Mandy pulled her mask up and said in a low voice, "I'm injured."
“You're injured?" Leia stared at Mandy's face. She reckoned that Mandy's wound had been concealed under the
mask.
Mandy noticed that the other two patients in the ward were looking at her too. Hence, she asked, "Why aren't you
staying in a single-room ward?"
"Do you think I wanted to stay here? There's no single-room ward in the Department of Hepatobiliary. The wards
upstairs are full too." Leia rolled her eyes.
Mandy rose to her feet and said, “Why don't we go out for a walk?"
“Sure." Leia knew Mandy did not want the other patients in the ward to stare at her. Thus, they walked out of the
ward together.
The two patients in the ward exchanged glances with each other. The patient who fought with Leia said, "I just
recalled who she is. I kept wondering why she looked so familiar to me^"
“Who is she? I think I've seen her somewhere before too," asked another patient.
“Oh, she's Leia Norman. A celebrity has-been who got involved in scandalous affairs. I went online searching for her
just now. Tsk, tsk. You can't imagine how shocking it was. How dare she show her face in front of others? If I were
involved in so many scandalous affairs, I would hit my head against the wall and end my life," she said maliciously.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had been bottling up her anger after arguing with Leia just now.
“So she's Leia Norman. No wonder she looks familiar. You're right. She has done so many bad things. How could she
scold someone else without feeling embarrassed? Even if she's wealthy, she's just a child adopted by the Norman
family. Who does she think she is to judge the poor? She's nothing but an outsider once the Norman family's
biological child comes back. I heard that her biological father is a homeless scumbag. She was born to be poor.
Even if she was adopted into a wealthy family, she's still a poor person deep down. How dare she mock others?
Rumor has it that she has a bad attitude. I finally got to see what she truly is like today." Another patient went along
with her.
“I know, right?"
Leia, who stood at the door, wore a sullen look on her face. She realized she forgot to bring her phone when she
walked out of the ward. She initially thought of heading back to take it, but she accidentally heard those people
talking about her.
Mandy heard them too. She patted Leia's shoulders and pointed at the corner of the hallway with her fingers.
Leia could not be bothered to argue with the two patients in the ward. She immediately headed in the direction
where Mandy pointed.
They headed to the corner of the hallway where there was no one around. Only then did Mandy pull her mask
down.
Leia noticed the redness and how swollen Mandy's face was. She asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Did he beat
you?"
"I risked my life to get that money." Mandy stroked her face. She did not feel any pain in her face when she was
slapped. All she felt was numbness. It was only after an hour did she start to feel the pain.
The plastic surgeon told her that judging from how swollen her face was, it might take up to a week for it to recover
and the pain would ease after the swelling was gone.
Although Mandy did not answer her question directly, Leia was sure that it was Matysh who did this to her.
"He's so cruel." Leia saw how swollen Mandy's face was, and she thought Mandy got beaten up asking for money
from Matysh.
"Fortunately, I got the money. That slap didn't end up in vain." Mandy put on her mask and asked, "How are your
parents now?"
Leia was the one who told Mandy that the mission had failed.
Matysh still could not contact those men who were arrested by the police when Mandy left the hotel. Their superior
seemed to be handling this matter too.
However, Mandy also heard that A City was currently the center of the country's anti-organized crime. It seemed
like things were going to be more difficult to handle.
"I don't know what their situation is now." Leia clenched her teeth resentfully and cursed, "I hope there's bleeding in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtheir brains and they'll die."
Mandy shook her head. Mr. and Mrs. Norman were her adoptive parents, after all. How could she be so heartless...
"What's Matysh planning to do now?" Leia asked.
Mandy shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I have no idea. He vented his anger on me after knowing that we failed
the mission. But I didn't let him get away with venting his emotions on me. I left as soon as I got the money. We
have nothing to do with anything that happens next. You're considered a rich woman now. With the money, you can
make a living by starting a business in A City. It won't matter even when the Norman family doesn't care about you
anymore in the future."
"I want more than that." Leia narrowed her eyes.
Even though Jack had always been law-abiding, clean, and honest since he served in the military, the Norman
family's wealth only started to accumulate when Old Master Norman began doing business back then.
Although Jack had no intention of taking over Old Master Norman's businesses, Old Master Norman had given him
full rights to the company. The company was still earning a considerable amount of profits now.
Would that money not become hers when Jack was no longer alive?
Hence, what Leia truly wanted was the assets of the Norman family.
Mandy knew what Leia had in mind. She patted her shoulder and said, "That's all I can do for you.
Things have gotten much bigger, and the biggest reason for it is probably because your parents were injured.
That's why you have to be extra careful. You can't let them suspect you." “Don't worry. I can distance myself from
this matter. I've finished my job, after all.” Leia smirked. She did it so well and left no clues behind.
