Chapter 732
“I know, I think she’s being way too reckless, too,” Isabella sighed, her tone dripping with helplessness. “Her devotion to them is touching, I suppose p>
“But then again, it makes sense. She’s always been their favorite. The moment she came back, Holden handed over shares in the Vinton family. Meanwhile, you and I… we grew up right under their noses, and we haven’t seen a single fraction of a percent p>
“If she actually pulls off this insane stunt, she won’t just have saved Kiera’s life; she’ll have saved Holden’s, too. That kind of credit is astronomical. By then, Holden will probably hand the entire Vinton empire over to her p>
“But you have to admit, she does have the skills to back it up p>
She layered her words with thick, unmistakable envy. “It’s just a shame neither of us knows anything about medicine. Otherwise, we would have done everything in our power to save Holden, too p>
Anna’s pupils contracted sharply, all color draining from her face.
She was right!
The second her grandfather saw Serena, he threw those shares at that bitch!
Yet Anna, his actual granddaughter, didn’t even own a single percent!
She had heard that the bitch did know a thing or two about alternative medicine. If she somehow managed to fake her way through this and actually pull it off p>
Would there even be a place left for Anna in the Vinton family?
Taking Anna’s stunned silence as an opening, Isabella kept talking, acting like the isolation had made her desperate for conversation. “Still, there are only a handful of experts in the entire United Realmon States who can perform a surgery of this magnitude. Plus, Serena just got here. She doesn’t have connections. Do you think she just claimed she was finding replacements for Mr. White’s team to keep Holden and Kiera from panicking p>
“I’m honestly so worried about Holden. Serena might have some tricks up her sleeve, but she’s far tod young. Back in Elyndor, the only reliable doctors in that field are the ones with decades of experience She… she’s just read a few medical books p>
“These past few days, she’s been forcing Holden to choke down that Medicinal Tonic, and sticking needles into both of them Holden’s body already so fragile. If she makes a mistake and triggers something fatal… who’s going to take the blame for that p>
Isabella suddenly paused.
Acting as though she had caught herself in a terrible slip of the tongue, she audibly tapped her mouth. “No, no, no, what am I
saying? Serena Sant
genius
how could anything go wrong? She must be absolutely certain she can do it, otherwise she’d never operate herself! We shouldn’t put such bad energy out there p>
“Since we can’t leave anyway, let’s just stay here and quietly pray for her and Holden p>
Anna’s eyes narrowed into slits, a dark, toxic realization blooming in her gaze. Exactly!
For days, that bitch had been spouting nonsense about conditioning their grandparents’ bodies, taking it upon herself to administer whatever shady treatments she wanted p>
If something were to happen to Grandpa before he ever reached the operating table p>
Wouldn’t the blame fall squarely on Serena’s shoulders?
She would instantly become the selfish, reckless sinner who harmed their
grandfather just to steal the glory!
Her grandfather would undoubtedly snatch back those shares and banish that bitch
from the Vinton family forever, disowning her for good!
The very thought of it made Anna’s breathing turn shallow and erratic p>
