Chapter 101
Yvonne raised her gaze, her expressions filled with astonishment as she looked at Daniel. The smile at the corner of her mouth seemed a bit forced. It was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
Yvonne found it hard to believe that there was someone in this world. who would actually refuse such a precious pill.
Yvonne forced herself to calm down and forced a smile, Yvonne then spoke with an innocent and curious tone, “Mr. Sullivan, have you perhaps misunderstood something?”
Before Daniel could respond, Yvonne spoke again, “Daniel, you surely are not misunderstanding that I have any interest in you, are you? I, Yvonne Sheeran, have my pride. I would never shamelessly cling to someone who does not regard me well. I gave Mrs. Sullivan the precious pill because I share a good rapport with her, nothing more. I kindly ask you not to presume things!”
As Yvonne spoke, she kept her gaze lowered, her voice calm yet carrying a hint of coldness. Yvonne’s expression was distant, exuding an air of purity and inviolability, like an untouchable goddess of chastity.
“Ms. Yvonne, it is best if there is no intention.” Daniel’s lips curved into at smile. His left hand slid into his pocket, his voice chilling. “I hope you remember what you have said today.”
He was not willing to say more. Engaging in a verbal battle with a woman was both undignified and meaningless.
Daniel had never liked to talk much. He preferred actions over words. Seeing this, Yvonne’s expression turned sour. She had not expected Daniel to be this diflicult to handle. The path of approaching through parents, taking an indirect approach, had always been the most reliable method.
If Yvonne had any intentions toward Daniel, she would not have directly confronted Olivia in front of Daniel, knowing it would displease Daniel. The best approach to deal with Olivia was through leveraging Isabella and pressuring Olivia to leave.
Unfortunately, everything that was carefully planned seemed futile in front of Daniel. Daniel did not adhere to the expected norms and played by his own rules.
Thinking of this, Yvonne’s heart was filled with hatred.
She had never seen a man so lacking in etiquette, actually causing embarrassment to a woman who openly pursued him.
Was Daniel still a man? With Yvonne’s looks, wealth, and powerful connections, how could Daniel not be moved by a woman like Yvonne?
Yvonne’s eyes darkened, and while Yvonne maintained her calm exterior, a murderous intent had already stirred within Yvonne towards Olivia,
This woman was really in the way. Yvonne had to get rid of Olivia,
Just as she was plotting against Olivia, Yvonne’s phone suddenly rang beside her. Yvonne glanced at the caller ID and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Did Yvonne not tell Yunice not to call her again? If there was nothing important, they would never contact each other.
Why was Yunice calling Yvonne at this time?
Yvonne casually declined it. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
However, not long after Yvonne declined the call, the phone rang again.
Yvonne frowned and was wondering if she should pick the call.
Daniel, on the opposite side, suddenly smiled, his deep eyes shimmering with emotions that were hard to fathom. “Go ahead. It might be something important.”
Yvonne glanced at Daniel, picked up her phone, and answered the call.
The call was connected, and from the other end came Yunice’s angry questioning. “You bitch, you have ruined me! Did you not say that Olivia has no backing and that the Taylor family does not care about her?” Yvonne glanced at the eyes of everyone around, held her composure, and replied in a low voice, “I did not lie to you!”
“I am telling you, I am screwed!” Yunice roared. “There is trouble at the hotel, and I cannot stay in Evervale anymore. You better figure out a way to settle me, or do not blame me for being heartless. I have evidence of all the things you have done!”
With a sudden change in Yvonne’s expression, Yvonne’s face turned pale, struggling to control her emotions. Yvonne took a deep breath to calm herself before asking, “What exactly happened?” How could things have turned out like this? She had meticulously planned everything. How did it all go wrong?
“What is going on?” Yunice’s voice was cold and tinged with a bitter laugh. Yunice’s eyes burned with anger. “If I had stirred up trouble with the Taylor family, I would not have been afraid. But do you know who I offended? It is Daniel Sullivan! You crazy woman, why mess with Daniel? And you dragged me into this mess, making it impossible for me to stay in Evervale. If it were not for my connections here, I would not even have a chance to leave alive!”
