Ch. 421..425: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 421-425

Chapter 421

Nana left early in the morning to take a part-time job as a model.

She had not been working long when a man in a suit approached her, claiming to be Huey’s lawyer. He was accompanied by a large group of people.

“Miss Marlin, my client, Huey Layton, is currently in the hospital with serious injuries,” the lawyer said. “He intends to sue you for a large sum for your crime of colluding with others to assault him and damage his belongings. If you refuse to pay, we will have no choice but to hand the matter over to a police.”

“Huey plans to sue me?” Nana couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “I didn’t sue him for his transgressions. How could he sue me?”

“Miss Marlin, be careful of what you are saying. Are you making a verbal attack on my client?”

Nana gnashed her teeth. She wished she had kicked that bastard a few more times!

“If he wants to sue, fine! Let him try! Now get out. Don’t disturb me while I’m working again!”

“Miss Marlin, I have to warn you not to be so reckless.”

The lawyer’s expression was stern. He gestured towards the people who came with him. These people began to violently break and smash any item they could reach.

Everyone heard the noise, but no one dared to do anything.

“Miss Marlin will pay for the damage.”

The lawyer smirked.

Nana was shocked. What kind of lawyer behaved like a hooligan?

“What are you attempting? Stop it!”

When Nana stepped forward, one of the strong men pushed her to the ground. Her hand smacked against the floor and became painful.

When the lawyer saw Nana on the ground, he shouted to the people around him, “Miss Marlin is injured. Help her up and take her to the hospital!”

The hooligans stopped their destruction and began to lift Nana up.

“You thugs, let go of me!”

Nana struggled hard, but soon she had been taken to Huey’s ward.

Huey looked like a mummy with all of the white gauze wrapped around him. He could hardly even move. Nana was pleased.

Still, she was also confused.

Corbin had knocked Huey out with a stick and she had kicked him a few times. There was no way they could have done this much damage to him.

“That’s how it happened…”

Nana told Eliana everything.

Something wasn’t right.

“Huey, what are you planning to do now that you have brought Nana here?” Eliana asked quietly.

“What am I planning? Nana and her man assaulted me at the Moon Lake Manor. I want vengeance,” Huey snarled.

“You’re lying! We didn’t hurt you this badly!” Nana exclaimed.

“I can prove it,” Huey snapped. “Call your man right now. I want him to kneel and apologize to me! If he doesn’t, you’ll be responsible for paying my medical bills!”

“Medical bills?”

Eliana and Nana glanced at each other, realizing that something was suspicious.

Huey snorted. “Show them the bills,” he ordered his lawyer.

The lawyer placed a stack of bills in Nana’s hands.

Nana began to calculate the total cost. “How can it be so much? You’re trying to blackmail me!” she exclaimed.

Huey’s face twisted into a wicked smile. “Nana, you have to understand the situation. You have done something wrong, so you will have to face the consequences. You will pay for all of it!”

Eliana looked crestfallen as she whispered in Nana’s ear, “Nana, did you really hit him? And who is the man he mentioned?”

Nana bit her lip. Huey was already causing enough trouble. She couldn’t get Corbin involved again.

“You might as well call the police and have them arrest me now, Huey. I will not pay you anything, nor will I let you meet him!”

“Well! You have some nerve!” Huey was furious as he turned to his lawyer. “Call the police!”

“Wait!”

Eliana spoke up.

She gave Nana a stern look. “Nana, are you protecting someone? If someone else really helped you hurt Huey, then he is partially responsible. Don’t be foolish enough to accept the responsibility alone!”

Nana lowered her head and hesitated.

Chapter 422

Huey was happy inside, seeing Nana’s worried expression. However, he did his best to look hesitant.

“Well, for the sake of our past relationship, I can let you go this time. Let’s see, if you don’t have money to compensate me, you can still compensate me with something else…”

“What do you mean?” Nana asked in confusion.

“I want you to stay in the hospital and take care of me for free for a month. After that, we will be even. What do you think?”

After saying that, Huey winked at his lawyer, who immediately took out a contract.

The contract stated that Party B, Nana, was to take care of Party A, Huey, for free for one month. During this period, Party B had to unconditionally obey any request from Party A. After the period of one month, the debt would be cleared.

“It’s an unfair contract. You can’t sign that, Nana.”

After reading the contract, Eliana strongly objected to Nana signing it.

