"You!" Jamie was enraged. She raised her fist and was about to punch Lewis when Yolanda, who had just walked out of the clinic, stopped her.
"Ms. Henderson?" Jamie was confused. "He's too cocky. If we don't teach him a lesson—"
"Why stoop to his level?" Yolanda interjected without even sparing Lewis a glance. "If a wild dog bit you as you walked on the streets, would you fight the dog too?"
"Hahaha! You're right, Ms. Henderson! We shouldn't stoop to his level."
Yolanda's words had Dunstan and the rest bursting out in laughter.
However, they still couldn't release the anger they felt.
"However, even if the dog is annoying, we'd still have to teach it a lesson," they added.
"You bitch! Who're you calling a dog?" The smug look on Lewis' face cracked. His facial features were contorted. His bodyguards were glaring venomously at them, but no one dared to make the first move.
They were bodyguards from the Judd family. They were once defeated by Yolanda.
Yolanda wasn't bothered by Lewis' fury. She might seem like she was speaking to Jamie, Dunstan, and the rest, but each word she spoke was so insulting to Lewis that it made him want to combust in anger.
"Don't underestimate these animals. Even dogs know how to guard their masters. You may have thought that the Judd family had fallen, but they were very sincere in celebrating us.
"What we think of as omens of bad luck are all they could afford. It's the thought that counts. We can't be so mean to him, isn't that so?"
"You're right, Ms. Henderson. We really shouldn't expect much from animals." Dunstan and the rest might be angry, but what Yolanda had said had calmed them down.
With the people of those prominent families watching and waiting for misfortune to happen to Willow Creek Clinic, if they really were to throw hands with Lewis, they would probably be accused of causing public disturbances.
