Chapter 144
“Elizabeth, there’s nothing you can do. I know you know a little about medicine, but it’s serious t this time,” Nelson
said.
“Well, can’t I just ask about it?”
In fact, she wanted to ask Samuel if he would ask for the 5,000 dollars back because of
Linda’s incident.
Even if he asked for it, she would not give it back to him.
Samuel had walked away. Nelson hurriedly followed him, having no time to continue talking with Elizabeth.
Elizabeth had no intention to ask Samuel about it, and she would ask Leo.
“Miss Jones, I can’t believe you’re here.”
Leo was quite happy to see Elizabeth because he thought it meant that she cared about
Samuel.
“Of course, I should come. You said it was serious over the phone, didn’t you?” Elizabeth shot a glance at Della, who was lying on his stomach outside the ICU, and whispered, “May I have a word with you?”
She entered an empty ward with Leo.
“What’s going on? How come Linda’s in the ICU? Didn’t she only injure her legs?”
“It’s a long story.” Leo was very upset. “Anyway, her life is ruined.”
“What? How about the shooting…”
“It has to be stopped at the moment.”
“How much compensation does it need?”
Leo stretched out his palm.
“850 thousand dollars?” Elizabeth thought it might be more. “8.5 million dollars?”
It was such a shockingly high amount that she couldn’t stand it.
Leo shook his head.
Elizabeth didn’t dare to say a higher amount, let alone think about it.
Only a crazy person would be willing to pay so much money for it.

“Are there any other treatments?”
“The doctor said no. She might not stand up for the rest of her life.”
“I mean the compensation. Is it a must? Or can you welch on the contract?”
Leo was also speechless.
“She really has an odd mindset,” Leo thought.
“Just answer my questions.”
“Well, of course no. It’s written in black and white. Everything is put in black and
white.”
“I really can’t count on all of you.”
Leo was lost for words.
He wondered if it was a bad idea to have called her here.
“Show me her diagnosis report.”
Leo fetched it from the doctor’s office and gave it to Elizabeth. She looked at it over and
over again. Samuel and Nelson came in just as she was about to analyze it with Leo.
“Oh, Elizabeth, you don’t really want to interfere in it, do you?” Nelson felt that she was
overestimating herself.
Even Samuel shot an impatient glance at her.
“Did you turn a deaf ear to what I said to you?”
“Samuel.” Elizabeth slammed the report on the table. “How are you going to deal with this?”
“It’s none of your business. You have no right to interfere in my company’s affairs.” Samuel glared at Leo. “Get your pay at the finance department tomorrow.”
Leo broke out in a cold sweat due to shock and fear. He didn’t expect that he would be
Leo knew that Samuel had changed his mind deep down. He had worked for Samuel for many years, after all.
He couldn’t talk at this critical time, or he would end up more miserable.
Elizabeth couldn’t believe that Samuel remained unmoved after she was even disgusted by her own exaggerated confession.
“What do you want me to do, Samuel?

“Fuck, how come the honey trap does not work on him?
“Does he really…?
“That’s impossible. She had touched it herself that night. And it was thick.
“Well, maybe I just can’t turn him on,” Elizabeth thought.
She felt frustrated at the thought.
She didn’t know what Samuel was thinking about.
“Elizabeth, why don’t you continué talking? Just say you like me and love me again. Let me see how shameless you can be,” Samuel thought.
“Well…” Elizabeth cleared her throat and licked her lips. “I’m sure you all know about it. I know I don’t need to say it out loud.”
Nelson stroked his chin with his hand, thinking that she must be lying through her teeth.
Generally speaking, one would be embarrassed to express his true feelings in public. Elizabeth used to blush when talking to Samuel.
But now, she was obviously a veteran.
Nelson suddenly put on a searching expression at the thought of it.
He wondered if she had seen many men over the
years.
He believed that only in that way could a woman express her love for a man so easily.
“Fine.” Samuel stared at her with his deep, dark eyes. No one knew what he was thinking about. “Now that you’ve known what’s going on and your curiosity is satisfied, can you get out of here?”
“Samuel only talks so much when he’s with Miss Jones or when it comes to work,” Leo thought.
“I’m not here to gossip. I can cure Linda.”
What Elizabeth said was dumbfounding.
The three men stared at her in shock as if they were looking at a monster.
They all knew that Elizabeth knew a little about medicine, but they didn’t believe that she could cure Linda.
Samuel wished she could shut up. “Do you know what you’re talking about, Elizabeth Jones?”
