The Runaway Groom
Chapter 835

Stan pretended not to hear it. "I'm hurt. You have to take me to the hospital.”

Neil was frowning. "I'm warning you—if you're faking it, I'll call the cops.”

"Call them! There are cameras nearby that would have caught you running into me. There were pedestrians who saw it too, and you'd even refuse to take me to the hospital after that? You're not weaseling your way out of this!"

Stan stayed on the ground, watching as Neil's face alternated between different colors and ending up ashen.

He could not help pursing his lips, and wondering why the man had to upset Isaac of all people.

The man would end up destroying him!

Meanwhile, there was a crowd building nearby—who could resist looking when there was drama involved?

Naturally, some were paid actors, all just to make things awkward for Neil so that he was forced to take Stan to the hospital.

“You ran him down! Everyone saw it—you have to take him to the hospital!"

"Yeah! You definitely did it. Just look at him, a strapping youth knocked down to the floor, unable to get up. He must be seriously hurt.”

“You should have his family jewels checked too, or he'd be less of a man."

As the crowd started to throw shade, Stan did not have to look to know that James Cross was there too.

His eyelid was twitching and he was cursing inwardly!

Him, less of a man?! Look who was talking!

Still, Stan's role was a victim, and unable to get up, he could only shoot James a look of spite.

James was smiling smugly and he muttered under his breath, "Stay down, now. You have to stay there even if he doesn't take you to the hospital. I'm busy, so I'm going.”

Stan rolled his eyes as James and Isaac slipped through the crowd and left.

Why did it have to be him and not James?!

He would have a word with Isaac after this!

As for Neil, things only got further awkward as the crowd around them increased in number, so he had to take Stan to the hospital.

However, the doctors found nothing wrong with him even after a thorough check-up.

Even so, Stan insisted that he was hurting all over, even claiming that he had trouble breathing and had to stay at the hospital.

“The doctors said you're fine. Don't try to con me!" Neil was glaring at him furiously, his eyes bulging as he resisted the urge to kill Stan.

“I'm feeling bad no matter what the doctors say,” Stan complained. "If you don't foot the bill for my hospital stay, I'll go to your house every day, shouting that you ran me down and refused to pay my bills!" However, he was clearly trying to pull a con, and anyone would be upset!

Neil was just stopping short of getting a stroke!

“I've never seen someone as despicable as you. You at least look educated—how could you be so shameless?"

Stan blinked. "Look who's talking. Your dad was saved, and you'd sue his savior instead! Do you even have a conscience?"

Neil understood right then. “Irene put you up to this, didn't she? To set me up?"

“No, you have it wrong. You're a murderer,” Stan said as he lay on the ground. "I want to be admitted and if you don't pay for it, I'll sue you." Neil was speechless. “You're impossible.” Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Ow, it hurts so much... Ouch... Just taking a leaf out of your book, man. Ow..."

Unable to come up with a retort, Neil simply stormed off.

He just did not expect that Stan would follow him. Just as he got in his apartment, Stan started to cry out in pain and complained, "Everyone! Come, see! Neil Turner ran me down in his car but ran away! He stays on the eighth floor, and I heard his father used to be the director of some research center.”

Everyone naturally knew who Stan was talking about since it was a small apartment, and Dennis always had everyone's respect there. But while Dennis was humble and everyone had a good impression of him, Neil was a little too proud and tended to belittle others, especially since he was a university graduate with a good career.

It was alright to be slightly proud when one's father was famous, but they would seem conceited if they did not show restraint!

Everyone did not like Neil much, especially since everyone else would greet each other when they saw each other in the apartment, while Neil did not!

Fuming, Neil ran downstairs, intent on giving Stan a beating!

Still, he was perplexed to find Stan covered in blood.

What the hell happened?!
