Chapter 176
During the meal, Jonathan solemnly explained some things to take note of. They had to send trusted people to take care of the old lady’s meals and daily life. They also had to call him immediately if anything happened.
Also, no other doctor should be allowed to treat the old lady while they were treating her. They would have to bear the consequences if they used another doctor and something happened. Jasper felt ashamed again after hearing Professor Woods’s explanation. He had performed terribly today. He had almost been bossed around by the two women.
Jason immediately expressed that the Zeller family would not hire anyone else to treat the old lady when he heard Jonathan’s instructions. Outside the Zeller residence. Jane caught up to Gwen and comforted her. “Gwen, don’t be angry.”
Gwen was so furious that she was about to explode. She quickly took a deep breath and said, “I’m not angry. There’s nothing to be angry about. Annalise has great medical skills. She must participate in the exchange.” Her tone was filled with mockery when she mentioned Annalise.
It was obvious that Julian had chased all of them out because he had asked Jonathan to provide relief for the old lady’s symptoms. He would then credit Annalise for it. She thought, “She’s just a woman from the middle of nowhere. Why must everyone focus on her?” She could not take that lying down.
She would have been calm if a genius like Lianne Blake was doing better than her. She admitted to herself that she could not compare to Lianne. She only knew medicine, while Lianne knew much more.
However, Annalise, a bumpkin from the countryside, was also doing better than her. It was infuriating.
Also, Jasper humiliated her with words like “narrow-minded”. “Just you wait, I’ll make a name for myself at the Medical Conference!” she thought. Julian brought Annalise home after the Zeller family’s matter was resolved.
He locked the door as soon as he returned to his room. There was something wrong with his gaze as soon as the door was locked. It was gentle and affectionate, mixed in with undisguised lust. Annalise’s heartbeat became chaotic when she met Julian’s gaze.
She remembered that Julian had something important to do today, but he did not go. Instead, he had gone to the Zeller family to support her. She immediately asked, “Don’t you still have something to do?”
Julian smiled. His smile was gentle and flirtatious. “Yes, there’s something I haven’t done. I’m doing it now.”
“No, I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about your company.”
Annalise panicked, and her heart beat even faster. She wondered if she was being improper. Why did she like him so much when he looked like this?
“What needs to be done at the company is a small matter. What we have to do now is a big matter.” Julian hugged Annalise’s waist and looked down at her with a passionate gaze. Then, he gently kissed her lips repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice. He kissed her lips, then moved to her ears. Annalise quickly avoided him. “You’re Dariel Randall’s apprentice,” he said suddenly.
He looked at her deeply. She was a little stunned when she met his gaze. “Yeah.” “That’s right, he knows. He knows that my second mentor is Dariel,” she thought. He added, “Randalls’ Martial Arts is famous. As his disciple, you can’t embarrass him.” “Huh?” Annalise was surprised. She had not done anything to discredit Dariel.
Julian looked at her gently and said, “How could Dariel’s disciple be bullied so easily? In the future, if anyone dares to bully you, beat them back ruthlessly! We mustn’t embarrass Dariel. You don’t have to care about the consequences. I’ll deal with all of the consequences.” Annalise’s heart trembled slightly when she heard that. She was extremely touched. She did not feel indignant at all despite what happened at the Zeller family today.
After all, it was difficult for someone she did not care about to hurt her. She just felt that it had been very noisy at that time. However, she felt that her entire world had turned colorful when Julian rushed over to support her. It really felt like her hero was protecting her.
At this moment, she was touched by his words again. She raised her head slightly and kissed his lips. The next moment, Julian grabbed the back of her head. His kisses had been pecks at first, but they gradually turned into a flurry of fierce kisses.
After having sex, he leaned against the headrest of the bed tiredly and let her lean in his arms. Annalise pulled the blanket over her head, feeling too ashamed to face anyone. Julian smiled when he saw her like that.
After a long time, Annalise asked him, “Aren’t you going to the office today?” The corners of Julian’s lips curled up even higher. He teased, “I just did some hard labor, and you still want me to go to work at the company?”
Annalise blushed again. She really envied him for being able to say such dirty words without blushing. Julian reached out to stroke Annalise’s hair and said gently, “There’s no need for me to go to the company. I’ll just take some time to deal with some important work later.”
