by Steven 09:08,Dec 18,2023


The farce ended. In just half a day, the media in the East China Sea frantically hyped up the scandal between the two families.

the Hulburd family and the Ares family had lost face. Instead of allowing the stock market to turn around, it actually started to trend downward.

The old Madam the Hulburd family was so ashamed and angry that she suffered a stroke and fell on the bed, dying.

the Hulburd family was in chaos.

In the old Madam's villa, Diana pulled her sister-in-law Maria Piper's hair, fought with her, and cursed angrily, "You bastard, you raised such a good girl! At such a young age, you actually learned to compete with your cousin for men. ah!"

Husband Stratlan Hulburd and brother Playne Hulburd were pulling at the side, and it took a lot of effort to separate them.

Not to be outdone, Maria Piper said, "Your own daughter is incompetent and can't stand a man. How can you blame someone else? You are a bastard, so if you want to blame that Kevin Ares, he is the one who harmed us, and so is our Allison." victim!"

Allison Hulburd folded her arms, sat on the sofa and pretended to be the victim, crying like pear blossoms and rain.

Playne Hulburd , the Einar , said, "Sister-in-law, Maria is right, it is Kevin Ares who wants to compete for our family's shares. Our Allison is young, so he was deceived. If you keep pestering like this, you can only let outsiders continue to watch. joke."

His son Yohanes Hulburd supported from behind, "Yes! Auntie. Now that the old Madam is sick and her life and death are uncertain, it is the time when we need to unite. If you cause the old Madam to die, it will be a big sin!" "

"It's our fault now?"

Diana was so rebuffed by them that she didn't know how to reply, so she looked at her husband for help.

Stratlan Hulburd was an honest man. Not only did he not help her, he instead spoke to Einar, "Guohao is right, our mother's illness is more important. Let's wait until she recovers."

"You are a coward!"

Diana cursed angrily, already used to her husband's cowardice.

At this time, two doctors, one old and one young, came out of the house.

The old man was wearing a Tang suit, with a white beard and a calm expression.

The younger one is a half-grown girl, wearing a white T-shirt and denim shorts, with a mushroom hairstyle on her head.

There is a bit of arrogance that cannot be concealed in her cuteness.

A group of relatives immediately gathered around and asked anxiously, "old Cook, how is the old Madam's condition?"

Arman Cook shook his head and sighed, "It's not optimistic! But I have used acupuncture to stabilize the old Madam's breathing. Whether she can survive this or not depends entirely on her luck."

"What?"

"so serious?"

"The company's major events have not yet been decided. Why did the old Madam become like this?"

Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but think about the aftermath!

Playne Hulburd , the Einar , took advantage of the situation and said, "Dear shareholders, although the old Madam is ill, the company cannot fail. According to the old Madam's wish, my son Yohanes Hulburd will assume the position of president and temporarily take charge of the Lin Group. Today we are here Let’s have a short meeting here to finalize this matter!”

Yohanes Hulburd straightened his suit, held his head high, and echoed, "Yes, the company cannot be left without an owner for a day. As the grandson of the Hulburd family son, I will take over the company sooner or later. Please also ask your uncles to nominate me as the president. I will definitely lead The Lin Group is moving towards glory."

The shareholders looked at each other, but before they started discussing, Diana shouted, "Yohanes Hulburd, what are you dreaming about? The old Madam said before that whoever can help the company solve the financial turnover problem will be the president. You help Has the company solved the problem?”

Yohanes Hulburd said disdainfully, "Auntie, this happened suddenly. Do we have any other choice besides me?"

Diana said, "Of course, can't my daughter be the president? In the past two years, she has grown into the manager of the project department and has been deeply cultivated by the old Madam. This time, it is for the marriage between the Hulburd family and the Ares family. The old Madam personally Promise me that when things are done, you will let Willowen be the president."

Yohanes Hulburd mocked, "Auntie, is it done?"

Diana looked embarrassed and argued, "Then my daughter has also contributed to the company!"

Yohanes Hulburd rushed and said, "Okay, what a bullshit contribution. Because of this marriage, our Lin Group has become a joke now. Even if we don't hold your family accountable, do you still have the nerve to compete for this president? Auntie, It’s important for people to know themselves!”

