CHAPTER 300
Veronica followed Randall back into the ward. Monica, who had been sleeping had just awoken. When she saw Veronica, she couldn‘t help but wonder, “President Murphy, why are you here?”
Veronica then placed all of the gifts on the ground before walking to the escort chair beside the bed to sit. She tilted her head to look at Monica and said, “I‘m sorry. I didn‘t expect this kind of thing to happen. You‘ve suffered a lot.”
“Fortunately, you and your child are safe, or else I really wouldn‘t know how to face you,” she said, slightly frowning and looking at the child in the arms of the elderly woman.
“It‘s okay.”
“I was just pushed by accident and fell,” Monica said as she sat up and leaned against the head of the bed.
“What do you mean by accident? Thank goodness the child is fine. Otherwise, I wouldn‘t be able to live with you,” Randall snarled, before adding, “You should rest at home because you‘re pregnant, but you just had to go to work. Shouldn‘t a woman stay at home to look after her husband and children?”
His words were especially vexing. Because Veronica was present, Monica awkwardly smiled at her before saying kindly to Randall, “It‘s best if the child is okay. Don‘t be angry.”
“Are you the boss of my daughter–in–law? You just stated that you would compensate us. How much will you compensate?” Mrs. Watson‘s eyes shone brightly as she turned to face Veronica.
Veronica was born in the countryside, so she was clear of what the woman was thinking
“I would like to discuss this with Monica,” she said politely.
“There is no need for recompense, President Murphy. Shir had informed me that you would give each employee three months‘ pay for dismissal. This is sufficient.”
She knew that Veronica‘s wedding company was doomed. It didn‘t make much money at first, but by this point, it had gone bankrupt.
Furthermore, Veronica treated her well during her working days, and she couldn‘t bear the thought of requesting compensation from Veronica.
“What do you mean, there‘s no need? You‘ve been hurt, and my son was almost
killed. She should pay at least one million dollars! Otherwise, I‘m not going to let her off the hook!”
Randall howled.
“Randy is right,” Mrs. Watson said before nodding.
As Monica listened to the two of them, her slightly haggard face was instantly dyed with a red glow, and she shook her head repeatedly. “Don‘t listen to them, President Murphy. You don‘t have to compensate me, believe me. I‘m perfectly fine. You only need to pay me three months‘ salary.”
“Shut up, you moron!”
“She has to pay one million today, and I won‘t let her go if she misses a single penny,” Randall scolded, pointing at Veronica.
As a result, Veronica became aware that she had been duped.
That was why Monica insisted on working even though she was pregnant. It seemed that her husband‘s family treated her badly.
“Of course, I will compensate, but one million..” Veronica smiled slightly, saying, “It‘s impossible.”
Since the establishment of her wedding company, Monica had indeed helped her a lot, so she came here today to visit her and discuss compensation.
She didn‘t expect Randall to have such an attitude.
“President Murphy, you can leave first. Let‘s talk about this some other time.” Monica was embarrassed by her mother–in–law and husband.
Hearing that, Veronica took out a bank card from her pocket and stuffed it into her hand, saying, “There‘s two hundred thousand in it. You can use it first, and we‘ll talk about other things later.”
“No need, President Murphy.”
“Have a good rest. I‘ll leave first.”
As soon as Veronica got up and was ready to exit the ward, Randall, who was unwilling to give up, rushed directly in front of her and scowled, “Try to leave if you dare.”
Seeing this, Mrs. Watson put the sleeping child that was in her arms in the cradle, walked over staggeringly, and stood in front of Veronica. “Don‘t think about leaving if you don‘t compensate us today.”
“Mother! Randall! What are you doing?” Monica yelled.
Although it was a natural childbirth, it took a long time for her to give birth because of the slow opening of the cervix.
Moreover, she bled a lot during childbirth, which was why she was so weak.
Therefore, her voice was so small to the point that her words were easily ignored.
Veronica looked at the two people standing in front of her with a gloomy expression and said coldly, “Get out of my way!”
“If you don‘t give us the money, we won‘t let you go!”
Their attitude was very tough, and with Mrs. Watson standing in front of her, she was indeed in a passive position.
However, at that moment, Randall‘s cell phone rang.
He glanced at his mobile phone‘s screen before looking outside subconsciously. The next second, he pushed Mrs. Watson to the ground ruthlessly.
“Mother? Mother, are you okay? Look at what you‘ve done. I let you in to talk about the compensation. How can you beat someone?” holds © this.
He pointed at Veronica and roared.
At this moment, the door of the ward was suddenly opened, and a bunch of reporters at the door were frantically filming Veronica with cameras.
Such good timing...
Veronica saw what was going on, and her pale face was red with rage.
“Miss Murphy, how can you beat an elderly?”
“I heard that you came here today to discuss the compensation, but why did you start a fight?”
“Look! This woman injured my wife, and she nearly died on the operating table. I let this woman come over to negotiate compensation, but she actually beat my old mother.”
“She thinks that just because she‘s the god–granddaughter of the King Family, she can do this.”
“Miss Murphy, what do you have to say about today‘s incident?”
The reporters blocked Veronica‘s path and did not let her leave, but they kept the microphones in front of her and continued filming.
“Randall, can you stop making things up?!”
Monica, who was on the hospital bed, stood up, supporting her body by leaning on the wall with her hands. She moved over a little bit, pointed to Mrs. Watson, who was lying on the ground, and said, “You guys are going too far! Miss Murphy came here today to talk about the compensation, but you keep demanding one million, and even making false accusations now. Your behavior is out of line!”
Everyone looked at Monica in unison, and Veronica also turned back. As she listened to Monica‘s words, she couldn‘t help but sigh.
Fortunately, justice was served.
However, things didn‘t always go in the right direction.
The next moment, Randall stood up and rushed towards Monica, grabbed her by the hair, and sent a slap across her face. He was not willing to give up and wanted to hit her again.
However, the next slap didn‘t land on Monica‘s face. Veronica stepped forward and pushed Randall away. When he saw this, he lifted his hand to hit Veronica.
Veronica had been defensive for a while, but she did not dare to make a move.
In the end, it was Monica who called the police to stop the farce.
However, the whole incident was circulated online within half an hour.
‘Encounters Bridal Store‘s employee demanded compensation, but was beaten up by the boss‘, ‘Mrs. King‘s god–granddaughter beats up an old woman, ‘Veronica beats up the injured innocent‘...
The news content was filled with malicious clips of the reporters, and it made the viewers think that it was Veronica who pushed Mrs. Watson to the ground and that she hit Randall when he denounced her.
As soon as the negative news was released, they were trending on the Internet.
