Old West was furious. If you're going to be bedridden, you might as well go out and have some fun; at least, you wouldn't offend the Moran family.
"Did Laila Moran come to the hospital recently to reconcile with you?"
Cole, who didn't feel any crisis, admitted with ease, "Yeah! That woman thinks she's something special? Wants to reconcile with me! I just told her to roll!"
"What did you say?" Old West nearly choked to death, unable to catch his breath. "You told her to roll?"
Cole sneered, "I've been beaten up like this. If she thinks she can just ask me to withdraw the lawsuit and reconcile, how will I have any face to survive in the future? Not letting her roll, should I wait to invite her for dinner? Although that chick looks good, I can't eat with such a face in front of me."
"You scoundrel!" Old West's vision went black, and he pounced on his son. As he continued to beat him, he yelled, "I earned this fortune with difficulty. Do you want me to beg with you in the future?"
Cole was being pounded by his father's big fists, and he deliberately had his injured leg wrapped in a cast to make his condition appear severe. As a result, he couldn't run even if he wanted to.
"What's wrong with me? Your son got beaten, and you should be avenging me, right?"
"I beat you to death, and that's avenging myself!" Thinking about the recent stock market, the evaporated assets, and the decreasing sales of his stores, Old West really wanted to kill this bastard son.
"Before, it was okay that you snatched my woman. This time, you caused me such big trouble. Let me tell you, even if you kneel and kowtow, you still have to go to the Moran family to apologize. I've already frozen your card. You won't get a cent until she forgives you!"
Old West after beating him, shook his fist, and left, leaving behind a confused Cole, holding his bleeding nose.
"What's the Moran family? Why should I apologize to her?" He was still utterly bewildered.
The nurse, pretending to be a wallflower, took advantage of the fact that he had just spilled a big piece of gossip and kindly explained to him, "The Moran family is the owner of Moran Media Group. Laila Moran is the lovely young lady who came to see you. She is not only the owner of a film production company but also one of Hollywood's best film directors. By the way, the actor who was beaten that day is under her company's contract, and a movie starring him is set to be released next month."
She knew all this so clearly thanks to the active reporting of TV and newspapers. The problem was that everyone knew these things, and when chatting, there was no sense of accomplishment. Finally having something that others didn't know, she spilled everything she knew like pouring beans.
After saying it, she took a deep breath, feeling relieved. Good things were meant to be shared. After pouring out all these words that had been bottled up in his stomach, she felt so comfortable that she could eat at least two more slices of pizza that night.
The nurse felt relieved, but Cole was dumbfounded. He never expected the woman who came to reconcile with him that day to have such a powerful background. Why didn't she reveal her background earlier? If she had shown her strength earlier, he wouldn't have asked her to roll!
No matter how ignorant he was, he knew what Moran Media Group represented. The old man of that family could casually play golf and have afternoon tea with the president. In each presidential election, the Republican candidate needed to have a good relationship with the Moran family. While it didn't guarantee victory, without the Moran family's support, winning wouldn't be so easy.
He had actually kicked out the granddaughter of the Moran family's old man and even told her to "roll." Thinking of this, Cole's whole demeanor changed. His legs went weak, and he broke into a cold sweat, groping his way back to the hospital bed.
As for the nurse, she had already run out to post what happened on her FB. Such a big piece of news could make her famous in minutes. How could she just keep it to herself?
#Breaking News: Finally understand why there was no reconciliation between the two parties, it all because of a "roll"!#
The caregiver enthusiastically wrote a long paragraph on his account.
"I've always wondered why Director Moran didn't reconcile with Cole West. Given Director Moran's influence, it should be easy to help Robert Downey Jr. achieve reconciliation with a bit of money. There's no need to make it this complicated."
"Today, I saw something and finally understood the truth. It's truly unexpected! Because of confidentiality reasons, please don't ask me what I do, how I know, or where I know it from. In any case, I did see it today, and what I'm about to say is all true."
"The reason for no reconciliation is that Cole West kicked out Director Moran, who came to reconcile, and even used the word 'roll' in such a rude way!"
The nurse is an active user on Facebook, and she is a senior nurse often assigned to take care of wealthy and influential patients. As a result, she witnesses scenes that others may not see. She often takes advantage of her position to release some harmless bits of information, attracting a considerable amount of attention.
It's not that she doesn't want to release major news; it's just that even if the individuals involved find out about the small news, they don't really care and won't take it to heart. However, if major news were to be leaked, she might end up being taken to court.
As soon as she posted this piece of information, a crowd of onlookers immediately gathered.
"I've had the same question before. So, this is what happened. Now I finally understand."
"Is it true? Would anyone dare to say 'get lost' to Moran?"
"It doesn't seem real. Only someone incredibly foolish would tell Moran to 'Roll,' right?"
Many were already following this matter, and even more people were drawn in quickly. However, a large portion of them doubted the nurse's words. Their reasons were quite similar – they found it implausible that anyone would be so foolish as to reject a reconciliation with Laila Moran. Who doesn't know the immense benefits of having the Moran family's friendship for future development? Would anyone risk asking her to leave?
The overwhelming skepticism made the nurse who posted the information anxious. If it weren't for her professional ethics, she would have described the events in the most detailed language possible, ensuring that even the most skeptical individuals would not question the authenticity of his words.
Unfortunately, she couldn't speak out because doing so might cost her her job. Who would hire a nurse with loose lips? Therefore, he could only grit his teeth in frustration, keeping the details to himself.
