Darryl was not in the mood, he replied curtly, "I'm at the City Hospital. Come and find me.”
"Alright, I'll be there shortly,” the caller laughed before hanging up.
Richard-on the floor-spit blood out and glared at Darryl loathsomely. "I dare you to stay here!"
He then pointed to Shelly and said, "You! You brought him here on purpose, didn't you! Don't even think about being a Director!”
At that, he took his phone out, trying to dial a number.
"Calling for backup? Sure, I'll be here waiting," Darryl laughed coldly.
Shelly on the other hand was anxious. She approached Darryl and said softly, "Darryl, you better leave. Richard’s the Chief of Staff, he has important people as his backup. He knows many rich and powerful people."
Shelly was worried about how Darryl might not be able to leave the hospital in peace, as well as her own career here.
"Don't worry, I will handle it," replied Darryl.
Handle? Shelly was slightly dumbfounded. During Jackson's wedding, Shelly could see that Darryl does not have a good relationship with his family. Also, he
has no standing at the Lyndons.
Richard was about to dial when footsteps were heard outside of the office.
"Is Mr. Darby here?” A well-dressed middle-aged man walked in slowly, followed by two bodyguards.
The man, though with a friendly face, has a frightening aura. The man is called Zachariah Wright. Three years ago, he was the Commander of the Donghai Military Region. After he retired, he founded Hydrohill Group, the most successful forestry company in Donghai City. Most of the company's earnings were donated to charity, planting loads of trees. They have an exceptional reputation. Zachariah spent half of his life, dedicating to protecting Donghai City, he has a very prestigious standing. 1
Although Richard is Chief of Staff, he has no authority to kick any patients out of the hospital; yet with just one word from Zachariah Wright, Darryl's father could be thrown out!
Richard put his phone down-as if holding on to his only hope-and pleaded, "Pre...President Wright, you came at the right time! I was just about to call you. You have to help me!”
