Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 335 White’s Protégé

After hearing the remarks made by the man earlier, Nicole followed the sound of his voice and shifted her gaze

toward him.

Staring at the man from top to bottom, she thought to herself, This man is neither tall nor short and has a slight

middle-aged spread. With that pair of black-rimmed glasses on his face, he looks kind of silly when he smiles.

At the same time, Queenie stood by Pierre’s side and not once did she utter a word. Even so, there was a smile on

her face.

“It’s unnecessary,” Anna rejected coldly.

Just like Olivia, she had also thought of inviting Pierre over to the Gardner Residence and checked on Benedict’s

condition before. However, in the beginning, Colton stopped her from doing so and Nicole later informed Anna that

Pierre wasn’t the right doctor to treat Benedict.

For that reason alone, Anna had some doubts about Pierre. Hence, she specifically hired someone to look up on the

information relating to Pierre.

To Anna’s surprise, she discovered that Pierre’s medical ethics were tremendously poor after she conducted a little

in-depth investigation. Furthermore, she even found that a patient had previously posted an article on the Internet

to denounce him.

However, there was nothing more the patient could do since a medical liability waiver would be signed between a

patient or a patient’s family and the doctor, regardless of the degree of the surgery. Therefore, Pierre had nothing

to lose and would not be held accountable even if the patient died.

Pierre feigned innocence when he saw Anna’s cold rejection and asked with a smile, “Mrs. Gardner, not to sound

too boastful, but I’m still relevant in this country regardless. So I’m quite curious. When or where did I ever offend

you that you’re interfering with my affairs in every way you can right now?”

At this point, Olivia was even more unhappy. Hence, she directly pointed at Anna and yelled, “Anna! Judging from

Dad’s condition, we can’t delay his treatment anymore! He must undergo the surgery promptly! As for that illusory

White’s protégé of yours, tell me: where are you going to find her?”

When Anna heard Olivia’s words, her facial expression faintly darkened. Nevertheless, she still blocked Olivia’s path

forcibly. Trying her best to explain to Olivia, she said, “Colton is already looking for the protégé. Dad’s illness will be

cured once he’s able to reach out to the protégé.”

With that, she looked straight at Pierre and intimidated the man. Since Anna was the eldest born lady from a

prestigious family, it was no surprise that she carried a complete natural deterrence. “Also, do I still have to find a

reason if I found you to be displeasing to my eyes?”

Pierre, who initially had a smile on his face, immediately pulled a long face after he heard Anna’s words.

“Anna, stop being tenacious in this matter, will you? If Colton is really able to find White’s protégé, let her come, but

the point now is that he can’t reach out to her,” Olivia said sternly.

Then, she snorted, squinted her eyes and continued, “White’s protégé, huh? No doubt White was renowned back

then, but we don’t even know the medical expertise of his protégé. From what I see, she’s nothing but a mere

coward who latched onto her master’s fame. Not only that, but she’s also reluctant to show herself now. Tell me:

how much of an expert can she be?!”

Nicole, who was listening on the sideline, could no longer stand Olivia’s spiteful remarks. Therefore, she came forth

and said at once, “Who said she wouldn’t show up?”

When Pierre heard a female voice, he looked up habitually. Once his gaze laid upon Nicole, a trace of peculiarity

flashed across his eyes. This woman in front looks rather familiar. I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before, but I

can’t really remember when or where I have seen her.

Likewise, Olivia also turned to look at Nicole the moment she heard her voice. After seeing Nicole, she immediately

snorted and asked with disdain, “Do you think you have the right to speak here?”

Ignoring the disdainful tone in Olivia’s voice, Nicole didn’t answer her and continued with a serious demeanor, “I

have reached out to White’s protégé.”

Once Anna heard Nicole’s words, she hastily went forward and came to her side. With a tint of urgency painted

across her face, she asked, “Nicole, is it true? Is it true that you’ve found White’s protégé?”

Nicole nodded. “Yes.”

Meanwhile, Olivia took a glance at Nicole. Then, she glanced behind Nicole again. Once she was certain that there

was no one behind her, she sneered, “What’s the matter? Do you think we’ll believe that you actually found White’s

protégé merely from your words? The least you can do is to bring the person here.”

Instantly, Nicole’s eyes darkened. Clenching her fists tightly, she looked down and thought for a while before

starting to speak, “I’ve already talked to her, and she told me she’ll be here next week.”

“You’re not lying to me, are you?” Olivia asked, looking doubtful.

Seeing this, Queenie took the chance and said in an exaggerated manner, “Sis, could it possibly be that you speak

thoughtlessly just so you can take credit? It’s White’s protégé that we’re talking about. Even the Gardner Family has

a hard time finding the person, yet you’re telling us that you did?”
