Chapter 1732
[ 575 words ]
“What if she doesn’t know what she’s doing and causes a secondary injury?”
A girl barged into the room, snapping at them before she even fully entered.
When Claire got a clear look at the intruder, she thought it was quite a coincidence. It was Evie Grant.
Wasn’t this girl supposed to be in Montara?
Why was she in Cabinda? No wonder she sounded so aggressive—had she recognized Claire?
“Evie!”
Quentin hadn’t expected Evie to be so rude and immediately tried to stop her.
“What? I’m not wrong. Does she really think learning a little basic medicine makes her comparable to the specialists at the central hospital?”
“Randall is a top orthopedic authority that your mom worked so hard to get for you.”
“He said you’ll have permanent side effects. Do you think he’s lying?”
“And this woman—she’s your partner, right? Are you actually listening to her?”
“I heard that since you dropped out, she entered the international competition with someone else and won an opportunity to join the dance troupe.”
“Who knows if she was the one who pushed you down the stairs?”
“Look at her now, stepping over you to take all the benefits for herself.”
Claire looked at Yolande, amused. What a coincidence. They had suspected Yorick Thorne, but this girl was accusing Yolande.
Yolande clenched her fists. “It seems we’re not needed here. Let’s go, Claire.”
“Hold on!” Evie glared viciously at Claire.
“I was wondering why you always go against me. In Montara, you ruined my chance
to join my uncle’s team, and now you’re trying to help someone steal my fiancé?”
“Evie!” Quentin couldn’t believe the nonsense she was spouting.
“Quentin, do you have no heart? I dropped my studies and traveled all the way from Montara to Cabinda to take care of you, and you’re yelling at me?”
Evie looked at him in disbelief.
They had grown up together. Not only was Quentin not defending her, but he was also protecting someone else.
“Who exactly caught your eye?”
She pointed an accusing finger at Claire and Yolande. “Is it Claire, or this cheap tramp?”
“Slap-” Claire didn’t hesitate for a
Her palm met Evie’s cheek
with a sharp crack
sharp crack Who gave you
the right to insult my sister?”
Evie was completely caught off guard by the strike.
Clutching her stinging cheek, she lunged at Claire. “Ah! You dared to hit me! I’ll kill you!”
Yolande hadn’t reacted at first, but
seeing Evie trying to attack her
cousin, she instinctively steppe
front of Claire.
Seeing Evie aiming her claws at Yolande’s face, there was no way Claire was going
to hold back.
But the person even more furious was Ewan.
“Who the hell is this psycho?”
He was so angry he almost stood up, but his condition wouldn’t allow it.
Fortunately, Claire handled it flawlessly, delivering a swift kick that sent Evie flying back.
Evie hit the ground hard, wincing in pain as she realized her tailbone was bruised.
“I’m calling the police! You assaulted me!”
She was smart enough to stay on the floor, screaming about the cops.
“Do you think you can just beat people up because you’re from Cabinda?”
“And Quentin, how could you just watch them hit me?”
“Aren’t you afraid your mom…”
Evie shouldn’t have brought up his mother. The moment she did, Quentin’s expression grew even colder.
“You provoked them first, and you started the name-calling. Didn’t you bring this upon yourself?”
By now, Claire and Yolande were standing calmly, unbothered by the chaos.
Claire looked down at Evie. “Go
ahead and call the police. I suspect
you’re a spy who just launched a sudden attack on me.” .net>
“Maybe you’re retaliating because I ruined your chances of getting into the experimental base.”
