At this moment, he received a phone call.
“What? My son is in the hospital because someone has beaten him up?”
Darren’s expression darkened.
“Ah? Are you okay, Mr. Park?” Zoey inquired.
“Ms. Lopez, I have to go. My son has been beaten up, and he’s in the hospital right now. I need to go to him,” Darren explained.
“Let me come with you,” Zoey responded, as their collaboration was extremely important to her.
“Sure.”
They soon arrived at the hospital.
“Who did this to you?” Darren urged.
“A man named Levi Garrison!”
“What? Levi Garrison?”
Zoey’s face fell.
Darren demanded, “Do you know him?”
“He’s my husband,” Zoey answered honestly.
“Ha! What a coincidence. Your husband did this to my son? How?” Darren was furious.
The medical report showed that Silas had sustained multiple fractures, including facial fractures.
The punch left him a helpless wreck. He was lucky enough to have survived.
“Think about how you should settle this matter. I demand an explanation! I’ll be frank with you. The wealthiest man, Winston Gonzales, is my backer! I will pursue this matter!” Darren uttered in a stern tone.
Zoey walked to a quiet zone and called Levi at once. “Do you know you’re in trouble?”
Levi was surprised. “Huh? I’m in trouble?”
“Did you punch someone?” Zoey snapped.
“Yes, I did. But it was a friendly competition. The other party said that if he got hurt, it would have nothing to do with me,” Levi replied.
“Ugh. Why do you like to get into trouble? You’re in deep s*** now!”
Zoey was so infuriated she hung up at once.
She returned to Darren. “Mr. Park, we’ll take full responsibility for this. I hope that we can settle this out of court. We’ll pay for the hospital bill and compensate you.”
Darren glared at her. “No! I won’t go easy on you!”
Zoey asked, “Then what do you want me to do?”
“Easy. Your husband should suffer twice as much as my son has. My son fractured twelve ribs, so your husband has to fracture twenty-four ribs. The same goes for the other injuries, too.”
“Then, you shall sleep with me for one night. I will stop pursuing this matter if you agree,” Darren suggested.
The first time he saw Zoey, he was attracted by her beauty.
This was the perfect opportunity for him to score her.
“No!” Zoey declined at once.
“I insist on compensating you. We can pay any amount that you demand,” she uttered.
Darren sneered, “Compensation? Do you think that I need money? You’ll have to play by my rules!”
“If you don’t agree, I’ll ask the Gonzales family to talk to you!”
A cold glint shone in Darren’s eyes.
Zoey’s face darkened, as her heart lurched anxiously.
It was obvious Darren was trying to force her to cave in by threatening her with the Gonzales family.
If the wealthiest family around intervened in this matter, they would be in deep trouble.
However, if this were brought to court, Levi would be jailed for a few years.
If they settled it out of court, the Gonzales family would ensure that Levi was punished twofold and she would be sexually assaulted as well.
Compared to the Gonzales family, they were nothing.
“I’ll give you a few hours to think about it,” Darren snorted.
After leaving the hospital, Darren rushed over to the Gonzales family house to ask for Winston’s help.
“Mr. Gonzales, are you the most powerful man in North Hampton?” Darren asked.
