Chapter 118
Sabrina gave Jordan a sweet smile and took his business card somewhat eagerly: "Hello, Mr. Howard! My name is Sabrina, and Charlotte is my sister."
Jordan's smile faded a bit: "Hello, just call me Jordan."
Sabrina was slightly taken aback, but quickly said obediently: "Okay."
At that moment, Alexander beside them seemed to suddenly remember something: "You're a cardiology specialist? Perfect, take a look at Sabrina."
Jordan glanced at Sabrina: "Is Sabrina having heart problems?"
Just as Sabrina was about to give Jordan a vague answer, Alexander anxiously answered for her: "Yes, she had a serious illness last year. After being discharged, she went back home to recover for a while, but she still gets chest tightness and fainting spells easily when she gets emotional."
Jordan frowned in thought.
Charlotte, however, was too lazy to keep playing along with Sabrina's act. Using the excuse of catching up with Keith, she pulled Philip away and left directly.
Seeing Charlotte leave, Landon, who had been mostly quiet, also said he was going to pay his respects to the former president.
Watching Charlotte and the other two leave, Jordan seemed to remember something at that moment: "How about this - tomorrow is Monday, bring Sabrina to the hospital and I'll give her a thorough examination."
After saying this, Jordan quickly left as well.
Sabrina watched his retreating figure, lost in thought.
Alexander couldn't contain his happiness: "Sabrina, Jordan is very authoritative in this field. It looks like there's hope for your condition."
Sabrina forced a smile: "Really? That's wonderful."
On the other side, Charlotte led Philip straight to Keith.
"Keith."
Seeing Charlotte, Keith showed a kind smile: "Charlotte, you finally came. I was just worried you wouldn't show up."
Charlotte smiled playfully, which was rare for her: "I promised I would, so of course I came."
Keith looked at Charlotte with eyes full of approval: "You look beautiful. You should have dressed like this sooner."
Then he suddenly lowered his voice: "Earlier, Alexander brought Sabrina around, introducing her to everyone and saying she's Lynn's daughter. If I wasn't worried about affecting you, I would have exposed her true identity right then and there!"
"Now it's good that you're here. I'll take you around and also to meet the former president, so everyone knows who Lynn's real daughter is."
Charlotte readily agreed: "Okay, I was just thinking I should personally wish the former president a happy birthday."
The former president, Maurice Walker, was over sixty years old. Hearing Keith's introduction and learning that Charlotte was actually Lynn's daughter, he felt genuinely pleased: "You really look like Lynn."
Charlotte took out the antique pocket watch and scented candle she had prepared.
"Mr. Walker, this is a pocket watch my grandfather collected years ago. I hope you like it."
Maurice accepted it with delight: "I've heard of Mr. Talbot's reputation for a long time. Today I finally have the honor of seeing something from his collection."
Charlotte gave Keith a glance: "Mr. Walker, Keith told me you haven't been sleeping well lately, so I had someone specially prepare a sleep-aid scented candle for you."
"Try it first, and let me know if it works."
Obviously, the candle pleased Maurice more.
After all, the insomnia she was experiencing was too hard to bear.
Maurice happily accepted it and even praised Keith: "Keith is so thoughtful, always thinking of me."
Charlotte knew Keith wasn't good at taking credit, so she quickly added: "Mr. Walker is right. Keith may not be good at expressing himself, but his work and character are the most reliable."
With this, Maurice looked at Keith with even more meaningful eyes.
After the two left, Keith said gratefully: "I'm already this old, yet I still need you to worry about me."
Charlotte waved her hand: "Keith, that's too formal. Actually, I have my own reasons too."
"Sabrina has already teamed up with Quentin to work against us. Undermining him is the same as undermining Sabrina."
"Besides, Quentin is inferior to you in both ability and character. If he really becomes president, the association will probably fall into chaos soon."
Keith nodded in agreement: "You're right, Quentin really isn't a good person."
"Forget it, let's not talk about him. It's annoying! Let me take you to meet some other people."
Then Keith led Charlotte around the venue.
Most people in the association who were Lynn's peers had seen Charlotte before, but after so many years, they really didn't recognize her at first.
Initially, they just thought Charlotte was exceptionally beautiful, but they didn't expect she was actually Lynn's biological daughter.
After their surprise, some people remembered Sabrina, who had been by Alexander's side earlier.
"Charlotte, earlier Mr. Alexander Forbes said the girl with him was also Lynn's daughter?"
Charlotte's face turned serious: "That's impossible. My mom only had one daughter - me."
The person understood, and when they saw Sabrina again, their eyes held a hint of contempt. So she was actually the daughter born to that mistress from the Spencer family.
And she had the nerve to say she was Lynn's daughter? How shameless.
Soon, Sabrina's true identity was completely exposed.
Sabrina quickly noticed the change in how others treated her. When she learned the truth from Quentin, she was so angry she almost crushed her wine glass.
But Quentin seemed completely unconcerned: "Getting angry over such a small thing isn't worth it."
"You need to understand - people smile at you because of the Forbes Group, not because of Lynn. Lynn is just a name."
"Remember, what you need to do now is work hard. When you become successful, no one will remember who your mother was. They'll only remember you, Sabrina."
Sabrina had an epiphany and let out a breath of relief with a smile: "I understand . Thank you."
Quentin nodded with satisfaction: "Good that you know."
Sabrina's heart finally relaxed a bit, but she still had another matter on her mind that needed to be resolved quickly.
