My Doctor Son-in-law, Clarence-Chapter 165 - Striking Back?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Beep beep... Suddenly, the ground shook. Everyone outside Thirteen Hall looked up to glance in the direction of the sound.

Hundreds of excavators were driving over from both sides of the street.

Hundreds of workers wearing safety helmets and with shovels in their hands trooped up and came to stand in front of Thirteen Hall’s entrance.

Selina emerged from Humanity Hall with a group of people, appearing in front of everyone.

Clarence’s face darkened slightly. “Selina, I knew it was you.”

Selina’s face seemed a little grim. Clarence was only an ant to her.

However, this ant had been strong enough to resist her first wave of attacks.

She had been forced to activate Plan B!

“Hmph, it’s me.

“Clarence, I didn’t guess that you would be able to fight back, but so what?

“Even if people here know that there’s nothing wrong with Thirteen Hall, they’re only a minority of the city, after all.

“I control the media and Twitter. All it takes is one word from me to control the wave of public opinion on Twitter, and people will still think that you sold counterfeit medicine and harmed people.”

Selina smiled mockingly.

She stood on the steps of Humanity Hall, peering down at Clarence condescendingly. “Does it matter whether it’s true?

“Even if you clarify yourself after all is said and done, your reputation will already be rotten!

“I’m giving you one last chance to cure my dad. I can spare you this time.

“Otherwise...”

Clarence did not want to hear Selina’s nonsense. “Nope. Your dad’s dead meat.”

Selina roared with red eyes, “Tear it down! 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

“Tear it. Tear it down!”

Several billionaires behind her rushed up, waving their sleeves.

Boom...

The excavators rumbled on both sides of the street, and construction workers pounced on Thirteen Hall, smashing it ruthlessly.

These guys looked ready to tear down Thirteen Hall!

How dare someone tear down Thirteen Hall, which was in the middle of a bustling metropolis, in broad daylight?

With a grim expression, Julian shouted at one of the men, “John Lorn, what are you doing?”

John looked indifferent. “Mr. Julian, we’re tearing down the clinic, of course.”

Julian said coldly, “Open your eyes wide. This is Thirteen Hall, my sworn brother’s clinic. How dare you tear it down!”

John waved his hand, and a secretary behind him took out a file and spread it out in front of everyone.

“See this? The urban construction plan.

“Thirteen Hall’s land was originally on a lease, so the city is now taking it back to rebuild on it.” John seemed smug.

“What? Urban construction plan?” Julian looked grim.

Jeremy roared, “John, is there something wrong with you? My dad gave Clarence Thirteen Hall. How dare you lay a hand on it?”

John laughed, “Young Master Hayes, your dad did buy Thirteen Hall, but he only has seventy years of ownership.

“The land can be reclaimed at any time after seventy years.

“Of course, we can get it back early, but only by paying a penalty, which Ms. Lawson has already paid.

“So, we’re tearing down Thirteen Hall, no matter what. We won’t stop, not even if Jesus shows up.”

John looked at Clarence triumphantly.

Jeremy’s face was crimson.

John was telling the truth.

John would never have dared to challenge the Hayes family without Selina’s instructions.

It was a different story if you had Selina backing you up.

Jeremy lowered his voice. “Are you sure Selina will protect you forever?

“Aren’t you afraid of what the Hayes family will do once Selina leaves Mediterranean City?”

Selina crossed her arms. “Young Master Hayes, you don’t have to worry about that.

“Who says I’m leaving? Can’t the Lawson family come to Mediterranean City?”

“What?”

“The Lawson family’s coming to Mediterranean City?”

Julian and Jeremy’s expressions immediately changed.

The Lawson family was very rich and powerful. Their assets in Maple Country were far greater than the assets of the Hayes family, the Wright family, and the Larson family combined.

Julian and Jeremy dared to challenge Selina while they were in their own countries, but when it came to their influence abroad...

A hundred Wright families and a hundred Hayes families would be no match for even one Lawson family.

If the Lawson family wanted to infiltrate Mediterranean City, it would be disastrous for the Hayes family, the Wright family, and the Larson family.

It was no wonder that John dared to turn his back on them. It turned out he had sucked up to the Lawson family.

At the same time, Julian realized that Selina was indeed going after Clarence, but he was not her primary goal. She was actually using Clarence to cripple the forces of Mediterranean City!

