Clarice said, “After growing up, I further sought to secure Justin’s heart for my family’s interests! I’ve never had any feelings for him! I’ve never loved him!”
Grant sneered, leaning in to lift her chin with a fingertip. “Then, are you only using me, too?”
As tears welled in Clarice’s eyes, she swore earnestly, “Sir, I’m sincere toward you! I’m completely loyal to you. I would even die for you!”
“Alright now. Don’t use such ominous words. Stand up and speak.” Grant’s tone softened as he helped her to her feet.
Yet Clarice still felt uneasy.
She could not read Grant’s emotions. Despite having worked with him for so long, she had never seen him lose his temper, which only heightened her unease.
“Sir, when you had my personal background reshaped, was it to replace that girl’s identity and approach Justin again?”
“My brother may occasionally be dumb when it comes to relationships. But otherwise, he’s the smartest person in the world. How could you possibly replace the girl if you don’t even know the details of his relationship with that girl?”
Grant savored the aroma of the tea. Then he spoke leisurely. “Your new identity has already left a deep impression on him, stirring endless speculation. However, we’ll only be able to see its true effect once we return to Savrow.”
Clarice nodded, then asked in astonishment. “Also, about this medicine, are you really going to give it to Justin? Are you really going to save Wyatt Thompson? If they don’t get the medicine, Wyatt’s health will only deteriorate further, causing turmoil not just in the Thompson family but also in the KS Group. Isn’t that what we want?”
“Well, will Wyatt’s health improve just because of that medicine?”
Clarice exclaimed in surprise, “Are you suggesting...”
“Chairman Thompson is getting older. With such a stubborn illness, and not the first time it has relapsed, his health has long been declining. Whether we give him the medicine or not, how much difference will it really make? The miraculous effects of such medicine often make people overlook its side effects. Compared to brain death, hovering between life and death with a few side effects is already a gain.”
Grant coughed lightly. Then he continued speaking casually, “Besides, my brother and Ms. Thompson will also owe me a favor after this. What’s not to like?”
