“No!” Daiz replied confidently. He had spent most of his seventy-four years alive traveling and
administering medical treatments worldwide. As such, he could easily interpret the Whitlocks’ reaction.
Given Harvey and Veronica’s earlier questioning, I deduce that they think it would be shameful to beg
the skilled master for help. The first thing that came to their minds was their reputation, instead of doing
whatever it takes to keep Mr. Whitlock alive! Any liking or positive feedback he had on the couple had
instantly disappeared.
While Harvey was thinking over Daiz’s response, the latter said tersely, “Mr. Whitlock is in a dire
situation. As his son, I hope you make the right choice because if not, your future generations will look
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdown on you.” Harvey and Veronica exchanged wary looks.
“Mr. Stone left angrily because of Uncle Harvey and Aunt Veronica. If you want him to continue with the
treatment, you need to come with me and apologize,” Delilah said.
“What?! You expect us to apologize?” Veronica hissed. “Are you out of your mind, Delilah? Harvey is
going to be the head of the household soon. That makes me the lady of the house. Everything we say
or do will affect the Whitlock family’s reputation. How dare you suggest for us to apologize to a young
greenhorn. No way in hell!”
“Veronica Trennings!” Delilah yelled suddenly. Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued sternly,
“I’m not asking for your opinion. Mr. Stone could have treated Grandpa if not for your wilful decision to
pull out the needles. This is all your fault, so you should be responsible for clearing this mess up! Mr.
Russo has already said that Grandpa doesn’t have much time left. Why are you so bent on your
reputation at this critical period? Is your dignity more important than Grandpa’s life?”
“How dare you call me by my full name…” Veronica scowled, ready to argue with the disrespectful girl.
Before she could continue, Delilah snapped, “Stop talking! I’m warning you that if you don’t seek Mr.
Stone’s forgiveness, I’ll use all my shares to battle you to the bitter end. I swear I’ll rob you of
everything.”
“You…” Veronica scrunched her face, annoyed by the threat.
Although Whitlock was a big corporation, each lineage could only acquire a limited number of shares
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdue to the large number of descendants in the Whitlock family. Harvey was given only ten percent of
the shares even though he was the eldest son of the main family branch. Delilah had received fifteen
percent of the shares due to her significant contributions to the company and because she was favored
by Blanc. Hence, she could form an alliance with the external shareholders and vote Harvey out of the
company.
“Never mind. We can discuss all this later. Let’s focus on saving Blanc,” Harvey said to Veronica.
The man had chosen out of fear of Delilah’s threat rather than out of care for Blanc. However, the evil
couple sought to trick the others by having the wife play the devil, and the husband play the angel.
Veronica scoffed, “All right. I’m only doing this for Mr. Whitlock. I’ll settle scores with you when the
matter is over. It’s disrespectful of you to call your elders by their full name.”
Delilah could not be bothered to argue with the unreasonable woman. She took out her phone and
instructed her subordinates to locate Skylar’s whereabouts.
