Chapter 131 Hope You Won't Regret
Olivia's face looked terrible, and she felt more confused than anything.
The Hall siblings seemed to have no idea she was coming to treat their grandfather.
Hadn't Andrew told them in advance?
Olivia was puzzled and pulled out her phone, wanting to ask what was going on.
But Grace found her behavior strange and couldn't help asking Sophia, "Ms. Brown, who exactly is she? Why does it seem like you two don't get along?"
Sophia didn't hide anything. "She's... I guess you could say a competitor. Recently, her research institute is also launching a special medicine. She probably heard from somewhere that Mr. Hall was coming here and wants to compete for the opportunity!"
Grace frowned. "So it's business competition? But even so, there's no need to come here and trash your medicine right away, is there? Questioning someone's work to their face - that's just classless! She even cursed my grandfather!"
She looked at Olivia with disgust. "Please leave immediately. My grandfather has the Johnson Group's medicine, and that's enough."
Olivia frowned and said calmly, "Ms. Hall, I'm not maliciously cursing Mr. Hall, and I didn't come here to compete with them. Someone asked me to come treat your grandfather. I don't know what went wrong or why you didn't get the message. Let me ask first!"
The Hall siblings hesitated, seeing how convincing she sounded.
Could what she said be true?
However, how could Sophia allow this to happen?
The opportunity to build good relations with the Hall Family was hers - Olivia had no right to steal it!
She immediately said, "Olivia, why are you doing this? I know you can't accept losing to the Johnson Group, losing to me. It might even be because of Michael - you want to frame me...
But he's with me now. Can't you just let go?
This special medicine was developed through countless hours of my hard work leading the team. It's even been recognized by many industry leaders, yet here you are saying it will kill people.
If you ask me, you're the one who doesn't want Mr. Hall to get better!"
With these words, the trust that had just begun to form in Grace vanished instantly. "You mean she's also after Mr. Johnson?"
Sophia deliberately spoke vaguely, "Ms. Smith did take Michael from me when I wasn't around, but fortunately, his heart has always been true to me..."
Grace's face immediately filled with contempt.
She hated homewreckers more than anything in this life.
Her own fiancé had been stolen by another woman.
A look of disgust appeared on her face. "No need to ask anymore. Leave immediately. You're not welcome in my home, and my grandfather doesn't need your treatment."
Seeing how easily the other party was manipulated by just a few words, Olivia's expression turned cold.
"Ms. Hall, this concerns your grandfather's life. Are you really going to be this reckless? How long have you even known Sophia? Yet you trust her so completely!
Do you know that the Johnson Group's medicine wasn't even developed by her?
A thief who doesn't even understand the basic formula and data - and you're gambling your grandfather's life on her!"
Sophia clearly hadn't expected Olivia to expose this in public, and her expression changed slightly.
But it was only for a moment before she recovered.
She had stolen the data very cleanly and could be almost 100% certain that Olivia had no evidence.
Saying this now would only put her at a greater disadvantage.
After thinking this through, Sophia immediately scolded sharply, "Olivia, that's enough! You'll say anything to achieve your goals. I've been respectful to you out of consideration for our past acquaintance, but I didn't expect you to become even worse!
You say the medicine wasn't developed by me - do you have proof? If not me, why would the Johnson Group release it?"
At this point, she suddenly laughed mockingly. "Or are you trying to say... that I stole this formula from you?"
Olivia's eyes seemed to frost over as she looked at her coldly. "You know very well how you got this formula!"
Michael couldn't stand it anymore and immediately scolded, "Olivia, that's too much! You're deliberately causing trouble here and now you're slandering people?
This special medicine was painstakingly developed by Sophia, and you have the nerve to say she stole it from you.
How could the Johnson Group possibly access your company's research data?
If you're not as skilled, just go back and practice more!"
Seeing him blindly defend Sophia as always, Olivia actually laughed.
"Yes! I'm not as skilled, and your sweetheart is so capable! But if that's the case, why is she doing such thieving things?
Michael, you're not in on this dirty business with her, are you?
If that's really the case, I truly look down on you!"
After saying this with disgust, she looked at the Hall siblings again. "I'll ask you one last time - are you sure you won't let me in to save Mr. Hall? There's an error in one set of formula data in the Johnson Group's special medicine, causing a reversal effect.
When patients take it, there are no problems at first, but after a certain time, they'll experience respiratory shock and heart damage.
If you miss the best treatment window, it will be too late!"
Hearing this, John felt somewhat uncertain.
But Grace said coldly, "No need to trouble yourself, Ms. Smith."
Seeing the other party's unhesitating disgust, Olivia's eyes turned ice-cold. "Fine. I hope you won't regret this."
With that, she said no more and turned to leave.
As she walked, she pulled out her phone again, preparing to explain the situation to Andrew.
Sophia watched her departing figure with the look of a victor.
Ha, Olivia, you think you can compete with me? You're not worthy!
Just as she was secretly gloating, suddenly a middle-aged man stumbled out from inside the Hall residence.
He looked like the butler.
As soon as he came out, he said in alarm, "Mr. John Hall, Ms. Hall, something terrible has happened! Mr. George Hall suddenly went into shock and lost consciousness. What should we do?
Just now when I checked his breathing and heartbeat, they seemed to have almost stopped!"
"What did you say?"
John's face changed drastically.
Just now... what Olivia said had come true?
Grace was also stunned.
How could this be?
Michael and Sophia were also shocked.
This was impossible...
He had been fine just moments ago. How could he coincidentally go into shock?
While everyone was in shock, John reacted fastest. He rushed to Olivia in a few steps and said, "Dr. Smith, please wait... you just said you could save my grandfather? Could you please help and save his life!"
Olivia had obviously heard what was just said.
She remained expressionless and said coldly, "If I remember correctly, you just refused me."
John knew that their behavior earlier had offended Olivia and immediately apologized, "We were blind just now and wrongly accused you. Please forgive us."
The butler also rushed over and asked, "Are you Dr. Smith? The Dr. Smith that Mr. Hamilton recommended? This is wonderful!
He called tonight to tell us that a miracle doctor was coming to treat Mr. George Hall and that we absolutely must not be disrespectful!"
