Chapter 71: Clarence, Stop It, Okay?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Clarence studied the necklace with a cross for a while before he slowly fell asleep.
He was tired from all the rushing these days.
Clarence was woken up by a commotion at Thirteen Hall’s entrance the next morning.
Clarence was confused. ‘Patients this early in the morning?’
“Clarence, come out... Come on out... Are you afraid to come out when you dared to do such a thing...”
He heard broken speeches.
Clarence shuddered. “Oh no, isn’t this Belle’s voice?”
“Is it...”
Clarence got out of bed and opened Thirteen Hall’s entrance without washing his face.
“Mom and Dad, why are all of you here?”
Clarence looked at the Murphy family.
Not only Armstrong and Peony, but Belle and Melody’s families had also come.
Miranda was wearing a black business suit, looking indifferent.
“Why are we here? Clarence, are you going to ruin your mother-in-law’s clinic if we don’t come?” Armstrong could not help feeling mad.
Clarence frowned. “What do you mean by that, Dad?”
Armstrong glared at Clarence. “What do I mean? Haha!”
“Go on! Go on and pretend!”
“Your mother-in-law’s Humanity Hall is on this street, and you open some Thirteen Hall across from it!’
“Now you tricked Master Williams into working for you!”
“Tell me, what is a deceitful thing like you up to?”
After Belle and Melody got back yesterday, they explained and exaggerated a lot about what happened in Thirteen Hall.
It became Clarence, Jackson, and others who tricked Master Williams and made him one of Thirteen Hall’s staff.
In the Murphy family’s opinion, Clarence was ignorant and incompetent and knew nothing.
How could he be a doctor?
Clarence opened Thirteen Hall, and it was right across from Humanity Hall.
Was there such a coincidence?
As far as the Murphy family was concerned, Clarence was getting back at the Murphy family!
Peony looked grim. “Clarence, I thought you were a nice person. Who knew you’d do something like this!”
“Mom, hear me out.”
Clarence was helpless. It had nothing to do with him.
“I had no idea Jackson gave me a clinic and that it’s right across from Humanity Hall!”
“I only found out yesterday after I came. It was already finished, and I can do anything.”
“Then the elder sister and the second sister came to play the pavilion. The elder sister and the second sister were very aggressive. I thought it was over.”
“It was a family, but I didn’t expect Master Williams to come running in the evening...”
Clarence explains.
“Then Belle and Melody came to challenge me. They were aggressive, and I thought it was over after it ended.”
“We’re a family, but I didn’t expect Master Williams to come over at night...”
Clarence explained.
However, the Murphy family did not believe Clarence at all and looked at him with a sneer.
It was as if they were saying, ‘Go on. Go on and pretend.’
Armstrong’s face was gloomy.
Peony looked at Clarence coldly. Any affection she had had for Clarence was now gone.
Belle kept her head down, fidgeting with her nails as if it had nothing to do with her.
With her arms folded over her chest, Melody watched the show.
George and Kaysen stood there silently, saying nothing.
“Clarence, you should cut it out now.”
Miranda shook her black women’s suit and said coldly, “I know you’re upset. You’re mad at Dad for not giving you Murphy Group shares.”
“Even if you’re upset, you don’t have to do this, do you?”
“You’re a little petty!”
“Ask Master Williams to come out!”
“I’m petty?” Clarence opened his mouth. He felt at a loss for words.
Just then, Master Williams slowly walked out from the back of Thirteen Hall. “This has nothing to do with Master Howard.”
“Master Howard?”
The Murphy family was stunned.
The Murphy family knew Master Williams’ medical expertise well.
Was Master Williams calling Clarence Master Howard? Did they mishear it?
Or was the sun rising in the west?
“Master Williams, there must be some misunderstanding.”
“Clarence must have done something to trick you here.” Peony quickly stepped forward.
Master Williams was Humanity Hall’s backbone. Humanity Hall would have been impossible to sustain without Master Williams.
Master Williams shook his head. “There’s no misunderstanding. I’m willing to admit defeat.”
Peony explained, “Master Williams, I heard about what happened yesterday from both my daughters.”
“Clarence saved Jackson’s life, so those rich people were shills Jackson hired!”
“You’ve competed with Clarence regarding medical skills. Those people were Clarence’s patients. How can you possibly win?”
In Peony’s opinion, they knew Clarence from head to toe.
He was an illiterate, loser son-in-law that did not even graduate junior high.
How would he know anything about medicine?
He even beat Master Williams!
After Belle explained to Melody last night, Peony instantly understood it was all Jackson’s work.
He had the rich men pretend to be patients, let Clarence treat them, and had him win the medical skills battle against Master Williams.
Master Williams looked disdainful. “Do you think I’m blind?”
“Do you think I can’t judge whether Master Howard is competent?”
“Clarence, look at you. What did you do to fool Master Williams?” roared Belle, feeling so mad.
Melody also chided, “Clarence, you deceitful thing. Are we bad to you?”
“You pulled tricks just for some shares. Humanity Hall is Mom’s hard work!”
“Are you only satisfied after ruining Humanity Hall?”
The two people’s tone was very mean, and they glared at Clarence.
Miranda’s eyes were full of disappointment. “Clarence, stop it, okay? Ask Master Williams to return to Humanity Hall!
“I beg you, okay?”
Clarence sighed helplessly. He knew there was no point in explaining it.
The Murphy family was already prejudiced against him.
He opened Thirteen Hall across from Humanity Hall to get back at the Murphy family.
“Master Williams, go back!” Clarence shook his head.
Master Williams looked at Clarence in surprise. “Master Howard, you don’t want me?”
“Humanity Hall needs you. Go back!” Clarence was a little frustrated.
The brow on Master Williams’ old face furrowed. “Then I...”
“Don’t worry. You’re free to ask me if you have any medicine-related questions.” Clarence seemed to know what Master Williams was thinking.
Master Williams was uninterested in money or anything.
Otherwise, with Master Williams’ medical skill level, why would he stay at Humanity Hall? He could make money elsewhere.
Master Williams also came to Thirteen Hall because of Clarence’s amazing medical skills and wanted to learn.
As long as Clarence gave Master Williams his word that he could come and ask him questions about medical skills any time, Master Williams would probably agree to return to Humanity Hall.
Sure enough, Master Williams was relieved. “Okay, I’ll go back to Humanity Hall first. I’ll ask Master Howard if I have any questions about medical skills later!”
As the Murphy family watched with anticipation, Master Williams packed up and left Thirteen Hall.
“Clarence, running a clinic is no joke.”
“You’re the Murphy family’s son-in-law after all, so let me give you a piece of advice!”
“Jackson can give you a clinic because he owes you a favor.”
“But there’s gonna be a lot of trouble if you kill someone!” Peony shook her head and headed back to Humanity Hall with Master Williams.
Everyone left with only Miranda standing in Thirteen Hall’s doorway with a complicated look on her face. She looked resentful toward him for failing to meet her expectations.
“Clarence, stop it, okay? Why don’t you go to the adult school I signed you up for?”
“You’re running a clinic like Mom but have neither learning nor skill. What if someone dies?” Miranda looked at Clarence helplessly.
