Chapter 203 Poor Atticus
The scene immediately descended into chaos, naturally alarming the nearby medical staff and workers.
Atticus arrived with a few on-duty soldiers. After all, this was a military unit and a key security area. The security forces were active-duty soldiers, not private security guards.
When the armed soldiers appeared, the aggressive apprentices all fell silent, and the scene quieted down instantly.
"What happened here?"
Seeing Ethan, Munro and Cherry in the crowd, Atticus immediately felt a headache but could only ask reluctantly.
"There are too many irrelevant people here. Please get these apprentices out! Munro and Cherry stay here!"
Ethan directly issued orders to Atticus, actually wanting to drive out all the apprentices!
Fortunately, he spared Munro and Cherry some face, but even so, it made the two of them look extremely displeased.
Atticus, hearing this, felt troubled and thought, 'Why did I come over here? Wasn't this asking for trouble? '
"Ethan, don't go too far!" Cherry couldn't bear it any longer and shouted angrily.
"Too far? Cherry, you seem to be mistaken. The Miller family is deliberately targeting me here. Don't forget we are in the Fragrant Garden, not the Miller family's backyard! They are seriously affecting the environment here and disturbing others' rest. What's wrong with driving them out?"
Ethan sneered and retorted confidently.
"Fragrant Garden isn't owned by your family either, and you're not part of the military. What right do you have to order people around here?"
Cherry's face turned pale, but she coldly questioned without backing down.
"What, I don't have the right? Atticus, if these noisy people aren't gone in three minutes, I will definitely report this to your superiors! I may not be part of the military, but you're a doctor here, right? Can you command them? Do you want me to call Bennit over?"
Ethan turned and asked Atticus with a half-smile.
"There's no need to bother Bennit over such a small matter." Atticus was almost in tears.
Atticus pondered, 'I had never thought today would be so difficult. Ethan was Luke's doctor. It would be a piece of cake if he wants to revenge me. Even without using Luke's connections, just involving Bennit would be enough!'
Helpless, Atticus could only look pitifully at Munro and Cherry, hoping they would cooperate and not make things difficult for him.
"Ethan, Enough! What do you want?" Munro sighed deeply, feeling that they couldn't gain any advantage in front of Ethan and feeling a deep sense of defeat.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that? What do you want from me?" Ethan raised an eyebrow and asked back.
"I just want to know Percival's condition!" Munro explained with a grim face.
"I've already come out. Isn't the answer obvious? Percival is fine. He should be inside talking to Chloe right now," Ethan explained with a half-smile.
"He's awake? Let me see!" Cherry, hearing this, stepped forward to enter Percival's room but was directly stopped by Ethan raising his hand.
"Wait a minute before they come out. It's better if you don't disturb them! I saved him. I should have this right, don't I?" Ethan reminded unceremoniously.
"Ethan, you're too much! I'm Percival's daughter-in-law. Now that he's awake, isn't it right for me to see him? What right do you have to stop me? Even if you saved him, so what? How much do you want? The Miller family can afford your favor!" Cherry didn't expect Ethan to block her at the door, and she furiously rebuked him.
"The Miller family has money! Do you think I'm someone who can be bought off with money?" Ethan didn't expect her to try to use money to get rid of him, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.
"I really don't believe there's anyone in this world who isn't tempted by money. I know you were a member of the Wilson Family and also the chairman of the Cloud Group. A small amount of money doesn't interest you, right? Don't forget. You're now a discarded member of the Wilson Family! I'll give you 13 million dollars, and you can get as far away from me as possible!" Cherry extended a finger, pointing at Ethan's nose and sneering coldly.
"Are you insulting me?" Ethan's eyes immediately narrowed.
He thought , '13 million dollars was an enormous amount for ordinary people, but what significance does this hold for me? Cherry was trying to use 13 million dollars to make me leave. If that wasn't an insult, what was it? '
"Do I need to insult you? Do you think 13 million dollars isn't enough?" Cherry sneered even more.
"Fine, you can go in if you want to. However, I don't want money. Once you agree to cancel the marriage with the Ashford family and give Chloe her freedom, I'll disappear from your sight immediately!" Ethan was angry but burst into laughter.
"Why should I? Just because you say so? Don't think that just because you saved Percival, we have to listen to you! Move aside right now!" Cherry was genuinely anxious now. Since Percival had already woken up, she had to be by his side immediately—not to take care of him, but because Chloe was inside. Given Percival's love for Chloe and his personality, if Chloe talked too much to him, it could ruin things, which was her biggest concern.
"Are you forcing me to have them kick you all out?" Ethan raised an eyebrow in warning, clearly not intending to let Cherry in.
"Atticus, don't forget we paid a hefty fee to stay here as VIPs. Is this how you treat your customers?" Cherry immediately looked at Atticus and questioned him.
Upon hearing this, Atticus felt a headache coming on. The Miller family had paid seven million dollars to get Percival into Fragrant Garden, and he could personally extract a considerable commission from that. From this perspective, the Miller family could be considered his benefactors.
But going against Ethan would mean losing his job, and he didn't know what to do.
"Forget it. Here is Fragrant Garden. There's no need to argue with him here." Munro pulled Cherry aside and whispered in her ear.
He could see that targeting Ethan in Fragrant Garden was completely self-defeating.
Given the backing of the Walker family and even Luke, this place could be considered Ethan's home turf.
Cherry looked unwilling, but there was nothing she could do. She could only sullenly shake off Munro's hand and angrily walked to the side.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened.
Accompanied by Chloe and Sarah, everyone saw Percival actually walk out of the room!
"Dad! Why did you come out?" Munro couldn't help but widen his eyes. At this moment, Percival Miller looked energetic, with a rosy complexion, and even his posture was sturdier than before he fell ill. The stark contrast left him in shock!
Cherry's eyes were also filled with astonishment as she looked at Percival!