"Can you blame us? It's not your sister's fault!"

Diana was so angry with him that she wanted to go up and tear his mouth open.

The shareholders discussed among themselves, "Yohanes is right, Willowen is a daughter's family after all. If the daughter throws water after she gets married, the Lin Group will still have to pass on to the men!"

"Yes, Willowen's face is ruined after all. The president represents the image of a company, and Willowen is not suitable."

"Yes! Willowen goes out to discuss business, she has to scare her customers to death!"

"Then let's just show our hands and vote?"

They looked at Playne Hulburd and nodded. They had already reached a private agreement with him, and today was just a formality.

Yohanes Hulburd clasped his hands behind his back, staring at Diana and raising his head proudly, as if he was confident of winning.

At this time, someone outside the door suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

Everyone in the room immediately became quiet and looked back, only to see Willowen Hulburd walking in quickly with a young man.

Diana's expression suddenly changed. This man was exactly the poor guy who appeared in the hotel today.

She didn't expect that her daughter would actually bring him home?

Yohanes Hulburd stared at Shawn Parisch and looked him up and down. Seeing his shabby clothes, a trace of contempt appeared on his face.

He scolded Willowen Hulburd, "Cousin, why did you bring an outsider here?"

Willowen Hulburd said, "He is not an outsider, he is a doctor. I brought him here to treat grandma."

"doctor?"

Yohanes Hulburd laughed disdainfully and said, "Did you find the doctor from the migrant market?"

Willowen Hulburd said with a cold eyebrow, "Cousin, be careful what you say."

Yohanes Hulburd snorted and said, "What, you have become more capable? If you want to show off, you have to be willing to spend some money? Look at the doctor I found for the old Madam. He is the president of our Donghai City Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, Dr. Arman Cook.. Dare I ask my cousin, what is the title of the doctor you hired? Where did he learn medical skills? Where does he work? "

Willowen Hulburd was speechless for a moment and glanced at Arman Cook.

The old man sat aside with his granddaughter, not interested in getting involved in the Hulburd family's affairs.

Shawn Parisch said generously, "I just came back from abroad and I don't have a job yet. I am a Chinese medicine practitioner and I don't have any title."

Yohanes Hulburd laughed mockingly, "Then you are a charlatan?"

Shawn Parisch said calmly, "You can say that. However, whether it is a famous doctor or a great figure in the world, the key is not to treat the disease well?"

Good temper!

Arman Cook glanced at Shawn Parisch with interest.

When I heard that he was studying Chinese medicine, I immediately became interested.

His granddaughter Felicia Cook pouted proudly and asked Shawn Parisch, "You mean, you can cure the disease?"

"piece of cake!"

Shawn Parisch nodded.

Felicia Cook sneered, "You are a charlatan. You didn't even see the doctor. How do you know it's a minor problem? Do you know that even my grandfather is helpless to solve such a minor problem?"

Shawn Parisch said calmly, "Just because your grandfather can't treat the disease doesn't mean that I can't treat it well."

"You have such a loud voice!"

Felicia Cook stood up abruptly and shouted angrily, "No doctor has ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of my grandfather. Who do you think you are, dare to grandstand here?"

Shawn Parisch still said calmly, "Whether it's sensational or not, you'll know once you try it. I can guarantee that the old Madam can be revived immediately, and even her paralyzed legs can be stood up again."

"Are you still excited?"

Felicia Cook said with disdain, "You say such big words, do you believe it?"

Shawn Parisch chuckled and said, "This young lady looks down on me, a local man, so much. Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"What bet?"

Felicia Cook looked fearless.

Shawn Parisch said, "If I help the old Madam cure her illness, you will be my maid for three years. You will wash and cook by my side, and serve tea and water."

"good!"

Felicia Cook agreed without thinking, "But if you can't be cured, then kneel down and be my slave for three years!"

"make a deal!"

Shawn Parisch raised the corners of his mouth and had already arranged a maid outfit for Felicia Cook in his mind.

The waist is thin, the hips are curved, and the frame is small.

Young, cute, and loli-looking.

Wearing a black maid outfit with two ponytails and white stockings suits her best!