“Okay, there are no problems with the sales of the clothes, right?” She only knew the sales on their side and not the situation with Alexander and Timothy Parks. “Yes, don’t worry.” Julian gently stroked Annalise’s hair again.
He especially liked the way she worried about him. Annalise snuggled into Julian’s arms and hugged his waist.
She mumbled, “I’m sleepy. I’ll sleep for a while.” Over at Albert’s side. They had not stayed at the Parks residence after Samuel’s birthday party. Instead, they lived in the villa area south of Jadeborough.
The family was looking at the figures of the clothing sales.
Aside from the people from the Parks family. there was also a mysterious figure present. He was wearing a black hoodie, a mask, and sunglasses. It was hard to tell if he was a man or a woman. He sat on the sofa and said in a low voice, “Up until now, how much has Julian pulled forward from your sales figures?” Timothy frowned and said, “About 45 million dollars.”
The person in the black sweater sounded a little surprised. “About 45 million dollars? In other words, you were crushed by Julian even after I set up 300 shops to help you sell the clothes?”
Timothy sighed. “Yeah.”
He analyzed. “The power of the Internet is too strong now. The couple’s public account is gaining countless fans every day. At first, we thought that there were more spectators than orders, that everyone was just there for the gossip and would not spend on their clothes. Now, over time, their first customers have reported that their clothes are of good quality and affordable.
Given the good reviews, many people started placing orders in the later stages. Now, they have a 10% Increase in orders every day. This kind of volume is very shocking. Our shops can’t compare to them at all. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
We underestimated Annalise Barton. She’s really too smart!”
“Who do you think Annalise Barton is? Julian must have come up with such an idea. Julian is the GOAT.” The person in the black sweater disdained Annalise.
Timothy looked at the man in the sweater with a strange expression and said, “We have to continue thinking of ways to increase our sales. Otherwise, I won’t have a chance to get promoted.” “I’ll add another 500 stores. You have to work hard yourself.” The person in the black sweater stood up and left the villa.In the blink of an eye, the day of the Medical Conference arrived. The Medical Conference was
held in Jadeborough’s largest exhibition hall. It was an exchange and collision between traditional and modern medicine.
Although it was called an exchange, it was actually a debate between practitioners of traditional medicine and modern medicine. Though, it would also be inappropriate to call it a debate.
That was because apart from the debate between traditional and modern medicine, the organizers had also specially recruited several patients with difficult conditions from various hospitals for practitioners of traditional and modern medicine to treat on-site.
They were going to prove their theories with facts. Many well-known doctors and medical researchers were participating in the Medical Conference. They had submitted their resumes for the organizers to screen when they signed up.
Therefore, those who managed to pass the selection and could participate in the Medical Conference were more or less qualified practitioners. When they were signing up, the participants were made to choose whether they supported traditional medicine or modern medicine. Aside from the participants of the exchange, influential figures from Jadeborough’s big families would also come to watch.
Although they were rich, they were also very interested in truly brilliant medical skills or doctors. They also wanted to take this opportunity to exchange or share resources to see if there was a possibility of a partnership between major families.
For the people in charge of these families, every banquet, summit forum, exchange meeting, and so on was an excellent opportunity to discuss business.
Gwen put on her admission pass and entered the venue early in the morning. She felt that her joyous day was finally coming. The past few days had been very suffocating.
She looked around after entering the venue, wanting to see if Annalise was there. Initially, she had signed up for this exchange because she wanted to become famous in the country. Now, her obsession had become to humiliate Annalise. She knew that she might not be able to defeat Jonathan, but it would be easy for her to crush Annalise The doctors entered the venue one after another.
The host made an announcement every time a famous doctor walked in. “The person walking in now is our esteemed medical expert, Professor Linda Turner. “Our Fellow, Dr. George Argen is also here. Welcome!” Gwen rolled her eyes when she heard the announcements. She snorted disdainfully. “Heh, he’s really pragmatic.”
