Chapter 182

Florence forced on a syrupy smile for Dr. Foster, then wheeled around to face Alex with fire in her

eyes.

"Dr. Foster, please ignore this piece of garbage. He's clueless."

"Alex, shut your damn mouth! You're trying to sabotage Grandfather's treatment, aren't you? Trying to nab the inheritance early? Is that why you'd rather see Abraham die? God, you're disgusting."

Alex merely shrugged, seemingly unfazed. "All I'm saying is if Dr. Foster doesn't even notice there's poison at play, then yeah, I question his qualifications."

Dr. Foster's face hardened, his eyes flashing with indignation. "Boy, do you have any idea who you're mouthing off to? That kind of disrespect can cost you dearly."

Alex crossed his arms. "I heard you're Jonathan Owens's apprentice-nothing more. If treatment's needed, it should come from the master himself. You're still wet behind the ears."

Florence gasped at Alex's audacity.

The rest of the family practically bristled with rage, while Charles, standing nearby, offered his own warning. "Alex, Dr. Owens is in seclusion and can't be reached that easily. Even Dr. Foster respects that boundary."

Charles shot Alex a knowing smirk.

Alex caught it-and realized Charles was well aware of Alex's true abilities. Yet Charles was deliberately letting things escalate.

The man was relishing the chaos.

Dr. Foster flung a hand in the air in frustrated outrage. "Mr. Kingston, you personally asked me to come here. Now, I'm being insulted by some two-bit know-it-all. If this is the thanks I get, I'm out of here. Let the old man croak!"

Instantly, everyone clamored in panic.

"No, no, Dr. Foster, please don't leave!" Florence grabbed hold of the doctor's sleeve, then shot a venomous glare

at Alex.

"You bastard, quit running your mouth and get lost! You've got no right to insult Dr. Foster's expertise."

Jack chimed in, pointing angrily at Alex, "Yeah, who do you think you are? Piss off!"

"How can you be so cold, Alex?" another family member snarled. "Do you actually want Old Mr. Lancaster to die, you heartless prick?"
