chapter 3 Sorry, I can't help

People looked at Michael blankly.
This comment silenced the room.
Was he cursing the old madam to death?
Was he crazy?
"Michael! What nonsense are you talking about here? Do you have the right to speak?" A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses took the lead in scolding.
This was the old madam's third son, named Christopher Scarlett. He was one of the vice directors of the Scarlett family's Aprox Group and was responsible for the family's clothing industry.
Although the Scarlett family's industry was not large in Josebatt City, it had a wide range of interests. In addition to real estate, it also managed the catering and clothing business.
However, although Christopher was the deputy director, he had fame but no power. All the power of the Scarlett family was in the hands of the old madam, and the rest of them had only temporary positions.
"Michael, are you cursing grandma? You bastard, are you tired of living?" A young man next to him who looked very similar to Christopher pointed at Michael's nose and cursed.
This man's name was Charlotte, and the young woman next to him was called Mia. They were Christopher's children.
When Charlotte finished speaking, Mia also chuckled, "Michael, I know grandma has never liked you, but that's because you failed our Scarlett family, but no matter what happens, you can't curse grandma to death! "
"Agreed!"
"You also know acupuncture? Why are you pretending to be knowledgeable?"
"Michael, you are so vicious! Grandma treats you very well."
"Isabella, how do you manage your husband? Coming here to curse grandma?"
"Is your family going to rebel?"
The Scarlett family members all criticized, either scolding Michael or reprimanding Isabella.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm going to tell Michael to leave," Isabella quickly apologized.
The old madam was no longer happy either. Her face was cold and the smile was gone.
"Isabella, I've always liked you. If your grandfather hadn't insisted on having his way, with this loser's qualification, he dares to have the thought of marrying you?"
"Grandma, I'm sorry, this is my fault. I will teach Michael a lesson. I'm sorry, Grandma," Isabella said with her head lowered.
"But the old madam's condition is very perilous at present, I just..."
"Shut up!"
Michael wanted to say something more, but Isabella suddenly turned around and yelled at him.
Michael was slightly startled.
But Isabella's eyes filled with tears and eyes reddening, staring at him angrily.
The depths of those eyes filled with helplessness and pain.
"You get lost! Get out of here now!"
Isabella pointed to the door and shouted hysterically again.
Michael sighed, shook his head, and walked out of the ward.
The relatives of the Scarlett family either sneered or showed contempt, and were not surprised by the result.
"Isabella, you are too kind!" The Old Madam shook her head, but her tone was a bit mean, "Actually, I have been thinking about your problem these days, girl. It's not that grandma has any prejudice against you but this kind of personality of yours is easy for others to cheat you. After thinking about it for a long time, I think you should let someone else take your financial position. You can work in our sales department. Don't worry, the salary will not be less than what is yours previously. It will be whatever you deserve."
"Grandma, I..." Isabella was shocked and tried to answer hastily.
However, before she could finish her words, the old madam interrupted her again.
"Isabella, I know what you are going to say, and I also know that you will definitely be unhappy, but I have thought about this for a long time. Financial matters are not trivial. You are still young and inexperienced, so I plans to leave it to your Uncle Christopher. You've experienced it yourself, you can't even control a loser, let alone others. Our Scarlett family is going to fight for a big project recently, and we must be strict with our finances. If anything goes wrong at this time because of Michael, it will affect our entire Scarlett family, so Isabella, please let go of it first, and when this project is over, Grandma will let you continue to manage the finances! Be obedient!"
The old madam said lightly, without much expression on her face.
Isabella looked stunned. After a moment, she sighed and whispered, "Okay, grandma."
Only then did she realize that Michael was just an excuse.
The old madam intended to let her hand over the financial aspect.
Isabella could guess that it was Christopher who was fanning the flames beside old madam's ears.
Although Isabella was very capable, and the Scarlett family's corporate finances had never had any problems over the years, the old madam liked to use her relatives rather than talented people. In the eyes of the old madam, Isabella was a married granddaughter, how can she compare with her son?
"Let's handle the handover tomorrow. Isabella, you go back first. The sales department has recently received a few orders. You should quickly get familiar with them, Christopher!"
"Mom, I'm here," Christopher hurriedly stepped forward.
