Chapter 74: 074 Pinch, warning, worthy of the Demon King (2 updates) Chapter 74: 074 Pinch, warning, worthy of the Demon King (2 updates) Zoe Bell was just copying so paperwork when she heard soone rush into the ward, “Miss Bell, are you there?”
“Hmm?”
She ca out of the washroom to see a nurse panting and pointing outside, “You’d better go take a look.”
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s that Mina Bell, saying bad things about you…” the nurse gasped for air, regaining her breath before continuing, “which offended Mr. Hale, prompting him to have her beaten.”
“Is that so?” Zoe wiped the water droplets off her face, “How bad was the beating?”
“Pretty severe, you’d better go check it out.”
Those who lived in this ward were mostly from Greenland’s influential families. Everyone knew to stay out of trouble; so even went back to their wards to watch the drama unfold, not daring to intervene.
Seeing this, the dical staff were perplexed.
These were people they couldn’t afford to offend, so they could only go looking for Zoe Bell.
“Don’t be in a rush.” Zoe left the room at a leisurely pace, thinking to herself that Mina really had a screw loose. Why provoke William Hale for no good reason?
Once wasn’t enough, and now there was a second ti!
She was really asking for it.
By the ti she arrived, the slapping had stopped.
Kyle Lowe’s hand was heavy and rciless; Mina’s face was already in the healing phase, and now…
He had wrecked it again.
Blood oozed from both corners of her mouth, her face swollen and red with blood, the finger marks clearly visible.
She was having difficulty speaking, slumping to the ground with tears incessantly falling.
“What happened?” Zoe asked, not understanding, only looking at Wyatt Hale.
Wyatt Hale: “Loose lips.”
“Ugh—” Mina’s mouth was so swollen at this point that her mouth was full of blood, making it impossible for her to speak at that mont.
Zoe nodded and Wyatt Hale looked down at her: “Why are you out? Are you hungry?”
“I’m fine.”
Mina’s face hurt badly.
She couldn’t rember how many tis she’d been hit; her entire face was numb.
Having been beaten up like that, he only cared if Zoe was hungry?
It was an insult!
Did they even care about her at all?
anwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher, who had heard the noise and ca rushing in, had treated Mina as their own daughter for many years and naturally loved her dearly. Mr. Fletcher straightforwardly said, “I’m going to call the police, you’re far too reckless, completely disregarding the law!”
“Fine, then let’s tell the police about everything that happened before,” William Hale said, looking at Mina.
As their gaze t, she felt a chill run down her spine.
He was referring to the ti she undressed to seduce him.
No,
That absolutely cannot happen!
“No—” She hurriedly stopped her adoptive father who was about to call the police.
“Fiona, don’t be afraid. Once the police get here, I don’t believe he would dare to be so brazen. They will surely stand up for you,” Mrs. Fletcher said, full of sympathy.
“Don’t, don’t call.” Mina struggled to speak, “We were… just playing around.”
“What are you talking about?” Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher were baffled.
“It’s really nothing, I’m fine.”
While speaking, Mina propped herself up with her hands, hastily got up, “Don’t call, we can’t call the police.”
“What are you so afraid of? Even if he has power, it’s nothing compared to the law,” Mr. Fletcher was desperate.
Such disputes were of no use even if the police ca, as long as Mina didn’t pursue the matter.
The onlookers suddenly understood.
Previously they thought William Hale dared to do this because he felt Mina wouldn’t dare provoke him or the Hale Family behind him.
But actually,
It wasn’t just these things that she dreaded.
William Hale really had her firmly under his control.
This beating was given in vain.
Wyatt Hale was taken aback.
So, why provoke the Demon King in the first place?
It’s just idiotic!
Today was the day Mina was supposed to be discharged from the hospital, and as her biological parents, Kevin Bell and his wife naturally ca to pick their daughter up. Finding nobody in the ward and not being able to get through on the phone, they went to the nurse’s station to inquire and only then discovered that sothing had happened.
