Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

Chapter 42 Slap in the Face without Letting the Master Know

"Riley Watson, come to my ward right now!"

As soon as Riley got out of a dilemma, she got a call from Lydia. Riley frowned and said to William next

to her, "Mr. Hardesty, I have to deal with some private affairs, and I’ll leave you alone."

Lydia had better find Riley for something serious, or Dr. Watson, who didn’t get enough sleep, would

crush her to death.

Through the receiver, William heard the sharp voice on the other end of the phone just now, "Do you

want me to go with you?"

"No, I can handle it myself."

Before William said "be careful", Riley had already stepped back.

Riley...How much energy did the thin woman store in her heart? She could be so calm after dealing

with the reporters’ terrible questions.

This time, psychology didn’t help him.

Outside the VIP ward stood a few bodyguards in black uniforms. They stood straight with their hands

down. Their oversized sunglasses covered most of their faces. They were all expressionless, looking

cool.

Riley sneered. What a poser!

As soon as she came in, Riley looked down at the lying woman with her arms around her chest and

said, "Come on! Now you can say what you didn’t dare to say in front of Euan"

Lydia grasped the white quilt with her slender fingers, and she looked very angry. She goggled at Riley

with anger as if she wanted to tear Riley to pieces, "Riley, you are a bitch!"

Riley frowned and looked down at Lydia. She was back to her old self again, very confident, "Lydia, if

you don’t have any new tricks, just stop! Don’t waste my time!"

Lydia sneered and became angrier. She hated Riley so much. Riley lost her family business to her

stepmother and she was even driven out of the Watson family. But why was she so confident and

calm?

Lydia really hated Riley. Even if Riley didn’t get love from Euan and she had no foothold in the George

family, she could live in peace.

Lydia hated Riley! Whether in the past or at present, the men around Riley were always willing to

protect her, which never stopped!

Why was that person Riley! Lydia was no worse than Riley in many ways! Her birth, background,

appearance and social status were no worse than Riley’s. And Lydia was one of the few national idols!

But Riley was just a little doctor in the office!

Lydia hated Riley. She wanted Riley to die!

"Riley, why don’t you divorce?" Lydia’s white face almost distorted. Lydia, who was praised as the

person having the most beautiful face in Asia, had nothing to do with "beautiful" now.

It turned out that Lydia really had something to talk about with Riley. She just wanted to urge Riley to

get divorced.

Riley raised her eyes and retorted with disdain, "Lydia, You’d better find out who’s the one who doesn’t

want to divorce? You should convince Euan and I’ll be here you any time."

Lydia spat at her, "Bah! Euan doesn’t want to divorce you? You are the disgrace of the George family,

so Euan hasn’t admitted your existence until now! You are a disgrace!"

Lydia began a series of personal attacks.

Riley sneered indifferently, "Lydia, I advise you to lie down and have a good rest. Anger can make

people ugly, and you live on your beautiful appearance. If your appearance is not good-looking, Euan,

your beloved, would not look at you."

Lydia threw back the quilt and got out of bed, "Riley, how dare you talk to me like that? Do you know

that I can kick you out of the medical community forever?"

"But before that, Ms. Saunders, you had better provide your blood and urine to let the hospital

investigate the drug incident clearly, otherwise, the hospital and I will charge you with slander. I know

you have a background and you’re not afraid of lawsuits. But it doesn’t matter. I have plenty of time,

just you wait!"

Barefoot people were not afraid of people wearing shoes. Riley had nothing, so she nothing to fear!

"Bitch!"

Lydia raised her hand and wanted to slap Riley. But Riley also raised one hand, held Lydia’s wrist

tightly, and then shook her hand away, "I warned you that you had better have some new tricks. Are

you going to provide the relevant humor now, or wait for my lawyer’s letter? "

Lydia couldn’t refute with her lips trembling. She didn’t make a sound for a while.

Riley’s attitude was firm. It was tied to the medical ethics and her reputation, so she would never make

a concession. If Lydia just disturbed her in love affairs, Riley didn’t care. But at work, Riley didn’t allow

Lydia to ruin her career!

Riley laughed, "Or, I’ll give you a plan. You immediately declare to the media that you ate something

you shouldn’t eat, which made you sick. Come on, I’ll give you ten minutes."

With that, Riley looked at the watch on her wrist, "Let’s count down!"

Lydia gritted her teeth in anger, but in face of Riley, she couldn’t fight back. She clearly remembered

Euan’s attitude when he left, so she knew that this was not the time for her to be stubborn.

She gritted her teeth, picked up the phone and gave Riley an angry glance, with her fingers clutching

the clothes tighter, "Hey, Sia Perry… You tell the reporters that there was no problem with the

medicine. I just ate the wrong food… Don’t ask so much and just do as I say… I’ll hang up."

When Lydia finished, Riley laughed, "That’s right. Lydia, you’d better stop playing tricks in front of me.

Maybe when I’m in a good mood, I’ll take the initiative to divorce Euan. But if you make me angry, I’m

not willing to give up the position of Euan’s wife to you."

"Go away! Get out! Get out of here!"

Lydia pointed to the ward door and angrily drove Riley away.

Riley looked around the ward, sneered, "VIP ward is good, but you live alone. Do you feel lonely?"

"Go away! Get out of here!"

Ignoring Lydia’s anger, Riley walked out of the ward at her own pace.

After a few steps, standing at the elevator entrance, Riley closed her eyes wearily. She was really tired.

