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."
