Chapter 494



“What?”

As if he was stunned, and also as if he hadn’t heard Jon clearly, Silvester’s voice instantly rose. Jon hastened to explain cautiously, “It’s the daughter the Smiths just recognized. Her name is Nora Smith. I hear she’s also Justin Hunt’s fiancée? Oh, she also has another important identity, Anti the internationally famous surgeon. She is much admired as Anti. I think the young lady has become quite conceited after being praised a bit, so she thinks she is now invincible in the medical field.”

Jon eyed Silvester warily at this point.

Truth be told, he felt a little unsure about it.

Since Yvonne had been able to buy the Zabe Corporation’s Soothing Pill from Silvester, it showed that Silvester was indeed in contact with the Smiths.

In particular, when Nora had come to borrow the books just now, she had actually managed to do so….

This showed that Silvester was also unwilling to offend the Smiths and the Hunts, didn’t it?

With this in mind, he coughed and said, “Mr. Zabe, after some thought…. Given her condition, it’s not a good idea to offend her-especially when she has the Smiths and the Hunts supporting her-but considering the positions we occupy in the circle, there are certain things we must do! We can’t chicken out and put aside our beliefs just because of their status. So, I was wondering, how about you lead the way and we’re going to teach you a lesson?”

Silvester frowned and looked at him with a complicated look. “Did you just say that Nora Smith said that alternative medicine is inferior to modern medicine?”

Jon nodded hastily. “Yes, she said it in front of all the nurses at the hospital. Elaine Miller heard her. She’s the one who told us the story due to the fact that she couldn’t take it anymore. All the other nurses have been bribed by the Hunts and the Smiths, so none of them dare make mention of it.”

That was what Elaine said.

As to whether they had actually bribed the nurses or not, Jon didn’t care at all.

He just wanted to ruin Nora.

Unexpectedly, when he said that, Silvester suddenly scoffed and said, “That’s impossible.”

Jon was taken aback. “Why wouldn’t it be possible, Mr. Zabe? The news of what you did has already spread. Despite the terrible impact the incident has caused, she brazenly came to visit him. Surely she didn’t come to give you a warning, did she?”

He had deliberately chosen the word ‘warning’. Given Silvester’s status, doing something like that would be too much.

However, Silvester was not at all enraged. Instead, he looked straight at Jon and said, “Jon, I’m already over ninety years old. These tricks of yours are too childish in my eyes.”

Jon: “…”

Silvester shook his head and said, “Originally, I was thinking of recommending you to fill my position as president of the Alternative Medicine Association. After all, that lazy disciple of mine doesn’t like to bother with such things. Although I don’t like you, you are knowledgeable enough and you also have the means. Besides, your attitude towards Alternative Medicine is still considered somewhat pure…. But I didn’t expect that now that you’ve come of age, you’ve instead lost the ability to see things right. Forget it, I’d better choose someone else for the position.”

He pointed directly at the door and said, “Goodbye!”.

His firm, determined tone made Jon stand stunned and frozen in place.

He couldn’t even understand what was happening. “Doctor Zabe, what I said is true, how can you not believe me, you are full of hostility towards alternative medicine!”

“Hah, even if you claim that everyone is full of hostility towards alternative medicine and despises alternative medicine, there’s no way she would do that!”

Silvester sounded very confident, which made Jon even more puzzled. “Is he so partial to her? Why, have the Smiths or the Hunts given her some kind of benefit? Doctor Zabe! What is he afraid of when he’s already so old? How can he give in to the allure of such worldly possessions?” Silvester was even more speechless upon hearing this.

He shot a glance at his son, then the latter immediately called the butler and had Jon expelled at once.

Jon was unceremoniously ejected from the Zabes!

When the door slammed shut, Jon was still standing, unable to react.

Why was Silvester so sure that Nora would never say such things?

Nora was Anti. As an internationally renowned surgeon, wasn’t it logical and reasonable that she would look down on alternative medicine?

Nora should have given him plenty of money by now!

This was unacceptable! To think that even Silvester had been bribed.

Were the alternative medicine practitioners of the country…really doomed to a fall?!

Nora was unaware of the events at the Zabes’ house. She had already returned home. With the stack of books in her arms, she climbed the stairs and entered the study.

After sitting down, she began to read and immersed herself in research.

He wanted to cure Quentin.

It wasn’t until a hand pushed away the book in front of her that she finally stopped. Nora frowned in displeasure, turned her head and reprimanded, “Cherry?”

Normally, Cherry was the only one who got into mischief while reading.

Unexpectedly, when she turned her head, she saw instead Cherry and Pete sitting on the couch next to her and looking at her with concern.

The person who had taken her book was actually …. Justin?

Nora’s brow instantly furrowed.

As soon as this expression of hers formed, Cherry immediately whispered to Pete, “I think Dad’s done for, Pete!”

“…Why is he finished?” asked Pete.

Cherry continued to whisper, “Mom is about to explode! She’s definitely going to kick Dad’s ass!”.

Pete: “…”

Nora: “…”

She touched her head awkwardly. Then, she looked at Justin… only to see that the man’s chiseled face actually looked a little…. expectant?

Uh… His eyes must be playing tricks on him.

He rubbed his temples and asked, “What time is it?”.

Justin: “It’s seven o’clock. You need to eat something and then wash up. It’s time for bed.”

Nora: “…”

She coughed, “It’s too early.”

Justin said, “You usually go to bed at this time. You can keep reading when you wake up tomorrow.”

Nora, however, tried to snatch the book from him. “I don’t have any appetite. Let me read for a couple more hours.”

But as soon as he reached out, the lithe man stepped back, Nora failed to take the book.

Justin raised his eyebrows and looked at her. “Go eat.”

Nora got up. Just as Cherry was worried that Mom was going to give Dad a big spanking, she instead unexpectedly saw Nora turn around and go downstairs. She was actually… Obeying to get something to eat?

Huh?

Had Mom changed?

When she came downstairs, Nora discovered that dinner that night was pasta.

After sitting down, she pulled out her phone. When she turned it on, she saw that several people had sent her messages.

One of them was a text message from the little psycho: [My little servant, are you ready for my challenge? I’m going to hire Q at a high price, do you think I’ll succeed].

A flash of light shone in Nora’s eyes as she took a bite of pasta. She replied: [No].

The little psychopath: [Hehe, then let’s have a competition!].

Nora typed slowly: [Why should I compete with you?].

The little psychopath bought it. She typed: [Then let’s make a bet. If I manage to get Q on my side, then you will become my little servant. If not, then I will answer one of your questions in return].

One question!

Nora’s lips curved upward. That was exactly what she wanted .
