Chapter 279 A Narrow Encounter with an Old Foe
9 PM, outside Harmony Care Hospital.
Reese got out of Charles's Mercedes while laughing at his phone, "James is done for."
Addison, who followed, perked up instantly, "Reese, what happened? Did he do something bad?"
Christopher and Abigail also curiously gathered around.
"Not only did he offend Mr. Morris, but he also offended Simon. Now they're teaming up to blacklist him." Reese slapped his thigh in delight, "Now the whole of Rosewood City is saying that anyone who dares to support James and JZL Medical Clinic is in for a world of trouble. Olivia, Jacob and so on, they don't stand a chance against Mr. Morris and Mr. Howard. Jamed won't open The JZL Medical Clinic, and he is probably going to starve."
Hearing this, Charles looked up thoughtfully, then continued walking.
"Really?" After understanding the situation, Addison was overjoyed, "Great, I've been dreaming of that guy getting his comeuppance. Finally, karma has caught up with him."
For the past two months, she had been mocked by James countless times and even lost her clinic. She had been holding a grudge, unable to get justice.
Now with Keith and the others suppressing him, James's fate was bound to be miserable, and she felt elated.
"I hope Mr. Morris crushes him." Addison's eyes lit up, "That way, I won't have to worry about him bothering Mary and my Peach Blossom Villa No. 1."
After staying at Peach Blossom Villa No. 1 for a few days, Addison had completely fallen in love with it and considered it her own house, not wanting James to take advantage.
Christopher spoke up, "How dare he wants to live in Peach Blossom Villa No. 1?"
"He won't be arrogant for much longer." Reese exhaled in satisfaction, "A doctor, what does he have to fight against Mr. Morris and The Howard family? The funniest thing is, after JZL Medical Clinic was blacklisted by Mr. Morris and Mr. Howard, James announced that he would blacklist them in return. He said he would blacklist Mr. Howard and Mr. Morris, refusing to treat them or their relatives. Isn't that ridiculous? "
She hated James to the core for ruining her plans. If it weren't for James causing trouble at the club, she would have already gotten four million dollars.
With four million dollars, she wouldn't have to envy Addison for owning Peach Blossom Villa No. 1.
Hearing Reese's words, Addison also burst into laughter, thinking James was really full of himself, "He only learned a bit of medicine from the medical lectures, which is far inferior to Mark, Bradley, and Randy. It's ok that Mr. Morris and the others not seeking treatment from James. I really don't know where James gets his confidence."
Reese gloated,"I have to cancel my dinner plans for the day after tomorrow. I want to go to JZL Medical Clinic to see James make a fool of himself."
Addison took out her phone and walked into the hospital lobby, "I need to call others to watch the show."
Charles shook his head and followed her.
At that moment, a string of car lights flashed at the entrance, and then a car stopped. Juan walked in, swinging his car keys, "Mom, I'm getting more and more fond of that Audi. I can't go a day without driving it."
Reese glanced at Charles and the others entering the elevator, then snorted at Juan, "Alright, since you've been obedient these past few days, I'll decide to give you the Audi. But you have to take me to JZL Medical Clinic the day after tomorrow. I want to see James make a fool of himself!"
After all, Mary was making money now, so asking for a car wasn't too much.
Juan was overjoyed, "Thanks, Mom."
The six of them soon appeared in Mary's hospital room. Addison pushed the door open and saw James giving Mary acupuncture.
She immediately rushed over, furious, "James, what are you doing? Who let you in here? Get out."
Christopher and the others were also extremely angry. James visiting Mary at this time was just causing trouble.
James ignored her, skillfully inserting the silver needles to help Mary's condition improve faster.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Mary's face turned cold, "James is treating me. Why are you so angry? I called him here. He's much better than other doctors."
In fact, James had come on his own tonight, partly to check on Mary's injuries and thank her for saving him, and partly to say a final goodbye.
After all, with the clinic opening the day after tomorrow, James didn't know if it would hold on.
"Shut up! What do you know?" Addison was furious, "This guy is finished. Getting close to you is just to harm us."
"Exactly, he's been blacklisted, the clinic is done, and so is he." Christopher chimed in, "He's being overly nice right now, there's definitely something fishy going on. He's either out to get the Smith family or he wants to reconcile."
"Reconcile? Let me tell you, don't even think about Peach Blossom Villa No. 1." Addison raised her chin, "I won't let you move in."
She was convinced that James was sticking to Mary for the one-point-four-billion-dollar Peach Blossom Villa No. 1. After all, no matter how good James's medical skills were, he couldn't earn that much money.
James couldn't be bothered to argue with them and carefully removed the silver needles.
Mary looked confused, "What's wrong?"
Addison was exasperated, "James, you're such a coward. If you're so great, why don't you tell Mary the truth?"
"Don't you dare tell her that you've been blacklisted by Simon and Mr. Morris's circle?" Addison was worried that James would implicate The Smith Family.
Mary instinctively grabbed James's hand and asked, "James, what's going on?"
James held Mary's hand and said, "It's a small matter. They want to cut off my business and livelihood, announcing a blacklist against JZL Medical Clinic."
"But it doesn't matter. They can't blacklist me." James said lightly,"In fact, I've blacklisted them in return. I won't treat them in the future."
Mary felt a pang of guilt, convinced that her blind date had caused all this trouble.
"Are they Blacklisted by you? You talk as if you're so powerful." Reese sneered, "I've seen ignorant people, but never someone as ignorant as you. Do you really not know Mr. Morris's capabilities?"
Christopher shouted, "James, stop pretending. If you did something wrong, take responsibility yourself. Don't drag us down."
Juan was even more aggressive, "Don't think about Mary, or I'll kill you."
"We'll see who blacklists whom the day after tomorrow." James patted Mary's hand, "Have a restl. I'm heading back."
Mary whispered, "James."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." James's face showed confidence. He then took out an invitation and handed it to Charles, "This is an invitation for The Smith Family. Whether you go or not is up to you."
Charles took it with a complicated expression.
Addison rushed over, tore up the invitation, and angrily said, "Don't drag us down."
Mary shouted, "Mom."
"Mr. Williams is sending out invitations everywhere. Did you forget mine?" At that moment, a mocking voice came from the door.
James looked up to see Keith and Leila entering with fruit baskets.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
