Chapter 291

In front of Richard she could not show any discontent. She put on a forced smile and said, “I must have

been mistaken. Vivienne’s medical skills are indeed beyond common reach

Even she would have to weigh her options about whether she could complete this operation

“Of course Richard snorted as he cast a sidelong glance at her ‘Don’t you see how excellent our

Vivienne is? There’s nothing she can’t do!”

She was the youngest to ever top the college entrance test, a dual PhD holder, a master in fragrance

creation, a design genius, and a medical prodigy Calista felt blinded by the numerous accolades

Vivienne had

Calistas envy was so intense that she could barely maintain her smile. She was struggling to suppress

her anger. “Since Vivienne is so capable, why not join me at the medical conference at the end of the

month?”

Why did Vivienne have to excel at everything and gamer all the praise and honors?

She was determined to not let Vivienne have her way.

Medicine was her field, and she had the backing of her prestigious family background, something

Vivienne could never compete with

Moreover, she had published numerous medical papers and had established a name for herself in the

industry, yet she had never heard of Vivienne

If Richard’s surgery was successful, it was all thanks to Vivienne’s luck. Once research projects were

involved, Calista was confident that she could secure a resounding victory

“I won’t go “Vivienne replied, showing no emotion.

“You don’t have to be polite with me” Calista thought she was feigning refusal, so she warmly tried to

persuade her. “This conference has a high threshold not everyone can participate For Mr Ellington’s

sake, I can secure a slot for you, Vivienne

“Is that so?” Vivienne lightly nodded, showing an indifferent reaction. “It’s a shame I’m not interested”

Did she think she would care about a medical conference? Such an opportunity might be precious to

Calista, but to her, it wasn’t a big deal.

“That’s night Vivienne isn’t interested, and neither are we Richard unconditionally sided with Vivienne

“Calista, don’t waste your time here. You’d better focus on your project and not delay the progress”

“And you two “Richard’s tone shifted. He turned to Ryan and Cathy, who had been silent all this time.

“Stop picking on Vivienne! As long as I’m alive for one more day, I won’t let you bully Viviennel”

“Dad” Cathy protested “We’re just worried about your health, in case.

Richard didn’t let her finish. “There’s no in case With Vivienne here, my health won’t be an issue. If you

have a problem with Vivienne, then you have a problem with me! If you want me to throw you out of the

house, feel free to target Vivienne

Having been addressed so bluntly by Richard, Ryan and Cathy had nothing to say.

Fearing that he would be kicked out if he said anything more, Ryan quickly left, dragging Cathy with

him.

Calista couldn’t believe that Richard trusted Vivienne this much, but the facts were in front of her, and

she had to accept it

“Calista” Richard lifted his eyes to look at her before closing them again. “You’re not welcome here.

Please leave

Calista was always well received, especially among elders

Now that Richard was treating her this way, she couldn’t help but feel a bit miffed

“Well then, Richard, I leave you to rest” Calista suppressed her anger and spoke in a calm tone. “I’ll

come to see you another day”

She couldn’t show weakness in front of Vivienne. She couldn’t let her see the jealousy that was itching

away at her confidence.

However she didn’t realize that Richard and Vivienne didn’t think much of her. They felt that even one

extra glance at her was a waste of time. They even cared less about her feelings

Calista left the room in a daze and ran into Percival, who was returning

Percivals face darkened Why was she still here?

Running into Percival, whom she adored lit a spark of hope in her eyes.

She believed that no one in her age group could compare to her in medicine. As long as she had the

research project, he would definitely pay attention to her

There has been significant progress in the project you gave me recently. When will you come to the lab

to see the results?”

“Okay” Percival replied coldy Ill send someone to check

His mentor’s unfinished research was a regret in Percival’s heart. He hoped to complete this project for

her, but he didn’t want to have too much contact with

His sweetheam had marked her territory He naturally disliked anyone Vivienne wasn’t fond of and

wouldn’t treat them nicely either.

He said he would send someone to check instead of going himself, which disappointed Calista

But you personally handed this project over to me She said feeling discontented ‘Others won’t

understand its importance

had appointed her as the person in charge surply because he valued her atalities and intelligence

Calista felt that she must have had a special place in his heart that was incomparable to anyone else

Only the knew what he wanted and understood the profound meaning behind this research

Percival’s cold gaze slowly swept over her face Dont make me repeat myself

His gaze made Calista feel as if she had fallen into an abyss. She saw indifference alienation, and an

unreachable distance in his eyes

understand She had no choice but to agree pick up her handbag and leave

When Percival returned to the room. Videnne had already lulled the old man back to sleep

Upon seeing Percival walk in she glanced up at him. then averted her gaze

His deat Vivance seemed to be upset but he couldn’t tell what was bothering her

Vinente Fercial idied up to her pulling her into a comforting embrace What’s the matter?”

Vivienne wasn’t one for beating around the bush. She asked him outright. “Did you give my mother’s

research to Calista?”

She had heard rumors but couldn’t confirm them. Although a simple investigation would reveal the

truth, she wanted to hear it from Percival himself

“Yes Percival admitted, noticing her displeasure if it upsets you. I can take the project back.”

The reason he had chosen Calista in the first place was merely because she was a young member of

the Pendleton clan who had a decent background in medicine

If his Vivienne was upset over this, he wouldn’t hesitate to drop Calista

“It’s fine” Vivienne leaned into Percival’s embrace feeling his warmth envelope her “Let her continue

with the research

Vivienne had long since completed her mother’s work and had even expanded upon it

Whatever results Calista might produce would be irrelevant to her. She was already miles ahead

Percival bent down to kiss her forehead “Whatever you say goes” He said with a tone full of

tenderness.

Just as the two were enjoying their rare moment of solitude, the hospital room door was abruptly

pushed open.

Her eight disciples, all but Leopold marched in. After seeing Vivienne nestled in Percival’s arms, they

became livid. Their faces turned a deep shade of red, they were practically foaming at the mouth

“What do you think you’re doing? Release Vivienne immediately