By the ti the two of them arrived, Mr. Fletcher had grabbed Kevin Bell’s arm, “You quickly persuade Fiona, she’s been beaten up like this and she still doesn’t let call the police, aren’t the Bell Family very influential in Greenland? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t let her suffer the slightest grievance?”
“You and your wife could at least help her out.”
“What happened?” As Vivi Lange saw Mina Bell’s battered appearance, then turned to look at William Hale and Zoe Bell, her heart started pounding.
Everything had been fine, so why had they run into them again!
“I’m fine.”
Mina Bell, worried that the video of her undressing to seduce William Hale would be released, hurriedly pulled everyone to leave.
Kevin Bell and his wife knew there must be more to the story but said nothing.
The Fletchers wanted to call the police, but Mina Bell was the first to disagree, so they had no choice.
“President Bell,” William Hale began.
Kevin turned his head to look at him, “Mr. Hale, what is it?”
“Keep a close eye on her, my patience is really limited, I can’t stand to see her jumping around in front of ti and again,” William Hale said with a deep glance at him.
“The Bell Group didn’t beco what it is today easily, I heard it was founded by your father.”
“Be careful what you say and do, don’t drag the whole Bell Family down with you.”
Kevin’s mouth twitched fiercely.
This was a blatant warning!
He felt mortified and aggrieved inside. William was only five years older than Zoe Bell, and though by age he was just a junior, he had already been disrespectful several tis, leaving Kevin feeling humiliated.
But there was nothing he could do, he couldn’t get the better of him.
All he could do was to grit his teeth and swallow the indignity.
He nodded with a smile, “Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Hale, I’ll rember that.”
After William finished speaking, he looked toward Zoe Bell, “Let’s go back for our al, breakfast must be cold by now.”
“Okay.”
Zoe only smiled and watched him.
The two of them seed to have a very good relationship.
Which almost made Mina Bell spit blood with rage.
After being discharged and returning ho, Kevin and his wife learned from the rumor mill that Mina had spilled the family’s private affairs, turning their faces blue with anger.
“Didn’t I tell you that this matter must not be spoken of?” Kevin was so angry he almost wanted to hit her, except her face had already been battered beyond recognition, and he had no place to strike.
All he could do was grind his teeth and warn her, “I will get a doctor to treat you at ho, and you must stay at ho for the ti being, don’t go anywhere.”
“Dad, are you trying to put under house arrest?”
“I’m doing this for your own good!”
“I think you’re afraid of William Hale. Since it’s true that Zoe seduced your brother, do we need to be afraid of her? Just tarnish her reputation and let the Hale Family know, they’ll pressure William Hale, and naturally, he will leave that stinking girl, Zoe,” Mina analyzed.
“With our company in the state it is, I refuse to believe that William Hale hasn’t been fanning the flas behind the scenes.”
“As long as he stops interfering, the crisis for our family will be lifted.”
Kevin and his wife exchanged a look.
Vivi Lange said, “After all, this is a disgrace to the family.”
“Exactly,” sighed Kevin, “you said it in public today, does anyone believe it?”
“We could get your brother to co back and verify it.”
“Because of her, your brother has had a huge falling out with us, I doubt he would be willing,” Vivi Lange sighed repeatedly, “If only we had known, we would never have adopted her.”
“He was young back then, but now he’s grown up and he knows who truly has his best interests at heart.”
At that mont, Kevin had also reached a dead end, unable to get any money.
If things kept going like this, they wouldn’t even be able to pay their employees.
Perhaps,
they could try this thod.

Elsewhere
Zoe Bell didn’t yet know what had happened, and as William Hale usually hid his feelings well, nothing could be discerned, but Wyatt Hale, with his gaze fluttering all over the place, finally rested on her.
She approached him, “Wyatt, what did Mina just say?”
“Nothing much.”
Wyatt Hale coughed twice, opened his thermos to take a sip of water, and then sidestepping the issue, said lightly, “Mina is just brain-dead. She said you like .”
“She’s not wrong.”
“Huh?”
“I do like you.”
The expression on usually unflappable William Hale’s face finally softened, while Wyatt Hale looked like he was facing a great enemy, his face turning white with fright.
