Chapter 23 Ethan Comes In Person To Pick Brenna Up

At the Mitchell Group headquarters.

Neville reported to Ethan, "Dr. Pierce said that Cuthbert's renowned student has taken on an unexpected patient and won't be available for at least a week."

Ethan's eyes lifted from the folder he was reviewing, his expression darkening. "Call him again. Offer a hundred million if that's what it takes. We need that person to treat my grandfather immediately. Dr. Scott made it clear-my grandfather's best chance at recovery lies within this month.

After some back-and-forth negotiations, they finally landed on a deal-the fee was set for two hundred million. Ending the call, Christopher held up two fingers and grinned. "Two hundred million. Ethan is on his way here to pick you up. And it's payment upfront, treatment after. Give me your account number."

Brenna rattled off the digits, and within moments, her phone chimed with a bank notification. She received two hundred million.

What had begun as a ten-million-dollar case had ballooned into a sum twenty times larger-all because the Mitchell family members had failed to recognize true ability.
