William said gently, “You’re still recovering, Eugene, so why did you leave your room? The chairman


    was worried sick about you. He’s been waiting here since this morning”


    Eugene did not look at him. His voice was t. “Lee should have told you all. I don’t want any visitors.

    “You impudent bastard!” Cedric barked, infuriated by his cold indifference. “Eugene Scott, are you


    looking down on me?!”


    Eugene looked at him calmly. “You’re overthinking things.”


    Cedric’s chest heaved. Eugene was clearly lying. The boy had gotten even more rebellious after


    gaining the Hendersons‘ support!


    However, he remembered the real purpose of his visit today and forced himself to suppress Have you

    Eugene looked at him.


    Cedric continued, “Timothy was young and reckless. What he did was wrong, but you’ve taught him a

    lesson.”


    The implication was clear. He wanted Eugene to step back and let Timothy out of prison.


    William stood next to Cedric. He looked very much like Cedric when he was young. When the two of


    them stood together, everyone knew that they were father and son.


    He also advised Eugene, “The Harmons are still our business partners, after all. I know it’smon for


    hot–blooded young people to get into minor brawls. No harm done.”


    William was trying his best to persuade him. Those who did not know better would think that he was


    very close to Eugene.


    Eugene smiled mockingly. “If this is what you call ‘no harm done‘, why don’t you have a minor brawl


    with Timothy yourself, Mr. Thames?”


    When Mnie followed Simon upstairs, the door of Eugene’s ward was still ajar. She happened to hear


    Eugene’s words.


    The atmosphere in the ward was tense. The two sides were probably in a deadlock, and no one looked


    particrly happy.


    It was also the first time she saw William. He looked so much like Cedric that she could tell at a nce


    that he was Cedric’s son.


    Hearing her footsteps, Eugene looked over and frowned. His voice was cold. “What are you doing


    here?”


    Mnie was about to speak when Cedric roared, “Eugene! Don’t forget that yourst name is still

    Scott!”


    Eugene said coldly, nodding at William, “You can change hisst name to Scott if you want.”


    “You–1” Cedric was furious. Without looking, he grabbed something beside him and threw it at Eugene.


    “You wretched son!”


    It all happened so quickly. By the time everyone realized what was happening, the cup of boiling hot


    tea had already hit Eugene.


    Eugene groaned, his face turning pale for a moment.


    However, Eugene had just turned to look at Mnie. When he heard themotion behind him, he


    instinctively turned sideways, so the cup of tea hit him squarely in his wound.


    The doctors and nurses immediately rushed over. Eugene’s wound was very long and had yet to fully


    heal. After the cup smashed into it, the wound opened up a little, and the blood that flowed out dyed the


    gauze red.


    Moreover, because the wound was now stained with tea, they were worried it would be infected.


    Cedric and William did not stay for long, either. Soon, they stormed off with Eason in tow.


    Mnie looked into the ward, lost in thought.


    On the other hand, Simon lowered his head andughed mockingly. He casually told Mnie, “You can


    keep waiting here. I’m leaving.”


    Without waiting for Mnie’s reply, he left.


    He had seen everything very clearly from where he stood. Eugene had instinctively evaded that cup at


    first, but then he had deliberately turned back and took the brunt of the hit with his wound.
