Olivia didn't accept the money.
She replied calmly, "It's okay. This is a risky operation. If it goes well, fame and fortune await. But if anything goes wrong, the people handling it would be socially ruined.
"I wouldn't even have come if not for Mr. Miller. This operation doesn't affect me whatsoever. But if Dr. Gatsby fails, you would be the ones affected."
"What did you say? How dare you say that about my father?"
Olivia didn't really care whose daughter Krystal was. They were living in a society governed by laws.
They couldn't possibly kill her just for talking.
"Ms. Heath, I'm just telling the truth. I really hope you are betting on the right person. Please don't come looking for me in the future.
"Mr. Miller, I'd prefer it if you're the one who drove me home."
Krystal wanted to yell some more, but Tatiana covered her mouth. "Haven't you said enough? Do you know your own position and hers? Why are you arguing with her?"
"Mom, I just can't stand how arrogant she is. There are so many doctors out there. Who does she think she is? I bet you don't know this. She's a witch. She gave birth to a monster."
Tatiana rubbed her temple. "Enough. I'm not in the mood for your fits. Your father is still lying in bed with his life hanging by a thread.
"Your brother is trying to keep everything under control out there. So, behave yourself and stop causing trouble."
"Understood, Mom."
Yale also followed Olivia as she left. Olivia got into the car first.
Yale looked at Ethan with a smug smile. "It's your loss for sure this time."
"Really?" Ethan was calm.
"Even if you have won 99 times, this one loss would be the end of you. Time for a change in management for Aldenvine."
Ethan rolled his eyes. "Stop staying up at night. You should go home and sleep. That way, you get everything you want in your dreams."
