The leader of the group was a young man with his greasy hair combed back. His eyes were menacing.
"There you are, Mr. Hobbs." Miriam was overjoyed to see him.
She threw herself into his arms. "Sob, sob, sob. If you don't show up, the assholes are going to take the hospital away." Miriam snuggled in the man's embrace and wailed like nobody's business.
Sure enough, the crying lady in his arms only upset the man.
He patted Miriam's shoulder and consoled, "Don't worry, babe. No one can shut the hospital down, not on my watch." The man took Miriam's hand and walked toward Kaze and the department heads.
Fixating on the department heads, the man said curtly,

They stole a glance at Kaze and kept their heads down without a word.
It was clear that they were intimidated by Keeve.
Keeve approached Morgan and the others and uttered condescendingly, "Tell me. Whose orders are you acting on? | need an answer." "Mr. Hobbs, um..." Morgan looked distressed.
The department heads did not want to defy Kaze, but they did not want to get on Keeve's bad books either.
Kaze frowned at their reaction.
*Keeve Hobbs? | never heard of you before." He said indifferently, "But you are cocky. The seven departments are working on behalf of the local council to weed out the issues of Victoria International Hospital. We are investigating and processing everything by the book.
"You questioned the department heads aggressively the moment you arrived.
*Are you looking down on the government and the law?" Kaze pressed.
However, Keeve did not take him seriously.
He snickered and looked at Kaze. "Who are you? Don't give me that crap about looking down on the government.
"But you're right on one thing. | look down on the law. Do you have a problem with that? "At least, | am the law in the administration of Victoria International Hospital," Keeve declared arrogantly while staring deep into Kaze's eyes.
*Mr. Hobbs, he's the troublemaking bastard!" Nestling in Keeve's embrace, Miriam tumed around and glared at Kaze. "The bastard called Mr. Wesley and the rest over.
"Do you know who Mr. Hobbs is, Kaze? He's the COO of Lee Investment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I'm sure you have heard of Lee Investment. It's one of the Sunrise Lees’ businesses. The CEO of Lee Investment is Samson Hobbs, Mr. Hobb's uncle.
*Mr. Hobbs acquired many private hospitals in the city
through Lee Investment.
"You are delusional to think you can shut us down and revoke our licenses. If you have a problem with Mr. Hobbs, you are making an enemy out of Lee Investment.
"If you know what's good for you, you should get down on your knees and beg Mr. Hobbs for mercy." Keeve's presence gave Miriam an assurance like never before to tear into Kaze.
The whole time, Keeve simply watched everything with a smile.
He then said, "Your connections must be extensive to be able to contact all seven department leaders.
"But that's not a reason to challenge me.
*You have the nerve to hit my woman and shut my hospital down."
