Clarence was at a loss for words.
Everyone would believe a rumor if it was repeated enough.
Even if the claims were false, with so many people coming forward to testify and the righteous Gerald speaking up, as well as the television stations and actors Selina had hired getting involved, what was false would become true.
Suddenly, someone else jumped out of the crowd. âChadwickâs my boss, and this guy seduced his wife, which made my boss so angry that he kidnapped him and ended up in jail.â
âWhat?â
âIs that really what happened?â
The neighbors were dumbfounded.
Wonder Groupâs son-in-law Chadwick Millerâs kidnapping was all over the internet, and everyone in the neighborhood knew Clarence had been involved.
Who would have thought that Clarence had seduced his wife first?
Honk honk...
Just then, car horns blared at one end of the street.
Five black minivans and a dozen ambulances rushed down the street and stopped at Thirteen Hallâs entrance.
Out ran a crowd of men and doctors in white coats.
One of the middle-aged men took out a stack of reports. âWhoâs Thirteen Hallâs owner Clarence Howard?â
âI am.â Clarence frowned.
The middle-aged man said grimly, âClarence, youâre suspected of selling fake Bollenin and killing a lot of cancer patients.â
The directors, chiefs of physician, and attending doctors of Mediterranean City Champion Hospital, Mediterranean City Dos Hospital, and Mediterranean City Tres Hospital all came forward. âClarence recommended the medicine to us.
âHe even showed us forged certificates, so we all thought he was legitimate.
âWho knew he was a liar?â
Dozens of doctors and heads of department all came forward to testify against Clarence.
âIsnât... Isnât this the director of Mediterranean City Champion Hospital? He operated on my granddaughter.â
âThatâs the chief of orthopedics at Mediterranean City Dos Hospital. He set my fractured bone back into place after I broke it last year.â
âThatâs Dr. Lake from Mediterranean City Tres Hospital. Heâs a very kind man who cured my son of his uremia.â
The neighbors recognized the doctors.
Even these doctors had come forward to testify Clarence for selling counterfeit medicine. No one doubted them.
An old man pointed at Clarenceâs nose, shouting, âYoung man, you have no conscience at all. Bolleninâs a medicine specified for cancer.
âYou sold counterfeit medicine, cheated people out of their money, harmed people, and made people wait for death in despair. Youâre going to hell.â
An old woman wailed and sat down on the ground. âBoo hoo hoo! Liar. Itâs all because of liars like him!
âMy son died because of the counterfeit medicine. He could have lived.
âYou must arrest him and give my son justice.â
Everyone believed Clarence was an unethical doctor now, one that sold fake drugs and hurt people.
âGet him!â
âShut down Thirteen Hall!â
âBlacklist Clarence. Letâs go to the police and put him in jail!â
The residents of the neighborhood roared with agitation.
Clarence stood frozen.
The middle-aged man raised his hand and shouted, âCatch him and send him to the police station!â
A group of men rushed over to take Clarence away forcefully.
Selina, who was in Humanity Hall, curled her lips. âThatâs it? He didnât even put up a fight.
âHow boring. We crushed him just like that. I thought he was tough.
âHe collapsed before I even got to activate my plan B.â
Lisa also shook her head in amusement when she saw that everything had been settled. âSelina, with our connections and means, how could this boy have stood a chance to fight?â
Suddenly, there was an uproar at the end of the street as a line of a dozen luxury cars showed up and parked alongside the five minivans and ambulances.
Julian, Johnson, Jeremy, Tiger, River, Trevor, and more got out of their cars.
River rushed over and slapped the middle-aged man.
Slap...
Dumbfounded, the middle-aged man looked at River in horror. âMr. Cabello? Why are you here...â
River fumed, âPunk, how dare you forge a fake drug certificate to falsely accuse Master Howard?â
âA forgery?â The neighbors were stunned and completely confused.
River was furious and tore up Clarenceâs âfake medicine certificateâ that the middle-aged man had forged. âYou forged my official seal and Thirteen Hallâs fake medicine certificate.
âYouâre getting fired, and that wonât be the end of it!â
Trevor walked up to the directors of Mediterranean Cityâs Champion Hospital, Dos Hospital, and Tres Hospital with his hands behind his back. âWhat are you doing here?
âIâve witnessed Master Howardâs medical skills with my own eyes. Are you here to frame him?â
The expressions of the directors of Mediterranean Cityâs Champion Hospital, Dos Hospital, and Tres Hospital instantly changed, and they looked at Trevor in horror. âWe had no idea, Professor.â
âNo idea? Haha, I think someone must have bribed you.â
Trevor hit the ground hard with his cane.