It was obvious that Huey had ulterior motives. If Nana signed the contract, she would be at his mercy.

“Well, if she doesn’t sign it, she will have to compensate me and pay the medical bill. If she can’t afford it, we will meet in court. At that time, Nana, you will certainly regret not having not signed.”

Huey didn’t mind openly threatening Nana.

“Okay! I’ll sign it!”

Nana’s hands trembled at the thought of the risky commitment she was about to take. However, she seemed to have made up her mind.

“Nana!”

Before Nana could do anything rash, Eliana grabbed her hand and shook her head.

She felt something was wrong.

“Eliana, I have no choice…” Nana’s said sadly. Her face was pale and her eyes were filled with tears.

“Wait!”

Eliana picked up the hospital bill again and studied it carefully.

After reading the whole list, she found that many of the drugs prescribed in the bill were strange.

Huey had suffered only bruises on his body, but had been prescribed several medications for psychiatric conditions.

That wasn’t normal at all.

Could it be… These bills were definitely not for Huey!

“Nana, look. There is something wrong with the medicines prescribed on this bill. I think the bill may be fake. Don’t let this bastard fool you.”

As Eliana spoke, she showed the bill to Nana.

“What do you know about drugs? Are you a doctor? Look, all these drugs were prescribed to me by the doctor. Is that how you expect to get out of it?”

“I don’t know much about drugs, but I can ask another doctor to check this bill.”

After saying that, Eliana turned around and was about to go outside to call another doctor when Huey’s lawyer stood in her way.

“Miss, we haven’t reached an agreement on the compensation terms yet. No one can get out of this room until we strike a deal!”

“That’s blackmail,” Eliana said, gritting her teeth. Then, she looked at Nana and said seriously, “Nana, don’t sign it!”

Huey chose to simply ignore Eliana.

He didn’t know much about this friend of Nana’s, but he knew Nana well. Nana was soft-hearted and innocent. She certainly wouldn’t let her lover suffer. Huey guessed that she would choose to bear everything on her own.

Just as Huey had guessed, Nana didn’t listen to Eliana at all. She had already made up her mind.

She picked up the pen and stared at Huey blankly. “I hope you keep your word. We won’t have anything to do with each other after a month.”

“I’ll definitely keep my word,” Huey answered at once.

He was about to achieve his goal. A month was quite enough for him to deceive Nana.

Just as Nana was about to sign the contract, Alvin Perry, the dean of this hospital, came in with a doctor, who wore a mask.

The doctor looked at the man lying on the bed and said hoarsely, “I have to examine Mr. Layton now. Can you all leave the room?”

Huey was annoyed by the doctor’s interruption when Nana was about to sign the contract. Fearing that his deception would be discovered, he glanced at his lawyer.

The lawyer immediately understood what Huey meant and he shouted, “No way!”

“Since you don’t want to leave, are you ready to take full responsibility for what might happen if Mr. Layton’s treatment is delayed?” the doctor said sternly.

Finally, the lawyer had no choice but to leave the ward.

“Doctor, are his injuries that serious?”

Nana stepped forward and inquired about Huey’s condition.

But to her surprise, the doctor held her hand and said softly, “Don’t worry, miss. Everything will be fine.”

At this moment, even though the mask on the doctor’s face covered more than half of his face, Nana still recognized the person in front of her when she looked into his eyes.

“Corbin?” Nana murmured.

Indeed, it was Corbin who was dressed as a doctor. He held her hand tightly and whispered, “Don’t worry. I’m here with you.”

These few words made Nana suddenly feel calm and relaxed.

She felt like as long as he was there with her, everything would be fine.

Nana then withdrew her hand and turned to Eliana. She said in a relaxed tone, “Let’s go. The doctor has to work now.”

“What? We are leaving already? But the problem is not solved yet!”

Eliana was totally confused. She didn’t understand what was going on.

“We will still have plenty of time to discuss and reach an agreement later. If we stay here, we will only delay the doctor’s work.”

After saying that, Nana put her arm around Eliana’s shoulder and pushed her out of the ward.

Once out of the room, Nana turned to the doctor and said sincerely, “Hey, doc… You’re in charge now.”

Corbin nodded silently.

They didn’t really need words when their eyes met.

Chapter 423

After everyone left, only Huey, the dean, and Corbin who was disguised as a doctor, were left in the ward.

