"I know, I think she's being way too reckless, too," Isabella sighed, her tone dripping with helplessness. "Her devotion to them is touching, I suppose."
"But then again, it makes sense. She's always been their favorite. The moment she came back, Holden handed over shares in the Vinton family. Meanwhile, you and I... we grew up right under their noses, and we haven't seen a single fraction of a percent."
"If she actually pulls off this insane stunt, she won't just have saved Kiera's life; she'll have saved Holden's, too. That kind of credit is astronomical. By then, Holden will probably hand the entire Vinton empire over to her."
"But you have to admit, she does have the skills to back it up."
She layered her words with thick, unmistakable envy. "It's just a shame neither of us knows anything about medicine. Otherwise, we would have done everything in our power to save Holden, too."
Anna's pupils contracted sharply, all color draining from her face.
She was right!
The second her grandfather saw Serena, he threw those shares at that bitch!
Yet Anna, his actual granddaughter, didn't even own a single percent!
She had heard that the bitch did know a thing or two about alternative medicine. If she somehow managed to fake her way through this and actually pull it off...
Would there even be a place left for Anna in the Vinton family?
Taking Anna's stunned silence as an opening, Isabella kept talking, acting like the isolation had made her desperate for conversation. "Still, there are only a handful of experts in the entire United Realmon States who can perform a surgery of this magnitude. Plus, Serena just got here. She doesn't have connections. Do you think she just claimed she was finding replacements for Mr. White's team to keep Holden and Kiera from panicking?"
