Grayson froze, unable to recover from the shock. The room fell into silence, and tension rose in the air. Faye crossed her arms and stared at the two bottles before her. She smiled at Grayson. "Do these bottles look familiar, Dr. Underale?"He frowned at the bottles in confusion and looked at Faye. "President, what do you mean? Is there something special about these bottles?""Nothing. These are ordinary bottles used to contain medicine here in this hospital," Faye said and picked the bottles up. Her sharp gaze landed on Lilith, who looked smug, then at Grayson. "Exactly," Grayson said confidently, not showing any hint of guilt. "So you've seen these bottles before, Dr. Underale?""This is a rather ordinary medication. I prescribe dozens of bottles of these to patients weekly, so I have seen them. "However, these are not medicines for your aunt and shouldn't be on her prescription list. Why are you asking, President Brown?"Faye's smile deepened as she looked at his rig
"Faye, have you lost your mind?""Are you seriously considering doing the surgery on your aunt?""Even if you're hesitant to spend those two million on your aunt's treatment, you can't bring harm to her!""She's your aunt! Have you forgotten all the kindness she's shown you throughout the years?""You heartless bitch, this is outright murder!""If you don't have the money, just admit it. Instead of making false promises, failing to fulfill them, and then resorting to murder—is that your plan?""Once your aunt dies on that operating table, you won't have to spend any more money on her treatment, right?""Faye, your heart is filled with malice!"Eleanor, along with Clark and Mandy, hurled insults and accusations at Faye one after another.Not only that, this time, they also brought Clark's son, the 15-year-old Ray.Although not tall, Ray was far from being small in size. At a height of 5.2 feet, he weighed over 160 pounds.His face was plump, squeezing his eyes into thin slits
For nearly five or six years, the humble Dr. Ziegler had served as the director of Jorn Central Hospital, showcasing his exquisite medical skills. The hospital was a tertiary institution in Jeorgia. It was an investment of the Shaw family and held significant influence in the city. Dr. Ziegler's prestige mirrored the high standards of the hospital. The moment he spoke, a stunned silence fell over the scene.While Faye might be lying, Dr. Ziegler had no apparent motive to support her lies.Lilith was already in the lobby. Hearing the commotion, she disregarded the police's attempts to restrain her and rushed back to the operating room. She pointed at Faye and shouted, "How could she be Dr. Connor?"Dr. Ziegler, you still hold the director's position at the Jorn Central Hospital. Do you recall the fundamental purpose of being a doctor? "Must you defend her lies because she's the major shareholder of the hospital? Have you considered the repercussions of your actions?"Not onl
The Brown family had been debating whether to slip away during the long wait. However, upon Layla's arrival, they instantly stirred with liveliness. Eleanor, in particular, rushed forward, poised to confront Layla."You shameless bitch, why haven't you perished yet? You and your little child are nothing but trouble! Are you both scheming to harm my daughter?"Your actions have brought enough misery to the Brown family. If Clint hadn't married you, a harbinger of disaster, we wouldn't be in this predicament today."You owe the Brown family!"At the mention of the Brown family, Clark also became animated and stood up."Look at yourself, Flora. Do you even deserve to be the CEO of the Brown family?"If you genuinely want to manage the Brown family properly, relinquish it to my brother or give it to me. Without us, the Brown family would never have prospered!"Mandy promptly stood up in support. "Well said. Managing a business is a man's job. Your daughter is married now, so you s
Cedric stole a glance at the pure Sophia, who wore a sincere expression on her face. While Faye had mentioned her cousin before, the impression wasn't profound. He only knew that their relationship seemed amicable. Nodding slightly, he smiled gently and encouraged. "Do your best."Sophia immediately beamed, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Cedric. However, he had already shifted his gaze, giving a cold glance at the media reporters nearby.The reporters avoided Cedric's gaze, but the earlier conversations indicated his influence in Jeorgia, a representation of the influence of the Shaw family. Under his icy and sharp gaze, reporters felt a tingling sensation on their scalps. Some timid ones struggled to stand and supported themselves by the wall, fearing they might collapse.They regretted waiting for the surgery results, but the potential headline of a failed surgery intrigued them. The prospect of a headline like "Dr. Connor's First Surgery Failure" or "Jeorgia Shaw Fam
Faye changed into a fresh set of clothes before entering a modest waiting room where her family eagerly awaited her return. Everyone else was present except for Harlem and Sophia, who had accompanied Gloria to the ward for some rest."Darling, you're incredible!" Layla exclaimed excitedly, reaching out to envelop Faye in a warm embrace. Faye gracefully crouched down, hugged her mother, and chuckled. "It's all thanks to you introducing me to the world of medicine."Certainly, Layla's past as an exceptional doctor had left an indelible mark on Faye. From an early age, she absorbed various medical principles from Layla and later expanded her knowledge with Benjamin, laying a robust foundation for her future medical endeavors. Naturally, Faye's exceptional intelligence and excellence were helpful as well.Since childhood, she possessed an almost photographic memory, absorbing knowledge rapidly and extrapolating from it. Her extraordinary talent facilitated swift progress in me
On the way home, Faye leaned back in her chair and asked, "How did you handle those people from the Brown family?"Cedric raised an eyebrow. "I had them spend a couple of days in the police station. If you're unsatisfied with that, should I give them more trouble?"Faye chuckled. "There's no need to dirty our hands. The Brown family is insatiable, and we should just let them fight amongst themselves."Cedric raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"Faye's gaze deepened. "Do you know why I was with Mr. Victor when my mother was kidnapped?"Cedric paused for a moment and realized that he was indeed unaware of this."That day, Mr. Victor was approached by Clint and Lizzie. The couple deliberately told him many scandals about my mother for money. They mixed the truth with lies, and Mr. Victor couldn't distinguish the two at that point. He was so infuriated that he came close to dying."At that time, Victor was truly on the brink of life-threatening danger. Fortunately, Faye arrived in time."Is th
Clint's words caused Tracy, who was applying makeup, to pause. She sneered. "Dad, I haven't officially started a relationship with Mr. Garcia yet. It won't be appropriate to make such demands now.""Yet you dress up every day and go out on dates? You even stayed out all night from time to time." Clint's expression darkened, his tone unpleasant."Dad ..." Tracy finished applying her lipstick and stood up, holding her purse. As she turned, her alluring features were revealed. She wore a tight-fitting strapless dress that accentuated her graceful figure. Overall, she looked charming and enticing.She smiled. "Nothing comes without effort. Going out every day, dating, and feigning joy and intoxication are initial investments. Why would someone spend money on me or invest in me otherwise? If you want him to arrange projects for you, that's not a problem. But he needs to become your son-in-law first, right? "Before that, I need to gain his favor. Do you really think running a business
