Chapter 1301
“First of all, you’ve got to work hard, Sabrina. Really put your head down and get the kind of results that’ll make everyone respect you-enough that they’ll want you leading them p>
“And second, you need to build strong relationships with people who matter. Doesn’t matter if it’s in medicine or any other field-having a solid network of accomplished people will do wonders for your future p>
“And unless it’s absolutely necessary, don’t get into fights with the big shots p>
“Of course, I’m not saying you should let people walk all over you. If Tarquin’s wife really picks on you, don’t be afraid of her. Even if it means going all the way to the top, I’ll make sure you get justice p>
Sabrina bit her lip, determined.
“I’m not lying, Grandpa. She started it! She’s not just rude-she’s shameless p>
“She stole the credit for my work and claimed it as her own. I could’ve just sucked it up, but I didn’t p>
“I called her, mainly out of respect for Mr. Bradford, tried to make peace, and even offered to bring her into the Medical & Pharmaceutical Association if we pulled this off together p>
“But instead of being grateful, she just mocked me p>
“She said she didn’t need my help to get into the Association-that her husband could get her in with a single phone call p>
“And she said even if she could help develop a cure, she’d never work with me.” “She’s off on summer vacation now, taking her kids to Disney World or whatever, doesn’t care at all about patients or medical ethics p>
“She even threatened that once she’s back from vacation, she’ll see to it that you get kicked out as president, Grandpa. Said she’ll take your place p>
“She’s out to wipe the Stevenson family name from the medical community p>
“That’s outrageous!” Victor fumed. “Everything we’ve done for medicine-and she thinks she can erase it, just like that p>
“Exactly, Grandpa! If someone like her-no morals, no sense of right or wrong- gets into the medical field, it’d be a disaster! The whole profession would fall apart p>
Victor’s face darkened. “Ignorant. She doesn’t know her place p>
Sabrina kept going, adding fuel to the fire.
“She’s just riding on Mr. Bradford’s coattails. Has no idea who she really is p>
Then she turned, a touch more cautious, “Grandpa, did Mr. Bradford call you to complain about me p>
Victor nodded, “He did. Told me to warn you, not to mess with his wife p>
Sabrina pulled a face, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
“Elysia’s just a conniving gold-digger, Grandpa. She’s got Mr. Bradford wrapped around her finger. He’s actually a decent guy-you shouldn’t be mad at him. If you want to be angry, be angry at that witch Elysia p>
She couldn’t stand Elysia, but she kind of liked Tarquin. Maybe even had a little crush on him.
Her dream? Get rid of Elysia, make Tarquin see her for who she is, divorce her-
-kick Elysia out with her brood of kids-
—and maybe, just maybe, see if things could work out with Tarquin.
Victor had no clue what Sabrina was plotting. He just frowned and said,
“Look, whatever the case, the warning got all the way up to r
Weed to chill out for now net
You
focus on your work.” Conte
“If you and your team can develop the cure, the Association will give you top
honors p>
Sabrina muttered, “But what if she keeps giving me trouble p>
“If she dares, I’ll handle her myself,” Victor promised.
Sabrina’s mood instantly brightened. “Okay p>
To her, Grandpa was everything. If
he stood up for her and put Elvenet
her
no one could t
in
him out
of it.
Not Tarquin, not even the most powerful folks in the country-her grandpa’s reputation was untouchable.
Elysia might have business connections, but in medicine, she had no one.
Sabrina hated her guts. She had to make sure Elysia never got back up again. Let her lose, and lose for good!
