Thirty minutes ago.
Belle and Melody, who were in Humanity Hall, watched Dennis lead a group of people into Thirteen Hall.
Belle looked at the Food and Drug Administration cars, her expression changing. “What’s going on?”
Melody looked confident. “Clarence must have killed that old lady’s grandson. Now the FDA is coming for him.”
“What should we do, then?” Belle was a little distraught.
She might have been the eldest daughter, but she was not as scheming as Melody.
Melody frowned.. “The best thing to do now is to call Mom and let her handle this.
“Mom has run the clinic for so many years, so she must have connections. She just has to come in, work some things out, and disassociate us from Clarence.
“If Clarence did kill someone, it’s Thirteen Hall’s problem. What does it have to do with Humanity Hall?
“If someone’s going to be in jail, it’s going to be Clarence. This has nothing to do with the Murphy family.”
Belle nodded. “Right, right, right. Hurry up and call Mom.”
They immediately called Peony.
Peony and Armstrong rushed from the Murphy family’s villa after learning about the incident.
It was half an hour after the call when they arrived.
The Murphy family rushed into Thirteen Hall. River and everyone else from the Food and Drug Administration had already left. Trevor had gone home to rest and heal his wounds, and Greyson had followed him.
Clarence was the only one left in Thirteen Hall.
“Mom, what are you doing here?” Clarence was a little confused.
Peony rushed forward. “Where are the people from the FDA? Clarence, I’m telling you, it’s Thirteen Hall’s problem if you’ve killed someone. It has nothing to do with Humanity Hall.

“Don’t sling mud at others now. You’re going to jail alone if you have to go. Don’t drag the Murphy family into this, you hear me?”
Peony’s first impulse was to disassociate herself from Clarence and not allow Clarence’s personal issues to affect Humanity Hall.
Clarence looked dumbfounded. “Killed someone?
“When did I kill someone?”
Belle looked at Clarence and scolded, “Clarence, there’s no time. Why are you still denying it?
“We all saw the FDA come. Didn’t you kill someone?
“It must be that old hag from this morning. I warned you to ignore her grandson. Now, great! You’ve brought trouble unto yourself!”
Melody persuaded earnestly, “Clarence, haven’t the Murphy family been good to you these last three years?
“You just have to plead guilty and not involve the Murphy family.
“You have to be grateful. If you plead guilty alone, you’ll only get a maximum sentence of ten years. The Murphy family has nothing to lose if you drag us into this, but Humanity Hall’s reputation will be ruined.”
Clarence shook his head, knowing they had misunderstood.
“Mom, that old lady’s grandson is fine. Someone reported me to the FDA,” explained Clarence.
Peony looked at Clarence in confusion. “Reported you?
“Who reported you?
“It wasn’t Humanity Hall.”
Clarence shook his head. “It was William.”
“William...”
Peony and the rest were shocked. They had not expected William to report Thirteen Hall.
Peony did not buy it. “Clarence, what makes you say William reported you?
“Even if William’s putting up a fair fight with you for Miranda, you don’t have to slander him, do you?
“Anyway, with William’s status, does he need to make petty moves toward someone like you?”
William had given Peony a lot of presents recently. They were worth millions of dollars.
Peony did not buy Clarence’s explanation and was unwilling to accept it.
Almost speechless, Clarence exclaimed, “Mom, that’s what the FDA said. It’s a real-name report. William reported me!”
Peony glared at Clarence. “Why are you yelling? Who cares if William reported you?
“William reported you for your own good!
“Maybe he’s just being kind, and he’s scared you’re selling fake drugs.
“Why are you yelling at me instead of thanking him for his kindness?”
Clarence was furious. “Mom, how could you entertain such an idea?
“William reported me to put me away in jail for good. Besides, he harbors no good intentions for Miranda. You’re Miranda’s mother, and I’m your son-in-law. How can you be so partial to outsiders?”
Seeing Clarence’s anger, Peony also felt that she had gone too far. A smile appeared on her face. “Clarence, William’s a good boy.
“There must have been a misunderstanding. William must have reported you for your own good.
“Think about it. You didn’t even graduate junior high, and you’ve never legitimately studied medicine before.
“Weren’t you disregarding human life when you started Thirteen Hall? What if you killed someone?
“Fortunately, William had the foresight to report Thirteen Hall so things wouldn’t go horribly wrong! Listen to me and shut Thirteen Hall down.
“If you’re really unwilling, merge Thirteen Hall with Humanity Hall. I see you’ve got a nice place here.
“I’ll pay you five thousand dollars a month as rent!”
Clarence was bitterly disappointed. He trembled with anger.
Once the Murphy family had learned that the Food and Drug Administration was investigating him, they thought he had killed someone and rushed over, not to help him, but to disassociate themselves from him.

Not to mention, Peony wanted to rent Thirteen Hall’s space for five thousand dollars a month.
In Mediterranean City, where every inch of land cost a lot of money, the rent for Thirteen Hall was at least two hundred thousand dollars a month. It was also located downtown, putting it in a pricey location.
‘Am I so unpopular?
‘Do they want to squeeze every last bit of value out of me?’
“What do you think, Clarence? Five thousand dollars a month, plus your old salary of three thousand dollars. You’ll get eight thousand dollars a month.
“Though eight thousand dollars isn’t a big deal in Mediterranean City, it’s the salary of top white-collar workers in second and third-tier cities.
“Aren’t you satisfied that a matrilocal son-in-law like you can get eight thousand dollars a month from the Murphy family?” Peony looked at Clarence with a smile, as if it was a great gift she was offering.
She seemed to have forgotten that Thirteen Hall’s land would be worth two hundred million dollars if Clarence sold it.
What was two hundred million dollars?
You could get an interest of millions of dollars a month if you kept that amount in the bank.
“F*ck off! Get the f*ck out!” Clarence exploded.
Peony looked at Clarence in surprise. “Excuse me?
“I’m your mother-in-law. Is this how you speak to your mother?”
“F*ck off! Get the f*ck out!”
Clarence grabbed the broom on the ground to chase them out.
“How dare you do that?!” Peony rolled up her sleeves.
Belle and Melody looked like they were ready to rush forward and tear Clarence apart.
Armstrong grabbed Peony. “Forget it! Forget it! A cornered beast will do anything when desperate. Even a rabbit bites when panicked. He’s desperate.”
“Hmph!”
Peony snorted coldly as she stormed out of Thirteen Hall. “What the hell? He’s just an orphan boy. What a mad dog. Can he even compare to a millionth of William?”
