An irate Granny Luisa yelled, "Ben, have you gone mute or deaf? Or are you just choosing to ignore me now?"
After a while, Ben's voice sounded on the phone, "Granny Luisa, our Hartley Group has been snatched by Brennen. I've got loads to handle right now, gotta hang up. I'll drop by the Hartley Mansion when I get a chance."
He hung up then, ballsy as ever.
News of Hartley Group changing hands and Brennen being back in power was all over the place. If Ben could still act so nonchalantly, it meant Hartley Group's matters weren't a big deal to him. Granny Luisa stopped worrying then, "The cheek of this lad to hang up on me."
At the same time, another voice reached Granny Luisa's ears, "Granny Luisa, you're here too?"
It was Dr. Lester, who seemed to have aged significantly since she last saw him. "Dr. Lester, what happened to you? You look like you've aged years overnight." Granny Luisa asked.
Dr. Lester replied, "I'm fine. I heard Cornelia was hospitalized due to an allergy, so I came to deliver medication."
Granny Luisa asked, "Did Marc send you?"
Dr. Lester replied, "Yes."
Granny Luisa asked again, "How did you find out about Cornelia's hospitalization?"
Dr. Lester replied, "I guess it wouldn't be difficult for Marc to find out."
Granny Luisa asked, "Cornelia and Marc are divorced, they're not a couple anymore. Why is he still keeping tabs on Cornelia? What's the meaning of this?"
Dr. Lester replied, "Who said Marc is tailing Cornelia?"
