Chapter 50 Turned over a New Leaf?
Simon clenched his fists in frustration, feeling like he had reached his breaking point. This situation was too sudden; who would have anticipated Eric’s sudden desire to reclaim the private. hospital?
Simon dared not even consider the repercussions if he failed to return to the private hospital promptly.
It was said that Eric was unpredictable, ruthless, and exceedingly cruel. While he may have a connection with Kate, Eric would not go easy on him.
Simon cursed under his breath and reached for his phone to make a call, planning to liquidate many of his assets to raise four hundred and fifty thousand in cash. He made a call to Ruth as well.
Upon hearing Simon’s request, Ruth exploded. “What? Spend four hundred and fifty thousand to repurchase that private hospital and then hand it over to Kate for free?”
Simon’s expression was filled with impatience. “Eric wants the hospital back. Am I supposed to not do it?”
Ruth hesitated. After being ousted from the event, she lacked the qualifications to re–enter. The injuries on her body still stung, particularly the mark from the slap on her face. As she gazed at her reflection, she harboured a deep desire to retaliate against Kate.
Simon’s request for her to sell the luxury items he had previously gifted her to cover the cost left. Ruth uneasy. The thought of relinquishing items already in her possession was unbearable.
However, before she could respond, Simon’s impatient and somewhat cold voice cut in. “Ruth, which is more important: your current lavish lifestyle, or us gaining complete control of Lower Group and securing our future?”
Ruth’s expression froze, and she awkwardly replied, “I understand. The funds will be transferred to your account later.”
Upon hearing Ruth’s compliance, Simon abruptly ended the call. Looking around the room, he muttered a curse and left.
Ten minutes after Simon had left, the bathroom door creaked open, and Lucas emerged with a grim expression as he reviewed the contents he had just recorded on his phone with a profound
Simultaneously, Kate, whom Simon assumed had departed, emerged from the adjacent room and fixed her gaze on Lucas’s phone. “Did you record everything?”
Observing Kate’s composed demeanour, Lucas pursed his lips and nodded respectfully. “Yes.”
Lucas was genuinely taken aback by Kate’s strategy. He had not anticipated her leveraging Eric to

However, what truly surprised Lucas
s the question Kate had posed before meeting simon.
“Did Simon sell that private hospital to Ric’s men?”
Indeed, when Simon sold the private hospital, it was acquired by an individual sent by Eric.
Now, Simon intends to repurchase the hospital from Eric at triple the price and then gift it to Kate free of charge!
Essentially, Simon must return Kate four hundred and fifty thousand.
Lucas never foresaw this turn of events, finding it somewhat surreal.
She used to be a troublemaker who was confrontational and assertive with Eric.
She also used to shield Simon from harm or injustice. Yet now, she orchestrated an assault on Simon and compelled him to incur heavy losses by repurchasing the private hospital at a premium to hand it over to her.
It appears that Kate is seeking retribution against Simon.
Could it be… she has truly turned over a new leaf?
Kate was unaware of the inner turmoil in Lucas’s heart, but even if she were, she would probably just offer a wry smile.
She had indeed made a fresh start now.