“Yvonne, you have caused me a lot of trouble! Do you understand?” Yunice shouted.
Years of effort and accumulation had been turned into nothing in an instant. If it were not for the fact that Yunice would need to rely on Yvonne in the future, Yunice would definitely want to destroy Yvonne! Upon hearing the name “Daniel Sullivan,” Yvonne felt like she was struck by lightning. Yvonne’s blood surged through her body, rushing to her head and almost making Yvonne lose her balance.
Yvonne said, “I will contact you later.” Then she hung up the phone, lifting her gaze directly to Daniel.
Daniel did not seem to notice Yvonne’s fear and even smiled at Yvonne, a smile so bright that it sent a chill down Yvonne’s spine despite its apparent warmth.
This man was too terrifying!
Yvonne stood up, clutching the precious pill tightly. Her expression, once resolute, now turned bitter as she whispered, “I will be leaving first.” Isabella was surprised as she gazed at Yvonne, standing up and about to speak. But then, Isabella’s expression tightened, her face turned pale, and she took two steps back before collapsing onto the sofa.
“Mrs. Sullivan!”
“Aunt Isabella!”
“Mrs. Sullivan!”
Cries of astonishment rang out, and Daniel reacted swiftly. He immediately instructed a servant to fetch a pill.
After taking the pill, Isabella’s complexion gradually improved. Her chest and mouth no longer heaved violently, but she still had not regained consciousness.
Seeing the situation, Daniel promptly made a decision. “Someone, take Mrs. Sullivan to the hospital.”
Bathonaire’s Missing Darling
Standing aside, Yvonne watched the eyes tightly closed Isabella with her expression cold. Yvonne had no intention of getting involved. After all, Daniel’s words made it clear that he had no interest in her.
Yvonne did not want to do anything useless. The renowned doctor was too valuable to her. The renowned doctor was Yvonne’s trump card and she would not use it easily.
However, she suddenly thought of Yunice that he had already been exposed. Daniel would sooner or later trace back to Yvonne. It might be a better idea to save Isabella’s life, letting Daniel owe Yvonne a favor. This way, Yvonne would not have to worry about her secrets being exposed. With this in mind, a subtle smile curved on Yvonne’s lips.
And then Yvonne put on a concerned expression and said, her tone urgent, “I have some precious pills here. Maybe you should take some.”
With the life of Isabella on the line, Daniel did not refuse. Seeing this, Yvonne seemed even more assured. Yvonne took out a tenth of the precious pill and fed it to Isabella.
As expected of a divine pill. After taking it for less than three minutes, Isabella slowly woke up.
“Mrs. Sullivan is awake. She is awake!” Aunt Lilian from the Sullivan family exclaimed. Everyone looked over with surprised expressions.
Daniel heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing Daniel’s expression, Yvonne felt a sense of accomplishment and decided to make her offer even greater. “Rather than waiting for the right moment, it is better to seize the moment. I will invite the renowned. doctor to come over right away and treat Mrs. Sullivan.”
Hearing this, Isabella was pleasantly surprised. Isabella held Yvonne’s hand and asked, “Are you serious?”
“Of course.” Yvonne glanced at Olivia from the corner of her eye smug expression.
Olivia remained calm and did not take Yvonne seriously. Olivia just carefully observed Isabella’s complexion and observed Isabella’s reaction. Not seeing Olivia’s uncomfortable expression, Yvonne was dissatisfied. and asked directly, “What are you looking at, Olivia? Why did you not react when Mrs. Sullivan fainted just now?”
As soon as Yvonne finished speaking, everyone’s gazes immediately focused on Olivia..
Isabella also looked at Olivia. With Isabella’s years of experience, she understood the situation. Seeing how Daniel was protecting Olivia, Isabella knew that Daniel truly cared for Olivia. To maintain Daniel’s dignity, Isabella would not create a scene in public.
However, looking at Yvonne, it was obvious that Yvonne was determined to embarrass Olivia.
Isabella immediately fell into a dilemma. She hesitated for a moment. and quickly made a decision. Nothing was more important than her health.
Isabella followed Yvonne’s words, her face showing a hint of displeasure. “Ms. Taylor would not hold a grudge against me, would you?”
