Chapter 433
With a frown, Jenna said to Yara, “What an unusual request! Don’t let the elders find out about this. They could accuse you of being disloyal to the family and have you punished.”
“If you don’t tell them, who would even find out…” Yara gazed at Joseph, but he avoided eye contact with her. She found his figure somewhat familiar, but without seeing his face, she couldn’t recognize him at all.
She immediately asked, “Who are you?”
“This guy is my junior, so he’s one of us,” Jenna said quickly, covering for Joseph.
“Oh? I never knew you had a junior. Who is he?”
“You don’t have to know. I don’t want the elders keeping tabs on him. He can protect me. Yara, don’t tell me who you want to put in a vegetative state. I’m not helping you with that.” Jenna quickly steered the conversation back on track.
“Jenna, don’t you know what’s good for you? You know our family is going through a turbulent time now.
“There’s a good chance I might rise to power. If you don’t side with me now, you’ll miss your best chance to prove your loyalty,” Yara said.
Hearing that, Joseph couldn’t help but feel incredulous. Did she really think she could rise to power? What made her believe she was even capable of it? Still, there was no denying her ambition.
Still, Joseph said nothing and waited to see how things would play out.
Jenna said, “Don’t violate our medical sect’s rules. We’re here to save the lives of your family, and we’re not involved in your family’s matters.”
“Rules are made by people, which means people can break them or rewrite them! Jenna, I refuse to believe that anyone can remain loyal forever.
“The reason you won’t join my side is that I haven’t offered you enough! If you help me this time, I’ll make you the leader of the medical sect.
“I’ll also give you a large number of shares and a villa. On top of that, I’ll even help you improve your medical skills so you can beat that loser, Joseph!”
Joseph’s mind immediately recoiled-how could she call him a loser? Damn her. Her entire family was full of losers!
Yara also realized she had been unusually talkative today, and with an outsider there too. She glanced at Joseph. · She was thinking of asking him to turn around so she could see what he looked like.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Something came up on Wallace’s side, and Jenna was needed there to help.
Jenna hurriedly took Joseph with her and finally got away from Yara. She then said in a low voice, “I can’t give you anything.
“Why don’t you stay disguised and remain by my side? That way, you might be able to find out what you want to know. What do you think?”
“Sure!” Joseph agreed. From the moment he entered the Traditional Medicine Center, Marla was the only one who had recognized him.
But as soon as he stepped into the ICU, he would put on a mask and a surgical cap. No one else would be able to recognize him after that.
A disguise would allow Joseph to stay undercover by Jenna’s side. That could work.
