Chapter 1317
Benjamin said, “We have to at least try this is people’s lives we’re talking about p>
Sabrina shot back with a mocking grin. “If you’re such a bleeding heart, why don’t you go play hero yourself? No one’s stopping you p>
Benjamin clenched his jaw, struggling to keep his temper in check. “The virus is mutating every day. What if it gets out, starts spreading like wildfire, and we still haven’t found a cure? Then what p>
“Oh, please,” Sabrina scoffed. “You’re worrying for nothing! How do you know it’ll spread? How do you know we won’t find the cure? For your information, I’m already onto something p>
Benjamin blinked. “Excuse me p>
The Medical & Pharmaceutical Association team looked at her, equally surprised. “What p>
Sabrina looked smug, practically glowing with self-importance. “Just because none of you can crack it doesn’t mean I can’t p>
Benjamin eyed her skeptically. “You really have a lead p>
She snorted. “None of your business! But mark my words, I’ll figure it out p>
Benjamin didn’t buy it for a second. But then again, why would she brag in front of everyone if she didn’t have something up her sleeve? She’d look like a total fool if she failed.
The rest of the Association didn’t believe her either. Everyone knew Sabrina’s capabilities. But nobody wanted to get on her bad side, so they decided to shoot down Benjamin’s proposal and keep Victor out of the loop for now.
Fuming but powerless, Benjamin stormed out of the conference room.
Sabrina followed, even angrier than he was, barking after him, “Benjamin! Stop right there p>
He ignored her and headed down the hall to his office.
Meanwhile, Tarquin and Lowell had just arrived at the hospital. As soon as they stepped off the elevator they saw the two of them. Benjamin was marching ahead Sabrina trailing close behind, clearly furious.
“Benjamin! Are you trying to get yourself kicked out of the Medical & Pharmaceutical Association?!” Sabrina snapped.
Benjamin just kept walking, refusing to engage.
She lost it. “Fine! Why don’t you just say it? Is it just you who wants out, or does
the whole Lawson family want to be blacklisted p>
At the mention of his entire family, Benjamin stopped in his tracks, glaring at her with barely contained rage.
Sabrina didn’t back down. “Let’s be real-I can’t stand Elysia, and since you’re her friend, I don’t like you
much either. If you mind your oWIT business, I’ll leave you alone. But if you want to go against me, don’t blame me for what happens next.” Cóntent
She leaned in, eyes cold. “I might not have all the power in the medical world but my granddad does Messing with me won’t end well for you. Hell, it might not end well for the whole Lawson family p>
Benjamin’s lips pressed into a thin line, his chest heaving with rage. If he didn’t have to worry about his family or Victor, and if she wasn’t a woman, he’d have decked her right then and there.
But Sabrina didn’t care. She just kept going, face icy. “From now on, stay out of
the virus business. You’re not going to find a cure, anyway p>
He ground out, “If I can’t, what makes you think you can p>
She smirked. “Watch me. And if I ever do need my granddad, I’ll call him myself. No need for suggestions from you p>
With that, she strutted back toward the conference room without even noticing Tarquin and Lowell by the elevator.
Benjamin stood there, stunned and seething.
He’d met a lot of nasty people in his life, but never anyone quite like her. Unbelievable.
Still, he couldn’t help but wonder-where did Sabrina get the confidence that she could actually find the cure?
