear. They were rendered speechless.
At this moment, Corbin walked out of the ward. He had already settled everything inside.
Nana immediately walked up to him with expectation in her eyes.
“You… Have you settled everything?” novelbin
“Corbin! You were that doctor?” Eliana exclaimed and covered her mouth in surprise.
She didn’t know what exactly was going on.
