The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 229


    Everyone instantly looked toward Cheryl Coney and Alex Rockefeller.


    As a doctor of the hospital and head of wards, they knew who Cheryl was. As for the man beside her,


    however…


    “I don’t think I have seen this doctor before. Have you?”


    “No, is he new here?”


    Of course, with Cheryl being James Coney’s granddaughter, she wasn’t worried at all that Alex’s


    identity would be exposed.


    Nevertheless, rence Fawl looked at Alex with an unfriendly gaze. “I suppose you know something,


    my friend? Can you tell us what it was, and perhaps introduce yourself?”


    Alex shook his head. “I have not seen the patients, so I have noments.”


    “Since you have not seen them, I wonder why you’ve been allowed to attend the meeting? This is an


    emergency meeting, and we do not want any distractions,” said rence with feigned surprise.


    Meanwhile, assistant director Rashford went right up to Alex’s face and stared him down. “Who are


    you? Do you work here?”


    “No, I do not,” Alex answered.


    “Well then, how did you get in here? Oh, I know! You’re trying to win Doctor Coney’s affection, right?


    The audacity of youngsters these days scares me. Anyway, get out!”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Everyone else in the meeting had a weird expression on their face as the corner of their mouths


    twitched.


    With a flushed expression, Cheryl got up on her feet instantly. “Assistant Director Rashford, I brought


    him in to help us with the discussion of the treatment.”


    “Oh?” Marcus was taken aback by surprise. He knew that James was Cheryl’s grandfather and wanted


    to let the whole issue slide.


    rence, however, did not. “I see. Then you must be an excellent doctor! May I know where you ply


    your trade?”


    Obviously, the nature of his question was out of malice. It was an effective tactic, though, putting Alex


    under the spotlight and inciting the people to criticize him.


    Just as Cheryl was trying toe up with an excuse, Alex said, “I do not work in a hospital.”


    He thought better of lying.


    “Are you a medical researcher then?”


    “No, I am not”


    “Or perhaps a professor, or even just a top student in medical school?”


    “No.”


    Cheryl was anxious. She tugged on Alex’s shirt, motioning him to stop talking and to let her handle the


    interaction.


    That, however, only served to deepen rence’s jealousy.


    He had always liked Cheryl and had his attention on her for quite a while now, his efforts all this while


    was so that he could finally attract her attention. Perhaps she would reciprocate his feelings if she saw


    how sessful he’d be.


    Yet, she’d rather whisper in somebody else’s ear.


    “My good sir, are you a conman?” The smile on rence‘s face vanished as arrogance and extreme


    disdain crept into his eyes. “You think you are a millionaire just by wearing a Patek Phillipe on your


    wrist? Cheryl, you are too innocent, be careful not to fall into his trap!”
