Chapter 368

Chasel’s eyes widened as if he’d heard something that deeply wounded his pride. His fair face turned bright red, and after a moment, he choked out, “What?”

“Has Dr. Bright been abroad too long? Have you forgot your mother tongue? Would you like me to translate it for you?” Evadne’s beautiful eyes were filled with hidden sharpness, her smile exuding an invisible pressure.

Rarely did women display such a smile.

It held a potent mix of authority and audacity, effectively suppressing Chasel’s free–spirited aura.

“Are you saying that I refused to treat Thaddeus because I couldn’t cure his illness?” Chasel asked through gritted teeth.

“Is there any other explanation?” Evadne shrugged.

“What a joke!”

Chasel angrily slapped the table, “Have you been here for too long? Did you forget that my reputation abroad surpasses even Dr. Eve’s? I’ve consulted on countless complex medical cases, saving numerous lives, even the Grim Reaper would offer me à toast! And you dare say my medical skills are inadequate? That’s outrageous!”

Evadne smiled, and merely remained silent, quietly observing his flustered state.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, Chasel leaned back comfortably, his cunning fox–like eyes gleaming with amusement as he looked at her, “Heh, almost fell for your provocation, Ms. Ashbourne. Your strategy may work on others, but I’m not some superficial man who’s obsessed with saving face. I won’t fall for your tricks.”

“Alas, I thought you are a man of great vision. Despite your refusal to treat the wealthy, you must know that Mr. Abernathy is a well–respected businessman. From his tenure as CEO to his current philanthropic endeavors, the charity foundation he established has helped countless people. Surely you’ve heard of this. Despite this, Dr. Bright, you insist on adhering to your principles. Don’t you think you’re being too inflexible?”

After Evadne finished speaking, she was taken aback.

She had been divorced for a long time, yet she was still able to effortlessly praise Thaddeus. Even she found it hard to believe.

Stripping away personal feelings, Thaddeus was indeed an excellent manager, practically perfect if not for the emotional aspect.

Otherwise, Evadne wouldn’t have silently loved him tirelessly for so many years. After all, when a woman admired or was grateful to a man, she could become hopelessly attached. Unfortunately for Evadne, she felt both of these emotions for Thaddeus.

That was why she had been infatuated for thirteen years.

“Ms. Ashbourne, no matter what you say, it won’t work.”

Though Chasel was somewhat swayed, he remained stubborn, “No matter what you say, I won’t budge. The fact that you used your connections to bring me back from abroad without my consent means we have nothing to discuss. You clearly lack basic respect for others because of your wealth and power. I’m going to book a flight back immediately. If you dare stop me, I’ll call the police!”

As Chasel was about to storm off, Evadne calmly sipped her tea, saying slowly, “Ah, even Dr. Eve couldn’t solve the problem. I thought Dr. Bright was the only hope.”

“Who? Who did you say?!” Chasel stopped abruptly, his eyes wide with shock.

“Dr. Eve.”

“You’re saying Dr. Eve treated Thaddeus?! Why would she even bother to do that?!” Chasel couldn’t help but lament.
