I staggered and braced myself against the wall, while my cheek was stinging. At that moment, Miranda’s assistant rushed in and handed me an exquisite gift box.
"Sir, this was specially flown in from Italy by Miss Moon. Could you please stop making such a scene … "
So, the slap in the face was followed by a sweet bribe?
I couldn’t help but sneer, taking the gift box before handing it straight to Ralph.
"Take it. You don’t need to go to such lengths to win her over."
Miranda’s expression turned dark. She snatched the gift box, opened it and showed a set of priceless, high-end watches inside. Then, she personally fastened one onto Ralph’s wrist and then shouted at me, "Get out! I’ll never humiliate myself for you again!"
I turned to leave, but my mother-in-law blocked my way.
"Are you trying to run away now? You caused my granddaughter to be hospitalized and not even going to pay the medical bills?"
I quickly scanned the QR code to cover Olive’s hospital expenses, then asked her in despair, "Olive, why did you lie? You … "
Out of nowhere, she burst into tears.
"Get out! You’re a bad person! I don’t want you to be my dad anymore!"