"You are the deputy director and oversee the finances too. Can you handle it?" The Old Madam asked kindly.
"Don't worry, Mom, even if I'm too busy, I still have Charlotte. Charlotte is a bona fide postgraduate student in economics and management. As long as he helps me, you can take care of your health with peace of mind!" Christopher said with a smile.
"Yes, Grandma, just rest assured. I will report to you every week on the company's affairs." Charlotte also stepped forward to express his position.
"Okay, okay, with you here, I will feel at ease." The old madam smiled like a flower.
Everyone in the Scarlett family was full of smiles.
But Isabella was listless.
She worked hard for so long, but all her work was taken over by Christopher's family, which in turn would make anyone feel uncomfortable.
Asshole!
It's all caused by Michael!
Isabella clenched her hands tightly and gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear Michael into pieces.
"Grandma, if that's the case, I'll go back first." Isabella suppressed her anger and whispered.
"Go." The Old Madam raised her hand and waved nonchalantly, but her arm was shaking a little.
Isabella didn't pay attention and turned to leave.
But right at this time.
Poof!
The old Mrs. Scarlett who had just been fine tilted her neck suddenly and rolled off the bed, unconscious on the spot.
"Huh?"
The Scarlett family were all stunned.
Isabella, who had just walked out of the door, was also stunned.
"Mom!"
"Grandmother!!"
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
"Joseph! Quickly, Joseph! Look what's wrong with mom!"
"Don't worry, don't worry! Get mom on the bed quickly and pinch her philtrum!"
Joseph also panicked and shouted calmly, then hurriedly held old madam's wrist and took her pulse.
However, after a moment, Joseph's face became increasingly unpleasant.
"Joseph, what's wrong with mom?" Christopher asked hurriedly.
"Mom's pulse is very weak, she is about to die!" Joseph said blankly.
"What?"
The Scarlett family were all dumbfounded.
"Mom was so energetic and looked so good just now. Why is she dying all of a sudden?" Sophia said tremblingly.
"The old madam can't die now. The company is now under her control. If she dies suddenly, wouldn't our entire Aprox Group be in chaos?" Christopher's wife Amelia Zimmer also spoke up.
But having said that, these people truly hoped that the old madam would die soon. After all, once the old madam dies, they would be able to divide the Scarlett family's property.
But Joseph and Christopher were not too happy about it. Christopher had just taken charge of the finances and had a bright future. Joseph had spent so much to win the old madam's favor, how could he accept this situation?
Joseph pinched the needle again and pricked the old madam's temple and Fengchi's acupoint.
However, there was still no effect.
"Joseph, Mom's breathing is getting weaker and weaker. What's going on?" Christopher was anxious.
"Mom's condition is very strange, and the attack happened too suddenly. I can't diagnose her. Go outside and call the nurse. Invite Master Quinn from the hospital! Hurry!"Joseph said with his head full of sweat.
The situation was no longer under his control.
Daniel ran out immediately.
But after a while, he came back with a sad face, "Dad, Joseph, the nurse called, and Master Quinn is not in the hospital! He has gone on a medical visit!"
"What?" Joseph was dumbfounded.
"Joseph, why don't you call other doctors?"
"Even I can't figure out Mom's symptoms, so what's the use of other doctors coming? No one in the whole hospital can treat her except Master Quinn!" Joseph said dejectedly.
"Then is grandma going to..."
"Joseph, think of a solution quickly!"
"Transfer mom to the emergency room immediately! Rescue her first! I'll call the hospital authorities! There must be a solution, don't panic!"
Joseph trying to stay calm.
People nodded and immediately started to rush.
No one expected this sudden change.
Everything happened too fast!
Isabella stared blankly at the panicked Scarlett family, feeling at a loss for a moment.
Suddenly!
She thought of something and hurriedly took out her mobile phone from her bag and dialed the number.
"What's wrong?" Michael's voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Grandma is dying!" Isabella said tremblingly.
"I know." Michael's tone seemed calm.
"Did you expect this to happen? Is there anything you can do?"
"Yes, I have."
"Then why don't you come over quickly and save grandma?" Isabella shouted urgently.
However, there was silence on the other side of the phone for two or three seconds, and an indifferent voice sounded.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to!"
