Chapter 871 The Worst Part of Human Nature

Lares, realizing Robin had ignored him, quickly crawled toward Karter.

"Captain Lynch, I-I made a mistake and offended Master Ramsey. Please, I beg you to speak on my behalf..." Before he could finish, Karter crushed his face underfoot, growling, "I don't know you!

He then turned to Robin, bowing deeply. "Master Ramsey, I will handle this ungrateful fool immediately!"

"I still have questions for him. Let him live a bit longer. Robin waved his hand, dismissing Karter's urgency.

"Travis and his wife saved him, but he repays his family's kindness with betrayal!

"This scoundrel doesn't deserve to live! I'll deal with him myself!"

Lares lay trembling on the floor. "Master Ramsey, I was wrong. Please, show mercy. I won't offend you again...

Robin shook his head with a cold gaze. "The worst part of human nature isn't just ingratitude-it's exploiting someone's downfall.

"You don't deserve to live. If you did, there would be no justice left in this world."

Lares had no words left.

He never imagined crossing paths with Master Ramsey from Dragon Palace.

What he couldn't understand was how Robin was connected to Delgado Enterprise.

With Robin supporting Delgado Enterprise, the Dixon and Cravens families were doomed.

Someone like him could effortlessly erase both families with the flick of finger.

The Plemouth elite families were probably celebrating by now.

With Ramsey in control, fighting for Delgado Enterprise's justice, no one would dare challenge him- whether the Dixons, Cravens, or any powerful family in Plemouth. Outside, the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the ICU window, casting playful shadows.

The fresh, damp morning air filled the room with a sense of renewal.

Plemouth, just waking up, buzzed with energy.

In this world, where people carried their daily burdens they didn't ask for much.

A soft summer rain, a quiet celebration-these simple things filled their hearts.

Letting go of worries seemed wise, but few could truly do it.

So these small celebrations became the perfect excuse to hope for better days.

In this fleeting moment, whether genuine or not, people just needed a reason to smile.

Behind those smiles, there might be unspoken fears, pain, or sadness, but the happiness of ordinary people was built on these small, simple joys.

Yet in the ICU, Lares wasn't in the mood to appreciate the sunlight.

For him, death seemed to be approaching too quickly.

Like everyone, Lares wanted to survive. He wasn't ready to dic.

At forty, in the prime of hi

life, he had everything to live for.

A respected doctor in Plemouth, he was also the general manager of St. Joshua Hospital Group.

He had a bright future, wealth, and a string of admirers

There were even gifts from grateful patients waiting for him...

Dying now? He couldn't accept that.

He glanced up at Robin, whose towering figure stood in the sunlight, and immediately understood.

He crawled over to Lucinda, desperately begging, "Mrs. Delgado, please, ask Master Ramsey to spare me. What I said earlier was a mistake!

"I won't work for the Dixons again! I'll follow you from now on and never betray you!

"If I'm ever ungrateful again, may my entire family perish!"

Lucinda raised an eyebrow, slightly moved by his pleading.noveldrama

After all, it wasn't often you'd see a man in his forties sobbing and begging for mercy.

Sensing that he had softened Lucinda's heart, Lares quickly continued.

"Mrs. Delgado, when my family fled Blisston for Plemouth, you and Travis saved us.

"You gave me a second chance. Please, for the sake of my wife and children, spare me!

"I've been a fool, a selfish man!

"But Mrs. Delgado, I'm just an ordinary man, Everything I did was because the Dixons forced me. I had no choice!

"The Dixons threatened to kill me and my family if I didn't comply.

"Please, Mrs. Delgado, please save us-"

..

Suddenly, the door to the ICU slammed open, interrupting his pleas.

A man and woman walked in.

The woman, in her forties, was heavily made-up and wore expensive clothes.

The man, in his twenties, carried an air of arrogance and smugness.

They were Lares' wife, Delia Shaw, and his son, Zeke Slaw.

When they saw Lares groveling before Lucinda, they were momentarily stunned.

After a moment of shock, Delia rushed to Lares, shouting, "Lares, what are you doing? Stop groveling before this woman! Get up!"

"Shut up!" Lares was momentarily stunned. Is she trying to rush me to my death?

Delia yelled again. "Their family is done for, so why are you still afraid of her? Get up!

"Mr. Camden is waiting for us at Delgado Tower! He even called to ask if you signed the hospital

transfer papers and told youvela

them! .

"You useless man, groveling before this woman! What's wrong with you?" "You'd better apologize to Mrs. Delgado!" Lares nearly lost his mind.

After all his efforts to soften

bring

Lucinda's heart, this foolish woman had ruined the delicate atmosphere he had worked so hard to create!

At that moment, bed to strangle Delia.

Delia shouted, "Lares, have you lost your mind? You want me to apologize to this woman? Or have

you lost your mind now that Dash is dying and are trying to get together with this seductive-"

Slap!

Lares slapped Delia across the face, shouting, "You crazy woman! Apologize to Mrs. Delgado now, or we'll all die!"

"Slap her!" Robin barked.

Ferell grabbed Delia by the hair and smashed her head against the ICU wall.

He followed up with a series of harsh slaps across her face.

Delia, dazed from the blows, still screeched, "You know I'm with the Dixons! If you hit me, you're dead!"

Slap, slap, slap!

Ferell continued his barrage.

"Anything else to say?" he growled, holding her by the hair.

"I-I'm with the Dixons-" Delia never finished before Ferell slapped her again.

"You're with the Dixons?" Then I'll slap you for that! Ferell said coldly. "Anything else?"

"No!" Delia was shaken, never having encountered such brutality. She dared not speak another word.

Zeke stood in stunned silence. "H-how dare you hit my mother! Do you have any idea who I am? I'm with Divon Groun!" Crack! Ferell kicked Lares' shoulder with brutal force.

Lares' right shoulder shattered, and both of his knees slammed into the floor with a painful crash.