She was indeed smart, killing two birds with one stone.

Julian’s face grew grimmer as he thought it through.

John had a triumphant look on his face. “Mr. Julian, do you have anything else to say?”

“Hehe. You may be Mr. Julian now, but you won’t be Mr. Julian in a month. No one will put respect on your name anymore.”

Then, John ordered, “Tear it down!”

“I’ll see who has the balls to do that!”

There was a roar, and a middle-aged man stepped out of a bullet-proof Audi, followed by a beautiful secretary.

“Did you ask me before touching Thirteen Hall?”

Another middle-aged man in a suit walked out from another Rolls Royce, looking intimidating.

“Dad!”

“Mr. Hayes, Mr. Larson!” Julian’s face froze.

The men were Jackson from the Hayes family and Chip from the Larson family.

Jackson stepped forward. “Master Howard, I’m sorry I’m late. I came here as soon as I saw the livestream.”

Clarence nodded lightly. “Thank you, Mr. Hayes.”

Chip saluted Clarence with his hand. “Master Howard, you saved my daughter and let her live past twelve.

“Whoever’s going after Thirteen Hall will have to step over my dead body!”

At Dragon Soar Heights’ Villa Two, Clarence had exposed the lies of Ed, a con man from Port Island, and saved Chip’s daughter Luna.

After seeing the livestream about Thirteen Hall online, Chip dropped whatever he was doing and rushed over.

Clarence smiled. “Thank you, Mr. Larson.”

Julian, Jackson, and Chip were all there, practically representing the top three families in Mediterranean City.

Everyone was stunned.

How could a small clinic like Thirteen Hall have such powerhouses backing it up?

Hiding in Humanity Hall, Peony and the others looked stunned too.

Belle could not believe it. “How does the little loser know so many big shots?”

Melody rubbed her eyes. “No way.

“Why?”

They found it unfair.

Peony mocked, “So what if he knows them? Do you know who Ms. Lawson is?

“Her family’s the richest in Maple Country. Even if their main assets are abroad, are any of the damn billionaires in Mediterranean City a worthy opponent to her?

“The Wright family, the Hayes family, and the Larson family are only powerful in Mediterranean City. They’re nothing outside the city.”

Peony looked proud. It was as if she was Selina. “The Lawson family’s influence is spread all over the world. These three families are nothing but child’s play when it comes to the Lawson family.”

“Yes!”

“Clarence is dead meat no matter what.”

Belle and Melody nodded, wanting to see Clarence get destroyed.

‘How did a loser son-in-law get so powerful after the divorce?’

‘Why?’

Besides the jealousy they felt, they were also a bit apprehensive.

Selina glanced at Julian, Jackson, and Chip, looking nonchalant as if she had everything under control. “Interesting. I thought we were only dealing with Thirteen Hall, but the top three families in Mediterranean City have come forward.

“I lured three dragons out with just a lizard.

“I didn’t get to bring down Thirteen Hall with Plan A, so I’m going to have to go with Plan B.”

Selina looked back at Humanity Hall. “It’s up to you now, Mr. Cooke.”

“Hahaha.”

A hearty laugh came from Humanity Hall. Peony and the rest looked curiously at the entrance.

The young man had come to Humanity Hall last night, and Selina had treated him respectfully.

Peony and the rest had been trying all night to figure out who this young man was.

However, they knew he was important!

A casually dressed young man in a T-shirt, sweatpants, and a Rolex diamond watch walked out. “Julian, how dare a vice president of the Mediterranean City Martial Arts Association like you meddle in Ms. Lawson’s business?

“Believe it or not. I’ll tell the president of the Martial Arts Association to fire you.

“Nice job, Jackson. Weren’t you happy hiding in Mediterranean City?

“Why are you meddling in this mess? Hasn’t the Hayes family learned their lesson?

“Chip, didn’t you retire to work on your business?

“What’s the matter? Do you want to continue fighting?

“Does your face still hurt from my dad’s slap?”

Julian, Jackson, and Chip all lowered their heads when they heard the young man’s words.

There was dead silence outside Thirteen Hall.

‘Who is this young man?

‘He’s chastised the heads of the top three families in just one breath.

‘And they dare not utter a word back.’
