Faced with Susan's suspicious look, Jason simply smiled and said, "Trust me. Just say that when we go to see Grandfather tomorrow. Leave the rest to me." "You should also prepare for the project presentation. Kevin Jackson will transfer the compensation money to your account." After hearing this, Susan's face twisted in bewilderment. She felt like something major had happened today - Kevin Jackson and those other people who showed up at the end didn't seem like good news. Could it really be smoothed over that easily? If so, it would be a relief. In the evening, figuring it was about time, Robert Brown called Kevin Jackson, but no one answered. He was taken aback for a moment before breaking into a wicked grin. It looked like Kevin wasn't finished yet - that petite Susan better not be wrecked too badly. He called Margaret as well, telling her it was just about done, that Susan was basically finished. Come tomorrow, it would be the day Susan's reputation went down in flames. Margar

"No big deal?"Susan froze, feeling a knot of frustration in her chest. Such a huge mistake, and all Robert would get is some reflection time? Destroying their own business yet no thought of punishment?Just the suspicion of her spending the night with someone had Grandfather so furious he looked ready to swallow her whole. Yet now with Robert Brown colluding with outsiders to harm her and sabotage their business, it was suddenly no big deal?Wouldn't this be humiliating for the Brown family if it got out? Robert was one of them, yet she and Jason weren't? Why was there such a vast difference in how they were treated?"Ahem...ahem..." Keith Brown gave a little cough, knowing it wouldn't look good to show such blatant favoritism. Though if not for the sake of the whole, he wouldn't have even bothered with the reflection.As far as he was concerned, it was resolved and best quickly swept under the rug. He truly didn't see it as a big issue.Seeing this, Susan pressed her lips tight, for

"The lack of blood circulation from being pressed down earlier is likely causing the patient's complexion. There's nothing to worry about."With that, he hastily began pressing on acupoints, demonstrating skilled and seasoned emergency procedures. But the elder's condition showed no sign of improving. Jason anxiously watched on the sidelines. Roger Cox's technique was decent and his emergency response would have sufficed under normal circumstances. However, his inexperience was evident. The medical knowledge he learned from his master was likely only superficial.Medicine was profoundly complex. Grasping but a fraction of it could already be deemed miraculous by laymen.Jason had wanted to step in and treat the patient directly, but his way was barred by the white-collar worker and several others. They seemed to be deliberately obstructing him to curry favor with Timothy Harris."You stay out of this, kid. I'm warning you - if anything happens to Old Mr. Harris, you'll have hell to p

Runhe Medicine Company was quite well-known in the other city. Its return to invest locally was big news. The chairman, Raymond Brown, had been an influential figure in his early years. But feeling overshadowed at home by his eldest brother Anthony Brown, and seeing little room for advancement, he took some capital and went to try his luck in another city. Turns out he really caught the right opportunity and single-handedly built up Runhe Medicine Company. Jason had met the man once or twice but didn't have a good impression. He always had an arrogant, domineering air. While there was no affection, Raymond was still one of the more capable members of the Brown family. His son, Alexander Brown, was also outstanding among the younger generation, at least better than Robert Brown.Returning this time, he was sure to flaunt his success. Compared to him, the James Brown family would be utterly ashamed at their miserable state, unable to match up in anything...In the evening when Jason

Hearing the grating laughter echoing through the grand hall, Susan, Mary and James' faces stiffened. Though they knew they shouldn't have come, they did not expect such humiliation. But had they not come, the Brown family might have used this as ammunition against them. How could their family withstand such underhanded tactics?Just then, a middle-aged man bearing resemblance to James Brown emerged with a glass of red wine, musing, "James, don't take Alexander's joking personally. Not everyone can be joking fodder.""That Alexander even brings you up shows he thinks highly of you. Not many useless fellows get mentioned by him at all.""Hahaha..."The crowd erupted in laughter again. Jason's eyebrow twitched. This was none other than Susan's uncle, the second son of the old master, Raymond Brown. Though his words seemed casual, they were anything but. Feigning to sing James' praises while actually putting him down, not treating him as a younger brother at all. And with his own son r
