Cato had been waiting for this call. When he answered, it was no surprise."Cato, do you have time now? Come out and meet me," Bob Alter said, afraid that Cato might decline. He added, "Let's talk about Harry's matter."After checking the time, Cato agreed to meet Bob Alter at the Garden Hotel in City S.Two hours later, at midnight, Bob Alter arrived at the Garden Hotel with a cane.The hotel manager was waiting at the door and took him to the top floor."Please take out your phone, Chairman Alter. We need to search you to make sure no recording devices are brought in," the manager said with a smile.Bob Alter raised an eyebrow, well aware that this was Cato's usual style. However, today, he clearly felt a great humiliation.But what could he do? Cato was the one in power. He didn't even have the qualification to refuse such a search.So, he obediently opened his hands for the manager to conduct the search.After the inspection, he walked into the room. Behind him, his assistant want
On the other end of the phone, Ivy choked back a sob, almost on the verge of tears. "Just now, another group of doctors came in and mentioned a small issue with Grandpa's surgery. They assured us that they would do their best to save him, but they couldn't guarantee success. Mom has fainted, and my brother and I are waiting at the entrance. Shawn, I'm feeling quite scared.""Don't be afraid, I'm coming right now."While soothing Ivy, Shawn signaled Luke to quickly take him to the hospital. It was his fault. He shouldn't have dealt with business at this time."Mr. Tate, don't worry; we'll be there soon." Luke reminded.Shawn continued to comfort Ivy, "Grandpa has good fortune; nothing will happen. I'll be there in five minutes.""Okay, I'll wait for you." Ivy's voice on the phone was weak, filled with helplessness.She had always been accustomed to being strong, dealing with people like Harry who required a thorny response. Suddenly facing this situation, even if she pretended to be ca
Not long after Shawn went in, Luke received a call.It was from the person they sent to gather information. He said, "Assistant Luke, there are rumors circulating that our Madam is currently a hot candidate for the Rising Star of Tomorrow. Both City A and County A are considering appointing her. As long as Madam doesn't have any issues in the next two months, she will definitely be the Rising Star of Tomorrow."Luke was overjoyed. After hanging up the phone, he shared the good news with Ivy.Contrary to expectations, Ivy didn't react with the calmness and happiness he anticipated. Instead, she furrowed her brows."They chose me probably because of considerations from DT Investments and the County Clinic. DT Investments has invested a significant amount of capital in City A, especially in County A; this is just a transaction."Luke certainly knew that there was more to the story. What he didn't expect was that Mrs. Tate would see through it so clear
“You murderer! Give me back my husband's life!” The deceased's wife grabbed Ivy's shoulder, crying hysterically and screaming.Ironically, this slap woke Ivy up.Her gaze fell on the deceased's body, and her watery eyes deepened."Does the patient have a family history of hereditary diseases?""What?!" The patient's family member was initially stunned but quickly erupted in anger. "You killed my husband, and now you're slandering us? You heartless doctor! Do you know that our family of four relies on my husband working outside? What are you going to make us do now? How are we supposed to live?!"At this point, the woman suddenly fell to the ground, wailing incessantly.Ivy tried to calm herself."Dr. Roland, call the police."Regardless of how this situation would ultimately unfold, she had to take legal action. If it was her fault, she would take responsibility. If it wasn't her fault, she absolutely couldn't toler
Cato nodded. "Even if I've kept this medical incident from spreading through the media, Dr. Jones has already been taken to the police station. The patient's family is causing a scene. Soon, this scandal will be known to everyone, and Ivy's future will be ruined."Locking his gaze deeply onto Kevin, Cato continued, "Three years ago, that medical incident left Ivy devastated. If it weren't for Professor Smith, she might have disappeared from the medical field. Kevin, do you really love her? I heard you've rebelled against Bob Alter many times for her. I thought you loved her unconditionally. But now, I feel that you don't love her. Otherwise, you wouldn't help outsiders bully her.""Three years ago, you watched her being bullied, and three years later, you're going to watch her be framed again. Is this your evidence of love for her?""No, it's not!" Kevin covered his face. "I have always loved her. I don't know what happened today. I... I betrayed Ivy. I..."
"Dad!"Kevin didn't expect that his decision to take matters into his own hands would make his father so angry. He hurriedly tried to support him but was pushed away by Bob Alter ."Kick this unfilial son out. I don't want to see him! Process the paperwork immediately, revoke his position as the CEO, and let the vice president take over! During the time I'm in the hospital, Kevin is not allowed to enter the Alter Group!"He instructed the assistant, then his eyes went black, completely losing consciousness."Dad!" Kevin worriedly wanted to rush over, but the assistant intercepted him.The assistant also didn't expect that the heir he had devoted so much effort to nurture turned out to be a disappointment."Please restrain yourself, Young Master Alter. Chairman Alter really can't handle any more shocks!""Restrain?!" Kevin still didn't understand. "Why did Uncle Hector and Shred betray us? I'll go find them right away!"After thinking for a while, he turned and left.The assistant didn
Luke immediately picked up his phone to give instructions. Almost simultaneously, major news websites reported Ivy's incident, linking Tanya, Kevin, and Alter Group to the story."Alter Group Hires Hitman, Eager to Frame Conscientious Doctor--What's the Motive?"Shawn browsed through the news headlines, quite satisfied with this one."Mr. Tate, rest assured. The internet is flooded with sympathy for Dr. Jones and condemnation for Alter Group. I think this time, not only will Tanya completely lose her chance to be the rising star, but even Alter Group will face severe consequences."While reporting the progress, Luke received a call from Kevin.Kevin's usefulness had run out, and Shawn couldn't be bothered to deal with him. Luckily, he handed the phone to Luke to handle."Hello?" Luke answered the call, and Kevin immediately launched into a tirade."Shawn, you're untrustworthy!"His voice was loud, and his anger was palpable."Didn't you promise not to pursue this matter as long as I s
Although Dom was a straightforward workaholic, his intuition was quite accurate. Seeing that the atmosphere between Ivy and Shawn was off, he added, "Get a divorce!"Shawn: "..."Ivy didn't want to engage with someone so outspoken. She walked straight to Andy and asked softly, "Grandpa, how are you?"Andy snorted lightly. "It was fine just now, but now..." He sighed heavily, assessing them with his gaze. "Not great!"Ivy knew he was being ambiguous, so she chose to ignore it. "I'll go ask the doctor about postoperative care."With that, she turned and left.Andy was left speechless. He turned to Shawn and said, "If you have nothing to do, go to work. Are you idle all day?"He hoped Shawn would leave soon so he could gossip with Ivy when she returned. He really wanted to know how this rational couple ended up quarreling.But Shawn, that stubborn guy, not only didn't move but also began acting cute, saying, "Grandpa, your health is the most important. Work can wait a bit."His blackened
