Chapter 1770 I don't believe there's a woman I can't tame.
"I didn't do it on purpose, you know that. I'm so popular that there are always some ill-intentioned people harassing me. Last time, they even smashed my car. I did it to protect myself. Who knew Mr. Nelson would be so arrogant?"
Bernice complained softly.
Max remained silent. He actually found some sense in her words.
"Don't say I'm unreasonable. I'll transfer you a million dollars as compensation for his medical expenses and emotional distress. I think this money should be enough for Mr. Nelson. Remind him not to try to extort me. If he pushes me too far, I'll consult a lawyer online." After saying this, Bernice hung up the phone mercilessly.
Max looked at the phone, shocked. Bernice was really arrogant.
Half an hour later, when Max arrived at the hospital, Lucas was already lying on the bed with his right foot wrapped in thick bandages.
But Lucas was in a really bad mood.
"Where's Bernice? Tell her to get in here." Lucas, who was always calm, had never been so furious.
Or rather, no one had ever dared to hurt him before.
Especially since Bernice was a woman.
He even thought that Max had come over so quickly because Bernice didn't dare to come alone and had dragged Max along.
Bernice wanted Max to plead for her? No way.
Max was stunned for a few seconds. After coming to his senses, he twitched his mouth, "I didn't see Bernice."
"What? She didn't come?" Lucas trembled with anger, "Contact her and tell her to appear in front of me within twenty minutes, or she'll never show her face in the entertainment industry again."
Max was troubled but still called Bernice, "You better come over. Pay Mr. Nelson the money in person, admit your mistake, apologize, and I'll say some good words for you. Let's just get this over with."
"I'm not going. I was just trying to protect myself. Is that wrong?"
Max angrily replied, "Do you really want to be blacklisted?"
"I've thought it through. I have land back home. If I get blacklisted, I'll just go back and farm." Bernice said helplessly.
Max was silent. Was she joking?Max felt he couldn't understand the entertainment industry anymore.
When he returned to the ward, Lucas asked coldly, "How did it go?"
"Bernice transferred me a million dollars. She said it's compensation for your emotional distress and medical expenses." Max said nervously.
"A million dollars?" Lucas laughed in utter rage, "She's quite generous, but is my foot only worth a million dollars? Get me a lawyer, I want to sue her."
Max kindly reminded, "Mr. Nelson, Bernice is a public figure. If this blows up, everyone will know you climbed over her wall."
Lucas's expression turned extremely grim, "I don't believe there's a woman I can't handle. Spread the word: in the entertainment industry, anyone who dares to help Bernice is against me. The Nelson Group's medical resources will be off-limits to their entire family."
Max clicked his tongue.
Lucas's move was really ruthless.
But Lucas hadn't used this tactic in a long time. It seemed he was really pushed to the limit.
"Mr. Nelson, what Bernice did was indeed wrong, but she was injured by ill-intentioned people a while ago. It's understandable that she set up traps at home for her safety."
"Why are you speaking for her?" Lucas suddenly asked coldly, "You don't like her, do you? I heard that when she terminated her contract with the company, you privately gave her fifty million dollars."
Max was extremely nervous, "I'm innocent. I gave her fifty million dollars because I felt the company was at fault. I felt a bit guilty. As for speaking for her, it's because the company has had too many scandals recently. Many people are afraid to use our artists. Only Bernice's image has always been good and can still make money for the company."
"The company has never been unable to operate without one artist. If it is, then you have no business being the CEO." Lucas warned.
Max's heart trembled with fear, and he dared not say another good word for Bernice.
But he felt extremely aggrieved being caught in the middle.
"Tell her that when she comes to her senses, she should come and beg for forgiveness on her knees." Lucas coldly ordered.
Lucas had never suffered such a loss.
Moreover, he hadn't forgotten Bernice's attitude when he was injured.
Not long after Max left, Erin and Sarah came over, with Sarah carrying some nourishing soup.
"What happened to you? How did your foot get caught in a trap? Who did this?" Erin asked with a pained expression. Although Lucas was cold and ruthless, he was still her son.
"I'll handle this matter myself." Lucas leaned on the bed, not wearing glasses, his handsome face slightly pale.
Sarah's heart skipped a beat as she watched from the side.
It was the first time she had seen Lucas like this.
"Lucas, I made some nourishing soup for you. It will help with your recovery." Sarah eagerly placed the soup on the table and served him a bowl.
Lucas stared at her, feeling more and more frustrated.
Logically, this should be done by Bernice, the instigator.
"Who asked you to come?" Lucas's cold tone was very unkind.
Sarah felt embarrassed.
"Why are you so cold when you speak?" Erin glared at Lucas, "I was shopping with Sarah. When she heard you were in trouble, she came over immediately."
After a pause, Erin added, "I see your leg is injured, and you need someone to take care of you. Let Sarah stay and look after you."
"It's my honor to take care of Mr. Nelson." Sarah immediately said. A man was most vulnerable when he was injured, and she had to seize this opportunity.
"But I don't want you to take care of me." Lucas didn't give her any dignity, "Sarah, do you have any nursing knowledge? You can't sing well, you can't act well, and you want to stay here to annoy me?"
Lucas's words were too harsh.
Sarah's eyes reddened at his words.
Lucas, in a bad mood, became even more irritable, "Why are you crying? Bernice was scolded by me even more harshly, and she didn't cry like you. If you can't take criticism, can't sing or act, what else can you do besides donating blood?"
"Lucas, you're being too cruel." Erin looked at him in disbelief.
"There are even crueler things I can say. Do you want to try?" Lucas asked mockingly.
