After Being Cheated On, I Became My Ex's Uncle's Pampered Sweetheart Chapter 11: Mr. Lawson Is Waiting for You in the Car
Editor: Henyee Translations
Inside the hospital security office, Lana Chambers, Charlotte Vaughn, and Eve Vaughn all had disheveled hair and looked a complete ss.
Eve Vaughn thought, If security hadn’t arrived in ti to break up the fight, I never would’ve let Charlotte Vaughn and Lana Chambers get the upper hand. I would’ve taken them down by now.
Lana Chambers and her daughter played the victim, shouting, "This isn’t the first ti Eve Vaughn has gotten physical with us! How could you call yourselves a decent hospital with a patient’s family mber like her? We’ll expose you tomorrow! I’d like to see who would dare co to you for treatnt with a dangerous person who attacks at the slightest provocation, hanging around!"
Today, Eve Vaughn was getting a real lesson in what it ant to be unreasonable and what it ant to be shaless bullies!
"Ma’am, please calm down," a hospital staff mber said placatingly. "This has nothing to do with our hospital. And besides, this patient’s family mber has never attacked anyone before. Are you suggesting we kick her out? I’m afraid that wouldn’t be appropriate, would it?"
Lana Chambers roared, "What’s inappropriate about it? A person with violent tendencies like her—if she’s hitting people in your hospital today, she’ll be killing them tomorrow! Are you just going to ignore that? In that case, we’ll just call the police, check the surveillance footage, and see who started it!"
Trying to smooth things over, the staff mber said to Eve Vaughn, "Miss, how about you apologize and get this lady’s forgiveness? After all, you getting into a big fight has already hurt our hospital. If they insist on pursuing this, the hospital may have no choice but to discharge your mother."
Eve Vaughn’s face fell, and she clenched her fists tightly.
Of course, she didn’t want to apologize. She hadn’t done anything wrong. It was Lana Chambers and Charlotte Vaughn who had provoked her first.
Besides, this was the most suitable hospital in Rivaster in terms of both technology and cost. It offered the best value for money.
If her mother were kicked out of this hospital, she probably wouldn’t be able to find a better one.
Charlotte Vaughn crossed her arms, looking smug and arrogant. "Eve Vaughn, you slapped my mother today, and you hit last ti. This ti, slap yourself in the face ten tis, and we’ll call it even!"
Eve Vaughn was so enraged that her eyes turned red, and her whole body trembled slightly.
She thought she would have to swallow this injustice. For her mother’s sake, she was willing to do anything.
But just then, the phone in the security office rang.
It was unclear what was said on the other end, but the head of security was bowing and scraping as he answered the phone.
When he hung up, Lana Chambers and Charlotte Vaughn were still waiting with keen anticipation for Eve Vaughn to slap her own face.
But the guard walked over and said, "Ladies, please leave our hospital imdiately."
"What did you say?" Lana Chambers’s eye twitched. "Eve Vaughn hasn’t apologized or admitted she was wrong, and you’re telling us to leave? There’s no way it’s that easy!"
The guard said in a cold voice, "This ca from higher-ups. From now on, both of your nas will be permanently on our hospital’s blacklist. If you don’t leave right now, we’ll have to throw you out!"
Lana Chambers was completely blindsided by this reversal. Pointing at the guard, she said, "You lackey, throwing your weight around! Believe it or not, I’m going to expose all of you when I get out of here."
The security captain chuckled. "We also just received word that you two are about to be joined by marriage to the Lawson family, Rivaster’s top family. If you expose us, then we’ll have no choice but to post the footage of you acting like shrews, pulling hair, and screaming in public, for all the world to see."
Lana Chambers and Charlotte Vaughn were so furious they almost coughed up blood. They couldn’t for the life of them understand how things had taken such a sudden turn.
Eve Vaughn was stunned for a long mont, too. Why did she get the feeling that fate is secretly on her side? Even a situation like this could be turned around?
Lana Chambers and Charlotte Vaughn had no choice but to swallow their anger and leave resentfully.
As they left, they couldn’t resist throwing a final threat at Eve Vaughn. "You wretched girl, this isn’t over!"
Not long after, Mason Lawson’s assistant, Neil Kane, ca in and said, "Miss Vaughn, everything has been taken care of. Mr. Lawson is waiting for you in his car."
"Assistant Kane?" Eve Vaughn asked in disbelief, "Don’t tell ... Was it Uncle who handled this?"
Neil Kane smiled. "Who else? People don’t ddle in others’ business these days. Not unless it’s for soone they know."
And just like that, Eve Vaughn was led to Mason Lawson’s car.
"Uncle..." Rembering how she had left without a word last ti, Eve Vaughn felt ashad. She said quietly, "Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I definitely would have been in a bad spot. But... why are you here?"
Mason Lawson frowned as he looked at the young woman’s ssy hair. "I happened to be visiting a friend at this hospital and saw you being bullied. I just helped out since I was here."
Eve Vaughn was incredibly grateful. Her bright, dark eyes, shimring with unshed tears, gazed at him like those of a small fawn.
Mason Lawson’s heart skipped a beat. He averted his gaze and said, "Going back to school? I’ll give you a ride."
"Oh, okay."
Eve Vaughn still hadn’t recovered from the frightening ordeal and was silent for the entire ride.
Just then, her phone rang. When she answered, it was a call from Keystone Law.
"Hello, Miss Vaughn, this is Mr. Spencer’s secretary. After a eting with the other partners, and in light of your difficult financial situation, we can consider taking your case now and arranging for you to pay later."
The secretary found the whole thing ridiculous even as she spoke. A case worth twenty million, and it required a eting with the other partners? Normally, the boss wouldn’t even glance at a case worth less than two billion.
But Eve Vaughn didn’t know about any of this, much less that the cases Jonah Spencer took on were typically valued in the hundreds of millions.
Filled with excitent, she looked at Mason Lawson pleadingly. "Uncle, Keystone Law is on the way to my school. Could you stop there for a mont?"
Mason Lawson nodded impassively. "Alright."
It was as if his rescuing her and now taking her to Keystone Law were all pure coincidence. It had nothing to do with any romantic feelings.
Eve Vaughn checked her reflection in the mirror again, smoothed down her hair, and carefully fixed her appearance.
Out of the corner of his eye, Mason Lawson watched the innocent and naive young woman beside him, lost in thought.
