The CEO's Wife Is a Medical Master

Chapter 382: Chapter 382: He is Third Brother

Aaron Cheney had intended to come over as soon as he woke up, but he was still dizzy, so he rested for a bit and ended up arriving late.

His words once again stunned everyone there. He was the one who had always called Vera Xavier ’Third Sister-in-law’.

Nathaniel Nathan glared at him. "Is this how you take care of Vera?"

Aaron Cheney looked apologetic. "I wasn’t capable enough! Punish me, Nathaniel!"

Vera Xavier, however, said, "This has nothing to do with Aaron. I’m the one who brought him here. Let’s talk about this when we get home."

To divert Nathaniel Nathan’s attention, Aaron Cheney immediately pointed at Susan Caldwell and her group. "Nathaniel, they’ve been bullying Vera! You have to stand up for her!"

Susan Caldwell’s previously pleasant smile froze on her face. Her hand, still outstretched in mid-air, now looked like a complete joke.

Nathaniel Nathan finally turned to look at Susan Caldwell. This time, Susan finally saw the extreme, bone-chilling coldness in his eyes.

Susan Caldwell shivered involuntarily. Alistair Forrest, who had been enjoying the show with great interest, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Susan Caldwell couldn’t be bothered with him at that moment. She was a formidable person in her own right, and even now, she managed to force a smile. "What happened just now was just a misunderstanding. It’s getting late, so I’ll be leaving."

After she spoke, she prepared to leave immediately. Vera Xavier glanced at Susan Caldwell, then at Nathaniel Nathan, feeling it was a bit inappropriate for a man like him to handle this sort of thing.

’Besides, now that he’s here, I have all the confidence in the world! He did say that if I ever caused trouble, he would clean up my mess.’

So, Vera Xavier strode forward, blocked Susan Caldwell’s path, and raised her hand to slap her across the face.

Susan Caldwell hadn’t expected Vera Xavier to resort to violence and was instantly furious. ’I’ve lived my whole life without even my parents laying a hand on me. What right does Vera Xavier have to hit me!’

Because of the injury to his hand, Leo Wright was a few steps behind Susan Caldwell. The moment he saw her get hit, he rushed forward to help. But before he could even get near Vera Xavier, Nathaniel Nathan intercepted him. The two quickly traded blows, but with his pre-existing injury, how could he possibly be a match for Nathaniel Nathan?

Nathaniel Nathan kicked him in the chest, sending him straight to the ground.

Alistair Forrest said with a laugh, "My, my, it’s quite unseemly for grown men to interfere in a girls’ squabble. Why don’t we have a little chat about life?" freewёbnoνel.com

As soon as he finished speaking, his two bodyguards immediately blocked Leo Wright’s path.

Leo Wright was already no match for Nathaniel Nathan. Now, with two bodyguards added to the mix, he didn’t stand a chance. All he could do was watch Susan Caldwell with immense worry.

Seeing how things were stacked against her, Susan Caldwell knew she wouldn’t be gaining any advantage today. She took a deep breath and said, "Today was just a misunderstanding. Let’s let bygones be bygones. One should be more magnanimous. Being so petty is bad for your health."

Vera Xavier laughed. "Magnanimous? Susan Caldwell, have you no shame with your double standards?"

Alistair Forrest immediately applauded. "Well said! This Susan Caldwell woman has no shame to begin with!"

Alistair Forrest had seen through Susan Caldwell’s intentions today and felt nothing but extreme disdain for her.

Even if Susan Caldwell and Vera Xavier had some past grudges, in his eyes, they were nothing more than girlish squabbles, not a big deal.

But when Vera Xavier was swapping places with Aaron Cheney, Susan Caldwell’s actions were clearly meant to get Vera killed!
