Revenge Forged in Prison
Chapter 159: Everything Is Settled
Once the tweet was uploaded, it sparked a heated discussion among countless people. He’s a loser, isn’t he? Otherwise, why would he always resort to using violence? Is he so poor that he can’t even afford his hospital bills, having to rely on a woman for food and clothes? Did he hurt you? Did the nurse mention what kind of person he is?
Whisper replied: He’s an exceptionally unattractive man, with a tendency toward fits of rage. He lashes out at anyone he sees, to the point where even the nurses are afraid to approach him.
Immediately, there were comments below. Isn’t that terrifying? Despite his personality, the doctors still allow him to stay in the hospital. Aren’t they afraid of him causing a commotion? Could he be mentally ill? If that’s the case, he shouldn’t be residing in a regular hospital. Instead, he should be admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
Whisper then replied: The nurse mentioned that he’s a boy toy Madam Yardley has taken a liking to. The Quixall family has never approved of him to begin with. Plus, he’s always yelling at others. Now, he can’t even find a job. How could he possibly afford to stay in the hospital indefinitely?
That makes sense. If someone like him can be Madam Yardley’s boy toy, could my grandfather possibly be Madam Yardley’s husband?
Don’t just spout nonsense. It’s not easy being Madam Yardley’s husband, you know? Be careful, or you might find yourself in hot water with Madam Yardley.
Caleb was in pain from his injury, and as a result, he went to bed quite early that night. Consequently, he hadn’t seen any of the comments. Just because he didn’t see the comments didn’t mean that others hadn’t seen them either.
Gianna was so frustrated that her heart ached. She pleaded, “Dad, I’m begging you. Please help Caleb. He’s all alone, and he’s even getting bullied by people online. It’s truly heartbreaking!”
Phillip scoffed and responded, “I’m not helping him! I’ve made it clear that time that it would be my last time helping him. He always stirs up these troubles. Should others always have to bail him out?”
Gianna was upset. “Dad, if you keep being so stern, I might not like you anymore.”
Phillip was so furious that he was practically bulging his eyes out. “You’ve got some nerve! Don’t like me? If you don’t like me, I…”
Suddenly, he softened his tone and said, “Gia, it’s not that I don’t want to help him. This issue has blown up so much that if we step in, it might only fuel the public opinion even more. Do you understand?”
Gianna bit her lower lip, falling silent. I completely understand it… Once the Sherman family gets involved, the netizens will notice it. They will then say that Caleb has used disgraceful tactics to associate himself with the Sherman family. That’ll only end up hurting Caleb. However, am I supposed to just stand by and watch? His old wounds haven’t healed, and new ones have been added on top. There’s no one by his side to comfort him. I can’t imagine how much…
She lowered her gaze, a subtle thought of breaking their agreement beginning to stir within her. Having lived with Gianna for many years, Phillip was well aware of her little secrets and quirks. Hence, he knew what she was thinking at that moment.
He gently advised, “Gia, please heed my advice. Caleb’s a man with no future. To follow him is to waste your youth. I’ve arranged everything for you. Tomorrow morning, you’ll be on a plane to meet your favorite foreign author. How does that sound to you?”
There was a hint of appeasement in Phillip’s words, but the suddenness of the matter left Gianna momentarily unable to accept it.
“Dad, why didn’t you mention this to me before? You’ve never brought up this matter. Why so sudden…”
Upon seeing Gianna’s shocked expression, Phillip steeled his heart and said, “The matter is settled. Whether you like it or not, you have to go. In any case, don’t even think about seeing that brat again in this lifetime!”