She thought, “My name isn’t worthy of being announced? Trash. I’m an international surgeon, okay? I hold the title of Second International Surgeon, okay?” “The person walking in now is the famous Professor Woods Woods Welcome!” The host was very excited to mention Jonathan’s name. He even used the adjective “famous”
Gwen rolled her eyes again as she thought, “Famous my ass. Who would know him if his mentor wasn’t Joseph Quigley?” She immediately looked behind Jonathan, but she did not see Annalise come with him. She was really disappointed. Then, she curled her lips in disdain. “Heh, coward. You don’t even have the guts to come and participate in the Medical Conference.”
Jane chimed in, “Maybe it’s not that she doesn’t have the guts, but she doesn’t have the qualifications. After all, she doesn’t even have a medical license.” “Pfft, haha.” Gwen could not help but burst out laughing. She said, “How unfortunate.” Then, Abigail walked in. Jane immediately greeted, “Abbie, over here.” Abigail walked over with a smile.
Jane introduced Abigail and Gwen. The two of them were a little distant at first, but Gwen immediately became chummier with Abigail when Jane scolded Annalise and Abigail followed suit.
What a magical friendship. They could instantly become friends as long as they were scolding the same person at the same time. Soon, Jessy Parks also arrived. Jane immediately called out to her, “Jess, come quickly. Jessy came over to say hello, but she quickly excused herself and left.
She still had lingering fears about Julian taking revenge on her last time. She did not dare to provoke Annalise again. Also, her grandfather had specially instructed her today to watch the exchange and not cause trouble. He would send her overseas if she offended Julian again.
She did not want to go overseas. Jane asked Abigail after Jessy left, “Abbie, that cheapskate Annalise Barton won’t come, right?” Abigail rolled her eyes. “How is she qualified?”
However, she was slapped in the face as soon as she finished speaking. At the door, Annalise and Julian walked into the venue happily.
Abigail sneered again when she saw Julian. She said disdainfully, “I forgot that she’s currently Mrs. Parks. With her shiny status as Mrs. Parks, what kind of conference can’t she participate in?” Jane agreed. “That’s right!” She saw Julian reach out to rub Annalise’s head and gritted her teeth. Gwen’s heart ached when she saw Julian’s gentle side.
He had been so cruel to her back then. All she did was confess to him back then, but he had warned her to back off and even used his full might to crush her family’s company. Suddenly, she saw the admission pass hanging in front of Annalise. Only the medical staff who were going to participate in the exchange would have one.
“She came in as a doctor,” she said. Everyone followed her gaze and saw the admission pass hanging around Annalise’s neck. “Pfft!” Jane burst out laughing. “She almost stabbed Old Madam Zeller to death, yet she still has the cheek to participate in such a grand event?”
“Stabbed Old Madam Zeller to death? What’s going on? Tell me quickly.” Abigail seemed to have heard some great gossip and immediately asked Jane to tell her the full story. She had been helping
Alexander with trips to the supermarkets and wholesale markets that sold clothes for the past few days seeking their partnership. She was exhausted.
Jane told Abigail about how Annalise had treated Madam Zeller’s condition. She also exaggerated how shocking the scene was, telling her that Madam Zeller had vomited blood from Annalise’s acupuncture. She must have vomited at least a dozen mouthfuls of blood, enough to fill a basin and dying the blanket completely red.
Later on, Madam Zeller’s body convulsed as if she had epilepsy. Her body kept twitching, and then her facial features began to contort. Her hands and feet were all twisted together, and her body curled up into a ball. Jane even reached out to rub her face. She tilted his mouth exaggeratedly and said,
“Madam Zeller’s condition at that time was much more exaggerated than what I’m showing you now. I really can’t describe it. Think about it yourself. Anyway, it was such a ridiculous scene, much more ridiculous than the tilted mouth of a stroke patient.” Abigail said in disdain, “She really dared to stab her!”
Gwen said disdainfully. With Jonathan’s help and Julian’s support, what’s there to be afraid of? Regardless, she can insert a few needles and Jonathan will deal with the aftermath for her.”
Abigail said, her expression dark, “No one will back her up at the Medical Conference today. All the major media outlets are here today.”
Jane was very excited. “That’s right. There are many media outlets around today. With her lousy skills, she won’t be able to answer any questions about simple medical theory, right?” Gwen smiled and said, “Let’s go over and talk to her now.”
