The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 524

Chapter 526

In Crestwood, no matter how wealthy or powerful you were, there was one line no one dared to cross: you never offended anyone from the Crestwood Medical Research Center. After all, who could guarantee they'd never get sick in their lifetime?

For years, Scales had struggled with poor health. He'd always wanted treatment at the Crestwood Medical Research Center, hoping their renowned care could help him recover, but he'd been turned away again and again.

Now, spotting the director of the prestigious center among the guests, Scales couldn't hide his excitement. He strode forward, hand outstretched.

"Dr. Nathanael, it's an honor to finally meet you."

But Nathanael didn't even glance in his direction. He walked right past Scales without a word and stopped in front of Citrine.

Bowing his head, Nathanael spoke quietly to her. "Chairwoman, I'm so sorry we're late."

Citrine didn't seem bothered in the slightest. She replied softly, "It's nothing. No harm done."

Watching Nathanael and Citrine chat so familiarly, Scales' face twisted with envy and frustration, though he forced himself to remain composed.

All around, the other guests were stunned.
