Chapter 398

In the deputy director's office at the hospital.

"Hello? Mr. David, I've done everything as you directed. You can chill out. Nothing's gonna go wrong."

The other end of the phone seemed to say something.

The deputy director's face was plastered with a big grin, "Alright, alright. As for the thing you promised... Ah, I can rest easy then." He hung up, picked up a cup of coffee with satisfaction, and took a leisurely sip. He looked forward to being transfered to Central Hospital as the director next week. The whole thing had been a close shave.

On the other end of the phone, David looked pretty grim. He glared at his son, "You good-for-nothing! What can you even do? All you do is cause trouble and I have to clean up your mess. Do you realize what would happen if Lucian found out? Not even I could save your ass then! You've got some nerve pulling off something like this without telling me! If Jett hadn't found out and told me, I wouldn't even know you guys planned something this big today!"

Pete clenched his teeth, "Even if you hadn't interfered, I wouldn't have messed up. Lucian wouldn't have found out. You think I can't do anything right, that I'm useless, then why did you even bother having me, raising me? Dad, am I really that worthless in your eyes? Since I can never measure up to Lucian, why do you bother protecting me? You might as well hand me over to the Lindberg family!"

"YOU!" David's blood pressure shot up out of anger at his son's words, almost passing out.

"You insolent son!" He slammed his hand down on the table.

Pete knelt on the carpet, silent.

David looked at his son's angry expression, slamming his hand on the table again. He was a tall and imposing figure, naturally commanding. Now his face was flushed with anger, which made Pete terrified. "Speak! Explain everything about this whole thing, and your relationship with Penelope! If you dare to omit a single detail, I'll show you no mercy!"

"I've known Penelope for a long time. I met her at a party. After the party, we got together. At that time, Penelope hadn't met Lucian yet. She's a party girl, and we've had sex a few times. I didn't expect her to suddenly get together with Lucian. Because she saved Lucian, he promised to marry her, but she was already carrying my child. She originally wanted to abort the child, but we decided to keep it. Dad, if she marries Lucian with my child, then the Lindberg family's assets will all belong to our Roling family."

David roared, "Shut up! Listen to what you're saying! Carter has done me huge favors. The Lindberg family is like my family!" But his

heart wasn't as steadfast as his words.

He was the butler of the Lindberg family. He took care of almost every matter of the family, but his power was limited within the family. In the Lindberg Corporation, he was just a deputy president in name. Aside from being known as the adopted son of the Lindberg family, he had no special privileges.

He was adopted, but he wasn't treated as such.

He lost an eye protecting Carter. Carter adopted him as a son to express gratitude. Even though he was an adopted son of the Lindberg family, his children were treated as the children of a butler, while Aidan could dine at the main table, along with Lucian and the others.

That was the gap between them. He, David, was still just a servant. He never enjoyed the treatment of an adopted son.

Who could accept such discrimination? He certainly couldn't.
