Chapter 921
Meanwhile, in Jadeborough, Daniel was dining with Wendy and Cecilia when Brandon’s call came in.
The moment he heard the report, Daniel’s expression changed drastically. “What? Vinson had the cheek to go straight to Luke? Did he say anything to you or Trevor?”
Brandon replied, “No, not at all… After turning me down at the airport, he left to meet Luke to sign the contract. But don’t worry. I’ve ensured that Mr. Larson is on our side. He’ll do everything in his power to help us thwart Nightshire Group’s development plans in Horington. As long as Vinson fails to deliver on the project in Zaprington, he can forget about expanding his business to Horington.”
Upon hearing that, Daniel felt a little more at ease.
“Okay. Continue to keep an eye on Vinson and keep me updated on his every move.”
“Got it!”
As the call ended, doubt once again clouded Daniel’s face.
Is Vinson truly this fearless, or is he just a fool? Our family would have been a formidable backup for him, yet he cast us aside in favor of Luke Yeager. Why would he team up with the very person that we loathe?
Noticing the change in Daniel’s expression, Cecilia couldn’t help but feel a tinge of worry. “You don’t look
too good. Did something happen? What has Vinson done now?”
Daniel let out a deep sigh before repeating what Brandon had told him earlier.
Cecilia said through gritted teeth, “How dare he… Vinson’s set on going against us, isn’t he?”
Now, it was Wendy’s turn to feel apprehensive.
With a trembling voice, she muttered, “Dad, do you think Vinson has found out about what we did to Arielle?
Daniel replied while shaking his head, “That’s impossible. I sent mercenaries after her. They wouldn’t have leaked any information about me to that b*tch, so there’s no way for her to trace them back to us.”
“Then why would Vinson…”
Daniel interrupted with a derisive snort, “Because he’s a hot-tempered fellow who can’t stand his ego getting hurt. We might have come on too strong, so let’s shift our focus to Susanne. Do your best on Monday. We can take things slow with regards to Horington…”
If everything had gone as planned with Trevor delaying Vinson’s efforts, Vinson should’ve backed down by now. The fact that he didn’t was entirely out of Daniel’s expectations.
Despite that, Daniel soon got over his initial worries.
After all, as long as Trevor held his ground, it’d only be a matter of time before Vinson returned to the Greenes for help
That’s right. There’s no need to rush. Slow and steady wins the race, and our family will be the ones to persevere till the end!
Wendy, on the other hand, was plagued by a growing unease.
Having lost her appetite, she decided to skip the desserts and return to her room to study.
No matter what, Wendy was determined to get into Maxwell University. Everyone knew that those who graduated from there were the cream of the crop, so even if Vinson didn’t want her, Susanne wouldn’t brush her off.
That’s right. I have to work even harder!
With her motivation renewed, Wendy hit the books as she forced herself to prepare for Maxwell University’s early admission examination.
Meanwhile, in the emergency room in Rocher Private Hospital, Arielle handed a blood-stained scalpel to the lead surgeon.
“I’ll let you wrap things up here. I’m going to take a rest first,” she said wearily.
“Of course, go ahead!” the surgeon exclaimed as he
gazed at Arielle in awe.
The surgery had been one of the most dangerous and complicated procedures ever encountered, yet Arielle had handled it with such skill and efficiency.
Once she was out of sight, the assistant surgeon hurriedly asked, “Is it done? Is the patient fine now?”
The lead surgeon nodded, still impressed with what Arielle had done. “Other than having to rest in bed, everything else will be back to normal for him in less than three days.”
“Oh, my goodness… She’s a miracle doctor.”
“Yes, she’s the miracle doctor with the healing touch.”
