Chapter 524

Ian frowned. “What?”

With that, Mrs. Hunt walked in and smiled. “Ian, I’m here today for the marriage between Justin and Miss Smith.”

Ian pursed his lips. “Mrs. Hunt, why would they be getting married?”

Mrs. Hunt smiled and looked down. She sat on the opposite side of the sofa and didn’t have the attitude to ask for Nora’s hand in marriage. Instead, she looked haughty and powerful. “Miss Smith has caused a lot of trouble and has gone to the Medical School to participate in a debate today. I hear that Doctor Zabe has sent his ablest disciple to the school. I’m afraid Miss Smith won’t get any good results this time.”

gⱯlnσν𝓮𝓁s․𝒸оm hosts thrilling adventures Hearing this, Ian and Joel looked at each other, their eyes full of concern.

Initially, the Smiths had planned to help with this matter. Ian and Joel had many plans to handle this matter.

However, when Nora found out, she just told the two not to worry. She had a way to keep them from interfering and ruining her plan. That’s why the two didn’t make a move.

On the one hand, they believed Nora had the ability to handle it.

On the other, they were still worried.

At Mrs. Hunt’s words, Joel said, “Are you sure Dr. Zabe’s last disciple has gone there? Is he…the one who treated someone’s pulse through a curtain?”

When Nora was young, she had gone to New York with Henry. Once she had gone to look up Dr. Zabe. Coincidentally, someone questioned the ability of Doctor Zabe’s latest disciple. So, Doctor Zabe let Nora take someone’s pulse through a curtain. Her medical skills instantly regained her fame.

So, for all these years, even though Nora had never traveled around New York, the fact that Doctor Zabe’s last disciple had good medical skills was recognized by the alternative medicine world!

When they heard that Doctor Zabe’s disciple would be going, Joel and Ian were concerned.

Mrs. Hunt smiled, “Yes, the same one! So I’m afraid Miss Smith is in trouble this time. I wonder if the Smiths have prepared any follow-up PR plans. We can’t let Miss Smith become a plague on the medical world, can we? Besides, I’ve heard that a lot of people at the school are proposing to remove her from her position as an external lecturer! If that happens… Will she really have to go into hiding overseas?”.

Mrs. Hunt’s words seemed to be full of concern for Nora, but every word seemed certain that Nora would not be able to pull through.

Ian frowned. “You don’t have to worry about this! After all, this is our family’s business!”.

Mrs. Hunt smiled. “Ian, this time I have a suggestion. I have a way to allow you to avoid this matter.”

Joel and Ian looked at each other again. They both thought it was impossible for this old hag to be so nice…..

Joel narrowed his eyes and asked in chagrin, “What way?”

Mrs. Hunt did not perceive his annoyance at all. She smiled. “If Miss Smith marries Justin, with the power of our families, we definitely won’t let her suffer in New York!”

Joel and Ian frowned.

Mrs. Hunt continued, “In the past, the two families had an engagement. Now that the two children like each other, our family will not forget to do justice when it comes to benefits. If we see that Miss Smith is in trouble, we will not do something like trying to cut our ties. So, once Miss Smith becomes Mrs. Hunt, even if she does something ridiculous, who in New York would dare to run in front of her and talk nonsense?”

She said, “This is a mutually beneficial thing. Ian, you won’t turn me down this time, will you?”

With that, she smiled at Ian. The wrinkles on her face were almost glued together. Ian scoffed. “Who said Nora would definitely lose, don’t you have any confidence in her?”

Mrs. Hunt said immediately, “It’s not that I don’t have confidence in her. It’s that I have too much confidence in Doctor Zabe’s latest disciple. We don’t care about alternative medicine or modern medicine. As long as she can treat diseases, she will be a good doctor. But do you know that Doctor Zabe’s last disciple managed to create the Zabe Corporation’s Soothing Pill?”

At the mention of this, Ian and Joel’s expressions turned a little ugly.

Yvonne had spent a lot of money to buy the pill, but she hadn’t given it to Ian, who needed it more. Instead, she had given it to Mrs. Hunt to curry favor with her.

At that point, Joel became angry.

Later, when something happened to Ian at the Hunt’s house, he had used that pill…. It was as if the Smiths’ gift had been taken back!

Speaking of which, the Smiths were indebted to Mrs. Hunt for this matter.

Joel looked down. Just as he was about to say that he would again pay a high price to buy the Zabe Corporation’s Soothing Pill, he heard Mrs. Hunt continue, “That pill is a priceless treasure. As for that pill, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that it can bring the dead back to life. However, at the critical moment, it is still useful in saving lives! Not to mention that Ian used this pill to extend his life at that time, later, when I went back to my mother’s house, my sister-in-law suddenly had a brain hemorrhage. At that time, the family doctor said there was no hope. However, I took out that pill and gave it to her. Even when they sent her to the hospital, she was still breathing and had recovered.”

Mrs. Hunt was full of praise as she said, “So I don’t have to say much about the effects of the Zabe Corporation’s Soothing Pill, do I? And how skilled must the person who can make it be? He must have mastered alternative medicine by now! In that case, he can be considered my sister-in-law’s savior! How much chance does Nora have of winning against him?”

When Ian and Joel heard this, they felt even more insecure.

In reality, if Nora won this debate, people would say at best that she was young and flighty. She had great skill and it was undeniable, so it would be okay.

The worst outcome was that she would be mocked if she lost. If Doctor Zabe’s disciple actually arrived, would Nora lose? As the two pondered the outcome, the butler at the door spoke again. “Sir, the Andersons are here.”

The Andersons?

Ian was quick to say, “Please come in!”.

With that, Simon and Melissa quickly entered. The moment they entered, Simon looked around and asked anxiously, “Where’s Nora?”

Before Ian could speak, Mrs. Hunt said, “You’ve heard about Miss Smith too, so you’re anxious, aren’t you? She hasn’t returned yet! She must have lost the competition and must have her image destroyed…”

Simon was surprised to hear this. “She lost the competition? How could she have lost? Sheril just called to tell us about the competition. She didn’t lose.”

Mrs. Hunt said confidently, “How is that possible? I received word that Dr. Zabe’s last disciple has gone to participate. How could Miss Smith win?”

Simon looked at her and said with a strange expression, “Don’t you know who Doctor Zabe’s last disciple is?”.

She was surprised to hear the news and had come for confirmation!

Mrs. Hunt scoffed. “It doesn’t matter who it is. Even if it’s the Hunts or the Andersons, not helping Nora in this matter? After all, this is a conflict between alternative and modern medicine! Unless… Miss Smith is that last disciple, this will not end well!”