Isabella’s words were cut off before she could finish as Olivia’s cold and decisive voice interrupted, “I can cure your illness.”
Daniel definitely cared about Mrs, Sullivan,
And Mrs. Sullivan, in harmony with Yvonne, was making things difficult for Olivia. The people present were all sharp–minded individuals, well aware of the situation. They watched with wide eyes, discreetly waiting to witness Olivia’s embarrassment, seeing her being challenged by Mrs. Sullivan.
In the end, in the midst of this tense atmosphere, Olivia actually claimed that she could cure Mrs. Sullivan’s illness!
The room instantly fell into silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, an ceric stillness enveloping the atmosphere, as if in a soundless.
Vacuum.
After a while, a sudden sneer broke the silence in the room.
The one laughing was Yvonne, her fingers gripping the box containing the precious pill. Yvonne tilted her head and looked at Olivia with a teasing tone, “Olivia, your words are quite amusing. If you are skilled in medicine, why did you not rush to help when Mrs. Sullivan fainted just now? Waiting until Mrs. Sullivan regained consciousness and then claiming you can cure her. Is that not like being a hindsight strategist?” Olivia paid no attention to Yvonne’s taunts. Olivia simply gazed at Mrs. Sullivan, Olivia’s eyes fixed unwaveringly on Mrs. Sullivan’s face, observing Mrs. Sullivan’s expression closely.
Not noticing any change in Olivia’s expression, Yvonne’s irritation grew stronger. She let out a soft snort and said, “You must have learned a few days from your medical expert grandfather and now think you are a master healer. Mrs. Sullivan is not your experimental subject.”
At this moment, Mrs. Sullivan’s niece, Grayson, who had been silent all along, spoke up. Grayson glanced at Olivia and disapproved, saying, “When it comes to Mrs. Sullivan’s health, it is not the place for the two of you to fight, especially you!”
Grayson glanced disdainfully at Olivia, Grayson’s expression full of disgust. “If you want to please Mrs. Sullivan, there is plenty of time for that. Do not joke about Mrs. Sullivan’s health. The doctors who usually examine her pulse are renowned physicians with decades of clinical experience. Who are you, daring to boast about such things?”
Grayson represented Mrs. Sullivan, and her words reflected Mrs. Sullivan’s thoughts. Seeing her stance, other people also chimed in, reprimanding Olivia: “This is outrageous! Do you think this is some village where any quack doctor can diagnose Mrs. Sullivan’s illness? Mrs. Sullivan’s health is extremely valuable. It is not something that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can treat.”
Some of the elder members, relying on their seniority, criticized Daniel, “Look at the kind of girlfriend you have found. This is outrageous and arrogant.”
Daniel Sullivan raised his gaze, and a gentle sweep of his eyes silenced the speaker instantly, making them shrink back and fall silent.
The others did not dare to speak again, but they looked at Olivia with. dissatisfaction.
“What kind of joke was this? Did Olivia think she was a genius? How dare Olivia boast that she could treat illnesses? What a joke. Thinking herself as the renowned doctor?” They thought.
Daniel remained silent, and the butler, Mr. Brown, noticed Daniel’s. expression. Mr. Brown instantly felt anxious because he understood. Daniel’s thoughts. It seemed that Daniel was really considering letting Miss Olivia treat the illness.
This was no child’s play!
Mr. Brown looked worried and thought, “Even if Miss Olivia understood. medicine, there was no guarantee she could cure Mrs. Sullivan. They did not have any medicines or medical equipment here. How could Olivia diagnose and treat an illness?”
“Moreover, what if Miss Olivia could not cure Mrs. Sullivan? With so many people present, if news of Olivia’s failure spread, it would undoubtedly damage Miss Olivia’s reputation. How would Daniel continue to be with Miss Olivia then?” Mr. Brown thought.
With these thoughts in mind, Mr. Brown spoke up before Daniel could, saying, “Mrs. Sullivan’s condition cannot be delayed. It is better to invite the renowned doctor over as soon as possible.” Afterward, Mr. Brown’s gaze seemed to hint at something as he glanced at Daniel, subtly suggesting, “An experienced renowned doctor would ensure success
