Chapter 250 Go Seek Isabella
Chase always felt that the construction industry had far better prospects than the jewelry business. As long as he could keep the Taylor Group in his hands, that was enough. So when Hayden said he wanted to give Celestial Jewels to Isabella, Chase couldn't even be bothered to stop him.
"But Chase, if you help me, what am I supposed to do?" Casey said anxiously.
He really hadn't expected things to turn out this way. He'd always thought Isabella's management of Celestial Jewels was just temporary.
"That's your own problem to deal with," Chase said coldly. "Maybe if you go beg Isabella, there's a chance she'll show mercy and not fire you."
"What?"
Casey's face darkened.
Go beg Isabella?
When had he fallen so low that he needed to beg Isabella? But Celestial Jewels paid him a high annual salary that other jewelry companies couldn't match. He'd just gambled away all his savings on gem authentication. If he really got fired, what would he live on in his old age?
At this critical point, it seemed he had no choice but to beg Isabella.
After all, nothing was more important than money.
Casey left the Taylor Group and called Isabella.
But she didn't pick up.
Casey got anxious and called again.
Still no answer.
Casey gritted his teeth!
That bitch Isabella was really putting on airs. He was ready to beg her, and she wouldn't even answer the phone!
She was clearly doing this on purpose!
He kept dialing, and finally, the call went through.
"Ms. Taylor." Casey suppressed his hatred for Isabella and spoke pleasantly. "About what happened before, I was wrong. But saying you're going to fire me, isn't that a bit too harsh? I'll work hard for you from now on..."
Before he could finish, he heard Isabella's cold voice say, "Casey, even without all those previous incidents, you're someone Chase left behind. There's no way I can use you. Let's part on good terms."
Casey's expression changed. "What do you mean? What do you mean you can't use me because I'm someone Chase left behind? Are you doing this on purpose? You're just looking for an excuse to fire me!"
That bitch Isabella!
He'd already apologized to her, and she was still putting on airs.
How disgusting!
Casey was furious, gritting his teeth. "I already said I'd work hard for you and follow your orders! What more do you want?"
"Casey, I've made myself very clear. I can't use anyone he left behind, whether it's you or other senior management in the company. I'm going to replace everyone!"
Isabella hung up after saying that.
Casey's eyes widened as he heard the call disconnect. "Ms. Taylor! Ms. Taylor..."
He dialed again, but Isabella had already blocked him.
Casey realized he'd really been completely fired, his face turning pale like never before.
——
On the other side, after blocking Casey, Isabella boarded a flight from Veridian to Lumaria.
William went with her.
Alton and Tyrell were also traveling with them.
After boarding the plane and settling into their first-class seats, William said, "I've found the brain specialist you asked me to look for your grandmother."
Last time, Isabella had asked Austin to find out about a doctor who had successfully pioneered this type of brain tumor surgery, so she'd asked William to help her track down that doctor.
"Who is it?" Isabella asked.
William raised an eyebrow. "Funny enough, the doctor you're looking for is Soren's younger brother, Theodore."
"Theodore is a true medical genius. The surgery you mentioned was pioneered by him."
"Can you help me get an appointment with him?"
William nodded. "No problem. Since he's Soren's brother, with that connection, I don't think he'll refuse."
"That's great." Isabella was naturally happy.
If it could be cured, Jessa could live more than ten years longer than in her previous life.
Isabella had spent over ten years without parents or family. The important people around her were just a few - besides her mentor, there was Jessa. She sincerely hoped Jessa could live to a hundred.
William suggested, "If you're not tired, I'll take you to meet Theodore tonight. He's already analyzed your grandmother's medical records and says there are some things he needs to discuss with you in person."
"No problem, I'm not tired."
She also wanted to meet Theodore as soon as possible and arrange surgery for Jessa quickly.
——
After getting off the plane, Isabella went to the hospital with William to meet the doctor William had mentioned.
She just didn't expect it to be a familiar face.
"You're Isabella?" Theodore walked over in his white coat. Seeing the girl standing next to William, he was surprised that William would find such a young woman as his girlfriend.
Isabella smiled at him. "I've seen you before."
Theodore was somewhat surprised. "You've seen me?"
"Yes, last time I came to the hospital with a friend, we crossed paths in the elevator. You seemed to be discussing surgery with another doctor, and I was standing behind you."
Theodore didn't remember. "I might not have noticed you."
"That's okay, totally normal. But something happened at your hospital that day - a doctor got stabbed by a patient's family member. You remember that, right?"
Theodore naturally remembered. Such medical dispute incidents happened countless times every year, and that one was quite serious.
"I heard from security that the person was relentless and almost killed Dr. Xu. Luckily a girl came out and subdued him..."
Theodore had a sudden realization. "That girl wasn't you, was it?"
"Yes, it was me."
Theodore looked at Isabella with newfound respect. "You're very brave, and you have good skills."
"Just doing what I could."
William listened to their conversation, his brow furrowing slightly.
When had Isabella done something so dangerous behind his back, and how did he not know anything about it?
She really wouldn't let him have peace of mind.
Seeing William's somewhat gloomy expression, Theodore thought he was jealous and was a bit shocked. "No way, Mr. Brown, are you jealous just because I talked to your girlfriend for a few minutes?"
William pressed his lips together. "I'm not jealous."
How could he be that petty?
Before Theodore could say anything else, William said directly, "Let's talk business."
Theodore put his hands in his white coat pockets and led them to his office. "Let's sit down and talk."
In the office, Theodore pulled out the medical records William had brought him earlier, glanced at them, then said to Isabella, "I've already understood your grandmother's basic situation, and after she transferred hospitals, I did a new examination. I found a rather serious problem."
Isabella's expression immediately became tense. "What problem?"
"Your grandmother's condition isn't just about the brain tumor. I can perform cranial surgery to remove the tumor with a ninety-nine percent success rate. But in her case, I also discovered a virus - medically known as the Edra virus."
