Chapter 136


    "So what you are saying is, I have to owe Mr. Muller a favor because of you?" Hebert half-squinted as


    he coldly looked at Tessa.


    Tessa felt her heart skip a beat as a feeling of dread washed over her. Still, for her own sake, she could


    only bite the bullet. "Dear, we can just offer him money. I had Miss Cornell checked. Her family''s


    company hadn''t been doing too well. As long as we show our sincerity, she—"


    "Since you had her checked," Hebert interrupted, "and probably went to find her, did she say she will


    help you?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze only getting colder.


    Tessa didn''t utter another word after that as she lowered her head and quietly cursed Katherine out.


    She wouldn''t have had to embarrass herself so much in front of Hebert if it wasn''t because Katherine''s


    refusal to save her.


    "I—" She soon parted her lips to exin, but she was cut off by Hebert once again.


    "Enough. You don''t have to say another word. I am tired." After he threw that out, he immediatelyy in


    bed as a means to send her away.


    Even though Tessa was upset about his reaction, she didn''t dare lose her temper at Hebert. All she


    could do was swallow her emotions and leave the hospital with London, feeling disheartened.


    Seeing the depressed look on Tessa''s face, London couldn''t help but suggest in a low voice, "Why do


    we have to beg her, Mom? Katherine Cornwell definitely has a reputation since she is so powerful. She


    must be someone of importance if even Mr. Muller thinks so highly of her. At this age and time, there


    aren''t a lot of women who are influential. As long as we expose her, she will naturally be in trouble even


    without us causing a fuss. And I really don’t think she can cure cancer. Is she even capable of doing


    that?”


    "Are you sure? Can we really do this? I…" Tessa still felt uneasy.


    "Don''t worry, Mom. There won''t be any problem. You should go to the hospital for proper treatment


    now. It is more important to keep you alive. We will bait her out with public opinion, and when that time


    comes, we will bring the media along to have her save you. She will be deemed as an hical doctor


    if she refuses. I want to make it impossible for her to continue on in the medical field in the future,"


    London sneered as her eyes turned cold. She truly had murderous intentions toward Katherine.


    Thinking that this was a good idea, Tessa could only nod in agreement.


    None of the better hospitals in Hovington wanted to take Tessa as their patient. Left with no other


    choice, she could only return to Kynd with London.


    Katherine, on the other hand, still didn''t have the faintest idea that someone had their eyes set in her.


    After she tried on her wedding dress, she went home and took a hot bath before she had a restful


    sleep.


    She was woken up by the sound of her phone the next morning.


    Her face immediately fell when she saw the caller ID. "Yeah?" she curtly mumbled.


    Aberama was taken aback by her tone, but he soon understood that she was in a bad mood after being


    woken up by someone. After letting out a chuckle, he went straight to the point. "Someone leaked your


    information. A lot of people probably already found out that you are currently in Hovington."


    "What?" Still groggy, Katherine didn''t immediately understand what Aberama meant by that.


    As Aberama didn''t know where to start exining, he swiftly sent Katherine a link. "Go ahead and


    check it out online."


    Hearing that, she casually clicked into the link and took a look at the webpage. Her eyes soon drifted to


    a topment below that had numerous likes.


    The corners of her mouth immediately curled into a smile. As she scrolled through her phone, she told


    Aberama, "Can you help me check who is in Hovington now?"


    "There are representatives from several foreign research institutes. There will also be a few well-known


    mercenaries who will being to Hovington today. It is probably going to get rowdy in the city very


    soon," Aberama replied solemnly.


    "Got it." She then swiftly hung up the call.


    The man was momentarily stunned. Looking at his screen, he thought about something, and eventually


    clicked into the link he sent her.


    However, it was only a second after he clicked into the page when his screen turned ck.


    Lips pursed, Aberama was rendered speechless.


    Not only did Katherine hack into Twitter, she had also hacked everyone who joined in on this


    conversation!


    At the same time, countless people who were surfing the Inte with their phones found out that there


    was a problem with their phones at the same time. They were just enjoying themselves by feeding off


    of the gossip when their screen turned dark, and their phones couldn''t be turned on from that point on.


    Katherine then threw her phone on the bed and was about to take a shower when the phone rang


    again.


    Irritated, she raised a hand to massage her temples and suppressed the bubbling rage. However, the


    look on her face immediately turned solemn when she saw the name on the screen of her phone. She


    quickly epted the call and obediently answered, as if she wasn''t in a foul mood earlier. "Hello?


    Grandma? What has got you calling me at this hour?"


    "Kathy! I have just arrived at Hovington. Send me your address. I will be heading over to your ce."


    Jennifer''s gentle voice, along with the backgroundmotion at the airport, came from the other end


    of the call.


    "You are back in Hovington?" Katherine''s expression changed suddenly.


    "Yes? Weren''t you the one who wanted me back? You silly goose, didn''t you want me back because


    you will be having your wedding soon?"


    Katherine''s heart was thumping hard with unease when she heard Jennifer''s words. "Stay right there


    then, Grandma. I am on my way. Wait for me right there."


    She then hung up before Jennifer could reply.


    Jennifer looked at her phone and chuckled to herself. "She is always so impatient."


    After saying that, she looked around and was about to find a seat when two men in ck walked over


    quickly and stood in front of her. "Ma''am, we are here under Miss Cornell''s instruction to bring you to


    the hotel. Please,e with us."


    Jennifer only looked at the two people in front of her suspiciously. Katherine wasn''t the type of person


    who did things irresponsibly. If they really were here under her arrangement, she would have said it on


    the phone earlier.


    Thinking about Katherine''s tone just now, Jennifer had a hunch that something was going on. She had


    a feeling that these two men were Katherine''s enemies, and they were trying to use her to threaten


    Katherine.


    Like a harmless elderly, she smiled and looked at them as she spoke in a hoarse and kind voice. "Oh,


    Kathy asked you toe pick me up? Wait a moment, please. I will need to stop by the bathroom. By


    the way, if I may ask, where exactly is the washroom?"


    The two looked at each other, obviously impatient. However, they still held their emotions in as they


    tried their best to look amiable when they thought about ''the man''s'' instruction. "Ma''am, let me carry the


    luggage for you. The washroom is over there. Let me take you there."


    She only smilingly nodded before she followed the men.


    After they led her to the entrance of the washroom, they held onto her luggage and watched her enter,


    and they stood guard outside while they asionally chit-chatted.


    Jennifer showed no signs of panicking when she entered. Slowly, she took out her phone and made a


    call. "Deon, dear, I need you to help me with something."Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
