Chapter 380 Swallowing It
Upon hearing Ross' name, Quinn hesitated for a moment. "What do you want him for?" he asked.
Ross was the young man who helped Quinn interrogate Sunny after Aaron was set up by Suzy and stayed in the same room with Sunny.
"I want to help him." Aaron's dark eyes deepened.
Quinn giggled. "No merit, no reward, Aaron. You're a businessman; you're not that kind-hearted. Come on, tell me, what do you want him to do?" she questioned. She knew him all too well.
Aaron didn't hide his motives either, and said, "You've heard of the Rochester Society, right? I want him to swallow it!" His tone was dark and vicious.
Quinn remained silent for a moment, her oice becoming more serious. "Aaron, that's a significant gang. Why suddenly consider having Ross swallow it?"
Aaron's dark eyes turned cold and indifferent. "Because that gang has been supporting unethical behavior. It's time for a change in leadership."
That's what he and Fabio had discussed, cutting off the Turner family's young heir, Ken.
Without the Rochester Society to rely on, Ken was like a toothless tiger. Let's see how formidable he can be now!
"All right, I'll have him contact you. You can discuss the details." Quinn didn't ask any further questions.
"All right," Aaron replied and hung up the phone.
Inside the mansion, Nora finished getting ready and glanced at the time, realizing it was already past noon.
Aaron had hired a maid to help in the kitchen and prepared lunch for her.
As she was eating, Nora received a call from Mrs. Woodhouse, asking when she would go to the hospital to treat Ryan.
Nora calculated the time. "I'll be there in another hour," she replied.
"Great, I'll wait for you," Mrs. Woodhouse, responded.
After finishing her meal, Nora quickly tidied up and had Frederick drive her to the hospital.
At this moment, Ryan had finished his IV drip and was sitting on the bed, video-chatting with someone on his tablet.
When Nora arrived, he eagerly exclaimed, "Aunt Nora, I'm video chatting with Samantha!"
Upon hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Nora's eyes. Is it almost nap time for the children in kindergarten? And yet, her daughter was able to video chat with Ryan?
Nora walked over and leaned in to look at the screen, indeed seeing her own daughter's delicate and adorable face.
"Mommy!" Samantha smiled mischievously at Nora.
Nora asked, "Samantha, whose phone are you using to video chat with Ryan?"
"It's Ann's phone. I'm going to give it back to her and then take a nap after this," Samantha blinked her large grape-like eyes, her voice sweet and gentle.
Ann was the homeroom teacher taking care of the three children. She certainly spoils the little ones.
Nora silently criticized in her heart.
Samantha and Ryan exchanged a few more words and then ended the call. Ryan looked at the screen of his tablet, seeming a bit reluctant to let go.
Mrs. Woodhouse smiled and explained to Nora, "Yesterday, after school, Ryan video-chatted with a few children. They agreed to chat again at noon today. Samantha is so cute and asks the teacher sweetly, so the teacher lets her borrow the phone."
Nora curved her lips into a smile. She had always known her daughter was a social butterfly.
Last night, she was busy helping Edric secure a contract and didn't have much time to talk to the children.
Samantha was considerate and knew that Ryan would be bored in the hospital, so she took the time to accompany him and chat.
"All right, shall we begin then?" Nora said as she took out the treatment kit and began treating Ryan.
Because of the previous treatment, Ryan wasn't afraid of the treatment tools anymore. He remained quiet throughout the whole process and didn't cause any trouble.
After Nora helped Ryan with the needle, Mrs. Woodhouse started chatting with her about daily life.
"My husband told me that the Turner family's child was expelled from the primary school in Lindwood City, and all other schools here refused to accept him."
Upon hearing this, Nora raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, "Really? Why?"
"Because he bullied many children in school."
Mrs. Woodhouse continued, "Before, nobody dared to accuse him because they were afraid of the Turner family's influence. But this time, your older brother stepped in, and those children who were once bullied by him, as well as their parents, all accused him. The school couldn't handle the pressure and expelled him."
'So that's what happened. My older brother was standing up for the three children.' Nora pondered.
Nora smiled, and replied, "If children like him aren't properly educated, they will certainly get into trouble in the future."
Mrs. Woodhouse nodded and spoke, "Yes, but with a father like that, it's probably difficult to keep the child from going astray."
Nora agreed, and said, "That's true. So, he has no school to attend now?"
Mrs. Woodhouse replied, "It's surely not an option in Lindwood City. So he either has to transfer to another school or go abroad. I guess the Turner family will send him abroad."
The Turner family thinks that sending the child abroad is the best outcome for him.
Nora said, "Overseas is not as peaceful as it is domestically. That child should prepare for the consequences."
They say that evil begets evil and that children should experience what it's like to be bullied. She had no sympathy for that child at all.
Aiden had such a wicked mind at such a young age.
After chatting for a while, when the time was up, Nora removed the needle from Ryan. She stayed at the hospital for a little longer and then received a message from Evella about the location where she wanted to have coffee.
"All right, Ryan, rest well. I will come to see you again tomorrow." Nora patted Ryan's head and prepared to go to the appointment.
"Bye, Aunt Nora," Ryan grinned as he bid her farewell.
"You're leaving? Won't you stay a bit longer?" Mrs. Woodhouse tried to keep her for a moment.
"I made an appointment with a friend to have coffee this afternoon, so I will leave first," Nora said.
"All right, take your time on the way," Mrs. Woodhouse reminded.
"Okay." Nora replied, then left the hospital and Frederick drove her to a coffee shop called Fung.
Despite the coffee shop not being in the city center, it was a popular place for people to drink coffee and chat or for businessmen to discuss business.
The coffee shop had four floors, elegant decor inside, and gentle background music floating in the air. People in it seemed to find a place for their restless hearts.
Nora followed the waiter to the designated private room.
Upon entering, she saw Evella and Flynt sitting face to face.
At that moment, Flynt was skillfully brewing coffee while Evella looked at him with admiration in her eyes.
Evella greeted, "Nora, you're here." Upon hearing Nora enter, Evella quickly got up to greet her.
Nora smiled and walked towards her.
"Hello, Nora." Flynt also got up to greet her, calling Nora by her name.
Nora greeted, "Hello."
Evella pulled Nora to sit beside her.
Flynt also took a seat and continued brewing coffee.
He was dressed more casually today. He wore a light-colored sweater paired with jeans, giving off a more sunny and handsome vibe. His coffee brewing skills were very proficient, indicating that he brewed coffee often.
Smelling the coffee, Nora asked, "What kind of coffee is this brewed with?"
"Good coffee," Flynt replied.
After brewing the coffee, he poured her a cup and offered, "Please, have some."
