“I’ll come over tomorrow when I’m done,” Kylie promised.
“Okay.” Hearing this, Ethan directly assumed that Kylie would come, visibly pleased with a smile forming at the comers of his mouth.
“What a scheming man, thought Kylie before leaving the hospital.
Derick then walked into the room eagerly. “Mr. Hayden, what’s the matter**
“Help me to the toilet, Ethan ordered.
“This is such a good opportunity. Why didn’t you ask Miss Stafford to help you just now?”
Ethan glanced at Derick.
Derick smiled shakily and quickly corrected himself. “Mr. Hayden, you are a gentleman. How can he be so scheming?”
Ethan’s expression turned even more gloomy. He just didn’t want Kylie to think he had frequent urination or kidney weakness.
Derick helped Ethan into the toilet.
Ethan’s eyes paused.
“Mr. Hayden, do you need me to help you take off your pants?” Derick asked eagerly.
Ever since Ethan fell in love, Derick had fallen out of favor.
Moreover, every time Derick flattered, he always ended up causing trouble for himself.
But whenever there was a chance, Derick couldn’t help but want to show off.
“Get out!” Ethan said coldly.
When did Derick provoke Ethan again?
Being shouted at again, Derick left with an aggrieved expression.
Ethan stared at the towel that was thrown into the trash can.
How much did Kylie despise him?
The next day, Kylie went to work.
Perla was already waiting for Kylie at the door. When Perla saw Kylie coming, she quickly followed her into
the office.

“Kylie, Dad kept calling you yesterday. Why didn’t you answer?” Perla was furious,
“I am in the hospital. My phone is out of battery,” Kylie said indifferently,
“After your phone is charged, why don’t you give Dad a call back? Do you know how worried he is about you?”
“Are you sure he’s worried about me?” Kylie sat on the office chair and looked at Perla coldly
Perla was stunned.
She knew that nothing could fool Kylie.
“I still have a lot of things to deal with. If there’s nothing else, you can go out.”
Perla gritted her teeth. In the end, she could not force Kylie. Perla could only leave.
After leaving. Perla quickly called Cohen.
In the next moment, Kylie’s phone rang.
Kylie didn’t answer Cohen’s calls all day yesterday. Now it was time to talk to him.
“Kylie, that’s enough! You’re not answering my calls, are you?”
“Humph.” Kylie sneered. “Who do you think you are? Why should I have to answer your call?”
“Kylie!” said Cohen.
“I’m busy. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
“Wait!” Cohen quickly stopped her. “I heard that there is a labor dispute among the workers at the Galaxy Group’s factory. Are you going to take this to court? What are you thinking? Once it goes to court, it will become public knowledge. Are you trying to ruin the Galaxy Group?”
“Whether Galaxy Group collapses or not is my business. It has nothing to do with you!” Kylie’s attitude was unyielding. “And the troublemakers caused me physical and psychological damage. I will definitely pursue. the matter to the end.”
“You!” Cohen gritted his teeth in anger.
Kylie was really impenetrable.
And this time, Cohen did play a leading role in inciting the workers‘ disturbance at the Galaxy Group factory. If Kylie were to investigate it, those workers might end up exposing him. In that case, it would bring a lot of trouble for him instead.
Cohen controlled his temper. “What do you need to accept a settlement for this matter?”
“Dad, why do you always want to settle this privately? If it wasn’t for Ethan who helped me take that hit,

I’m afraid I would have been dead,” Kylie said sarcastically.
“I know you’ve suffered. But I’m doing this for Galaxy Group. If this matter is exposed, it will have a huge impact on the company. Regardless, we are family, and I have been working at Galaxy Group for so many years, naturally having an emotional attachment. I don’t want the many employees of Galaxy Group to suffer because of this.” Cohen’s tone softened as he spoke.
Kylie sneered again.
Cohen’s words might sound good, but in reality, he was just afraid of getting implicated himself.
“Dad, since you’ve brought it to this point, I can agree to settle this matter privately,” Kylie said, relenting.
“You’re willing to settle this privately?” Cohen was clearly excited.
“I have conditions,” replied Kylie.
“What conditions?” asked Cohen.
“Firstly, Ethan has been seriously injured and is hospitalized due to the actions of the offender. The offender must bear all the expenses during Ethan’s hospitalization, including medical fees, hospitalization charges, nutrition expenses, caregiver fees, and compensation for mental distress,” Kylie said.
Cohen’s face turned ashen.
Ethan was receiving top–notch medical care during his hospitalization, and the expenses were
undoubtedly significant. The offender could not afford to bear these costs, so ultimately, it fell on Cohen to shoulder the burden.
“Alright.” Cohen gritted his teeth and agreed.
“Secondly, the offender must come in person to apologize to both me and Ethan, and guarantee that there will be no more incidents of causing trouble at the Galaxy Group in the future.”
“Sure.” Cohen did not even consider this condition.
In any case, it did not affect him.
“Thirdly, Galaxy Group’s factory director, Felix, and the production department manager, Robert, must resign voluntarily.”
“This won’t work.” Cohen refused.
These two people were Cohen’s confidants. If they were dismissed, Cohen would be missing two capable assistants at Galaxy Group. More importantly, if he were to make these two people resign, how would others loyal to him perceive him? Those who followed him would inevitably waver in their trust.
“This incident has something to do with their management. Shouldn’t they take the blame and resign?” Kylie asked.

“I mean, if they resign now, who will be responsible for production?” Cohen tried to keep his emotions in check.
“I’ll do it myself.” Kylie enunciated each word clearly.
“How can this be done?” Cohen became agitated once again.
“There’s nothing that can’t be done.” Kylie didn’t want to waste time with Cohen. “If you agree to the three points mentioned earlier, I’ll accept a private settlement. Otherwise, I’ll see you in court.”
With that, Kylie was about to hang up.
“I agree!” Cohen gritted his teeth.
He was actually forced to this extent by Kylie.
At first, Kylie had clearly been led by the nose by Cohen, but now he was being threatened by her.
Cohen was so angry that his blood pressure soared.
“Dad, if you can fulfill these three conditions, I’ll willingly drop the charges at the police station, Kylie reminded him. “Dad, you need to act quickly. The police won’t wait too long.” With that, Kylie hung up.
After Kylie put down the phone, a few messages popped up on the screen.
[I woke up from a nap. My back seems even more painful. I don’t know if it’s because the anesthetic has worn off.]
It seemed like Ethan didn’t administer any anesthesia yesterday.
[I wonder if the apples today are of a different variety. They’re not sweet at all.]
There were apples of the exact same variety as yesterday.
[I wonder if I’m interrupting your work? I’m just distracting myself. You can ignore me when you’re busy.]
Kylie was speechless.
This man was seeking her sympathy again.
Kylie thought about it. Before Cohen asked Felix and Robert to resign, many jobs were not easy to advance.
Therefore, she could still have some free time.
Without much hesitation, Kylie got up and brought her laptop to Ethan’s advanced ward.
As soon as she walked in, Kylie’s eyes paused slightly.
Kylie looked at Perla with a delicate and charming expression. Perla was smiling innocently and shyly in

Kylie smiled.
