Divorced

Rina’s position was undeniable–she was the spoiled princess of the Johnson family, with strong ties to Russell that made her untouchable. The doctors and nurses knew better than to challenge her.

The nurse was doing her best to intervene. “What are you doing? This is a hospital! You can’t just throw people out!”

“Get her out of here!” Rina ordered harshly.

“Stop!” Sidney rushed forward, blocking the doorway to his mother’s room. He glared at Rina, demanding,* Who are you? What right do you have to kick us out?”

Rina gave him a dismissive once–over and sneered, “I looked into your background. You can’t even afford the hospital bills, yet you think you can stay here? Where do you get the nerve? Do you think the hospital is a charity?”

Sidney’s expression darkened, but he stood tall, his voice cold as he said, “That’s none of your business! The hospital agreed to let us stay.”

Rina crossed her arms and glanced at the doctor beside her. “Oh, really? He can’t pay his bills, and the hospital agreed? Does Mr. Skyler Sr. know about this?”

It was a blatant threat.

One of the doctors stammered, “Miss Johnson, w–we’ll take care of it…”

Rina turned back to Sidney, her tone dripping with cruelty. “If you’re that poor, maybe you should stop seeking treatment and just die. The sooner you die, the sooner you can be reincarnated into a better life.”

“Smack!”

Her words were abruptly cut off by the sound of a sharp slap.

Rina clutched her face in disbelief, while everyone around them stood in stunned silence.

Aveline lowered her hand, her voice icy. “Miss Johnson, you’re supposed to be a refined lady. Is this how you behave?”

“You wretched woman, how dare you slap me!”

Rina was livid.

No one had ever treated her like this before. From a young age, everyone had treated her with the utmost respect no one had dared to even raise their voice at her, let alone strike her.

“Grab her! I want her face torn apart!” Rina screamed, commanding her bodyguards.

The bodyguards immediately moved to seize Aveline.

But just then, Mason and Jason stepped forward, flanking Aveline on either side, ready to protect her.

Rina’s expression darkened further. “Aren’t you Russell’s bodyguards? What are you doing here?”

Mason replied, “Miss Johnson, we’re now working as Miss Young’s bodyguards.”

Rina was on the verge of losing it. Russell had actually assigned his personal bodyguards to protect Aveline! This wretched woman–how dare shel

“Why are you all just standing there? Grab her!” she shouted at her remaining guards. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

The bodyguards moved toward Aveline, but none of them were a match for Mason and Jason. Within moments, most of them were incapacitated, lying on the floor of the hospital corridor.

The commotion in the hallway was intense.

Aveline turned to one of the nurses and asked, “Where do I pay the bill?”

The nurse, clearly nervous, replied, “I… I can take it here.”

Aveline walked over, paid the hospital fees, and then addressed the room. “Now, do any of you have a reason to kick them out?”

The doctors and nurses remained silent, unwilling to get involved in the mess unfolding before them. They were small players in this high–stakes confrontation, and all they could do was wait for it to end. Aveline then faced Rina. “Miss Johnson, I hope today’s events teach you a lesson. Your status doesn’t give you the right to do whatever you please. Even if you were the most powerful person in the world, when you deserve a beating, someone will deliver it.”

“You… you wretched woman!” Rina glared at her furiously. “You just wait–I won’t let you get away with this!”

Aveline raised an eyebrow. “With so many witnesses here today, if anything happens to me in the near future, you’ll be the prime suspect.”
