Melanie turned back to see Sonia, right in the front of the queue beside her.She had almost forgotten about Sonia.Ever since she cured Gabriel of his condition, Sonia, who kept causing trouble in the Frost family, and Yvonne Frost, who didn’t like her, never appeared before her again.Melanie found it ridiculous for Sonia to be here.“Ms. Sullivan, are you here to attend the medical forum as well?” Melanie asked, suddenly feeling a strong urge to laugh.“Please, call me Dr. Sullivan.”Sonia waved the resume in her hands.She said smugly, “You might not know this, but I’ve been studying medicine over the past half a year. My mentor says I’m highly talented. How should I put this? Look, you and I are worlds apart. I am qualified to enter the forum!”Melanie glanced at Sonia’s resume, her eyes darkening.She was shocked by the idea of Sonia studying medicine. Was Sonia provoked by her into doing it?The entry requirements were confusing, too. Was Sonia really that talented?M
“Who…”Melanie had wanted to explain that she didn’t mean to show any disrespect to the experts, but the organizers throwing their weight around and encouraging factions wasn’t something worthy of respect.She didn’t want anyone taking her words out of context.Before she could even explain herself, she realized that the man who just emerged was someone she knew.Sonia thought that Melanie was asking Professor Marshall who he was.Thinking that Melanie didn’t know Professor Marshall’s identity, Sonia stepped forward and said ingratiatingly, “He’s the famous Professor Marshall! He’s an expert in advanced medical science, and the key case studies to be shared today all come from him! Is he not worthy of your respect?”She even ended with a critical question…Melanie sneered. “I didn’t mean that. I believe that those who know, will know.”“The forum’s about to begin. Why aren’t things wrapping up here?”Professor Marshall didn’t say anything further. He instead turned around to q
Although interrupting someone wasn’t courteous and wasn’t something Professor Marshall liked to do, but…He truly didn’t see how Sonia qualified for entry based on her own. Most of all, he didn’t want to listen to her lie through her teeth and pollute his ears.“Professor Marshall! Professor, please hear me out. There must be a misunderstanding…”Staff members began clearing out the scene, but Sonia refused to leave. That was when she heard the staff members calling for security. She had no choice but to leave with a tail between her legs, not forgetting to glare at Melanie before leaving.The crowd continued making comments about Melanie, but the way they looked at her had changed. A resume Professor Marshall complimented was undoubtedly amazing!Through Professor Marshall’s summary, they were impressed to hear about the various feats that this doctor managed to achieve at such a young age.“That doctor said it well! How could a staff member of the forum be bribed? To think th
All the experts were sparkling with wit during the medical exchange forum.The juniors off-stage were awestruck by every single case study shared.That was especially so when Professor Marshall made his final presentation, during which he analyzed two successful medical cases featuring patients in vegetative state regaining consciousness.What’s more, both cases happened within this year.Professor Marshall realized how effective his treatment was, and was therefore excited to return home to share his success so that fellow doctors can test it out and provide him with suggestions. Having great minds come together may accelerate the refinement of this preliminary success.Melanie’s excitement was bubbling in her chest throughout the forum.Professor Turner was right.The symptoms the patients exhibited in those two medical cases sounded similar to that of her mother! Like her mother, the cause of them being in a vegetative state was accidental.If she could apply Professor Marsh
Melanie smiled helplessly as she took the parcel from Nancy’s arms. “Nancy, go ahead and retire for the night. I’ll take this upstairs myself.”Nancy saw Melanie’s expression, and couldn’t hold back a chuckle.Preparations for the anniversary celebration were in full swing, and many had been coming to their house to take photos as materials for the event. Nancy overheard them talking about Melanie finally finding the one, and was preparing to announce her engagement during the anniversary celebration…Nancy felt glad for the old master and mistress, who couldn’t be by Melanie’s side.-Melanie headed upstairs with the huge parcel in her arms, her flip-flops slapping against her heels. She opened the parcel, and found a gown, jewelry, and a pair of shoes…Her brows arched.She picked up her phone lying on the table, and called the sender of the parcel.Before she could speak, the man on the line said, “Have you finally opened the parcel?”“I told you, I’m very busy,” she said.
“Miss Melanie, please hear me out…”The department head was afraid that Melanie might get angry, and explained everything in a hurry.“We had no choice. We didn’t invite them in the first place…but this afternoon, Daniel Jones brought a bunch of men and caused a scene at our office. He said he had a part to play in Jones Enterprise since its establishment. Although he was no longer part of the enterprise right now, he insisted on being at the anniversary celebration.“There were many people crowding around, including reporters. We had no choice but to agree to his request to avoid any negative press coverage…”“I got it,” Melanie said with a nod.The moment Daniel and his family set their minds on causing trouble, the outcome would be the same even if Melanie tried to stop them from attending. She decided to just wait and see what happens.Melanie assured the department head, “Don’t worry, there’s no need to be so tense. Just send someone to keep an eye on that family.”Upon hea
That evening, Jones Enterprise’s anniversary celebration was held in its banquet hall. Invited guests started streaming in two hours ahead of the start time.Annie and William returned to the country in advance to help Melanie with the event. When they saw Gabriel arriving, Annie asked in surprise, “Mr. Lindsey, why are you here today?”“Today’s occasion is so important to Melanie, of course I have to come,” Gabriel said sincerely. Annie pursed her lips. After much hesitation, she said, “You’re right, it’s a very important occasion for Jones Enterprise and Melanie herself. See how romantic the event decoration is… Jefford…will be proposing to Melanie during the banquet later…”“I know…” Gabriel said with a nod.He had long heard about it. That was why he said that today’s occasion was very important to Melanie. He wanted to witness it for himself.Annie saw the sincerity in Gabriel’s eyes, and her heart ached for him. She couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Lindsey, you might not be f
Melanie heard the mockery in her voice and turned to see Lena, whom she hadn’t met for a while. Lena’s parents were standing right behind her, as if they were her bodyguards.“Relatives?” Melanie sneered.She couldn’t even be bothered to take another glance at Lena. Instead, she turned to the reporters’ camera. “How do all of you understand the term relatives? She never once appeared when either I or Jones Enterprise met with trouble. Conversely, she insists on being part of the picture when Jones Enterprise is at the peak of its glory. People like this can hardly be considered family!” she said.“Well said, Miss Melanie!”Some of the media partners remembered what Lena had been guilty of before, and eagerly stood on Melanie’s side.Just then, Annie squeezed through the crowd and grabbed Melanie’s hand.“Lena Jones! Are you trying to get yourself on the headlines once more, now that news of your scandal have just been suppressed? Or shall I look back on your glorious achievemen