The directors of these hospitals lowered their heads in shame and dared not refute.
Trevor was highly respected in the medical world.
He was also their professor. No one dared to contradict him unless you wanted to be kicked out of the medical industry.
Trevor roared, âWhat the hell is going on?â
The director of Mediterranean City Champion Hospital blushed. âProfessor, someone paid us to prove...â
âHuh?â
âWhatâs going on?â
âThe evidence that Clarence sold counterfeit medicine was faked?â The neighbors were confused. What on earth was going on?
Whom should they believe?
Just then, Julian stepped out and shouted at Gerald, âHow dare you accuse my sworn brother, boy!
âYou donât have to come to work anymore starting tomorrow. Youâre fired.
âThere will be no place for you in the entire Mediterranean City!â
Gerald was pale with fear. He fell to his knees on the spot. âMr. Julian, Iâm sorry. Please give me another chance.â
Gerald clambered over to Julianâs feet.
âF*ck off...â
Gerald flew back and did seven or eight somersaults after Julian kicked him.
Jeremy rushed into the group of livestreamers and scolded a middle-aged man. âF*ck you, are you out of your mind?
âHow dare you frame my buddy along with the livestreamers of the entertainment livestreaming company I invested in?
âAre you out of your mind?â
The middle-aged man was dumbfounded. He was the general manager of Jeremyâs entertainment livestreaming company.
He had received a deal yesterday, so he led a group of influencers here to livestream today. Who could have guessed that he would run into his boss?
âNo way, Mr. Hayes.â The middle-aged man looked helplessly miserable. âIs this barefoot doctor your buddy?â
Jeremy slapped him. âF*ck you, of course! Heâs my brother.
âWhat are you waiting for? Ask your idiotic livestreamers to turn off their livestreams. Iâm going to blacklist all of you if my brotherâs reputation is damaged!â
The middle-aged general manager paled with fear and quickly asked the influencers to turn off their livestreams.
No one dared disobey.
Everyone in the neighborhood was dumbfounded. âWere these influencers paid to slander Clarence?â
Then, a red BMW arrived. It stopped by the roadside at Thirteen Hall.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Miranda hurried out of the car. âMom, Dad, what are you doing? I just saw you guys on a live stream accusing Clarence of stealing.â
Peonyâs expression instantly changed. âMiranda, what are you doing here?â
An old woman immediately asked, âYouâre Clarenceâs ex-wife, right? What on earth is going on here?
âDid Clarence steal anything from your family?
âYour oldest sister said he stole her diamond necklace worth over thirty thousand dollars, and your second sister said he stole her iPhone!â
Miranda shook her head. âNo way!â
She looked at Belle and asked, âBelle, didnât George take your diamond necklace? Why are you still framing Clarence when weâve already figured that mystery out?â
She looked at Melody again. âMelody, how could you accuse Clarence of stealing your iPhone when you lost it outside?â
The old woman continued pursuing the matter by asking, âWhat about Clarence not paying back the money he borrowed from your brother-in-law? And what about him buying luxury goods?â
Miranda frowned. âWhen has Clarence ever borrowed money from him?
âThe Murphy family gives Clarence three thousand dollars a month, and he can save more than twenty thousand dollars a year.
âHe scrimped and saved, buying clothes from thrift shops. What luxury goods would he want to buy?â
After listening to Mirandaâs explanation, the group of neighbors looked at Peony and the rest with fury on their faces. âHow dare you lie to us?â
âDr. Howardâs a kind person. What do you gain by framing him like this?â
âNice job. You almost fooled me!â
âIt turns out that everythingâs fake!â
âYouâre all here to frame Dr. Howard. Come on, tell us who sent you.â
The old men and women rolled up their sleeves, ready to strike.
Peony and the rest rushed back to Humanity Hall, afraid to show their faces.
Clarence looked at Miranda. âThanks for explaining.â
Miranda shook her head. âItâs nothing. Iâm just telling the truth.â
Selina, who was in Humanity Hall, frowned when she saw Peony and the rest running back. âDamn it. Where did those people come from?
âActivate Plan B!â
Meanwhile, in the presidential suite of North Star Mansion.
A middle-aged man rushed into the suite in a hurry. âMaster Sanders, something bad has happened. Ms. Yoyoâs savior is in trouble.â
âHeâs in trouble? Whatâs happened?â The woman frowned as she put down the phone.
The middle-aged man quickly explained what had happened outside Thirteen Hall.
The woman got up and sneered. âHaha. How dare they touch my savior?
âCome on.. Letâs go to Thirteen Hall.â