Huey swallowed hard. Although he seemed calm, he was actually very nervous.

He knew the truth about his alleged injuries.

He feared that the doctor would actually examine him because he would quickly find out that these so- called injuries were all fake.

“Stay away from me! I don’t want him to examine me! I don’t trust any other doctor except my friend who works here! He alone will treat me. You two get out of here!” Huey yelled at the dean and Corbin.

“But…”

The Dean tried to explain to this patient that he needed to let the doctor do his work.

While the dean was wondering how to persuade the reluctant patient, Huey shouted again!

“There is no ‘but’! Do you know who my mother is? My mother is Miss Rosamond Deleon. If you still want to run this hospital, you’d better get the hell out of here.”

However, Corbin was completely unfazed by Huey’s threats. He walked over to the bedside and pretended to check Huey’s injuries. Huey wanted to struggle but the plaster and bandage kept him from moving.

After a while, Corbin said with a serious look, “Mr. Layton, your injuries seem very serious. We need to treat you right away or your whole lower body could be paralyzed for good.”

After saying that, he waved his hand at someone at the door and said, “Come in!”

The next moment, a nurse walked into the ward with a tray on which there were several vials of medicine and other medical tools.

“Hurry up, give Mr. Layton an injection,” Corbin urged the nurse.

Huey’s eyes widened in fear when he saw the huge syringe in the nurse’s hand. The nurse was approaching him slowly and all he wanted to do right now was run away.

Alas, in order to look really sick, he had his whole body plastered and bandaged. As a result, he couldn’t move and could only watch in horror as the big needle pierced his flesh.

“Ah!”

Huey’s scream echoed in the ward.

“Good,” Corbin said with a nod. “We are going to take off the plaster on you now, Mr. Layton.”

Corbin and the nurse then proceeded to remove Huey’s plaster little by little. While removing the plaster, Corbin asked, “Mr. Layton, can you feel your hands and feet now?”

The pain of the injection had sent Huey into some sort of trance. It was only when he heard Corbin’s words that he came to his senses. He immediately tried to move his hands and feet, but they weren’t moving at all.

“What’s going on?”

Huey panicked. He tried again, but still couldn’t move his body.

Damn it! He really couldn’t move now!

His eyes filled with fear and panic, he roared, “What did you do to me?”

Corbin pretended to be panicked and said nervously, “I just followed standard procedures. You should normally be able to move now.”

“Damn it! I was fine. I didn’t need your injection. Do you know the seriousness of the medical malpractice you have just committed?”

That was exactly what Corbin wanted to hear.

With a satisfied smile on his face, he asked calmly, “So you were fine?”

Huey was silent for a while and suddenly realized he had been tricked.

However, at this time, the only thing he cared about was being well again.

With tears in his eyes, he glared at Corbin and yelled, “You fucking screwed everything! You have to cure me!”

Corbin ignored Huey who kept cursing and crying, and turned to nod at Alvin.

At this moment, Alvin walked over to Huey and said calmly, “Mr. Layton, don’t be nervous. You’ve just been injected with anesthetic. It’s normal for you not to feel anything for a while.”

Upon hearing this, the despair in Huey’s eyes slowly dissipated and he seemed to see a glimmer of hope. He looked at Alvin and then at Corbin and asked, “You mean I will be fine?”

“Yes,” Corbin replied coldly.

Now that the storm had passed, Huey glared at Corbin and shouted angrily, “How dare you gang up and play tricks on me?”

Huey was completely beside himself right now. He forgot that he couldn’t move and wanted to stand up to beat Corbin.

Because of his agitation, he fell heavily to the floor.

As he felt a sharp pain in his hands, he grabbed Corbin’s pants and shouted angrily, “What kind of doctor are you!”

With a sneer, Corbin took off his mask, revealing his face.

“I’m not a doctor!” he said calmly.

Huey raised his head with great difficulty, and looked at the face of the man in front of him. When he saw who it was, his heart sank.

“It’s you! You are Nana’s lover! You ruined my plan! And you dared to hit me!”

“You realize the truth a bit late,” Corbin said coldly, wrenching away his foot.

“Damn you! Tell me your name. I swear I will make you pay for this!”

Realizing that he had been tricked, Huey went mad.

