Chapter 73 Mary is Beaten, William is Furious!
Charles really came to see William!
This was utterly astonishing. In Jeffery's eyes, William was nothing but a complete failure! How could he earn such respect from Charles?
Wait a minute!
The last time he saw him with Charles in the hospital's rest area, could it be that Charles was also there specifically for him?
Suddenly, Jeffery panicked.
At the same time, he was seething with anger.
This can't be possible! It must be a mistake!
Then he looked at Mary, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at William, her mouth slightly agape, lips trembling as she asked. "William, did Charles really come here for you?"
Why would this be?
In the past, Mary would never have believed such a scene, she might even think that Charles was an impostor.
But after last night's events, Mary had a new understanding of William.
Even so, even if William's family had some money, it wouldn't be enough to earn such respectful treatment from Charles.
This was a medical giant, a big shot pursued by countless people. And yet, he was bowing to William.
A medical sage in his sixties or seventies, renowned and respected, was being so humble to a man in his twenties. If those wealthy entrepreneurs and business magnates who begged Charles for medical appointments knew about this, they would probably pee their pants in fear.
Could it be that William was still hiding something from her?
What exactly did his family do?
William saw the confusion on Mary's face and said with a smile. "Charles know my father from before. My father sponsored his research, right, Charles?"
With that, William looked toward Charles, who immediately understood and nodded, smiling. "Yes, Mary, William's father sponsored our research projects in the past. I definitely need to repay this favor."
"Impossible! How could this be? William is clearly nothing but a waste. What father? What sponsorship? Charles, do you realize what you just said?"
Jeffery was flustered, daring to question Charles.
Where did William get a father? Wasn't he an orphan?
That was what he said when they were in college.
Sponsorship?
What a joke!
As if William's family was that rich.
If he was rich, would he let Mary live such a hard life? Would he ignore Sarah 's illness?
Charles's face darkened. He turned around, and said coldly. "You must not be disrespectful! William's father is not someone you can slander! If you dare to disrespect William again, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
Jeffery really had some nerve.
To be disrespectful to William's father, he really didn't want to live.
Did he not know that William's father, with just a flick of his finger, could affect a country's GDP!
Jeffery trembled all over, immediately panicked, and hurriedly apologized. "I'm sorry, Charles, I was confused."
Charles snorted coldly, and followed up. "Tomorrow I will have someone return the jade piece your father sent me. From then on, your family will have nothing to do with me!"
This was undoubtedly a resounding slap, fiercely striking Jeffery's face.
Jeffery almost wet himself on the spot and hurriedly kept apologizing. "Charles, I was wrong, please don't do this, otherwise, my father will definitely kill me."
Charles said, "Don't apologize to me, you should apologize to William."
William?
Jeffery turned his face to look at William, his expression complex.
Why would this be?
He was clearly a loser, why did he suddenly become someone that even Charles had to respect?
Who exactly was he?
Torn by his thoughts, Jeffery bitterly clenched his teeth, squeezed out a grim smile, and said, "William, you know I've been good to Sarah before, could you please put in a good word with Charles for me?"
This was hard to swallow!
'I actually had to bow down to William!'
Mary also said, "William, can you just let it go for my sake?"
When his wife spoke up, William naturally wouldn't hold a grudge. "Of course."
After that, he held Sarah and entered the hospital with Charles.
Jeffery stood alone at the entrance, his body drenched in cold sweat, his eyes filled with angry light, fists clenched tightly. He turned and left!
Getting into the car, he slammed the door shut, violently hitting the steering wheel. Jeffery was extremely upset, and this annoyance quickly turned into hatred!
"Why?!" Jeffery roared in the car, then took out his phone, gasping for air, his body trembling with rage, his eyes showing a fierce coldness, and said, "Move up the plan, the day after tomorrow!"
Hanging up the phone, Jeffery looked angrily in the direction of the hospital entrance.
At this moment, his hatred was immense.
'Mary, I must have you!'
On the other side, while Charles and Sarah were undergoing a comprehensive examination, Mary pulled William aside to the rest area, staring at him intently.
William sighed helplessly, shrugged, and confessed. "Alright, I'll tell the truth, Charles was actually my father's personal doctor before."
"Personal doctor?" Mary exclaimed, her eyes sparkling.
What kind of background did William's father have to have Charles as a personal doctor?
"William, is there really nothing else you want to tell me?" Mary asked again, her face showing a slight hint of anger.
William must have been hiding other things from her.
William immediately wrapped his arms around Mary's slender waist and smiled. "That's really it. Back then, Charles wasn't as famous as he is now. My father had some health issues, so he hired Charles as a personal doctor. There's no need for me to lie to you. May lightning strike me if I tell a lie again."
