Chapter 0038

"What a miser you are, Mr. Hawk How much did that ointment cost? 20 bucks?" I pursed my lips and looked Nicholas in the eye as I spoke.

I was angry. I was angry that he treated Claudia so well, yet tried to humiliate me with some medicine that barely cost anything.

Shrouded in the shadows, Nicholas scoffed. His lips were curved into a slight smile.

"What about this?" he asked. "How much did Pete's ointment cost? Was his more expensive than mine? Surely it was because mine belongs in the trash can."

Feeling trapped, I tried to push him away, but he grabbed my hand and said, "Just because Pete pays you 7000 dollars a month, you value him more than me, who's been feeding, clothing, and housing you for the past four years." I was shocked. Had he always known about the contract between Silas and me?

But so what if he had? He was willing to pay someone else tens of thousands of dollars in medical fees for Claudia's sake, yet he never even offered to take me to the hospital to get looked at.
