“Speak up,” Flynn said casually.
Callie nodded and said, “Katrina wants to ask you to be her mentor. Would you be willing to take her as your apprentice?”
“Mr. Clark, I have offended you in the past. Please give me a chance to follow you and learn medicine!” Katrina bowed ninety degrees with a pious expression.
The staff cleaning up the table saw this scene and were shocked like thunderstruck. Who was Katrina? She was the daughter of the city’s mayor and had a PhD from Eahta Medical University! She always made others bow down to her, but now she was asking Flynn for guidance!
Especially that staff member who had mocked Flynn earlier, they ran into the bathroom in fear of being scolded by him later.
“Become my apprentice?” Flynn paused for a moment, thought about it and said, “I’m busy lately. Let’s talk about it later.”
“But if you want to learn something, you can join the Davies’ Pharmaceuticals.”
“After I hand over the Davies’ Pharmaceuticals to Rose, I will occasionally go there to develop new drugs.”
He didn’t like Katrina very much but the Davies’ Pharmaceuticals needed outstanding research personnel after reopening. Katrina would be a good choice.
“How many of my fellow students can I bring along with me?” Katrina asked excitedly.
Flynn didn’t hesitate and replied, “As long as they are elite medicine practitioners who understand everything.”
He didn’t want to have to hold their hands after assigning them tasks.
After a brief chat, Flynn and Scarlet left the restaurant.
Thanks to Flynn’s introduction, Scarlet met Katrina and Callie, which made her very happy.
Katrina and Callie were both children of high-ranking officials in the government circle. Without Flynn’s help, Scarlet would never have been able to become friends with them.
She liked Flynn more and more. She always felt that he had everything under control in his eyes and was confident in himself.
“I’m going to Rose’s place. You go back!” Flynn said lightly as he got into the car.
Scarlet couldn’t help but say angrily, “Hey! Brother-in-law, I contacted Justice for you and arranged for you to meet Luca.”
“Don’t just use me up like this without any conscience! Besides, Rose is one of Niarak’s top three beauties. What if you do something wrong against my cousin? I need to go there and supervise you!”
Flynn frowned slightly and said, “I’m just going there to deliver a contract for Rose. Where did you get all these ideas from?”
“As for you offering to speak up for me, it’s better left unsaid. The mere mention of it makes me angry!”
“If it weren’t for you women, I would have taken care of Luca a long time ago! Why let him leave unscathed?”
“You ladies only slow down my sword-drawing speed!”
Scarlet rolled her eyes and scowled. “I don’t need to follow you. Tonight, I’m going to Thodell Mansion. One, to see if you’re staying out all night and two, because I still haven’t finished the bottle of wine Layla gave you,” she said before Flynn started the car abruptly.
“Hey! You jerk… Flynn, you’re such a jerk…” Scarlet picked up a rock from the ground and threw it towards the Volkswagen car.
Flynn seemed to sense something was coming his way and made a perfect drift move that avoided getting hit by the rock. He gave her a disdainful look with an evil grin on his face.
“You… you make me so angry… you straight guy! You stinkin’ straight guy!” Scarlet yelled at him as he drove away in his car.
“At least call me a cab or something! You don’t know how to treat women with respect!” She stomped her foot in frustration as she hailed a taxi and left angrily.
Flynn soon arrived at Garretmann Residence where he parked his car before heading upstairs.
He called Rose twice on his way there, but both times her phone was off. He knocked on the door for a while, but no one answered.
“Stop knocking, Rose got beaten up by the people of the Stewart family and is at hospital!” said an old woman who opened the door of a nearby house.
Flynn’s face turned cold as he asked, “What happened?”
“I don’t know either. The Stewart family just left her there after throwing her out of their car,” replied the old woman.
“Rose felt some chest tightness so I advised her to go to the hospital.”
“Ai! She’s such a poor child. She cried all night at her mother’s grave yesterday and went to the Stewart family in the morning…”
After hearing this, Flynn quickly drove to the hospital.
Rose was hanging an IV drip on her bed when she saw Flynn come in. She turned away from him coldly and said, “Are you here to laugh at me?”
She looked haggard with pale skin and tear marks on her face. Her eyes were filled with dead ash and boundless hatred.
Flynn took her pulse for a while before frowning and asking, “What happened?”
Rose glared at him with hatred in her eyes as she said, “River transferred Davies’ Pharmaceuticals to me but helped Milo cheat me out of Dragon Bone Pill… I lost…”
Thirty years ago, Stewart’s family was just an unknown wealthy household that ran a medicinal herb processing factory.
After Rose’s mother Tinley married into Sharp Family, the Stewart family relied on Tinley’s help and became second-tier aristocrats within ten short years.
River had feelings for Rose but was rejected when he confessed his love.
After Tinley’s death, the Stewart family went all out to support Rose. Even during the intense confrontation between the Woods, Swanson, and Dragon Gate families, the Stewart family didn’t stand against Rose.
Rose was deeply touched and considered the Stewart family as her most trusted family when she took over the leadership. Little did she know that the Stewart family was actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing, having long betrayed the Sharp family and become their lapdogs.
Over the years, the Stewart family continuously leaked business secrets to the opposing side, resulting in all of Rose’s decisions being compromised. After ten years of struggling, the Sharp family’s ship finally sank, and River, with deceit, managed to obtain the Dragon Bone Pill formula.
Rose, who had single-handedly upheld the Sharp family for a decade and was labeled a “cold-hearted” woman by the people of Niarak, slowly revealed the truth to Flynn, sighing, “Flynn, it’s my fault that I didn’t believe your words, and all of this is well-deserved punishment. But thank you.”
“Now, looking back, my mother’s death was probably related to the Stewart family, and I misunderstood Kevin.”
“If you have the chance to return to Demon Island, please apologize to him on my behalf. I have failed. The Sharp family is finished.”
Rose, the woman who had stood alone to support the Sharp family for ten years and was called “ruthless” and “cold-hearted” by the people of Niarak, remained as unyielding as steel even during the darkest times. However, at this moment, her emotions had finally broken down.
After listening to everything, Flynn’s face was covered in frost as he said coldly, “If you want to apologize to Kevin, then go and tell him yourself.”
“Just because of a Dragon Bone Pill recipe, you’re going to be so depressed?”
“Where did the Rose who wouldn’t even frown if she lost an arm go?”
“You’re just making the enemy more pleased with themselves!”
“Don’t worry! I’ll help you take back all of the Sharp family’s businesses!”
“Those despicable rats will watch as you rise up and be powerless to stop it.”
“They’ll crawl at your feet, hands outstretched offering back what rightfully belongs to the Sharp family, begging for mercy!”