Just as William was about to swear, Mary quickly covered his mouth, glaring at him with feigned annoyance. "Alright, alright, I believe you, okay?"
William chuckled, teasingly flicking Mary's nose.
Mary shyly dodged and gave him a look. "What are you doing, there are so many people here."
The rest was left to Charles, and Mary went back to work.
Having resolved the issue of Sarah's surgery, with Professor Charles personally in charge, Mary's mood was very pleasant all day.
At the same time, her view of William had greatly improved. She wondered whether to tell her parents about this matter.
Forget it, she would wait a bit longer, guessing her mother was still angry.
Returning to work, Mary strangely felt that everyone seemed to be avoiding her.
"Hey, what's going on?" Mary asked her assistant.
The assistant seemed sneaky, saying, "Mary, you weren't at work these past few days, and a new vice president has arrived, a woman, who is also said to be Mr. Hall's mistress. She has a terrible temper, and moreover, this morning, she named you specifically, saying she would target you."
Mary laughed. "I don't know any new vice president, why would she target me?"
The assistant sighed helplessly. "Because someone snitched to her, saying you and Mr. Hall have that kind of relationship."
Mary was taken aback. The intrigue of the workplace was indeed inescapable.
However, she didn't mind and laughed. "Alright, don't be so alarmed by rumors, I have nothing to do with Mr. Hall."
The assistant nodded but still kindly reminded her, "Mary, I advise you to be careful, the new vice president is not someone to be trifled with, and Mr. Hall listens to her a lot."
Mary nodded to show she understood, then took the plan for the Loren and went to the Chairman's office.
Half an hour later, Mary came out of the Chairman's office.
A woman with a cold and high-class demeanor approached her, wearing a red low-cut blouse paired with a black pencil skirt and high heels. She had a slender waist and hips, long legs wrapped in black stockings, wavy hair, and large sparkling earrings.
She carried an air of dominance and was clearly not someone to be messed with.
Mary smiled and nodded in greeting.
The woman walked straight up to Mary, raised her hand, and harshly slapped Mary's face! This slap was given in front of all the company's employees. Everyone gasped, not daring to utter a word, all shrinking their heads and sneaking peeks.
Mary was stunned, her cheek burning with pain.
"Are you Mary?" the woman asked coldly.
Mary glared at her in anger and asked, "Who are you, and what gives you the right to hit people?"
The woman just sneered coldly, slapped her again, and pointing at Mary's nose, she scolded. "My name is Patricia, the new vice president, and also Mr. Hall's girlfriend. I warn you, stop bothering Mr. Hall, otherwise, every time I see you, I'll slap you!"
Arrogant and domineering! This was Patricia, the newly appointed vice president of BK Pharmaceuticals.
Mary was furious, not expecting Patricia to be so unreasonable and overbearing. She looked to be just over twenty.
Just then, Larry came out of his office and saw this scene, shouting at Patricia. "Patricia, what are you doing?"
Patricia, fearless and defiant, crossed her arms and glared coldly at Mary, then turned and strutted away with her hips swaying.
No one in the office dared to say a word.
Larry looked at Mary with guilt, gesturing for her to come in and apologizing. "Ms. Smith, I'm really sorry, I apologize on behalf of Patricia, don't take it to heart with her."
Saying that, Larry also took out a card and handed it to Mary. "Here's a hundred thousand dollars. I heard your daughter needs medical expenses, consider it my support for you."
Mary didn't take the card, her face cold. "No need, Mr. Hall, I'm fine, I'll be leaving now."
With that, Mary turned and left the office, returning to her own.
The assistant ran over, very concerned. "Mary, are you okay? I didn't expect that Patricia to be so domineering, and Mr. Hall didn't even intervene."
Mary was very annoyed, looking at her own face in the mirror. There was a red slap mark on her cheek, and two scratches from fingernails on her right cheek.
Was Mary angry? Yes, she was.
But she was just a marketing manager, and Patricia was the new vice president, as well as Mr. Hall's mistress. She had to endure. This was the ruthless nature of the workplace.
After work, Mary returned to the hospital in a very bad mood, staying in the high-end ward with Sarah.
When William arrived, Mary made an excuse to leave.
Sarah, wearing a pink patient gown, tugged at William, her voice soft. "Daddy, mommy was crying just now, I saw that mommy's face is hurt."
Mary cried, and her face was injured?
William frowned, rushed out to find Mary, who was still desperately dodging, but still, William saw it.
On her face, there were red marks, especially those two scratches, clearly from fingernails!
"Who hit you?"
William was furious, his eyes filled with a chilling intent, brimming with rage!
Someone dared to hit Mary!
Unforgivable!
Damn it!
