Chapter 251: Chapter 251 But You Insulted My People

Leah Diaz turned around and saw Little Wood.

The child immediately let go of her hand, still on alert, but his eyes were fixed on Leah Diaz, clearly not wanting her to leave.

"Little Wood, be good, Mommy is going to buy clothes and will be back soon," Leah Diaz said, holding back her heartache and quickly descended the stairs.

"How did it go?" Yolanda Greenwood approached as she saw Leah coming out.

Leah’s face was urgent, "I want to buy some clean clothes for the child; he has no change of clothes left."

"Ah, the change of clothes are in the cupboard; there’s no need to buy new ones, I will find them," the old lady shouted impatiently.

Leah glared at the old lady, teeth clenched, "Those clothes can’t be worn. I’ll settle the score with you all later."

At this moment, Richard Reyes got out of the car and ran over, "President, do you have any orders?"

"Go buy a few sets of clothes for the child..." Cooper Coldson looked towards Yolanda.

"Little Wood is seven years old this year, and he’s a boy," Yolanda immediately reminded.

Cooper nodded and added, "Go and come back quickly."

Richard hurried off in the car.

"Thank you," Leah looked at Cooper Coldson and then at Yolanda.

Cooper spoke with a cool tone, "You can start settling the score now."

The old lady and Julian Howard immediately changed their expressions.

Leah looked at them with hatred, "You’ve always asked me to send money from abroad for Little Wood’s treatment, but what happened? Where did all the money go? He doesn’t even have a single clean, suitable change of clothes— are you even human?"

"You don’t know how expensive it is to run a household without doing it yourself, do you know how much it costs to treat Little Wood?" Julian Howard said confidently, "Where is the money to buy him clothes?"

Yolanda snorted from the side, "But that outfit you’re wearing isn’t cheap; it must also cost a couple of thousand, right?"

"..." Julian Howard stiffened his neck, "This was gifted to me!"

"Where are the receipts?" Leah spoke again, "Whether it’s for buying medicine or injections at the main hospital, can you produce any receipts?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, "Over the years, the money I’ve sent back amounts to no less than five hundred thousand, right?"

"They were thrown away long ago; who keeps such unlucky things?" the old lady sneered.

This was clearly sheer sophistry!

"At which hospital was he treated? Which pharmacy dispensed the medications?" Yolanda was truly aggravated, "For a case like Little Wood’s, there would be medication records."

Both mother and son fell silent.

At that moment, Richard Reyes returned, and Leah took the clothes upstairs and quickly changed Little Wood.

"Little Wood, do you want to go with Mommy?"

At first, the child still refused, but he obviously understood that Leah was about to leave, and ultimately, he took the initiative to grab onto Leah’s clothes and followed her downstairs.

Once downstairs, Leah noticed an ambulance parked not far away.

Yolanda stepped forward a few paces, "The Coldson Group owns a very good Women’s and Children’s Hospital. Is it okay if we take Little Wood there first?"

"Yolanda, thank you so much," Leah was very emotional.

She took a few steps towards Cooper Coldson, about to kneel, but was pulled up by Cooper.

"Stop, you won’t be shortchanged a penny for medical expenses."

"Okay, okay, I won’t be short a penny," Leah felt much relieved hearing Cooper say that.

Cooper then looked towards Yolanda, "You go with her."

Yolanda was a bit surprised, "Aren’t you coming with us?"

"The money Leah sent, we need to figure out a way to get it back," Noah Coldson smirked and exchanged a glance with Cooper Coldson.

At that moment, the brothers were in rare agreement.

"Rest assured, I’ll come to find you in a bit." Noah Coldson saw Yolanda Greenwood and the others off.

When the old lady and Julian Howard saw Leah Diaz and the others leave, they hastily continued to demand money from Cooper Coldson, "Five million, when will you transfer it?"

"That’s right, I need to give you the card number." Julian Howard began to search through his phone for the bank account number.

Cooper Coldson found the two people in front of him to be foolish and greedy, which he thought was laughable.

Impatient, he spoke up, "I asked you to apologize, and you did not. Now you remember to ask for money? Too late!"

"What do you mean?" the old woman’s eyes widened, "Didn’t we just with Leah..."

"Leah?" Cooper Coldson frowned, "Leah Diaz? Sorry, I’m not close to her, and I wouldn’t spend five million for her."

"..." Julian Howard stretched his neck out, "Are you trying to back out?"

"Five million, to me, is just a number; I don’t care about it at all," said Cooper Coldson, his gaze cold. "But you insulted my person and have yet to apologize, so, this five million, I can only use it against you."

"You... are you asking us to apologize to that Yolanda?" Julian Howard realized belatedly, "But she has already left, hasn’t she?"

"That’s why it’s too late!"

"Oh my god," who knew that at this time, the old lady suddenly sat down on the ground, "These bandits, they took away my grandson, someone come and judge this!"

She cried and wailed, trying to attract more people.

However, Cooper Coldson didn’t care at all, stepped forward, and said with a smile, "Do you know how many issues five million can settle? Even if it’s your lives that are taken, it would be done with ease."

The old woman was immediately scared and shut her mouth tightly, shivering as she watched Cooper Coldson.

"Mom, let it be, Little Wood is a burden anyway, let them take him away," Julian Howard squatted next to the old lady.

Cooper Coldson straightened up, looking down at the two people, "Listen well, five hundred thousand, I’ll give you one month to transfer it to Leah Diaz’s account, otherwise, I will cut off all your future means of survival."

He glanced at Noah Coldson, who hadn’t spoken a word, "Big brother, do you have anything you want to add?"

Noah Coldson shook his head. In that moment, he witnessed for the first time the power of money.

Although also a member of the Coldson Family, it wasn’t easy for Noah Coldson to come up with five million all at once.

But for Cooper Coldson, the Patriarch of the Coldson Family, it was nothing. Not to mention five million, but all the money in Coldson Group’s accounts was at his disposal.

He finally understood that this was what he had chosen to give up years ago and what Cooper Coldson persevered to earn.

The two quickly left, leaving behind the old lady and Julian Howard sobbing and holding their heads.

Arriving at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Little Wood had been arranged and was undergoing a thorough examination.

"Little Wood is now very dependent on Sister Leah. Although he doesn’t speak or call her ’mom,’ he must recognize her," Yolanda Greenwood said with a sad face.

"Don’t worry, this hospital has Gray City’s best pediatricians, they will take good care of Little Wood." Noah Coldson spoke softly.

Yolanda Greenwood nodded, then turned to Cooper Coldson and said, "Thank you."

Cooper Coldson shifted his gaze away, yet the corners of his mouth uncontrollably curled up into a small smile.

Yolanda Greenwood went to say goodbye to Leah Diaz and Little Wood, preparing to return to Lola Gold’s place.

Coming back to the car, Cooper Coldson let Yolanda Greenwood get in the car, taking a seat in the back.

Just as he was also about to get in, sitting next to Yolanda Greenwood, he was suddenly pulled back by Noah Coldson.

"You sit in the front. Yolanda is not in a good mood, I’ll accompany her."

He spoke so naturally; without waiting for Cooper Coldson to react, he got in the car.

Cooper Coldson gritted his teeth, got in the car anyway, and took the innermost seat.

In this way, the three people in the back seat, Yolanda Greenwood sat in the middle, with Cooper Coldson and Noah Coldson on either side.

Richard Reyes suddenly felt a shiver run through his scalp.
