Chapter 3 Willa's Triumph

  • "It's really her!"
  • Willa exclaimed, her jaw dropping in astonishment.
  • "That sc*mbag Tyler must have gotten incredibly lucky to win the favor of a woman like that!"
  • Her words seemed to snap Clarissa out of her daze.
  • Clarissa's tense expression eased.
  • "I know Tyler's capabilities well. There's no way he could've connected with someone from such a wealthy family unless he's lying."
  • "A liar?"
  • Willa's eyes lit up.
  • "You're right! Tyler has always been a fraud."
  • "We've known him for quite a while, and we've never seen him perform any medical skills. But just now, Ms. Middleton said she invited him to treat someone."
  • It was as if she had uncovered a shocking secret, instantly transforming into a self-proclaimed truth-seeker.
  • "Let's go! We'll follow him and expose his lies.
  • "If we can win Ms. Middleton's favor because of this, the Prestons will soar!"
  • ...
  • Meanwhile, Tyler followed Mona straight to the special care ward.
  • As the door opened, a heated discussion spilt into the hallway.
  • "Traditional medicine won't work. Those herbs and leaves can't possibly cure Madam Hoffman's illness."
  • "Oh, so modern medicine can? Then why has her condition only gotten worse under your care?"
  • "That's because our lab results and bacterial cultures aren't in yet. Once we have those, she'll be cured in no time."
  • "Nonsense! You've been treating her for three months with no results, and now Madam Hoffman is on her last breath!"
  • Tyler realized that this ward had two rooms.
  • The elderly lady lay in the inner room while the outer room was filled with doctors arguing.
  • As expected, traditional and modern medicine practitioners were at odds again.
  • Just as Tyler was about to speak, a middle-aged modern doctor in his forties stepped forward.
  • "Ms. Middleton, does the reward your family offered still stand?"
  • Mona's expression immediately turned icy.
  • "Are you questioning the credibility of the Middletons?"
  • The doctor quickly apologized, but a smug smile crept across his face.
  • At that moment, an elderly traditional medicine practitioner stepped forward and rebuked him.
  • "Dr. Alex, you've got no shame! Your son is about the same age as Ms. Middleton, and yet you still want to marry her?"
  • "Who are you calling shameless?" Dr. Alex retorted.
  • "You're old enough to be her grandfather, yet you're still drooling over her beauty!"
  • Just as the two were about to start bickering again, Mona's voice rang out sharply.
  • "Enough! Everyone be quiet!
  • "I've already brought back a divine doctor.
  • "You can all leave now!"
  • What!?
  • In an instant, dozens of eyes turned toward her and Tyler.
  • "Ms. Middleton, you must be joking. Him? Is he capable of curing Madam Hoffman?"
  • "He's just a whippersnapper, barely out of diapers. Even if he'd been cramming medical textbooks since the cradle, there's no way he's more skilled than us seasoned professionals."
  • "Kid, if you know what's good for you, leave now and don't waste our time."
  • Tyler ignored their arrogance and simply turned to Mona.
  • "Should I leave?"
  • Mona's face turned frosty.
  • Her father had gone to great lengths to hire this divine doctor. How could she let a few arrogant fools drive him away?
  • "You are all respected figures in the medical field. Don't disgrace yourselves."
  • The crowd instantly quieted down, sensing her genuine anger.
  • Before they could respond, two women burst into the room.
  • "Don't be fooled! He's a fraud. He doesn't know anything about medicine!"
  • Willa stormed in, grabbing Tyler and unleashing a torrent of ridicule.
  • "This man, Tyler Glisson!
  • "He's the son-in-law of the Prestons.
  • "He's been freeloading off us for three years, doing nothing but laundry and cooking. There's no way he knows any medical skills.
  • "If you let him treat Madam Hoffman, it's murder!
  • "Ms. Middleton, please open your eyes and see the truth."
  • Her words sent shockwaves through the room.
  • The doctors, who were already displeased with Tyler's presence, now had the perfect opportunity to strike back.
  • "Kid, so you were pretending all along, trying to deceive Ms. Middleton!"
  • "This man's a fraud. We should turn him over to the authorities."
  • "Practicing medicine without a license and endangering lives, huh? He deserves life in prison!"
  • With the crowd now siding with her, Willa puffed up with pride.
  • "Tyler, do you see now? You think you can challenge me, huh?" Willa gloated, her voice dripping with satisfaction.
  • "Bow to me and admit your mistake, and maybe I'll ask Ms. Middleton to show you mercy.
  • "Otherwise, you'll be ruined for life by charges of fraud."
  • She then pulled Clarissa along, proudly strutting over to Mona.
  • "Ms. Middleton, this is my daughter, Clarissa.
  • "We're in the construction business, and we'd love to work with you."
  • Her blatant attempt at ingratiation stunned everyone present.
  • Who was this shameless woman, daring to curry favor with Ms. Middleton so openly?
  • Mona's expression turned glacial, her powerful aura sweeping through the room like a chilling wind.
  • "Security, get them out of here!"
  • The bodyguards marched in, and Willa laughed triumphantly.
  • "Tyler, do you see? Ms. Middleton is having you thrown out!
  • "If you bow and beg me now, I might say a few kind words on your behalf."
