Chapter 952

Devin was so furious that he thought he was gonna go mad. Jerome was involved in organ trafficking and had Maddock's liver dug out on the operating table in the guise of medical treatment.

Maddock was a young and healthy boy, yet he had his youth robbed at just the age of ten by the main culprit who had just advised Devin not to break the hospital rules. It was all too ironic.

Devin was trembling with rage. "To hell with your rules! I'm going to kill you!"

Jerome shook his head and said, "I know that you're angry, and I can understand why, but I need you to calm down so that we can settle things. You won't be able to think rationally or make the best decision if you don't calm down.

However, Devin only walked toward Jerome. "To hell with calming down!"

Seeing Devin making his way toward him, Jerome backed away in fright as he tried to persuade the former, "You've gotta calm down, or you might just end up making the worst possible choice.

"Times have been tough these past few years, so I'm assuming that... you're probably not even making any more than 100 thousand dollars a year. I'll compensate you with a million dollars.

"Stand there-don't come over. I'll raise it to two million dollars if a million isn't enough. Think about it. This might be the only chance you'd ever become rich."

Devin felt that he was truly about to go insane. "I'm going to kill you. I have to kill you today!"

When Pierre realized that Devin was really going for it, he sped over to him and grabbed him from behind. "Don't kill him. You have to hold it in. The police will be here soon enough, so he'll be as good as gone. They definitely won't let him off."

Devin's chest heaved up and down as he took in a few deep and labored breaths, eventually calming himself down. "Alright, I got it. The police won't let him off."

Now that Devin had calmed down, Jerome halted in his tracks and said after a bout of hesitation, "I'll give you five million dollars! Let bygones be bygones, alright?" Unfortunately, the rage that Devin had just eased and suppressed flared up again. Immediately, Pierre held onto him again, hugging him tightly from behind. "Don't listen to him. The police are arriving."

Devin then roared aloud, "Does he really think he's all that shit just because he has money? I won't ever concede no matter how much he tries to give me. That's my son's life we're talking about!"

Once again, Jerome offered and said, "Ten million dollars! I'll give you ten million dollars, okay? You can't even imagine the amount of cash you'd have in front of you if you withdrew ten million dollars now!

"Besides, I won't give you anything else if you don't want the money. I've got power and connections in Lambda City, so I won't get in trouble no matter what.

"You won't even receive an apology from me, so let me ask you again. Do you want to close the case with a ten million dollar compensation?"

"I won't agree to it even if he does!" All of a sudden, a cold voice echoed throughout the operating room.

Matthew turned around slowly. He had his back toward Jerome the whole time, so Jerome didn't recognize him.

The main issue, though, was that Matthew once had business with Jerome. The latter had helped him with the medical license he had gotten for Tony, so Matthew didn't want Devin to misunderstand their relationship just because they knew each other.

Still, Matthew couldn't sit still when he heard such arrogant words spilling from Jerome's mouth.

Jerome had already gotten frustrated by Devin's refusal, so when someone else tried to intervene, he snorted and said, "Who the fuck are you..."

Halfway through his words, Devin paused, taking in the sight of Matthew's appearance as he stuttered, "Mister... Mr. Grant? What are you doing here?"

Matthew didn't respond to his queries. Instead, he stated coldly, "You just said he wouldn't even receive an apology from you, did you?"

Jerome's expression faltered as he thought of Matthew's identity. In the next second, he knelt to the ground, right in front of Devin, and apologized nonstop.

"I'm so sorry. Let me... Let me apologize to you. I'll compensate you!"

Having seen the sudden change in Jerome's attitude, Devin took a glance at Matthew in shock. It was then that he realized that Matthew's identity wasn't as simple as he thought.

Soon after, he told Matthew, "I don't need his apology. I want justice for my son!"

The killing intent flashed within

Matthew's eyes as he said, "I think

it's bettento release all of your

hatred and anger by killing him. Why don't I do it for you?"

Upon hearing that, Jerome screamed aloud, "Please, Mr. Grant. Just turn a blind

eye to this. I helped you two days ago too!"

Matthew then stated icily, "Approving the medical license is your job, no? It's what you need to do for a career, and it's what you owe Tony.

"Besides, he treated you after you helped him get his medical license, so you're both even now. This matter is completely unrelated to me killing you now."
