Chapter 39 Who Has Such Audacity
"Just remember this - if you want to be a doctor, fine, but you better learn properly from real experts. Don't go around with that know-it-all look on your face. Who wants to see that?"
Seeing the smug expression on the other person's face, Anthony shook his head speechlessly. "So much nonsense."
"What? You're calling this nonsense? Let me tell you, this is called being realistic."
"You might not accept my criticism now, but soon enough, reality will teach you a lesson you won't forget."
"Don't be so arrogant. When the real cardiovascular expert Brayden gets here, you'll understand just how big the gap is between a fraud like you who pretends to be a doctor and the real deal."
"Who did you say this cardiovascular expert you invited is?"
"Who? What, are you deaf? Or does hearing Brayden's name strike fear into your heart?"
"Haha—"
Anthony smiled faintly. "I thought it was someone important. A famous cardiovascular expert? Oh, it's just Brayden."
Anthony's tone was casual, but everyone present could sense something unusual in his words.
This made Annie, standing beside him, visibly tense up.
She quickly tugged at Anthony's arm.
"Hey, what are you saying? You're not even taking the famous cardiovascular expert seriously..."
While trying to persuade him, Annie shot Anthony a fierce glare.
She hadn't expected this doctor her father recommended to be this arrogant.
In front of all these people, he showed no respect for expert Brayden at all.
When it came to Brayden's reputation, everyone in Colorado knew who he was.
Yet Anthony didn't know how to keep a low profile.
Annie was secretly worried for him.
After all, Anthony was someone she had introduced, someone her father had recommended.
At first, she didn't believe what her father said, thinking he'd been deceived while in prison. But now, she had complete faith in Anthony's medical skills.
Still, no matter how skilled Anthony was, he shouldn't be so dismissive of Brayden.
Full of anxiety, she wanted Anthony to apologize to everyone.
After Anthony's words, she noticed that the family members present all had barely suppressed anger on their faces.
He had come to help treat a patient, but now Anthony had angered everyone. This made Annie feel terrible.
Just as she was getting anxious, a loud laugh suddenly rang out.
"Haha, I can't believe how arrogant you are. You don't even respect the famous cardiovascular expert Brayden. From your tone, you don't recognize Brayden's achievements in cardiovascular medicine?"
Oscar, who said this, looked furious.
In contrast to Oscar's expression, Anthony's tone remained calm.
"That's right. After meeting me, Brayden only has the qualification to learn from me. That's what happened last time. But I won't let him learn from me - he has character problems."
"What?"
No matter how composed Oscar usually was, he could no longer stay calm.
His family had spent a fortune to hire cardiovascular expert Brayden, hoping to make the Roberts family owe them a huge favor.
That would give him a higher position in his family.
But now, this Anthony was putting Professor Brayden down so much. Furious, Oscar's vision was going dark.
"Anthony, you really have some nerve. Did I hear you right? You're saying the famous cardiovascular expert Brayden wanted to be your student, and you wouldn't accept him? And you're saying Brayden has no character?"
Seeing the other person's furious expression, Anthony's tone remained calm.
"That's right. I said he has no character..."
Oscar was grinding his teeth in anger.
He was about to curse at Anthony when suddenly, an angry, booming voice came from the doorway.
"Today I'll see who dares to disrespect me, Brayden!"
Hearing this sharp rebuke, Oscar couldn't help but tremble, then shouted with delight.
"Oh, Dr. Brayden Caputo, you're finally here—"
He looked toward the door with excitement.
Brayden had appeared at the entrance with five or six assistants.
Now, whether it was the Silas couple or the family members present, everyone looked shocked and amazed.
They hadn't expected Oscar and his family to actually bring the famous cardiovascular expert here.
To them, Brayden was a legendary figure.
Many people in the room had never actually seen Brayden in person.
At this moment, they saw a man in his fifties at the door, wearing an expensive suit rather than professional attire.
He held a cane and wore gold-rimmed glasses. Standing there, he naturally commanded respect, giving off a powerful presence.
This was the aura of someone long accustomed to authority.
After spotting the man at the door, Oscar shouted with delight again.
"Haha, yes, it's Dr. Caputo. He's here."
While shouting excitedly, Oscar rushed toward the door with a thrilled expression.
"Dr. Caputo, thank you for coming despite your busy schedule..."
Oscar rushed forward, wanting to get close to Brayden and show off in front of everyone. But Brayden, with a stern face, pushed him aside.
"Move. Don't block my view. I want to see who's so arrogant as to disrespect me, Brayden."
Having just arrived at the door and heard someone slandering him, Brayden was furious.
He'd been holding in his anger lately.
Mainly because during his treatment at the Bruce Manor, he'd suffered the first major setback of his career, seriously damaging his confidence.
He'd thought he was at the peak of cardiovascular medicine, but a young man had completely overshadowed him.
Most importantly, even using all his skills, he couldn't match the other person.
Because his confidence had been so badly shaken, Brayden had been in a terrible mood lately.
