I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 397 Perhaps finding the hospital room to be too noisy , Seamus got up and left the room , heading to the smoking area . His assistant , Rudy Liddel , stood beside him , asking in a hushed voice , " Mr. Whitfield , will people say that we're just as unscrupulous as Kate for doing this ? " Seamus took a drag from his cigarette and shot him a look that conveyed that he was a fool . " Does it matter ? Why would we need scruples when dealing with someone like her ? I haven't driven Mrs. Pearson to her death - that's ethical enough .

" Remember why we're here - to give them a taste of their own medicine . The things Mr. Snider can't , won't , or finds inconvenient to do , I handle and take the blame . That's my job . " Rudy silently gave him a thumbs - up . It was no wonder Seamus was George's most trusted secretary ! He was always on the move and handling a million things a day , being George's right - hand man . Seamus took a few more drags of his cigarette before stubbing it out . George rarely involved him in personal matters , so the fact that he'd been called in for this meant that there was trouble .

It wasn't necessarily serious , but it probably had too many strings attached . To put it simply , George needed someone who didn't care about propriety and decency to handle this . If that were the case , Seamus needed to go all out on this . Besides , the Pearsons were already in the wrong . This was just a war of words , which was Seamus ' specialty . Although his position at Snider Group was just that of a secretary , he actually held more power than many senior executives in the company . That was why they addressed him with respect whenever they saw him .

Ten minutes later , Seamus appeared in the hospital room again . Evie was awake now . She had only fainted out of aggravation earlier . The doctor said , " The patient must stay calm and keep a positive mood to help with recovery . " Seamus stood by the door . " I doubt anyone would be able to stay in a good mood with a child who can't stop stirring up trouble . " Connor couldn't take it anymore . " Guards , throw him out of here ! " Unfortunately , the bodyguards the Pearson family had brought with them were only a fifth of the ones Seamus had brought .

They couldn't even move , let alone throw him out . Kate couldn't stand it . " I can call the cops on you for this ! " Seamus casually pulled up a chair and sat just beside the door , looking relaxed and composed . " Go ahead . I haven't disrupted hospital order , broken the law , or illegally detained anyone . What can the police do to me ? Being rude isn't a crime , is it ? " Kate's face was ashen . " So , you do realize how rude you're being . " Seamus shot her a look . " But I'm telling the truth . Does this mean that you , too , realize what nasty things you've done , Ms. Pearson ?

" Priscilla hadn't said anything from start to end as Evie's health was all that concerned her . However , even she couldn't help speaking up just then . " What exactly are you here for today , Mr. Whitfield ? Will you only be happy after you drive my sister to her death ? " Seamus smiled and said , " That would be the ideal outcome . " " You ! You're shameless ! " Connor shouted . Chapter 397 +25 BONUS Evie was on oxygen and looked frail . She said weakly , " Mr. Whitfield . " Seamus nodded . " Please go ahead , Mrs. Pearson . " His demeanor made everyone else's blood boil .

Evie's face was ghostly pale . She rasped , " My daughter is at fault for this . I didn't raise her right , and I'll issue a public apology for her mistakes . I'll apologize to Mr. Snider and Ms. Ravelle . Is that okay ? " " No. " Connor snapped , " What the hell do you want then ? " Seamus stared into Kate's eyes and enunciated , " Do you think an apology is enough to make up for your mistakes ? Then your apologies must be worth their weight in gold . But what if the cycle repeats ? You apologize now , and Ms. Pearson causes trouble again .

" Then you , as her parents, apologize for her again . Are we supposed to sit here and let you disgust us with the shit you stir up ? " Chapter 398