Corbin stared blankly at the man on the floor and said coldly, “My name is Corbin. Corbin Jenkins. Remember my name. And now I will be very clear. If you try to get your hands on Nana again, I won’t spare you.”

It was hard to imagine that a gentle, honest man like Corbin would ever threaten someone.

It turned out that love could make us to do things we never thought we would do.

Chapter 424

“I will kill you!”

Huey thumped the floor angrily with a ferocious look on his face. He wished he could stand up and punch the man in front of him who dared to fool him.

But he couldn’t do anything at all. His body was still weak because of the effect of the anesthetic.

However, although he couldn’t move, he could speak.

When Corbin saw that Huey was too noisy, he called another nurse to come in. Then the two nurses worked together to get Huey back to bed.

The anesthetic gradually took its full effect, and now he couldn’t move even his lips. He could only stare at Corbin hatefully.

Corbin just looked at him indifferently and ordered coldly, “Alvin, please take care of him.”

Since Corbin worked for Maurice, Alvin was also respectful to him.

“Don’t worry, we will take good care of Mr. Layton. If we had known that he wanted to plot against Mr. Moran’s friend, we would have taken action earlier to prevent any trouble.”

“It’s not too late to do something yet. Since you already know what he is up to, keep an eye on him. I don’t want him to cause more trouble.”

Corbin looked at Huey lying on the bed like a corpse with only his eyes moving. He was delighted.

Huey’s lawyer outside the door had no idea what had happened. He was still dedicated to fulfilling the mission Huey gave him.

“Miss Marlin, I advise you to sign the agreement now.”

Nana crossed her arms over her chest and said confidently, “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to sign it.”

The lawyer was stunned for a moment. But then, he continued to threaten her, saying, “I advise you to accept my client’s proposal. Otherwise… You won’t like the consequences.”

While the two were confronting each other, Eliana suddenly patted Nana on the shoulder and whispered in her ear, “Nana, I have an idea.”

At this time, Eliana had calmed down, and her mind became clear, so she thought of an idea.

There was obviously something wrong with the hospital bill that Huey showed them. And his lawyer must know about it.

It was even possible that the lawyer forged it.

It only meant that… The lawyer had been conspiring with Huey from the beginning to deceive Nana.

At the thought of this, Eliana put the fake hospital bill in front of the lawyer and said aggressively, “Mr. Payne, since you are a lawyer, you should know the law better than we do, right? If I find a doctor to verify that this hospital bill is forged, we will take you as Huey’s accomplice when we bring this to court. Do you think a villain like Huey will find a way to save your ass by then?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Aldwin Payne, the lawyer, still tried to play dumb.

“Helping others to forge evidence is a grave offense. Your lawyer’s license may be revoked. You know that, right? Are you ready to take the risk?”

Upon hearing this, the expression on Aldwin’s face suddenly changed.

And when Eliana saw this, her suspicion became heavier. “Judging from the look on your face, could it be that… You don’t have a lawyer’s license at all?”

With a guilty conscience, Aldwin shouted, “Don’t talk nonsense!”

This time, Eliana confirmed her guess.

“If you are not a lawyer, who the hell are you then? If you don’t tell us, I’ll call the police right away. I want to see if the police will arrest me or you, a fake lawyer.”

Eliana took out her phone and pretended to call the police.

“No, wait! You can’t call the police.”

Aldwin was so anxious that he reached out to grab the phone in Eliana’s hand.

It was just a pity that Nana saw through his intention. She blocked him and shouted, “Eliana, call the police now. I want these frauds to be arrested.”

Eliana held up her phone and threatened, “Mr. Payne, I’ll give you one last chance. Are you going to tell us the truth or not?”

Looking dejected, Aldwin glared at her and snapped, “Fine!”

Eliana smiled. “Good! Tell us now.”

Aldwin sighed and said, “Actually, I’m not a lawyer. I’m just an unpopular actor. Huey hired me to do this. He paid me to act with him. Who would have thought that things would end up like this? I really didn’t mean to deceive all of you. It’s just that it’s not easy to make money these days, so I took this job. But I don’t want the money anymore. Just please don’t call the police.” He begged Nana and Eliana, looking sincere.

Then he took out the check Huey gave him, shoved it into Nana’s hand, and ran away. Soon, he disappeared from their sight.

Eliana and Nana stood there and watched him disappear. They were rendered speechless.

At this moment, Corbin walked out of the ward. He had already settled everything inside.

