A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 228 Given Upton's status, what could he possibly have to trade? What did he have that Upton would want?

"Mr. Thorne, please, we need your help!" Lisette snapped back to reality, quickly jumping in to plead on Horatio's behalf. "My brother's legs are in critical condition, and only she can help him!"

Upton glanced at them, his lips curling into a cold smirk. "You really don't know who she is, do you?"

"If we knew, we wouldn't be here begging you!" Lisette shot back anxiously.

"You're the ones who pissed her off, and now you come running to me for help? That's hilarious." Upton let out a chuckle. He didn't bother wasting any more time on them and simply turned to leave with Baber in tow.

Baber glanced back and stuck out his tongue. "Bunch of idiots-clutching a rotten apple like it's gold while tossing away real treasure!"

Horatio and the others frowned, confused by Baber's remark, and even more confused by Upton's words.

What did he mean by that? Had they somehow offended the Miracle Doctor?

Impossible. They didn't even know who she was, let alone have the chance to offend her.
