Chapter 2594 Wanted More Than That

Mandy pulled her mask up and said in a low voice, “I'm injured.”

“You're injured?” Leia stared at Mandy's face. She reckoned that Mandy's wound had been

concealed under the mask.

Mandy noticed that the other two patients in the ward were looking at her too. Hence, she asked,

"Why aren't you staying in a single-room ward?"

"Do you think I wanted to stay here? There's no single-room ward in the Department of

Hepatobiliary. The wards upstairs are full too.” Leia rolled her eyes.

Mandy rose to her feet and said, “Why don't we go out for a walk?”

“Sure.” Leia knew Mandy did not want the other patients in the ward to stare at her. Thus, they

walked out of the ward together.

The two patients in the ward exchanged glances with each other. The patient who fought with Leia

said, "I just recalled who she is. I kept wondering why she looked so familiar to me..."

“Who is she? I think I've seen her somewhere before too,” asked another patient.

“Oh, she’s Leia Norman. A celebrity has-been who got involved in scandalous affairs. I went online

searching for her just now. Tsk, tsk. You can't imagine how shocking it was. How dare she show her

face in front of others? If I were involved in so many scandalous affairs, I would hit my head against

the wall and end my life,” she said maliciously. She had been bottling up her anger after arguing

with Leia just now.

“So she’s Leia Norman. No wonder she looks familiar. You're right. She has done so many bad

things. How could she scold someone else without feeling embarrassed? Even if she’s wealthy, she's

just a child adopted by the Norman family. Who does she think she is to judge the poor? She's

nothing but an outsider once the Norman family's biological child comes back. I heard that her

biological father is a homeless scumbag. She was born to be poor. Even if she was adopted into a

wealthy family, she’s still a poor person deep down. How dare she mock others? Rumor has it that

she has a bad attitude. I finally got to see what she truly is like today.” Another patient went along

with her.

“I know, right?”

Leia, who stood at the door, wore a sullen look on her face. She realized she forgot to bring her

phone when she walked out of the ward. She initially thought of heading back to take it, but she

accidentally heard those people talking about her.

Mandy heard them too. She patted Leia’s shoulders and pointed at the corner of the hallway with

her fingers.

Leia could not be bothered to argue with the two patients in the ward. She immediately headed in

the direction where Mandy pointed.

They headed to the corner of the hallway where there was no one around. Only then did Mandy pull

her mask down.

Leia noticed the redness and how swollen Mandy's face was. She asked in surprise, “What's wrong?

Did he beat you?"

"I risked my life to get that money.” Mandy stroked her face. She did not feel any pain in her face

when she was slapped. All she felt was numbness. It was only after an hour did she start to feel the

pain.

The plastic surgeon told her that judging from how swollen her face was, it might take up to a week

for it to recover and the pain would ease after the swelling was gone.

Although Mandy did not answer her question directly, Leia was sure that it was Matysh who did this

to her.

"He's so cruel.” Leia saw how swollen Mandy's face was, and she thought Mandy got beaten up

asking for money from Matysh.

“Fortunately, I got the money. That slap didn’t end up in vain.” Mandy put on her mask and asked,

"How are your parents now?"

Leia was the one who told Mandy that the mission had failed.

Matysh still could not contact those men who were arrested by the police when Mandy left the

hotel. Their superior seemed to be handling this matter too.

However, Mandy also heard that A City was currently the center of the country's anti-organized

crime. It seemed like things were going to be more difficult to handle.

“I don't know what their situation is now.” Leia clenched her teeth resentfully and cursed, “I hope

there's bleeding in their brains and they'll die.”

Mandy shook her head. Mr. and Mrs. Norman were her adoptive parents, after all. How could she be

so heartless...

“What's Matysh planning to do now?” Leia asked.

Mandy shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I have no idea. He vented his anger on me after

knowing that we failed the mission. But I didn't let him get away with venting his emotions on me. I

left as soon as I got the money. We have nothing to do with anything that happens next. You're

considered a rich woman now. With the money, you can make a living by starting a business in A

City. It won't matter even when the Norman family doesn't care about you anymore in the future.”

“I want more than that.” Leia narrowed her eyes.

Even though Jack had always been law-abiding, clean, and honest since he served in the military,

the Norman family's wealth only started to accumulate when Old Master Norman began doing

business back then.

Although Jack had no intention of taking over Old Master Norman's businesses, Old Master

Norman had given him full rights to the company. The company was still earning a considerable

amount of profits now.

Would that money not become hers when Jack was no longer alive?

Hence, what Leia truly wanted was the assets of the Norman family.

Mandy knew what Leia had in mind. She patted her shoulder and said, "That's all I can do for you.

Things have gotten much bigger, and the biggest reason for it is probably because your parents

were injured. That's why you have to be extra careful. You can't let them suspect you.”

“Don’t worry. I can distance myself from this matter. I've finished my job, after all.” Leia smirked. She

did it so well and left no clues behind.

No matter how capable Luke's men were and no matter how many police officers came, they would

not be able to find out that she had something to do with this case.

"Although you did the job well, you still have to be careful. Besides, don’t forget me when you've

become a super rich woman.” Mandy stroked her face, trying to remind Leia that she sacrificed her

beauty in exchange for the money.

“I got it. Have you seen the doctor yet? Let me ask Johann to take a look at it,” said Leia. Even

though Johann did not study plastic surgery, she heard that Johann was skilled at it.

Mandy's eyes lit up when she recalled Johann's handsome face. She asked, “Really? But he's not

working in the plastic surgery department, right?”

“Even though he's not, he's an expert. Even plastic surgeons aren't as highly skilled as he is. If he'd

like to change his job, all the cosmetic hospitals would welcome him to join them with open arms,”

answered Leia.

“That's so impressive...” Mandy could not help but exclaim with admiration.

However, the injury on her face affected her appearance badly. She eventually shook her head and

said, "It's alright. I'll be leaving a bad impression on him if I see him in such a state now. Do create

chances for me to meet him in the future if it's possible.”

“Sure. No problem. You helped me a lot this time.” Leia was talking about hurting Jack and Queenie,

as well as the money Mandy got for her.

“We should help each other. And we should make those who look down on us apologize to us!” said

Mandy.

On the other hand...

The caretaker Luke sent to look after Leia followed her instructions and bought bottles of the most

expensive imported water.

She realized Leia was gone when she returned to the ward. Then, she walked to the washroom and

glanced around. Leia was nowhere to be seen. Hence, she asked the other patients who were on

their beds with curiosity, "Excuse me, do any of you know where Ms. Norman went?"

The two patients stared at their phones while lying on the bed. It was as though they did not hear

her talking to them.

“I'm sorry, but I didn't do anything wrong to offend the two of you. Do you know where she is?” The

caretaker knew they hated Leia, and that was why they were deliberately ignoring what she said.