Nana immediately walked up to him with expectation in her eyes.

“You… Have you settled everything?”

“Corbin! You were that doctor?” Eliana exclaimed and covered her mouth in surprise.

She didn’t know what exactly was going on.

Chapter 425

Wearing a smug smile on his face, Corbin raised his eyebrows and said cheekily, “Of course. Is there anything I can’t handle?”

“What did you do to him? Tell me this instant!” Nana asked with a concerned look.

She knew how stubborn and persistent Huey could be. He often came across to others as an overbearing asshole. How could he suddenly have a change of heart and let her go so easily?

“Don’t worry. He wasn’t hurt at all. He only faked his injuries to manipulate your feelings and set you up,” Corbin explained.

After learning the truth, Nana gritted her teeth with intense hatred. She wanted to rush inside and beat Huey up.

“What a scumbag! How could I be so blind to have fallen in love with him back then?”

Eliana walked up to her and patted her shoulder. “Well, it’s all over now. Just promise me that you’ll never see him again.”

“By the way, there is one more thing that I need to tell you.” In one swift movement, Corbin grabbed Nana’s ear and snapped, “Nana, listen to me carefully. Be smarter with your choices next time! You could have told him to confront me instead, so why didn’t you? I am a grown man, and there’s nothing he could do to me. Do I make myself clear?”

“Okay, whatever you say! Let me go now. It hurts!”

Nana’s face immediately turned red. Contrary to her words, she didn’t feel any pain at all. But her ears were tingling with a warm feeling.

At that moment, the nurses and Alvin rushed out of the ward.

One of the nurses was pushing a cart loaded with several medical supplies. Underneath the bright hallway light, a long needle of a large syringe was noticeably exposed, looking rather sharp and deadly.

As soon as Corbin caught sight of it, he was startled and quickly hid behind Nana.

“Oh my goodness! You’re unbelievable. How can such a strong man be afraid of needles?” Nana laughed at him in mockery.

Corbin smiled sheepishly and looked at her with affection.

Nana turned her head, and the pair gazed longingly into each other’s eyes. Like a scene straight out of a romantic movie, it suddenly felt that love was in the air.

Awkwardly standing next to them in silence, Eliana felt like a third wheel.

She didn’t see this one coming at all. It seemed that Corbin was the one who was thought as Nana’s lover by Huey.

But when did they know each other?

Ever since Nana had moved into the Pierce family’s villa, Eliana sensed that something was going on between the two. But she wouldn’t have expected them to fall in love!

Keenly observing the smitten pair, Eliana asked in curiosity, “Nana, do you want to tell me what’s the real status between you two?”

“Well, it’s kind of complicated. I don’t know where to start.”

Nana couldn’t give a straight answer and her face was turning red.

“Just tell me the truth. Don’t wriggle yourself out of this one!” Eliana laughed teasingly as she jabbed her finger at her best friend.

Under the mounting pressure, Nana finally shared the beginning of their love story.

“Well, you were busy with work, so I had been sending the kids to school every day. That’s when I met Corbin. I didn’t know he was Maurice’s assistant and thought that he was Silas’ uncle.”

After a long while, Nana finally revealed all the juicy details.

Eliana’s jaw dropped in sudden realization. “So the mystery friend you mentioned a few times before is Corbin!”

Nana blushed and nodded shyly.

Eliana couldn’t help but grin in immense pleasure for Nana. The romance she shared with Corbin felt like a magical fairytale.

Who would have thought that there was a spark between these two people from entirely different worlds all of a sudden?

Corbin was a nice and respectful man. Eliana would be overjoyed if Nana could be with him.

Seeing that the two needed some space to talk alone, Eliana quickly excused herself.

“You lovebirds hang out and enjoy each other’s company. By this time, Adrian and Aileen should be done with their classes. I have to go and pick them up now.”

“Wait, Eliana. I want you to know how grateful I am for you today. Thank you so much,” Nana said in between sobs as she held her hand.

Smiling warmly at Nana, Eliana nodded and promptly left the premises.

When she knew that Nana was at the hospital, Eliana called the teacher and asked her to watch the kids until she came to pick them up.

Inside the kindergarten, it had been quite some time since classes were over, but no one showed up to take Adrian and Aileen back home. They looked very upset.

Fortunately, Silas was there and kept them company.
