A Replacement Bride

Chapter 136

"So what you are saying is, I have to owe Mr. Muller a favor because of you?" Hebert half-squinted as he coldly looked at Tessa.

Tessa felt her heart skip a beat as a feeling of dread washed over her. Still, for her own sake, she could only bite the bullet. "Dear, we can just offer him money. I had Miss Cornell checked. Her family's company hadn't been doing too well. As long as we show our sincerity, she—"

"Since you had her checked," Hebert interrupted, "and probably went to find her, did she say she will help you?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze only getting colder.

Tessa didn't utter another word after that as she lowered her head and quietly cursed Katherine out.

She wouldn't have had to embarrass herself so much in front of Hebert if it wasn't because Katherine's refusal to save her.

"I—" She soon parted her lips to explain, but she was cut off by Hebert once again.

"Enough. You don't have to say another word. I am tired." After he threw that out, he immediately lay in bed as a means to send her away.

Even though Tessa was upset about his reaction, she didn't dare lose her temper at Hebert. All she could do was swallow her emotions and leave the hospital with London, feeling disheartened.

Seeing the depressed look on Tessa's face, London couldn't help but suggest in a low voice, "Why do we have to beg her, Mom? Katherine Cornwell definitely has a reputation since she is so powerful. She must be someone of importance if even Mr. Muller thinks so highly of her. At this age and time, there aren't a lot of women who are influential. As long as we expose her, she will naturally be in trouble even without us causing a fuss. And I really don’t think she can cure cancer. Is she even capable of doing that?”

"Are you sure? Can we really do this? I…" Tessa still felt uneasy.

"Don't worry, Mom. There won't be any problem. You should go to the hospital for proper treatment now. It is more important to keep you alive. We will bait her out with public opinion, and when that time comes, we will bring the media along to have her save you. She will be deemed as an unethical doctor if she refuses. I want to make it impossible for her to continue on in the medical field in the future," London sneered as her eyes turned cold. She truly had murderous intentions toward Katherine.

Thinking that this was a good idea, Tessa could only nod in agreement.
