“Look, would you be able to do it without me?” Maria was proud that she played a significant role in this. After pacing around for a while, she stopped and turned around. "By the way, are you sure your brother-in-law agreed? It'd be embarrassing if you misunderstood him."
Her question shocked Fabian, and he thought about it carefully. "I-I think so. He told me to return once I've prepared the tenders and told me to work hard."
After a pause, he waved around and continued, "Whatever it is, you won't understand it! Secretaries like them are always vague with their words. They can't let their words bite them in the a*s. It's already an obvious hint for him to say that. I'd be an idi*t if I didn't get his hints!"
Maria’s question made Fabian uneasy, but when he thought about how Cameron had tapped his shoulder, it assured him that it was an obvious hint.
‘Didn't they do that in movies too? Yes, that’s right! It was a prod!’
With that in mind, Fabian regained his confidence. "All right, enough chit-chatting. Hurry up and look for that miracle doctor of yours. By the way, you said the miracle doctor has connections to Mrs. Russell."
As soon as Fabian brought this up, Maria became furious. She could not help but frown and grumble, "About that, it took me so much work to finally convince the doctor to come and see Anastasia, but Mrs. Russell just had to get in the way!
“She was so arrogant! Even your sister wasn't as prideful as Mrs. Russell was when she was alive. Mrs. Russell pissed the miracle doctor off, and he left. If it weren't because we were at her house, I would've slapped her!"
"You said Mrs. Russell is Alexander's wife?"
"That's the woman! What's wrong? Does knowing that she’s his wife scare you? I don't care! What's the big deal? Is this all because she married into a renowned family? I heard that woman drove the Old Mrs. Russell to the mountains. Don't you see how malicious this woman is?"
