Elizabeth pouted. She knew Declan was scolding her, even though she’d missed the earlier part. She’d come home drunk last night, and Declan and Rose had to take care of her.

Elizabeth walked into the living room, and Declan spotted her immediately. He snorted, checked she was okay, grabbed his bag, and left for work.

“Dad, drive safe!” Elizabeth called out, trying to be sweet.

Declan left without a glance back.

Elizabeth pouted again and looked at Rose. Rose frowned. “Elizabeth, focus on your work. Why did you get so drunk?”

“This is honey lemon water. Drink it and get to work!” Rose ordered.

“Got it, Mom,” Elizabeth nodded.

Rose sighed, tapped Elizabeth on the head, and left for work too.

Elizabeth lay on the couch, feeling groggy and emotional. Suddenly, she remembered Neil’s greedy face from yesterday, and her mood darkened. She took out her phone and messaged Felix.

M: [The Green Group is a problem.] Felix: [Got it!]

The Green Group needed to go down! Felix loved this kind of task! He was always thrilled and proactive with such orders!

Just as Elizabeth opened her car door, she got a text from Felix.

Felix: Boss, check the news.

Elizabeth frowned. Check the news? She got in the car, buckled up, and opened today’s news. It was the latest from Lisbon: as soon as the stock market opened, all Green Group stocks plummeted!

Elizabeth was shocked. A stock market crash? Scrolling further, she saw news like, “The Green Group’s cash flow is interrupted, and it cannot operate normally.”

Elizabeth squinted. Problems with both stock and cash flow? This wasn’t a coincidence. Someone targeted the Green Group in advance? Elizabeth rubbed her chin and thought of Charles. Did Charles worry that Neil, who was too arrogant yesterday, would harass Elizabeth again, so he protected her?

Felix sent another text: [I checked, it’s a mysterious overseas person targeting the Green Group.]

Elizabeth tilted her head and thought, Overseas?

Felix: Neil and his son are crying and begging for help to save the Green Group. But it’s going to be tough. This mysterious person is really aggressive!

Elizabeth scrolled through the news again. Indeed, all the news was bad for the Green Group. With the Green Group’s collapse, Neil would be heavily in debt within 24 hours.

Elizabeth: [Well, we don’t need to act ourselves.]

After sending the message, Elizabeth went to work. Cardiac Surgery.

As soon as Elizabeth arrived, Amanda said, “Elizabeth, you’re consulting with me today.”

Elizabeth responded, “Coming, Ms. Carter.”

Mark was sipping coffee. Seeing Elizabeth, he smirked. “Elizabeth, cherish the chance to consult with Ms. Carter!”

Elizabeth ignored him; he was always mocking others.

Elizabeth and Amanda went to the fourth-floor clinic, already crowded with patients. The desperate looks in their eyes were hard for Elizabeth to bear. Seeking medical help was one of the hardest things in the world.

“Just stand by and learn, don’t say anything. If you don’t understand, ask!” Amanda reminded Elizabeth.

Elizabeth nodded.

Amanda added, “You’ll meet all kinds of people in the clinic. If a patient loses control, don’t argue, okay?”

Elizabeth nodded. “Got it.”

Amanda checked the time; it was about right and started today’s consultation.
