Chapter 316 Fight

“I got someone to contact those people too, but I heard that White’s apprentices stopped practicing after White

passed away.” Sorrow flashed across Benjamin’s gaze as he spoke. Of course, they wouldn’t have had to put in this

much effort if it weren’t for the fact that Benedict’s condition was worsening.

Olivia felt rather frustrated upon hearing Benjamin’s statement. “Perhaps White’s apprentices were faking it all

along. They used to depend on their master—that’s why none of them dare to practice on their own now that their

master is gone. They simply aren’t skilled!”

Nicole pressed her lips together and scoffed to herself when she heard Olivia’s offensive comments. During Nicole’s

first year there, she had indeed played the role of White’s assistant. But as time passed, Nicole started performing

a few surgeries, while White only observed to ensure that nothing went wrong.

White had an excellent eye for talent—Nicole no longer needed White’s supervision after two years, and she

completed all sorts of complicated surgeries independently. However, she hadn’t been able to reveal her true

identity as she was still working with F&M Apparel back then.

“Let’s just try to find White’s apprentices for now. We can look around for other doctors as well,” Benjamin uttered

with a sigh. Then, all of a sudden, Anna spun her head to look at Julia as she seemed to recall something. “I recall

your master being affiliated with White somehow, Julia. Do you know any of White’s apprentices?”

Suddenly, Julia was stunned to hear her name at the dining table. “No!” She hastily shook her head. There was a

look of guilt in her eyes. She realized she might have been too quick to say no, so she quickly explained herself.

“White might have known my master, but they weren’t too close. They’ve only met a couple of times. I don’t know

his apprentices at all,” she uttered.

Anna gazed at Julia suspiciously. “Are you sure?” she asked. Julia immediately nodded. “Yeah. I don’t know any of

White’s apprentices.” Since Julia insisted on her answer, Anna decided she wouldn’t push Julia further.

Nonetheless, Olivia could tell that something wasn’t right as well. So, she spoke up without any hesitation. “Now’s

not the time to keep secrets. Old Mr. Benedict’s illness can’t drag on like this. You need to tell us if you know one of

them!”

Julia’s face turned pale. As a doctor, she knew they couldn’t afford to delay Benedict’s treatment, but as Nicole’s

friend, she knew how much White’s death had impacted Nicole.

“I… don’t know,” Julia whispered.

Olivia could sense that Julia was lying, and she thought that Julia wanted to seize this opportunity to ask for some

money. “You should just tell us what you know, especially since Old Mr. Benedict’s life is in danger.

So, why are you hiding the truth? Did we not give you enough money?” she asked in a rude tone. Olivia was being

exceptionally straightforward and impolite toward Julia, perhaps because she was projecting all the annoyance she

felt toward Nicole onto Julia.

Julia’s face turned stark white when she heard Olivia’s words. Richard knew that Olivia’s words had been too harsh

when he saw the look on Julia’s face, so he hastily spoke up for Julia. “Julia would tell you if she knew something. You

don’t have to be so harsh.”

Olivia scoffed and rolled her eyes at Richard. “I wonder who taught you to be so rude to your seniors. Hmph.”

A faint smile surfaced on Richard’s face, and he looked directly into Olivia’s eyes as he retorted, “That’s true. I bet

Old Mr. Benedict would’ve been doing better if you hadn’t triggered his temper.”

“You—” Olivia was about to start a fight when Benjamin cleared his throat and frowned at Olivia. “That’s enough.

Stop fighting. Will you only feel satisfied after fighting with everyone here?!”

Olivia held her tongue back as she gave Richard a cold scoff before looking away. The Jenkins Family was pretty

wealthy themselves, and Richard was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so he had never had to compromise

with others since he was young.

He stood up and held his hand out to hold Julia’s arm. “I’m afraid we won’t be able to have a peaceful meal today,

Uncle and Aunt Gardner. Julia and I will leave now. We’ll visit Grandpa some other day.”
