Besides, she thought that she, as an elder, would not be able to accept being intimidated by a junior in such a
way.
She gritted her teeth and looked at Lukas, and her tone was a little softer than it had been when she had spoken
to Reese earlier, "I am the mother of Mariel Chase. Who are you? You cin here and started to interrogate
me, what do you want?"
Lukas' eyes narrowed and an extremely dangerous look flashed in his eyes, "What do | want to do? | want to ask
you who you just scolded?"
Evelyn was a little bit panicked by Lukas' momentum, but she still managed to stand up with her neck held high
in the air. Not wanting to lose her dignity as an Elder, she continued to stand and speak, not wanting to hold
back anything.
Her thought was that no matter how fierce Lukas was, there was no way he would do anything to an elder like
her in front of so many people.
With a somewhat arrogant attitude, Evelyn went on to say, "I have been cursing that shameless woman, Reese
Roberts! Her photos were leaked online. What? Are you going to defend her too? Well, | guess a woman like that
must have a lot of tricks up her sleeve to get men to follow her around one after the other!" she continued.
Mariel's expression suddenly changed and she cried out in fear, "Mom, what kind of nonsense are you talking

But before she could get out what she wanted to say, she saw Lukas suddenly reach out and grab Evelyn by the
neck.
Everyone in the ward was shocked at that moment.
Mariel cried out in terror, "Mr. Strakovski!"
Lukas was pinching Evelyn so hard that her face was starting to turn into blue.
Lukas' grip was incredibly strong and Evelyn began to look terrified. She tried desperately to pull Lukas' hand
away, her eyes wide with terror.
Lukas' voice was cold and deep, "Don't you dare say one more word about her. Evelyn struggled desperately, but
she couldn't free herself from Lukas' grasp.
Oliver lunged at Lukas, but Lukas kicked him like he weighed nothing. Oliver was thrown right up against the wall
next to him, and he clutched at his stomach in pain.
Just as Mariel was about to go to help her mother, she saw Lukas looking over at her with a cold and terrified
look on his face and her hands immediately froze.
Lukas's voice was dark and
frightening. He stared at the woman he was holding like a demon, "Mrs Chase, may not beat the elderly, but for
an old and disrespectful person like you, | am not going to bedenient with you!"
After Lukas had finished speaking, with a sullen look on his face, he slammed Evelyn down hard on the hospital
bed.
Mariel quickly went to help Evelyn.
Reese was also stunned. She stared stupidly at Lukas' back. She never would have expected that Lukas would
have taken action against Evelyn.
Oliver, still clutching his stomach, stepped forward and angrily said, "Mr. Strakovski, please let it go! You have
gone too far!"
Lukas suddenly turned and met his eyes.
The look in his eyes was like that of a cold, murderous god.
Oliver thought about Lukas kicking him just now and then looked into Lukas's eyes. He was frightened by Lukas’

A sarcastic smirk appeared at the corner of Lukas's lips, "Now I've gone too far, but when your mother had no
qualms about being

too far."

Oliver pursed her lips tightly, his face grew somber, and he stopped speaking.
Ava watched coldly. She had only
said a few words to defend Reese, and Evelyn had scolded her. She was really outraged. She had nothing but
contempt for people who used their seniority as an excuse to unreasonably scold their juniors and even resort to
slander.
Though Lukas's method of beating people was a bit violent, his actions brought a sense of satisfaction to the
onlookers, as it was seen as justice being served.
Evelyn's neck was nearly broken by Lukas. She was left gasping for breath on the hospital bed, her face pale and
contorted with pain, coughing heavily.
