A Cursed Mask, A Medical Legend

Chapter 13 Ivanna\'s In Trouble

　　Susan's words infuriated Declan. He was very clear about what kind of woman Ivanna was, and it was not up to an outsider to say anything.

　　"Director Chiao, I'm here to ask for my pay in advance. Although it might be against the rules of the hospital, what I want to advance is also what I deserved. If the hospital decides to give me an advance, I'll gladly accept it. If not, I, Declan, will not accept charity from others! Also, Director Chiao, if you don't know my friend, please refrain from commenting so rashly!"

　　After finished speaking, Declan turned around and walked out of the office. Declan did not mind others insulting him. He would use his own capability to prove to them! But he would never allow other people to insult his friends and family.

　　Susan did not expect that response. She just wanted to give Declan a casual reminder but his reaction was so big that she felt wronged. No one had ever shouted at her like this since she was a child.

　　"Declan, stop!" Susan shouted at Declan with a cold face, but Declan had already walked out of the office at this time and did not stop at all.

　　After coming out of Susan's office, feeling the warmth of the sun outside, Declan felt that he might be a little too agitated just now. He did not even manage to get a penny. Speaking of helping Ivanna to pay off her debts, he did not even have enough to sustain his own living expenses.

　　Especially now that he had a car. It was estimated that the petrol for this car was even more expensive than his meals.

　　"Forget it. There will be light at the end of the tunnel. I'll think about other ways." Declan was not someone who would fret over things.

　　At this time, Declan's phone rang. He took out his phone and glanced at it. It was an unknown number. There were too many unknown calls nowadays, such as promoting all kinds of loans, renovation, and medical examinations. So Declan just hung up the phone.

　　But then the unknown number called again.

　　"Quite persistent." Declan wanted to see what this guy was trying to sell, so he answered the phone.

　　"Hey, are you Declan Lin?" The person from other side asked with a very low voice.

　　Declan's first reaction was that this person was a swindler, so he said casually, "If you want me to come to your office, forget it. I just came out of the leader's office."

　　Some phone scams could address the other party correctly, and then pretend to be the authority and summoned them to come to the office. But of course, the scammers would not really want him to go to the office. They just used this method to frighten people. When the target was a little flustered, they would use other ways to ask the target to transfer money to them.

　　The voice on the phone was obviously a little stunned, then he hurriedly explained, "I am not a scammer. Do you know Ivanna Lam? I am Ivanna's colleague. You should come to the Pearl Palace quickly. Ivanna is in danger, she is in room 406."

　　"What? Ivanna is in danger? What's going on?" Declan's face sank when he heard that Ivanna was in danger. He walked quickly out of the hospital.

　　The man said, "I'll pick you up in awhile. We'll talk more about the details when you get here. You'd better hurry up, or we can't hold on any longer. They're going to take Ivanna away."

　　"Okay, wait for me!"

　　Declan did not even apply for leave. He went straight out of the hospital and drove his Audi A4 to the Pearl Palace.

　　Pearl Palace was a hot spring club. In addition to being an ordinary clubhouse and had a nightclub, there were also hot springs to be enjoyed by its customers. It was very famous in Seashore City.

　　Declan drove the car at a very high speed. After running three red lights on the road, he finally arrived at Pearl Palace.

　　"Are you Declan?" A young man in his early twenties stood at the entrance of Pearl Palace, looking very anxious.

　　"Are you Ivanna's colleague? Take me to Ivanna and tell me what's going on." Declan said to the young man with a serious face.

　　The young man took Declan in quickly. He told Declan everything.

　　Ivanna was working in a company that produced cosmetics and beauty equipment. As she was a sales assistant, her salary was determined by her sales performance.

　　Recently, Ivanna received a big deal. A private hospital had received an investment to open a beauty and aesthetic clinic. Hence, it needed a lot of beauty products and equipment. If this deal falls through, Ivanna would no longer have to work for the rest of her life. She could buy a house and a car and live comfortably with the commission of this deal every month.

　　Therefore, Ivanna attached a lot of importance to this business and even signed a contract with the person-in-charge of the hospital a few days ago. Originally, this was a good thing. Today, the person-in-charge and the investors wanted to discuss the details of the cooperation with Ivanna, but they did not expect that the investor began to be dishonest and tried to molest Ivanna.

　　Although Ivanna was in sales, she had always been very protective of herself. When the investor tried to touch her, Ivanna refused on the spot. But what was unexpected was that after his intentions were revealed, the investor not only did not restrain himself, but also became more open with it. He told Ivanna outright that if she did not agree to him, then the cooperation must be reconsidered.

　　Ivanna was also a hot-tempered girl hence, she refused to continue working together on the spot. But then the person-in-charge at the hospital and the investor took out the contract and told Ivanna that the contract clearly wrote that if Ivanna unilaterally refused to cooperate with them, she would need to compensate the penalty of one million yuan!

　　Ivanna really did not expect to fall into someone else's trap unknowingly. One million yuan, she had not even pay off the 100,000 yuan she owed. How could she pay for this one million?

　　The person in charge and the investor were smart and experienced. They began to comfort her and sat her down to have a drink with them. They could only complete the deal if everyone was happy.

　　Ivanna knew that these two people must harbor bad intentions, so she asked her colleague to call Declan as soon as possible. She had no relatives in the Seashore City, and Declan was the only person she could trust.

　　When Declan heard the story, he became furious in an instant! B*stards, how dare they try to disturb his family, are they looking for death?! For the past few years, Ivanna had taken special care of him, and Declan had already regarded Ivanna as his family.

　　Bang!

　　When he came to the private room, Declan did not even bother to knock on the door. He just kicked the door open.

　　The two men in the private room, who were constantly urging Ivanna to drink, were shocked and looked towards the door.

　　"Declan Lin?"

　　Richard frowned when he saw Declan's furious face. He did not expect Declan to come here.

　　"Richard? It's you?" Declan could not control his anger when he saw Richard forcing a glass of wine on Ivanna. He did not expect that it was Richard Jia, that b*stard.

　　Declan rushed forward and grabbed Richard by his collar, and picked him up from the table.

　　Richard was shocked. He shouted at Declan in a low voice, "Declan, what are you doing? I've already told you. You should count yourself lucky that I didn't blame you for the huge loss you've caused to the hospital. Don't be so miserable over such a little amount of salary!"

　　Richard thought that Declan came here angrily to look for him for his salary. Since he fired Declan the other day, Richard went to the next province for business purposes. He just came back today, so he did not know that Declan was now the deputy director of the emergency department of the Chiao's Hospital and did not know of Declan's heroic deeds.

　　Sitting next to Richard was a big fat man. He was as fat as a pig. No, he was a boar. His physique was bigger than ordinary pigs and his face was full of fats. His small eyes kept staring at Ivanna.

　　Declan suddenly rushed in and it startled him as well. Now after hearing Richard's words, he understood that Declan was an employee who was fired. He said scornfully, "Young man, there are too many people like you now, so impulsive. What's the benefit for you to offend us? A month's salary is nothing. As long as you make me happy, I'll give you a job and it will change your life."

　　"You? F*ck you!" Declan said in his heart, "How dare a disgusting pig like him be interested in Ivanna?" He was so angry that he kicked him to the ground. Then he reached out to grab his collar and pulled him up together.

　　This scene frightened the young man who just came in. This man weighed more than 300 pounds, yet Declan picked him up with just one hand? How much strength did he possess? What was more, Declan was carrying Richard with the other hand.
