Chapter 223 Slander
Mary was anxious and said, "I don't know, the hospital called and said there was a car accident."
A car accident?
William immediately stepped on the gas, speeding to the hospital.
When they arrived, Mary anxiously jumped out of the car and saw many ambulances parked at the entrance, with patients being brought in continuously.
The whole hospital was in chaos!
Dozens of nurses and more than a dozen attending doctors were shouting frantically.
"Here, here, severe injury! Stop the bleeding!"
"Here, we need a breathing bag!"
"Hurry, get personnel from other hospitals, contact the director!"
The scene was extremely chaotic, with many bloody people being carried out of the constantly arriving ambulances!
It was very gory, with severed arms and legs!
Moreover, there was constant wailing!
Mary was terrified, trembling all over. She covered her mouth and constantly searched among the bodies covered with blood-stained white cloths.
"Mom, Dad? Where are you?" she cried out anxiously, very sad.
William supported her and uncovered several bodies covered with white cloth. It was tragic, too horrible to look at!
The air was filled with the pungent taste of blood!
"Mary, don't worry. It's going to be okay. Everything will be fine."
He comforted her. It was clear that a major traffic accident had occurred.
"What should we do, William? We can't find Mom and Dad. Could something have happened to them?"
She cried sadly, her whole body trembling. The scene at the hospital entrance was too much for her to handle!
He was also very anxious. After all, it was his mother-in-law and father-in-law. If something really happened to them, he wouldn't know what to do.
"Excuse me, are there any patients named Margaret and Tyler?" Mary anxiously grabbed a blood-covered doctor running by and asked urgently.
"Are you family members of Margaret and Tyler?" The doctor looked at Mary and William suspiciously, clearly aware of the situation.
"Yes, yes, where are they? Are they okay?" Mary didn't dare to think further, her eyes tearful.
"They're over there." The doctor casually pointed to the corridor in the hospital's rest area, already filled with many patients.
At a glance, Mary saw Margaret and Tyler sitting in the corner, their heads wrapped with blood-stained bandages.
"Mom, Dad!" Mary anxiously ran over and hugged them, crying loudly.
Fortunately, they were okay!
"Mary, you almost lost me again." Margaret also cried a few times, scared as well.
It was a major accident on the road just now with a high casualty. Fortunately, their driver was skilled, and they only had a rollover, getting some scrapes and bumps.
It was nothing too dangerous.
"Mom, are you okay?" William, seeing that they were okay, also sighed in relief and ran over anxiously to ask.
"Are you blind? You call this okay?" Suddenly, Margaret got angry, pointing at her forehead and scolding, "What? Are you happy with us injured? Have you been praying to God for us to die in a car accident so you can take all of ourproperty?"
Margaret was furious and scared, especially after seeing William's slow reaction, which angered her further.
William was stunned, realizing that she was venting her fear on him.
"Mom, I didn't mean that," He sighed helplessly.
"What are you sighing for? What, did I hit the nail on the head, and you're unhappy? Ha, William, I've always known you're a bad person. You've been lazing in the Smiths for three years; are you scheming to take our family property, or are you eyeing Mary's company?"
She was completely slandering William.
"Mom, how can you say that? We rushed over as soon as we heard the news, he was very anxious too." Mary couldn't stand it anymore. Margaret was being unreasonable, blaming everything on William.
Besides, je didn't care about their family's money at all.
Even Villa No.1 was bought by him.
"Margaret, stop scolding him. He didn't do anything wrong. Why are you throwing your temper at him?"
Tyler, holding his forehead, glared at Margaret in frustration.
After all, tonight, William had earned the respect from their relatives.
Why did Margaret turn hostile so quickly?
His career depended entirely on William and Samuel's connections.
"What, you two are ganging up on me for William now? Do you still respect me?"
Margaret was furious. Seeing Tyler and Mary on the same side angered her more.
In this house, she was the boss.
Who did William think he was?
"Mom, can you stop being unreasonable?" Mary was very frustrated. What was wrong with Margaret? Where did this big temper come from?
"Unreasonable? Look at him, standing there without even calling a doctor to check on me and your dad. Even if it's just external injuries, what if there are internal injuries? He just stands there doing nothing. Doesn't he just want our quick deaths?" Margaret said angrily, her eyebrows furrowed with a cold look. Her eyes were filled with anger toward William.
"Fine, Dad, Mom, I'll go get a doctor." William had no choice but to go find a doctor.
Dealing with such a troublesome mother-in-law, he didn't know how he had survived the past three years.
Seeing him leave, Margaret pursed her lips and muttered, "See, he stood there like an idiot for so long without calling a doctor to check on us."
In her eyes, William's existence was a mistake.
Mary was very helpless, holding Margaret's hands and softly saying, "Mom, can you stop treating William like this? What's wrong with him? We've been married for three years and have Sarah. Isn't he your son-in-law? Isn't Sarah your granddaughter?"
Margaret was speechless and mumbled, "I don't want to, but I get angry just looking at him. If you want me to treat him well, he needs to have a few million in savings or some family influence. With him just lazing around, I can't acknowledge him as my son-in-law."
She pouted.
If William were here and heard this, he'd probably laugh coldly. 'Sorry, but just the Jones Group alone manages assets worth billions.'
Moreover, Jones family's influence was not just a little.
They were powerful.
Tyler couldn't help but say, "Margaret, just shut up. Did you forget how Samuel treated William at dinner?"
This Margaret, how could she be so forgetful?
To know Samuel and receive his respect, how could William be ordinary?
Did she forget everything he told her yesterday?
Speaking of this, Margaret's eyes widened!
She had been so scared by the car accident that she forgot it.
Samuel, a high-level figure in real estate, was actually polite to William.
There must be something she didn't know.
"Mary, do you know what's going on?" she asked.
Mary shook her head and said, "No, I don't know either. Let's ask him when he returns."
"Okay." Margaret nodded.
She had to find out how this guy knew Samuel.
After a while, William brought a doctor. The doctor impatiently said, "I checked just minutes ago? There's no big problem. Just rest for a few days. If you're worried, stay in the hospital for observation."
He had already checked Margaret and Tyler earlier and found no major issues; just some scrapes.
"Doctor, you can't be so perfunctory. I feel dizzy now, so check me again. If something happens to me, your hospital won't get away with it."
Margaret insisted, holding her forehead as if she had a severe headache.
The doctor was dumbfounded. What was wrong with this woman? Wasn't she wasting medical resources? "Fine, go register yourselves."
With that, he turned and left. He was busy and would be up all night.
"What are you standing there for? Go register!" Margaret glared at William and scolded. She was a patient now.
William reluctantly went to register, and after a series of tests, there was nothing wrong.
Only then did she feel relieved.
Back at the villa, the master bedroom was still occupied. William's face flushed with anger as he asked, "Didn't I tell you to move out?"
Seeing his expression, Margaret felt guilty. Although she had scolded him happily at the hospital, she was a bit scared now at the villa.
After all, her name wasn't on the villa's deed.
This made her very frustrated, and she secretly decided to drive William out!
"Oh, my head. Tyler, help me upstairs to rest. Oh, I'm dizzy, I can't take it." She faked some pain, pulling Tyler upstairs.
William wanted to say something, but Mary pulled him and said, "Forget it. Let them stay for a few days. There are plenty of rooms here; I don't mind."
He didn't say anything more, just feeling very helpless.
Suddenly, Mary asked, "By the way, William, how do you know Samuel? He seemed very respectful to you. Are you hiding something from me?"
