Alexander sneered, his lips curling slightly as he flicked his sleeve. “Do you really think the Turnerfamily can’t survive without the Spears family?”

“What a joke!”

“If you don’t want to cooperate, so is it. The Turner family doesn’t lack potential partners like the Spearsfamily.”

It wasn’t worth tarnishing Lara’s reputation throughout New York for the sake of one collaboration.

His granddaughter’s future was more important than anything else.

“Do you have any idea how many people in New York are eager to collaborate with the Turner family?!”

Alexander had a personality that wouldn’t yield to pressure. When faced with threats, it only fueled hisanger.

Listening to Alexander’s reckless attitude, Tory sneered.

“Fine then.”

“Since you put it that way, the Spears family will go along with you.”

He extended his hand and began counting on his fingers, his voice loud and clear.

“If we’re not cooperating, does that mean the Turner family should return all the equipment they owethe Spears. family?”

Just as Tory said this, something seemed to strike him, a thought that felt absurd.

“However, before settling the equipment issue, may I be so bold as to ask if the Turner family has ahabit of silently taking away other people’s belongings?”

There was a touch of sarcasm in his voice.

“On the day Natalie had a high fever, we hurriedly carried her into the ambulance.”

“But when we searched the Spears family’s emergency vehicle, we couldn’t replace any medicalequipment, which drove me crazy.”

“In such an urgent situation, everything would have been ruined without the equipment. Finally, I asked,and it turned out the Turner family had sneakily taken it away!”

“If it weren’t for Julian’s skillful driving, rushing to the hospital in the ambulance, Natalie would haveprobably suffered at the hands of the Turner family again!”

After uttering these words, Tory felt a flicker of absurdity in his own thoughts.

It seems that Julian isn’t entirely useless after all, especially in critical moments… He surprisinglyproved to be somewhat helpful to Natalie.

Marriage between Natalie and him doesn’t appear to be so hard to accept, does it?

No, no, no…

That thought only lasted for a second before Tory quickly shook his head, dismissing this absurd idea.

Julian was not worthy of Natalie.

Just because Julian helped a little in a crucial moment doesn’t mean his mind should be clouded by it.

Stay rational!

“You’re talking nonsense! The Turner family has always conducted themselves properly and neverengaged in petty activities,” Alexander’s voice brought Tory back.

His tone was serious, conveying a sense of anger at being falsely accused.

Tory laughed again, “Whether it’s nonsense or not, it’s not for you to decide. Just go back and check ifyour Turner family has multiple sets of equipment, and you’ll see if I’m talking nonsense.”

“Do you really have no idea what schemes those younger generations of the Turner family are up to,

Alexander?”

Without waiting for Alexander’s response, Tory continued on his own, “Well, no wonder they can’tmanage their granddaughter properly. How can they possibly manage the younger generations of theTurner family?”

“Alexander must be busy all the time, otherwise, he wouldn’t fail to discipline the Turner family.’

Tory shook his head with a tinge of regret in his tone.

“However, on the other hand, even if you’re busy, you should make time discipline the youngergenerations. Otherwise, when the news spreads, the mighty the Turner family would have to rely ontaking things from others just. to get by. The whole city would mock the Turner family.”

“Do you agree with what I’m saying?”

Tory smiled and threw the conversation back to Alexander.

This speech left Alexander livid, unable to utter a word for a long time.

His hand clenched the plate, as if he wanted to throw it directly at Tory’s face.

Even Natalie had never seen her uncle so eloquent before.

She didn’t know how to respond to this degree of provocation. It was enough to make someone losetheir temper.

As expected, old-timers are still sharp. She used to think her uncle couldn’t be so sly and cunning.

Before Alexander could recover from his anger, Tory continued speaking.

“Let’s talk about the medical equipment from the Spears family.”

“Let me think about how much… the ultra-precision light-wave detector, proton accelerator, spiral CT…”

Tory spoke while holding his forehead, as if he had a headache from thinking.

“Oh, there are too many to count. I’ll have the steward prepare a list to be sent to the Turner family.They can return the items according to the data on the list.”

The man’s tone was light and carefree as he casually instructed the steward to write the inventory list.

But when these casually spoken words reach the Turner family, it’s a different story altogether…

Returning all the medical equipment? That would take the Turner family quite some time to manage.

The Turner family did borrow a considerable amount of medical equipment from the Spears family…After all, Spears family is second to none when it comes to equipment reserves, and no one dares to

claim the top spot.

the

In the whole city, only the Spears family possesses these valuable and, moreover, some of theequipment has been modified by them, far surpassing the quality of the medical equipment available onthe market.

The Turner family heavily relies on these instruments for medical purposes…

Due to this, the face of Alexander turned even more unpleasant upon hearing those words.

The furrow between his brows deepened, and his face grew extremely gloomy, as if he were about tohave a heart

attack.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Adam sat upright, wearing a solemn expression, not uttering a word,evidently silently approving of Tory’s actions.

He looked at Alexander without expression, but when his gaze shifted to Natalie, he suddenly softened,as if changing faces at the speed of light.

The swift change in demeanor was astonishing to witness.

“So, Alexander, how about returning all of the Spears family’s medical equipment?” He asked.

Although Alexander’s heart bled, he still endured the discomfort and coldly snorted, “Fine, return themthen!”

After all, he had his reputation to uphold and couldn’t compromise so easily.

The equipment may be lost, but they can be bought again.

However, once his granddaughter’s reputation is tarnished, it can never be restored… Alexanderconsoled himself silently.

Upon hearing this, Tory appeared visibly surprised.

He never expected the Turner family would actually be willing to return the equipment. It was truly apainful sacrifice.

But the Spears only lasted a moment, as he quickly adjusted his state of mind.

He held the Turner family’s weak spot in his hands, and he wasn’t afraid of their non-compliance.

This matter was originally Lara’s fault, and it was only right for her to apologize. He wanted to see howlong Alexander would dote on his granddaughter.

“Good! Alexander, you truly are a straightforward person.”

Tory chuckled. “Since the equipment is returned, let’s discuss other matters, shall we?”

“As far as I know, the Spears family sent quite a few doctors to the Turner family, didn’t they?”

He continued. “I wonder where these doctors are now? They should also be returned to the Spearsfamily, right?”

As soon as these words were uttered, Alexander’s face immediately became uncontrollable.

Returning the equipment was one thing, but now they had to return the doctors the Spears family hadsent…

That would be really difficult to manage.

Most of these doctors were already working for the Turner family, and the Turner family had invested aconsiderable amount of time and resources in them.

Unlike the medical equipment, these doctors were not something that could be returned so easily, as ifthey were simply borrowed and returned at will.

“Why aren’t you speaking, Alexander? Weren’t you so straightforward just now?”

Tory poked at Alexander’s sore spot.

The expression on Alexander’s face at this moment can no longer be described as pale, it’s evensomewhat contorted.

His resolute heart… under Tory’s coercion, is gradually wavering.

In comparison to the enormous cost, it seems that Lara’s matter was indeed mishandled.

Otherwise, if he was to call Lara right now and apologize to Natalie face-to-face, this matter could beconsidered resolved.
