Female Novel
Chapter 2330
Leia was like a shrew. Not only was she sharp-tongued, but she also kicked Dexter.
Dexter even kneeled before her to ask for her forgiveness in the video. If Jack was a passerby whoknew nothing about this, he would have thought something was wrong with Leia too.
Leia had just finished her surgery, yet she had already gotten herself into trouble.
“Leia has gone too far!" Jack was so angry that he slammed the table with his palm.
Mr. Lucas, who was standing beside Jack, trembled with fear. He immediately said, "Mr. Norman, calmdown."
"She said terrible things. How am I supposed to calm down?" Jack's face was red with anger. If he hadnot taken the antihypertensive medication this morning, his blood pressure would have shot upbecause of the video.
Not only was Leia ruining her image, but she even tried to drag Jack into this.
Leia mentioned Jack Norman's name many times in the video.
Although Leia was only emphasizing that she was Jack's daughter, it was the parents' responsibility toeducate their children. It seemed like Leia did not think it was enough to cause trouble herself andwanted to drag Jack into this.
Mr. Lucas said in a soft voice, "Don't worry, I've already read the comments online. Even though yourname is mentioned in the comments, most of them are only talking about Ms. Norman, saying that shedoesn't deserve to be your daughter. They're complimenting what you've done for the citizens. That'swhy Ms. Norman isn't unworthy of such a good father..."
"Is that really so?" Jack frowned. He thought the comments online would speak ill of him and claim thathe had failed to educate his daughter.
"Yes. The witnesses at the scene spoke up for you. If you continue watching the video, you'll realizethat the comments about you were mostly talking about this. Someone even commented that you werestrict with Ms. Norman, but she was born rebellious. That's why this has nothing to do with you.
Someone also." Mr. Lucas paused for a moment and dared not to continue.
"What else?" Jack wanted to know what the public thought about this.
"Mr. Norman, I'm sorry but I dare not to tell you about this." Mr. Lucas lowered his head.novelbin
"I'll have to waste my time reading their comments if you refuse to tell me," said Jack. "Tell me. I won'tblame you."
"Those people suggested you sever ties with Leia. The two of you are not related to each otheranyway. You've fulfilled your obligations to her for so many years. This time, you spent so much moneyon her to save her life. But Ms. Norman is being ungrateful for treating her biological father this way.She might do the same thing to you in the future..." Mr. Lucas conveyed the messages that werespeaking up for Jack.
Some of the commenters were paid by Luke to lead public opinion. After all, Leia could not affect Jack.Even if Jack was affected, it had to be something positive.
Once the commenters started commenting, the comments after that were the deepest thoughts of thenetizens.
All of them thought that Jack should not be supporting Leia anymore. Leia had grown up long ago, yetshe had never fulfilled her duties as a daughter. Instead, she kept getting herself into trouble. The
surgery had cost the Norman family a fortune.
There were tons of such comments.
Mr. Lucas could not help but think it made sense too.
“Did the netizens really write something like that?” Jack was surprised. He thought the public wouldmake a big deal out of it and scold him for failing to educate his daughter.
“Everyone is talking about the same thing. I've been reading their comments. Most of the commentersfeel bad for you.." said Mr. Lucas.
Jack nodded and closed the video. What Leia did in the video annoyed him. She was behaving like ashrew, making a scene in the hospital hallway. She even kicked Dexter.
If it were not for Leia's weak body, would she have beat Dexter to death? Would she only stop afterthat?
Jack could sense how scary Leia was. His hatred for Leia was no longer as little as it was before. WhatLeia did in the past had already used up all his patience and kindness that he could shower on hischild. Now that Leia had gotten herself into trouble again, what was left was only hatred and disgust.
If it were not for Queenie, who was reluctant to part with Leia, Jack would have severed ties with Leia.
Even if he could not do that, he would send her abroad and leave her there to die.
"Keep an eye on those comments online. Inform me immediately if there's anything wrong." Jack didnot let his guard down. He was worried that his opponent would use this to start a rumor.
"Okay. Leave it to me," replied Mr. Lucas. He would be attentive in handling such things.
"Do I have a meeting later?" asked Jack.
"Yes, Mr. Norman. You have 10 minutes to rest before the meeting," Mr. Lucas confirmed with him afterglancing at the time.
"Okay. Please excuse me. I'd like to make a call." Jack picked up the phone beside him.
After Mr. Lucas left, Jack gave Luke a call.
The call was answered soon after, and Jack asked, "Luke, am I bothering you?"
"No. Are you calling me because of Leia's matter?" Luke guessed. Jack was a senior official, after all.He would find out about it as soon as something happened.
"It seems like you've already watched the video," said Jack. He narrowed his eyes and looked at thefamily photo on his office desk.
The photo was taken before Bianca got kidnapped.
The more Jack looked at Leia in the photo, the more she became an eyesore to him.
“Johann told me what happened in the hospital at the first instance. Leia pretended to pass out to avoidthings from getting bigger," replied Luke. He was telling Jack that he was not concerned about Leia, butit was Johann who told him about it.
"Did Dr. Park say that?" Jack wanted to find out what happened.
Luke replied, "It's roughly like what happened in the videos posted on the internet. Johann had no ideawhy Leia ran into Dexter either. The hospital's 12th floor is getting disinfected today. Leia had to headdownstairs for the check-up. He even scheduled Dexter's check-up for half an hour later, but Dexter stillran into Leia."
Luke explained it on behalf of Johann. It was also to let Jack think that Johann had nothing to do withthis.
"Such a coincidence still happened?" Jack frowned.
"Dexter has always wanted to meet Leia," said Luke. He would not let Jack find out that it was Johann'sand his arrangement.
After all, Leia was out of her mind. She spoke without thinking twice and considering where she was.This time, she even dragged Jack into this mess. Jack might be mad at him if he found out that it wastheir plan.
"I know. At least everything is still under control now. Luke, you're closer to Dr. Park. Remind him to paymore attention to Leia's health and don't give her the chance to make a scene," Jack said in a serioustone. He was very unhappy with what had happened today.
"Okay. I know what to do," replied Luke.
Jack glanced at the time and said, "I'll also need you to follow up on this matter. As for Dexter, he mightmake a big deal out of it after what happened today. I don't want to let this mess continue."
"Okay." Luke understood what he meant.
Dexter was just a tool. He could be thrown away after he had played his role.
Hence, Luke did not feel sorry for losing Dexter as his tool.
