Chapter 315: Chapter 315: The Cause of His Annoyance
Yusuf Zuck knew that the two hundred million couldn’t be divided. Regardless of the amount, whether more or less, it would be problematic, leaving behind complications; and if not divided, that would make others hold grudges even more.
So Lucy Clayton had checkmated him.
"Is there something you can’t figure out? Do you need my help?" Ruth Wilcox suddenly asked at this point.
"Heh, I am a bit puzzled." After thinking for a while, Yusuf Zuck relayed to Ruth Wilcox the incident of Floyd Hart and others being beaten and hospitalized, as well as Brother Dao giving two hundred million and claiming it was a test, among other things.
"Two hundred million? That’s a hefty amount," Ruth Wilcox clicked her tongue. "Also, Floyd Hart and Nickel? Are they the former security guards from Fengdu?"
"Yes, it’s them. They resigned there and started working with me."
"Oh... But what Lucy Clayton said is correct. You’ve gathered so many people now, and without a proper company, for one, it’s not allowed by law; it’s considered an illegal assembly or gathering of unemployed vagabonds. Secondly, without bylaws, conflicts will inevitably arise in the future. Humans... have the most complex thoughts, which will change with their environment. So, if you want to keep them close, you better start a legitimate enterprise soon and establish related bylaws. Otherwise, you might as well disperse them early. Why bother with so many people?" Ruth Wilcox warned.
"Everything else is manageable, but the main issue right now is these two hundred million. What do you want me to do with it?" Yusuf Zuck had a plan, because after the Spring Festival, he intended to send these people away.
However, before sending them off, he really needed to plan carefully, or else big trouble could indeed arise in the future.
"It depends on how Lucy Clayton presented the check. Did he say it was for the patients or was it for you?"
"It was intended for me. He gave me one hundred million before, which I didn’t accept, so he went to the ward and had my people transfer it to me!"
"Then it’s easy," Ruth Wilcox said. "You can personally return the money. That’s the best course of action!"
"Won’t they blame me for that? With so much money and not wanting it, not even sharing it with them, won’t they get all kinds of thoughts?"
"That’s their problem. After all, you are... um, the boss now, so you have the right to make all decisions. Of course, being the boss, you must also have the art of speech, and that depends on how you explain it to your people!"
"Heh, I understand."
"Smart people get it with just a hint," Ruth Wilcox laughed and said.
"I’ve always been smart."
"Yes, I won’t meddle too much in your personal and business matters, but Yusuf Zuck... please don’t break the law, okay?" Ruth Wilcox suddenly said.
"Sure," Yusuf Zuck nodded gravely.
Ruth Wilcox didn’t say anything more. The two arrived at a Western restaurant, had a meal, and then Yusuf Zuck dropped Ruth Wilcox off at the hotel. After that, Yusuf Zuck drove his own car quickly toward the hospital.
In the hospital, except for Fleur Carson who had left, everyone else was also in the ward, keeping vigil. Miles O’Brien didn’t go to his shop that day, and the shop was closed for a day. The young nurse didn’t return to the clinic either, but took care of the two injured.
Seeing Yusuf Zuck enter the ward, Floyd Hart and Nickel tried to sit up, but Yusuf Zuck hurried to their side, signaling them not to move.
"I’m sorry for dragging everyone into this mess. You’ve seen for yourselves who’s to blame; Lucy Clayton has paid the price he owed," Yusuf Zuck said.
"Sigh..." Upon hearing Yusuf Zuck’s words, Samuel Ross and the others all heaved a sigh of relief. They had been curious all morning about what had occurred between Yusuf Zuck and Lucy Clayton, and though Yusuf Zuck hadn’t detailed the exact events, it was apparent that Lucy Clayton’s injuries were related to him.
This vengeance was as good as avenged.
"Boss, Lucy Clayton sent a check. Initially, it was for a hundred million, but after my sister-in-law returned it, he sent two hundred million, saying it was meant to be passed on to you. What should we do about this?" Samuel Ross suddenly asked. Two hundred million—that’s not two million or twenty million, but a hundred million!
"What should we do? Just send it back!" Yusuf Zuck shook his head. "There is money that we can take, but there is also money we can’t. If we take this money, people might not say anything outwardly, but they will look down on us inside. I, Yusuf Zuck, don’t like to be looked down upon, so I don’t want this money."
"As for the injuries and such you’ve sustained this time, I will compensate you separately!"
"Yusuf, what are you talking about? Working with you, we expect to get a few injuries. What compensation do we need?" Floyd’s face flushed as he said, "If it weren’t for me and Nickel dragging everyone down, Samuel wouldn’t have gotten hurt. It’s our fault, not anyone else’s!"
"So don’t talk about compensation. Working for you, we get a salary and bonuses. We’re already grateful. Louise mentioned compensation this morning, but we really don’t need it. Giving us that money is like slapping our faces, so let’s not bring it up again. But you’re responsible for the medical expenses, after all, you are the boss, right?" Floyd chuckled.
"Yeah... yeah... yeah... that’s right!" Nickel immediately agreed.
"Haha, I know what I’m doing. Samuel, go get Lucy over here!" Yusuf’s expression suddenly darkened; he wanted to return the money to Lucy in front of his brothers.
"Alright." Samuel immediately walked out, and after a moment’s thought, Grey followed.
Soon after, Lucy was wheeled into the ward, still with an IV drip above her head.
"Mr. Zuck, you’re here!" Lucy appeared nonchalant, as if nothing had happened, but she no longer addressed Yusuf as "younger bro" like she did on the phone, instead opting for "Mr. Zuck."
"Take your check back. Like I said before, I don’t want your money," Yusuf shook his head.
Miles quickly produced the check and handed it to Ariel.
Ariel didn’t dare to take it and looked towards Lucy instead.
Lucy thought for a moment, "Alright, I’ll take the money back, but there’s no problem if I cover the medical expenses, right?"
Yusuf was annoyed, "I don’t want your two billion, why would I need your medical expenses?"
Lucy couldn’t help but smile wryly, "But wasn’t it me who injured your men? Can’t I compensate a little?"
Yusuf pointed to his eye and then to his leg, "We’re even."
"Fine, I don’t want the two billion either. I’ll donate it later, okay?"
"That’s your business, it has nothing to do with us."
"Got it," Lucy nodded in acknowledgment.
"And another thing, stay away from me, from them..." Yusuf pointed at the people around him, pausing slightly when he pointed at the nurse, before continuing in a cold voice, "Stay far away!"
"Okay, I understand." Lucy was shocked. She saw that Yusuf was still harboring murderous intent and finally realized why he was still angry with her.
It wasn’t about the money or anything else; it was because she had seen Paisley naked!
That was the crux for Yusuf — how could he become friends with a man who had seen his woman’s body, let alone recruit him? She could even sense that if she continued to annoy him now, he might indeed take lethal action.
And the reason he hadn’t done so yet was that he and the nurse hadn’t become involved; hence, she was not truly his woman in any meaningful sense.
Being a smart person, Lucy figured it out right away.
After leaving the ward, Lucy took a deep breath and said, "Transfer to another hospital immediately."
In that moment, Lucy made a decision — wherever Paisley was, she needed to vanish immediately. Otherwise, she might lose her other eye, or even her life.
