Chapter 396 Attacking Gray Corporation

It might sound arrogant, but it was in line with her abilities. Katherine was a genius doctor who could

cure any poison. The time constraint was the only thing she had to consider, and she made a decision.

"That file is too important and dangerous to fall into his hands. You have to hand it over to your boss

today. I'll handle everything on this side. I'll be staying in Kyoland for a bit."

She's not even panicking. A moment of silence later, Joaquin chuckled. She's always so calm. Nothing

can defeat her. Well, I guess I can relax a little. "I'll go to Area Seven after I have lunch with Noah.

Don't worry, I'll handle the file. Do you need me there?"

"No," Katherine refused. "You stay with Noah. I have Carmine with me, and Emmanuel's a sly old

b*stard. Who knows what he'll do? You stay in Hovington. We'll split up and cover more ground."

Spoken like a comrade. Joaquin wanted to laugh. "Sure," he said. "Call me if you need anything."

…

Once back at the Silver Gardens, Katherine checked Corey's pulse. The poison was a lot more

complicated than she thought. She mused over her options and quickly gave him an acupuncture

session to calm his pulse down and slow down the poison's spread. One hour had gone by when she

was done. When she came out of the room, her back was drenched with sweat.

Carmine approached her and asked, "Do you need my help, miss?"

Katherine didn't answer right away. Instead, she went to the dining room and got herself a glass of

water. She gulped it down in one go and heaved a sigh, then she took her phone out and typed on it. A

moment later, she sent the message to Carmine. "Buy these herbs and serums. I need them in one

hour, and I don't care how much money you have to spend."

Carmine went through the list and nodded. She quickly went to purchase them. She was efficient. Half

an hour later, she came back with everything. "Is this all, miss? Do you need anything else?"

Katherine opened the bag and checked the items, then she said, "This is all. I have something else I

need you to do."

Carmine's eyes lit up. "Anything, miss."

Katherine cocked her eyebrow. "Go to W Co. and tell Kelvin to break Gray Corporation's cash flow."

Carmine froze for a moment. "You want to attack Gray Corporation?"

Katherine looked down and fiddled with her glass. "Why? I can't?"

"No…" Carmine hesitated for a moment, then she said, "The Grays are powerful, especially in Kyoland.

It's hard to attack them. They are a lot more powerful than the Morans. They are the top family."

Katherine knew what she was worried about, but she didn't care. "Ignore everything else and tell Kelvin

about it. He can do whatever he wants, just show me results. I don't care how much he has to spend."

Well, if you insist. Carmine did as she was told and relayed the order to Kelvin.

…

At the same time, the Grays were under a lot of tension. What Emmanuel did caused an uproar, and

his wife, Sharon, was beside herself. She fainted a few times.

Philip Gray was furious. "He is your son. How could you poison him?"

Emmanuel was unfazed even in the face of his father's scolding. "Don't worry, Dad. He'll be fine."

Philip was trembling in rage, and he thought he would have a heart attack. His face was red with anger.

"And how are you so sure? Do you have any idea how important and valuable that research of Darren

is? His granddaughter won't hand it over. Corey is just her friend, and she won't sacrifice something so

important for him."

Emmanuel leaned on the sofa. With certainty, he said, "I've looked into her case, and she values her

friends and family. She won't leave Corey to die. No matter how reluctant she might be, she must hand

it over to me, or Corey will die because of her."

Philip sneered. "And how are you so sure? I heard she's a genius doctor. So what if you poisoned him?

And you actually handed Corey over? She can cure him without even handing the file to you now."

Emmanuel shook his head and smiled. He looked like he didn't care about his son. "Rumors, Dad. She

might be a doctor, but she's not as good as they say. Besides, the poison is complicated. Even if she is

a genius, she can't cure it in three days. If she wants the cure, she has to get it from me, and if she

wants me to give the cure, she must hand the file over. Just leave this to me, Dad." He chuckled.

"Dad, you and Darren were rivals, and you never won once. Now I'm avenging you. No matter how

smart he was in life, now we have him. He might have succeeded in his research, but after years of

hiding, he still has to give it to us."

Philip's face fell, and he gnashed his teeth, his howls swaying. "He's still your son. Your only legal heir.

You're putting the family's future in jeopardy. Do you expect your illegitimate sons to take over the

family? I will not allow it. This is beneath us."