What happened recently made her tired and sick.

She wanted to end this kind of life, and she wanted to live a quiet life.

However, it had not over yet.

Before Riley left the hospital, she got a call from her mother-in-law, Anika. After taking a deep breath,

she answered the phone, "Mom..."

"Where are you?"

"I’m in the hospital."

"Come to Mr. Houston’s office right away!"

Anika? Mr. Houston’s office? What happened?

With doubts, Riley went upstairs and stood at the door of Mr. Houston’s office. She looked up and saw

Anika with rich and magnificent clothes sitting on the sofa. No matter where and when, Anika was well

dressed.

Mr. Houston was just talking to Anika. He seemed to be comforting Anika, but obviously, Anika didn’t

accept it.

Wait. Why did Mr. Houston seem to have known Anika for a long time? And they seemed to have a

good relationship.

As soon as Riley came in, she had a sense of foreboding. But before she called Anika—

Anika got up from the sofa. Before Riley stood steadily, Anika went forward and slapped Riley!

"Pa!"

Anika slapped Riley hard, making a loud voice.

Riley was slapped so hard that her head went to the side! Riley had a fishy smell in her mouth. Riley

slowly turned her head around, and red blood was streaming down from her mouth.

Riley got terrible bruise on her white face. The red marks were so shocking!

Mr. Houston was also frightened by Anika’s anger. He got up and pulled Anika, "Mrs. George, calm

down. Dr. Watson didn’t mean to hurt Ms. Saunders. It was just a misunderstanding."

She did come for Riley.

Anika didn’t give Riley a chance to speak, but coldly stared at her, "Riley, remember that Lydia is the

future daughter-in-law of the George family. She is pregnant with Euan’s baby. If you hurt her, I will

drive you out of the hospital!"

Riley clenched her fist. She was not afraid of Lydia, but she was afraid of the bossy woman in front of

her. She was Mrs. George, Euan’s biological mother. What she said should not be taken lightly.

Riley felt aggrieved and raised her right hand, "I never hurt Lydia Saunders. She has publicly admitted

that today’s event is a misunderstanding."

"Shut up! Lydia’s name is not what you can call! You are a shameless woman!"

Riley was hurt by her. Her strength and crumbling dignity were completely shattered by Anika. She

didn’t have time to clean up her scattered dignity.

Anika continued, "Mr. Houston, I don’t want to say anything else. For the sake of Lydia’s safety, I hope

that this woman will not step into obstetrics and gynecology department in the future."

Mr. Houston nodded. At this moment, he could not disobey Anika, "Mrs. George, don’t worry. I will

manage my subordinates well."

Anika picked up her handbag and swaggered out of Mr. Houston’s office.

Riley still felt dizzy. She looked up and held back her tears!

"Riley…" Mr. Houston sighed, "This time, I know you feel aggrieved, but you and I can’t offend the

people of the George family. And, how many people dare to fight against the George family in JD city?"

Looking at the bruise on her face, Mr. Houston shook his head, "Go back and have a good rest. I’ll give

you a few days off."

Riley resisted her grievances and pretended to be strong, "Mr. Houston, I’m fine."

She staggered out of Mr. Houston’s office. Several times, her tears almost came out, but she kept

warning herself not to cry. Riley couldn’t cry! No one in the George family was worth her tears.

But the more she told herself, the more aggrieved she felt. And her grievances were nowhere to be

released. So, all the grievances and hatred were blocked in her heart, which made her feel suffocated.

"Dr. Watson, what’s the matter with you?"

William went upstairs to Mr. Houston to sign. But when he came out of the elevator, he met Riley who

was listless.

"Nothing." She bit her lips and gave a kind of sob as she said.

"What’s wrong with your face?" William subconsciously clenched Riley’s shoulders. His concern and

surprise made his voice rapid and anxious.

Riley shook her shoulders and tried to get rid of William’s hands, but she failed. She just said,

"Nothing."

"You were beaten like this, and you say it’s nothing. You have such a serious bruise, and you need to

do anti-inflammatory treatment immediately. Come with me, I’ll make a cold compress for you."

Riley struggled, "No, I can do it myself."

He took her by the wrist and said insistently, "Don’t be stubborn. You don’t have to pretend to be strong

in front of me."

He pulled her to his private lounge.

This was Riley’s first time here. The lounge was on the top floor of the hospital. His one-bedroom

lounge was very clean. Except for a few medical books on the desk, other places were very clean and

neat.

William was a little embarrassed and shy. Although it was just his lounge, he always felt a little

embarrassed to bring a woman in. Then, he laughed, "This is a place to take a nap. Sometimes I work

late and I sleep here. Just make yourself at home."

She looked around the lounge, and the objects in it were standard accessories given by the hospital.

But from the pictures hanging in the living room, she could know that the owner of the room had

extraordinary taste.

"It’s good here."

William patted both sides of his legs awkwardly, which was a small subconscious movement of this

man, "You sit first, and I’ll get the ice."

She knew that he was nervous.

"Thank you, Mr. Hardesty."

Riley’s face hurt as if it had been burned by fire, and she didn’t dare to touch it. Instead of sitting down,

she was going to find a mirror to see what her face looked like.

She came to the wash basin, with her hands on the edges of the wash basin, and she looked at her

swollen face in the mirror. The furrows on her face were terrible as if her face was ploughed by a plow.

She couldn’t help it any more. She clasped the white porcelain wash basin with her fingers, and her

tears were pouring down…
