Chapter 272
As the night deepened, as a big city, all the lights in Iverton were on.
Phillip’s car drove into Berorika Villa District.
Abigail had not been sleeping well recently. She also stayed up very late tonight, tossing and turning in the study until the middle of the night. When she was tired, she prepared to go upstairs to sleep.
After she left the study and passed through the corridor, the maid ran to her and hurried to her mother’s study.
She frowned and stood rooted to the ground. After a while, she heard voices in the study. “Mrs. Erickson, Mr. Tanner, the director, is here.”
There were many Mr. Tanners in the Tanner family. But Leika knew who it was when she heard it was the director.
Tunderstand. I’ll pick him up myself,” said Leika.
Abigail turned her head and looked out. Through the long hallway aisle, she could see headlights in the garden. Someone was coming.
Delighted. Leika went out to greet him first.
Leika’s uncle, Phillip, was the president of the Medical Union, the vice president of Conrad University, and the director of Conrad Hospital.
The Tanner family was a family of businessmen. Only Phillip, the professor, had a high status in academia. At the same time, he managed Conrad Hospital
He was one of the top ten influential figures in Iverton and was respected. It was also because of him that the influence of the Tanner family, a business family, had greatly increased and became one of the top ten families.
Because Leika had such a family, Abigail’s father’s status in the political world kept rising. Phillip also helped the Erickson family develop its business, allowing the Erickson family to become a first– rate family
All these years, Abigail’s studies, including participating in the royal academic exchange, were facilitated by Phillip.
With him as my background, I will become famous at Conrad University. He is usually so busy. It’s rare for him to come to my house, so I must entertain him well; Abigail thought.
When she arrived at the door, she saw Phillip walking over. So, she greeted him, “Grandpa Phillip!”
“Abigail” Phillip was also warm and amiable.
Abigail was the next generation that the Erickson and the Tanner family focused on nurturing. Leika only had one daughter, and she was the apple of their eye. In the future, she would inherit and develop the huge family business. Therefore, Phillip was naturally concerned about her.
“Grandpa Phillip, I was thinking of asking my mother to bring me to visit you during the holidays so that you can guide me in my studies. What brings you here?” Abigail asked.
I have something to discuss with your mother,” said Phillip.
Leika had already come out to greet him. She knew Phillip must have come at this time for something important. Therefore, she sent her daughter away and invited Phillip to the study. “Abigail, go and rest. I have something to discuss with Phillip.”
“Okay…” Abigail let go of Phillip’s hand and did not go upstairs. Instead, she went to make coffee.
After a while, she carried Phillip’s favorite coffee to the study. Just as she reached the door, she heard Phillip’s voice. “Conrad Hospital is the number one hospital in Iverton. We can’t let Riverview Hospital surpass us.”
The number one hospital represented advanced medical technology and lots of medical benefits, and it was also a necessary service for the rich and powerful. Almost all rich and powerful people in Iverton treated their illnesses in Conrad Hospital. This was also the best way for them to gain connections at the top.
To put it more domineeringly, they could control the life and death of the nobles.
Over the years, other than the Tanner family, even the Erickson family had relied on this to succeed in Iverton
Riverview Hospital had violated their absolute interests,
Abigail retracted her hand, which was about to push the door open. She stood at the door and listened quietly
“Then what should we do?” Leika was also very anxious. “Riverview Hospital is unstoppable now. I’ve already sent someone to investigate. Their new medicine and medical equipment are far ahead. It’s not a big deal if it were anything else, but these.” She shook her head.
“Take it for our use, Phillip said calmly.
Leika suddenly raised her head and looked at Phillip, who was scheming and had a determined expression. He was already confident.
Her shocked eyes were filled with fanaticism. “Who wouldn’t want such a Riverview Hospital? If only we could take it into the Tanner family. Or the Erickson family. In the future, ten years or twenty years later, we can even surpass the Andrews family. No one can suppress us anymore at that time. We can do whatever we want.”
She dreamed of such lofty power and immense strength. Taking Riverview Hospital for their use was the best and only way.
Almost all the giants in each industry purchased new companies with potential or talents and invested in them. Then, they used them to consolidate their position as overlords.
The Andrews family had become a giant because Milton used this method.
This was also Leika’s usual method. However, seeing that Phillip had already made arrangements, Leika asked. “What should we do?” Her voice was trembling with excitement.
“I’m here to discuss this with you. I need you and the Erickson family to cooperate,” said Phillip,
“Uncle Phillip, don’t worry. We will do our best. However, if we do something to that girl, Lea, what if the Andrews family interferes..” She frowned and gritted her teeth. The Erickson family can’t go against the Andrews family. So is the Tanner family
During the day, Blake interfered with the Oliver family’s business for Lea. Although the Oliver family’s matter had not been completely settled. Leika had already received internal news. They had given up on the Oliver family completely.
“I came back from Kentside Garden. I’ve already met Blake,” said Phillip.
Leika suddenly looked up. “What did he say? Could it be..
He nodded. “That’s right.
Her frown deepened. “Didn’t he just go against the Oliver family for that girl during the day?”
“I don’t understand it either. But Blake’s attitude is clear. He won’t mind her business,” said Phillip.
“Didn’t Milton like her? Leika was anxious to figure out their relationship
Phillip replied. “I’m afraid that’s why Blake has such an attitude”
“Huh!” Leika was enlightened and snorted. That explains it So what if she’s a genius? She’s only from a small place. There’s no lack of geniuses in this world. Marriage between aristocratic families is about matching backgrounds. The Berry family’s fortune is nothing in Iverton. It’s not even comparable to a nouveau riche. Love is not worth mentioning in front of aristocratic families
She picked up coffee in a good mood. Then, she took a sip. “So, Blake is also going to make a move to Lea. Only by destroying her can he stop her from being with Milton.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
If it were any other aristocratic family elder, they would use the same method.
“That little girl is so unlucky. She became the target that the Andrews family wanted to destroy. Previously, she got into Conrad University, which caused my daughter to lose first place. Now, she founded Riverview Hospital. If this continues, my daughter’s halo will be snatched away by her. I didn’t expect her to come this far. She’s courting death,” said Leika.
How could Leika not pay attention to her daughter’s situation at university!
She had numured Abigail meticulously since she was young. From kindergarten to elementary school, junior high school, high school, and domestic and foreign youth academic conferences, she
had made Abigail number one and was incomparably glorious.
When Abigail went to university, it was a critical period.
Leika made comprehensive arrangements. She wanted Abigail walk on the academic altar and become a legendary princess during her university days. Then, she would let Abigail set up an ideal marriage and walk to the peak of her life. The Erickson family would also rise to a higher level by then.
