The butler of the Carlton residence had been waiting by the gates to welcome the doctor.
He was surprised to see the person getting out of the car.
He thought a famous doctor like Vanessa would always travel with her assistant and driver. Yet, there was only a woman in the car.
Despite her ordinary looks, her aura was different from others.
"Are you Vanessa?"
"Why? Do I not look like 'Vanessa?'" She closed the car door.
"It's not like that. I'm just quite taken aback. It must've been a tough journey for you to come here. It's our honor to be able to invite you over to treat our young lady."
"Where's the patient?" Olivia didn't want to waste her time listening to his courtesy.
"This way, please."
Although the house was huge, it appeared rather empty on this snowy day.
Marina was the only grandchild in the house. To add on, she wasn't their biological granddaughter.
That was definitely a big blow to Otto.
Still, Otto had watched her grow up. He couldn't bring himself to drive her out of the family, so he settled her down at another place.
Meanwhile, another heir was selected.
Even though Marina had lost the right to be the heiress, the Carltons still looked after her.
She was still the Ms. Carlton who didn't lack anything.
The moment Olivia stepped into the house, a stranger welcomed her. "You must be Vanessa. I've heard a lot about you. I'll be entrusting my younger sister to you."
She stopped in her tracks. After all, she had never seen him in the Carlton family when she was still in the city.
Judging from his outfit, she guessed that it was the newly selected heir of the Carlton family—Fabian Carlton.
"Nice to meet you."
He appeared mild and gentlemanly, not someone calculating.
However, he was surely not an easy man considering that he managed to stand out among his relatives and become the heir.
Although the Carlton family had receded these few years, Otto wasn't someone to be underestimated. He still held a certain influence.
