Hearing this, Susan's reddened eyes blinked as she nodded, for the first time feeling a trace of warmth beside her in the cold despair.Just as they were about to go in, James Brown and Mary Martinez, who weren't chosen, anxiously said, "Remember to fight for the company and will. If you don't stake your claim now, we'll have nothing left. We're fully relying on you now.""Your mother's glory and luxury for the rest of her life, the jewelry and finery, also depend on you! Even if you don't do it for yourself, do it for me!" Seeing her urgency deepened Susan's pain. Jason said coldly, "Don't speak too soon. With me here, those who shouldn't die likely won't find it so easy."This wasn't big talk. Although he had only learned from Master for months, he had inherited all his skills. As the saying goes, the master leads you in, but attainment depends on the person. His medical expertise was fully due to Jason's talent and gifts, or anyone else in his place wouldn't have learned even wit
"Well..." Dennis Campbell had barely opened his mouth before Alexander Brown guffawed loudly. "Susan, are you dreaming? How can you utter such impractical nonsense? Jason is nothing. How can he compare to the Master?""They are as different as heaven and earth. Even Mount Everest cannot bridge the gap between Jason and the Master. That useless loser...will always be a useless loser!"Robert Brown also jeered derisively, "You'd be better off relying on me than that worthless fool. If you hand over the company to me, I can at least guarantee you'll be fed. We could even let this loser work as a security guard." "Don't worry. As long as you work obediently for me, seeing the Master someday may not be impossible!"Since it was all boastful talk anyway, why not boast big? Few had seen the Master, so who could refute them? If Susan obediently handed over the company, it would save them a lot of trouble and let them seize more power.Jason glanced at him. If only he knew the Master was righ
But suddenly, Jerry Parker cried out in astonishment, "Of course, why didn't I think of sleeping pills? With the patient's face iron blue from rage, we couldn't discern his mental state at all. That made us overlook this possibility!""Yes, that's it, that must be it!"As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and splashed a basin of ice cold water forcefully onto old Brown's face. This shocking scene left everyone dumbfounded. But what happened next astonished them even more. Old Brown's body shuddered, and incredibly, he slowly opened his eyes before their startled gazes!He was awake!This scene left everyone present dumbfounded. No one had expected that a bowl of cold water could actually wake Old Master Brown. It was far too unexpected! Who could have imagined he would fall into a deep coma simply due to a small sleeping pill?Yet Jason was not surprised at all from the beginning. He had noticed it, but hesitated on whether to save him until he saw how heartbroken Susan was, which pr
"Being of the same Brown family line, the difference between them is no trivial matter. If I too could have such a filial granddaughter, I could die without regret. I speak without the slightest exaggeration!"Upon hearing this, Susan's pretty face turned red, somewhat surprised and caught off guard. She did not expect such high praise from the eminent physician, making her feel rather overwhelmed and unworthy.Old Master Brown's mind had cleared considerably. Naturally, he would believe the word of an eminent physician. Robert Brown and Alexander Brown wanted to throw more dirt, but were frightened into silence by Old Master's cold snort."Humph! I'll deal with you two later!""Susan, you did well this time. Very good," Old Master Brown casually praised her.But Dennis Campbell and the others frowned. Logically, for such loyalty and filial piety, even great rewards would not be excessive. Yet all she received was a single line of praise? This was rather disheartening.Wasn't this far
"Rejected? Why? I heard yesterday that Natalie had passed the minimum score for Emerald City Middle School, and was even top of her class. Aren't those grades pretty good?" Jason frowned in puzzlement.Although Natalie had not attended school much, she had been homeschooled all this time. Her grades were full marks in every subject, which had left him dumbfounded at the time. She was a genius.Logically, the school should be clamoring to admit her. Emerald City Middle School wouldn't be so foolish, would they? But Lawrence said angrily, "That principal is deliberately antagonizing me, refusing to let Natalie enroll no matter what. One moment he asks for certifications, the next he wants documents, toying me like a monkey.""If I hadn't promised Natalie not to resort to violence easily, I would've punched that fatso long ago."Seeing his furious state, Jason pondered for a moment before saying, "Take me to see what's going on. This is Natalie's dream after all, we have to at least try
Jason was taken aback, both alarmed and delighted that Timothy Harris was also here. He felt somewhat awkward, since Kelly Harris had been pursuing him all this time. He didn't know how to break the ice. Hopefully the girl had seen the error of her ways by now. But before he could speak, Mr. Flores looked confused instead, quite surprised as he said, "You know each other? How come I'm not aware of this?"He and Timothy Harris were close friends, confiding everything in each other on a daily basis. Not many people could elicit this kind of attitude from Timothy Harris. One must know, the Harris family was no ordinary elite family!But Timothy Harris boasted proudly, "Jason is quite capable, I'll tell you about it later. For now, let's put Ward down first, don't strangle him to death."Hearing this, Jason promptly nodded at Lawrence. Although the latter was still resentful, he tossed Principal Ward to the ground. Ward coughed violently in excruciating pain."Humph, consider yourself
"Good ol' Ward, even now you still dare quibble and struggle. I see no need for you to continue as principal. The middle school next door happens to need someone to sweep the grounds. I'll put you in charge starting today. Go repent!" David Flores scoffed angrily.Ignoring Ward's screams and wails, he personally went forward to gather the shredded papers and pieced them back together. Checking, he found the qualifications were indeed sufficient.Thus, under Lawrence's anticipation, David Flores sincerely apologized, "My friend, I misunderstood you. It's our oversight too. I'll personally handle your daughter's admission. On behalf of Emerald City Middle School, I welcome her."Upon hearing this, it was like a huge weight lifted from Lawrence's heart. He was extremely excited, it was finally accomplished. Jason also smiled and nodded. He had promised Natalie back then too. Now that Mr. Flores was handling the paperwork, there would be no issues. As long as Natalie's leg recovered, sh
"Jason? You've grown a leopard's guts now huh? How dare you kick over my foot washing water, the world is upside down now, no more rule of law!" Mary Martinez leapt up, screaming and throwing a tantrum.This time Jason had truly infuriated her. He actually dared kick her foot washing water, this useless man was trying to rebel!Hearing this, Grace Diaz panicked. It was because of her after all. She quickly advised, "It's all my fault, don't be angry. I'll go clean it up right away and change the water."But Jason stopped her and reassured, "Don't worry Auntie Diaz, it's not your fault at all. Some people want to take liberties, this is the consequence, can't indulge them."Usually he didn't want to contend on the same level as Mary Martinez, only enduring out of consideration for Susan's face. But now she still wanted to run wild over him, that was impossible. Moreover, Kyle was like a brother to him, how could he watch Kyle's mother be humiliated?Besides, what housekeeper washed the
