Chapter 29
"I'll go." Coralie Chariott said.
Coralie's mother, who did not sleep well last night, was still resting and had no idea that Wayne hit one
of the nurses.
"Sister, don't talk to them. I'm the one who did it. I'm willing to go to jail." Wayne Chariott said.
Wayne did not want to trouble Coralie.
"Don't be stupid. I'll go out and talk to them. I'll be back in a minute." Coralie said.
Coralie knew about Wayne's good intentions, but she only had one younger brother. "How could I bear
to let him ruin his future for standing up for me?" she thought.
However, when Coralie stepped out, she found that things were not as simple as she thought.
Two family members of the nurse came. One man and one woman. It seemed like they were the
nurse's parents.
"I'm sorry, my brother wasn't sensible..." Coralie apologized.
"What do you mean? Let me tell you, my daughter is so beautiful. Now she has been beaten by your
brother. Don't think that you can get away with this matter just by saying a few words!"
Before Carolie could finish speaking, the nurse's mother spoke first.
She had put up a warning.
"Dear, let her finish first." the man said.
The nurse's father seemed to be more sensible. Seeing that his wife was so aggressive, he persuaded
her.
"Finish what? Can't you figure out what she wants to say?" The nurse's mother was a little plump. She
put her hands on her waist and pointed at Coralie, "If you're not willing to pay, your brother will go to
jail!" she threatened.
Her voice was so loud that it rang through the whole ward.
"Madam, please lower your voice. This is the ward. If you speak so loudly, it will affect other patients
who are resting."
A nurse came over and kindly reminded the nurse's mother.
Unexpectedly, she sat down on the ground and burst into tears upon hearing that. "You are all bullies! I
only have one precious daughter, but now she got beaten up by this thug. She was as beautiful as a
flower, but now she might not have the chance of getting married! You still want me to lower my voice.
Why would you bully me like that?" she weeped.
When Wayne heard the logic of the nurse's mother, he almost rushed out to beat her. Fortunately, the
police held him down.
Coralie stood in the corridor with a confused look on her face. Without saying anything, the nurse's
mother had already put her in a difficult spot.
"I know, it's my brother's fault, and we do not plan on shirking responsibility." Coralie asserted.
Coralie finally found an opening to express how she felt.
"Then you'll pay for it!" the woman yelled.
As the nurse's mother sat on the ground, she had only one thing on her mind—to get the money!
"Fine, fine, your daughter got hurt. It is logical that we have to pay, but our family is not doing well
economically. You should know that both my mother and brother are in the hospital." Coralie said.
Coralie tried to gain pity to avoid them thinking that she was rich, and were going to request a large
sum of money.
"You don't have money? Don't think that we don't know. You are a mistress, and your lover is rich." the
woman uttered.
Coralie initially wanted to pretend to be kind and have a good talk with them, but now she decided not
to play nice. "What evidence do you have?" she asked.
"Evidence? My daughter said it, and everyone in the hospital knows it." the woman replied.
"Honey, it's just a rumor. Don't..." the man clarified.
The nurse's father wanted to persuade her against making false claims.
"Shut up! What do you know? She looks so beautiful. How can she not be a mistress? You men are all
the same. When you see a beautiful woman, you all lose your mind."
The nurse's mother scolded her husband instantly.
At first glance, the nurse's father looked like a very timid person. He probably had no say in their family
affairs at home.
"Defamation is a felony. Do you know that?" Coralie implied.
Coralie looked at the nurse's mother and suddenly understood her brother's reactions. If Wayne had
not already made a mistake and her mother was sick, she might have lashed out at her!
"Defamation? What evidence do you have to prove that I defamed you?"
The nurse's mother sneered. She saw Coralie's beauty which reinforced her idea that she was a
mistress.
"What evidence do you have to prove that you are not defaming me?" Coralie said.
Carolie had been holding her mobile phone and had secretly pressed the recording button. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Evidence? Everyone in the hospital knows. And you are asking for evidence?" the woman repeated.
"Does it mean that if everyone in the hospital said something, it must be true?" Coralie queried.
At this moment, Coralie was still attempting to negotiate logically with the nurse's mother.
"You are a mistress! Don't think that you won't have to pay by scaring me like this! Let me tell you, my
daughter is more beautiful than you. If you don't compensate me with 30 to 50 thousand dollars, I will
escalate this!"
The nurse's mother shouted.
Coralie saw that there was nothing much to talk about. She took out her mobile phone, played the
recording, and said to the police next to her, "Mr. Police, I have a recording here. I want to get a lawyer
to sue this woman for defamation."
After all, she graduated from college, so she knew how to protect herself with the laws as her weapons.
"You! You're a shameless woman. How dare you record an audio?" the woman yelled.
Seeing this, the nurse's mother was anxious. She launched herself towards Coralie, trying to snatch
away the phone.
The police officer immediately pulled Coralie away. The nurse's mother fell to the ground.
In fact, the police could not bear it any longer, but he could not get involved in this matter.
"I understand, Ms. Chariott. All of us here can prove that your recording is genuine and effective."
The police said.
The nurse's mother was so mad that she caused a scene on the ground. "You are a shameless
woman. You hurt my daughter. It's OK if you don't want to pay for it, but you still want to sue us? It's not
fair at all. Why is it that only ordinary people like us always get bullied?" she growled.
"My brother hurt your daughter. I will pay for that fairly. Don't you think you can blackmail me. As for the
defamation, I will also press charges. Don't even think about running away." Coralie emphasized.
Coralie stood there firmly.
At first, the nurse's mother tried to blackmail her, but seeing this, she felt weak.
She also knew in her heart that it was just a rumor that Coralie was a mistress. No one had actually
seen Coralie's rich lover.
She noticed that Coralie didn't wear any expensive clothing or jewelry. It seemed like only the bracelet
she wore was worth something.
But she did not know much about emerald.
Such a person was probably not the mistress of a rich man.
When Coralie returned to the ward, Wayne, who was held down by the police, could not hold back his
excitement. He said to Coralie, "Sister, you're so awesome! You actually thought of recording! Let's see
if they still dared to talk nonsense in the future!"
"Ms. Chariott, are you going to press charges?"
Asked the policeman next to her.
Just as Coralie was hesitating, the nurse's father entered the ward. He politely apologized to Coralie
and said, "Young lady, my wife has a terrible behavior. We are uncultured, unlike you educated people.
Please go easy on us...."
