Chapter 677
As they left, voices from the hallway drifted in. A doctor asked, “Mr. White, who exactly is Miss Lancaster? You weren’t even this attentive when that royal family member came to see you last time. Why p>
“Shut it!” White snapped. “Do you think you have the right to gossip about my mentor? All you need to know is that she’s a miracle in medical history. The word ‘genius’ doesn’t even begin to cover it p>
The voices faded down the corridor.
A comfortable silence settled over the hospital room.
“Serena Holden said, his initial shock melting into overwhelming pride. “How did you meet Mr. White? Why does he treat you like that p>
Serena offered a soft smile. “It’s nothing, really. A while back, a research trial he was leading almost resulted in a massive medical disaster. It would have ruined his career, but I happened to step in and help out. He’s just returning the favor p>
She downplayed it effortlessly.
But the older couple wasn’t blind.
White’s attitude was hardly that of someone just returning a favor.
He had treated her like a deity.
He was bowing and scraping with nothing but absolute worship and awe.
Still, since Serena didn’t want to elaborate, they didn’t push it.
Their biological granddaughter was truly incredible.
“You’re absolutely amazing, sweetheart!” Kiera held Serena’s hand, looking at her with boundless affection and pride. “Even Mr. White takes orders from you. No one
in the United Realmon States will ever dare mess with you p>
“The Vinton family’s future glory rests securely in your hands now p>
Watching this heartwarming family moment, the other two women in the room looked positively sick.
They had expected Serena to make a fool of herself, to fall flat on her face.
But they never expected this p>
Even a man like Mr. White followed Serena’s every command.
Isabella, in particular, felt as if she were choking on her own jealousy.
She had spent years playing the perfect, obedient granddaughter just to win the older couple’s affection.
But now p>
Everything had changed.
Serena was supposed to be a nobody from the country, yet she not only spoke fluent English but also possessed.unbelievable. connections in the United Realmon States.
This was Mr. White, for heaven’s sake p>
If Serena kept stealing the spotlight like this, would there even be a place left for Isabella in the Vinton family?
Biting her lower lip, Isabella pulled at Anna’s hand, her eyes rimmed with red.
Anna was already seeing red with envy herself.
Her thoughts mirrored Isabella’s perfectly—this country girl was ruthlessly manipulative. In just one day, she had completely won over their grandparents.
If she stayed in the United Realmon States much longer p>
Would their grandparents even remember Anna existed?
She would likely be pushed entirely out of the Vinton family’s inner circle.
Anna had always been a spoiled, arrogant socialite. She was used to being the center of attention.
For Serena to humiliate her and steal her thunder was unacceptable.
A girl like Anna simply couldn’t stomach it.
Her eyes darted thoughtfully before she forced a bright, innocent smile. “Wow, Serena, you’re amazing! I
can’t believe you actually got Mr
White here. He’s the Vice President
of the International Medical Summit. If someone of his caliber needed your help with a medical crisis, does that mean your medical skills are even better than his p>
She blinked, her praise sounding incredibly genuine.
She gazed at Serena with feigned admiration.
It was a stellar acting performance.
Serena lifted her gaze, giving her a cool, sideways glance. Her voice was flat. That’s right. So, Anna, you’d better prep the paperwork to transfer that eighteenth-birthday supercar your dad bought you over to my name p>
