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 who
knew 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.
Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
“Leia has gone too far!" Jack was so angry that he mmed the table with his palm.
Mr. Lucas, who was standing beside Jack, trembled with fear. He immediately said, "Mr. Norman, calm
down."
"She said terrible things. How am I supposed to calm down?" Jack''s face was red with anger. If he had
not taken the antihypertensive medication this morning, his blood pressure would have shot up
because 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 to
educate their children. It seemed like Leia did not think it was enough to cause trouble herself and
wanted to drag Jack into this.
Mr. Lucas said in a soft voice, "Don''t worry, I''ve already read thements online. Even though your
name is mentioned in thements, most of them are only talking about Ms. Norman, saying that she
doesn''t deserve to be your daughter. They''replimenting what you''ve done for the citizens. That''s
why Ms. Norman isn''t unworthy of such a good father..."
"Is that really so?" Jack frowned. He thought thements online would speak ill of him and im that
he had failed to educate his daughter.
"Yes. The witnesses at the scene spoke up for you. If you continue watching the video, you''ll realize
that thements about you were mostly talking about this. Someone evenmented that you were
strict 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.
"I''ll have to waste my time reading theirments if you refuse to tell me," said Jack. "Tell me. I won''t
me you."
"Those people suggested you sever ties with Leia. The two of you are not rted to each other
anyway. You''ve fulfilled your obligations to her for so many years. This time, you spent so much money
on 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 were
speaking up for Jack.
Some of thementers 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 thementers startedmenting, thements after that were the deepest thoughts of the
netizens.
All of them thought that Jack should not be supporting Leia anymore. Leia had grown up long ago, yet
she 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 suchments.
Mr. Lucas could not help but think it made sense too.
“Did theizens really write something like that?” Jack was surprised. He thought the public would
make 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 theirments. Most of thementers
feel bad for you.." said Mr. Lucas.
Jack nodded and closed the video. What Leia did in the video annoyed him. She was behaving like a
shrew, 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 after
that?
Jack could sense how scary Leia was. His hatred for Leia was no longer as little as it was before. What
Leia did in the past had already used up all his patience and kindness that he could shower on his
child. 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 thosements online. Inform me immediately if there''s anything wrong." Jack did
not 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 meetingter?" asked Jack.
"Yes, Mr. Norman. You have 10 minutes to rest before the meeting," Mr. Lucas confirmed with him after
ncing 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 the
family 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 avoid
things from getting bigger," replied Luke. He was telling Jack that he was not concerned about Leia, but
it 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 inte. Johann had no idea
why Leia ran into Dexter either. The hospital''s 12th floor is getting disinfected today. Leia had to head
downstairs for the check-up. He even scheduled Dexter''s check-up for half an hourter, but Dexter still
ran into Leia."
Luke exined it on behalf of Johann. It was also to let Jack think that Johann had nothing to do with
this.
"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''s
and 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 was
their n.
"I know. At least everything is still under control now. Luke, you''re closer to Dr. Park. Remind him to pay
more attention to Leia''s health and don''t give her the chance to make a scene," Jack said in a serious
tone. He was very unhappy with what had happened today.
"Okay. I know what to do," replied Luke.
Jack nced at the time and said, "I''ll also need you to follow up on this matter. As for Dexter, he might
make 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 yed his role.
Hence, Luke did not feel sorry for losing Dexter as his tool.
