"We needed someone to assess a project at Riverdale. However, there have been people causing trouble here recently, so initially, Caleb wanted to send Isaac since he didn't want more trouble, but I took the initiative to volunteer myself.
"That's why he's sending me there," Rowan explained.
"When are you arriving then?" Yolanda was contemplating if she needed to do some preparation ahead of time.
"Not so soon. Earliest would be the beginning of next month." Rowan sighed. "I've got a case here that I can't leave alone for the time being, but my men are already on their way to Riverdale."
Yolanda hung up resignedly. She had a feeling if Rowan were to come to Riverdale, it would cause a huge turmoil at Riverdale once more.
Just as Yolanda had put away her phone and walked out to the clinic, a van had entered stealthily into Titan Alley. However, instead of parking on the opposite road, they stopped right in front of the clinic's entrance.
There was a glimmer of light in Dunstan's and others' eyes as they stood by the entrance. Someone had finally arrived!
Unlike what they had expected, a flurry of coins and flowers flew out of the doors and windows of the van the moment it was opened. They covered the ground entirely.
"Damn it! Do they really think that we're powerless here?" Dunstan and the rest were furious as they glared at the people in the van.
It was clear that they were up to no good since they were throwing coins and flowers that were usually left on graves at them on such a joyous occasion.
Even though Dunstan and the rest were not superstitious, no one liked seeing such a thing happen.
"This is our congratulatory gift to you. Get Yolanda to come out here to acknowledge our fucking gift." Eight people came down of the van despite the people of Willow Creek Clinic yelling at them.
The young man leading them had a cigarette in his mouth. His eyes glinted with menace.
It was the long-lost Lewis.
"I don't think this clinic can continue operating anymore."
Jean, Miranda, and the rest watched as Willow Creek Clinic was covered with coins and flowers and shared a gloating smile. They were all watching eagerly and waiting to see how Yolanda and the rest were going to turn this around.
"You bastard!" Dunstan and the rest rushed out from the clinic to face Lewis head-on.
"Grab all your bad omens and get out of here!" Jamie roared. "Or trust me when I say, I'll get Eternal Clan apprentices to beat you up!"
Lewis smirked and retorted, "My, my. Isn't this Ms. Useless from the Yate family? You don't even have the qualifications to be an heir.
"How shameless of you to use the name of Eternal Clan to pressure me! Did Eternal Clan send anyone to celebrate with Willow Creek Clinic today? Do you see anyone? Hah!
"Mr. Yate gave up on you a long time ago. Of course, he wouldn't care about trivial matters like these to go against the prominent families. You can continue dreaming of beating me up!"
