Chapter 398


    In the deputy director’s office at the hospital.


    “Hello? Mr. David, I’ve done everything as you directed. You can chill out. Nothing’s gonna go wrong.”


    The other end of the phone seemed to say something.


    The deputy director’s face was stered with a big grin, “Alright, alright. As for the thing you


    promised… Ah, I can rest easy then.” He hung up, picked up a cup of coffee with satisfaction, and took

    a leisurely sip. He looked forward to being transfered to Central Hospital as the director next week. The


    whole thing had been a close shave.


    On the other end of the phone, David looked pretty grim. He red at his son, “You good-for-nothing!


    What can you even do? All you do is cause trouble and I have to clean up your mess. Do you realize


    what would happen if Lucian found out? Not even I could save your ass then! You’ve got some nerve


    pulling off something like this without telling me! If Jett hadn’t found out and told me, I wouldn’t even


    know you guys nned something this big today!”


    Pete clenched his teeth, “Even if you hadn’t interfered, I wouldn’t have messed up. Lucian wouldn’t


    have found out. You think I can’t do anything right, that I’m useless, then why did you even bother


    having me, raising me? Dad, am I really that worthless in your eyes? Since I can never measure up to


    Lucian, why do you bother protecting me? You might as well hand me over to the Lindberg family!”


    “YOU!” David’s blood pressure shot up out of anger at his son’s words, almost passing out.


    “You insolent son!” He mmed his hand down on the table.


    Pete knelt on the carpet, silent.


    David looked at his son’s angry expression, mming his hand on the table again. He was a tall and


    imposing figure, naturallymanding. Now his face was flushed with anger, which made Pete


    terrified.


    “Speak! Exin everything about this whole thing, and your rtionship with Penelope! If you dare to


    omit a single detail, I’ll show you no mercy!”


    “I’ve known Penelope for a long time. I met her at a party. After the party, we got together. At that time,


    Penelope hadn’t met Lucian yet. She’s a party girl, and we’ve had sex a few times. I didn’t expect her


    to suddenly get together with Lucian. Because she saved Lucian, he promised to marry her, but she


    was already carrying my child. She originally wanted to abort the child, but we decided to keep it. Dad,


    if she marries Lucian with my child, then the Lindberg family’s assets will all belong to our Roling


    family.”


    David roared, “Shut up! Listen to what you’re saying! Carter has done me huge favors. The Lindberg


    family is like my family!” But his


    heart wasn’t as steadfast as his words.


    He was the butler of the Lindberg family. He took care of almost every matter of the family, but his


    power was limited within the family. In the Lindberg Corporation, he was just a deputy president in


    name. Aside from being known as the adopted son of the Lindberg family, he had no special


    privileges.


    He was adopted, but he wasn’t treated as such.


    He lost an eye protecting Carter. Carter adopted him as a son to express gratitude. Even though he


    was an adopted son of the Lindberg family, his children were treated as the children of a butler, while


    Aidan could dine at the main table, along with Lucian and the others.


    That was the gap between them. He, David, was still just a servant. He never enjoyed the treatment of


    an adopted son.


    Who could ept such discrimination? He certainly couldn’t.
