Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 785

Watching Yolanda's expression, Jude hoped his suggestion would satisfy both parties. "The treatment fees are all negotiable."

"Mr. Kaufman, you'd better stay out of this." Yolanda's tone softened slightly. "I've stated my conditions. If the Cavanaughs can't meet them, they should seek help elsewhere."

Having hit a wall, Jude found himself at a loss for words. He was caught between speaking up and staying silent.

"Yolanda, don't mistake my patience for weakness! I'm warning you—you'll have to treat me today!" Lennox had never been defied like this before, and what little patience he had was exhausted. "You can't afford the consequences of turning me down!"

Yolanda ignored Lennox and turned toward the door. Before leaving, she still addressed Jude politely, "Mr. Kaufman, I'll be going now. I'll contact you when that batch of spirits is ready."

Jude nodded worriedly as he watched her leave.

Completely ignored by Yolanda, Lennox shouted angrily at her retreating figure. "Yolanda, once you walk out that door, there's no turning back! You think you can look down on me just because you know some medicine? Dream on!

"Mr. Kaufman, how can you tolerate such arrogance right under your nose? She's too brazen and did not even show you respect. You're practically nurturing someone who will turn on you in the future!"

Lennox was furious. Everywhere he went, people fawned over him. Even in Creybia, no family dared slight him, yet he faced such cold treatment here in a small town like Riverdale.

"She keeps turning me down and sets these outrageous conditions. She's clearly just trying to extort more money! Shut down her clinic now, and let's see how arrogant she remains!"

Once her clinic was closed, would she still be able to maintain her stance? Eventually, she would have to come crawling back to Lennox!

"It's not just a misunderstanding!" Since Jude had been away in Creybia on business, he wasn't aware of many things. But Joel worked for Riverdale's government sector, so he knew everything that had happened recently.

"When Harold brought Yolanda to treat Mr. Cavanaugh earlier, they were thrown out of the Cavanaugh residence as Mr. Cavanaugh thought they were frauds.

"But when he realized only Yolanda could save him, he sent Daphne with over a dozen security guards to request her assistance at Willow Creek Clinic. When Yolanda refused, she ordered the guards to wreck the clinic.

"When that didn't work, Ms. Cavanaugh threatened Harold with a contract at Henderson Group, saying she'd bankrupt the Henderson company otherwise."

Jude's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened, but what Joel said next shocked him even more.
