Chapter 1550
"Then... What is going on?" Maria was perplexed.
"It's nothing serious. People die and disappear every day in this world. We are here to talk about the
vaccine development project. Uncle Cameron, you shouldn't stray so far from the subject," Rhea stated
without concern.
When she said this, Fabian, who was starting to get suspicious, suddenly returned to his senses. "Yes,
Ron, she's right. That missing man's affairs have nothing to do with us. We're here to talk about the
vaccine development project. It doesn't matter if someone is missing or dead. If I don't get this project,
my whole family will die!" "So, you're saying that the life and death of others aren't important?"
Cameron raised his eyebrows and asked lightly.
"Why would it have anything to do with us? The only connection that the miracle doctor has with us is
that he treated Tasia. Even if he disappeared, we have nothing to do with it. Aren't the police looking for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim? The most we could do is help look out for him, right?" As Fabian said this, his eyes darted to
Maria, trying to get her to step in.
From the looks of it, Cameron seemed to care about the miracle doctor. If that was the case, shouldn't
he feel indebted to them because they were the ones that invited the miracle doctor over?
Maria immediately caught the hint and nodded hastily. "Yes. The miracle doctor is also my friend. I'm
distraught that he's missing. I just learned about it today. Don't worry. I'll get someone to look into it.
However, let's just focus on the project for now. Ron, you've seen how we've been for years. You know
how hard it has been.
"I know it has been hard for you, too, seeing that your wife left you to care for Tasia in such early years.
We've been doing our best to help you, so I hope that you can help us too." She was trying to play on
his empathy as she patted her chest and continued, "You see, we're in deep waters now. Otherwise,
we wouldn't have come and asked you..." "Have you not asked me for favors before?" Cameron
interjected with a faint smile. He raised his hand and casually dusted his knees before continuing, "That
project in the eastern suburb of town at the beginning of this year. The project in Hyderland last year.
The year before that..."
The more he talked, the darker Fabian's face became. He was even wiping away his sweat profusely.
Cameron picked up on his embarrassment and coldly said, "It's not that I've never given you a chance.
As long as you were able to meet the requirements, I've assigned you the projects accordingly.
However, which one of them did you excel in?" "Ron..." "Was there a time when you didn't come here,
begging for me to clean up after your mess?" Cameron continued sternly, "This time, not only is the
vaccine development project heavily scrutinized, but it also involves people's lives. How can I just hand
it over to you?
"According to the policies, you don't meet the standards to handle this project. You're not qualified
enough, you don't have enough funds, and your company is just not capable enough. Therefore, it's
understandable that you didn't get the project."
After he finished speaking, he turned away with a stern look on his face. It seemed like he didn't want
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto discuss this any further.
Fabian was speechless. After all, everything he said was true. However, none of it was his fault. There
was either a mistake or an accident that happened when he overlooked the project. This could only be
blamed on his bad luck. It wasn't because of his incapability. What Cameron said was too much.
"Ron, just give me another chance. I promise I will do better this time!" After thinking for a while, Fabian
pulled Rhea aside and pointed at her. ’ This time, it'll be different. This time, Rhea will be a part of it.
The research institute will work with us. If you don’t believe in me, you should at least believe in Rhea
and her abilities!
"Rhea won many awards when she was abroad, and now she's back here to work. Our country needs
people like her! Didn't you always say that we should give credit where credit is due? Ron, you're the
role model of our country!" Fabian began to grovel at every chance he got.
Rhea continued sitting there, allowing her father to shower Cameron with praise as she quietly stared
at him.
Cameron cast a faint look at her with a mysterious smile. "Yeah! I do believe in Ree's ability. At the end
of the day, she's also my niece..."
