Chapter 394
Roger placed his arms on the table to support himself. His head was buzzing and he almost couldn’t stand.
He was completely dumbfounded. His brain seemed to have rusted and could not move at all. He could not think of anything.
When he made the call, he actually didn’t think that Olivia would easily agree with his opinion of not splitting the family. He just wanted to use his power as an elderly to make Olivia give in slightly so that he could plan later.
Roger believed he still had some dignity left.
However, he never expected Olivia to give him absolutely no face.
Being an old man with slightly poor hearing, he had the volume on his phone set to the maximum. Even though the phone wasn’t on speaker, Olivia’s voice came through loud and clear to everyone present.
Faced with Olivia’s merciless words, his first reaction was shock, then followed by embarrassment.
Olivia actually publicly humiliated him in front of so many family members. In his 80 years of life, Roger had faced many challenges and difficult situations, but nothing had left him as embarrassed and humiliated as this moment.
He gripped his phone tightly and said with a dark expression, “Olivia, after all, I’m your uncle. How dare you not show any respect to me like this?”
“Respect?” Olivia chuckled, a hint of coldness flashing in her exquisite eyes. “Roger, respect is something you earn for yourself, not something others owe you!
“Let me ask you, have you ever earned the respect yourself?
“How are your medical skills? Have you inherited the aspirations of the Smith family, reviving the dying, helping the wounded, and bringing the medical skills. of the Smith family to a higher level?
“How’s your conduct? Have you followed the teachings of the Smith family, showing integrity and selflessness, and becoming a role model for the Smith family members?
“How broad is your mind? Have you set aside your selfishness, refrained from jealousy, and shown the generosity of an elder to educate and nurture the younger generation of the Smith family?
“May I ask if you have achieved any of these three points?”
With each questioning, it felt like a knife was stabbing at Roger’s chest.
He clutched his chest, taking a staggered step back.
If someone hadn’t supported him from behind, he might have fallen to the ground.

These three consecutive questions by Olivia felt like she was throwing Roger’s dignity to the ground and trampling on it mercilessly.
“Olivia, that’s enough!” Jarron quickly stepped forward, snatched the phone, and roared into the microphone.
“It’s you.” Olivia recognized Jarron’s voice. She changed hands to answer the phone and walked to the window. Looking at the lights outside, she suddenly found everything absurd.
She chuckled at her own naivety. She had once wished to protect people like Jarron and Gillian.
“Jarron,” Olivia said calmly. There was a hint of doubt in her tone. “I’m quite puzzled. How do you have the audacity to come back? I provided you with such a high–level setup, including graduating from a prestigious school, possessing reasonably advanced surgical skills, and a certain level of international
recognition. I even specifically hired someone to teach you about interpersonal skills to enhance your emotional intelligence.
“All of these can make you successful. However, you couldn’t make any significant. impact in Mala and even suffered from bullying and suppression.
“If you can’t handle such minor issues and can’t navigate the interpersonal relationships in a small hospital in Mala, who gave you the confidence to think you can come back and compete with me?
“Is it your ridiculous audacity or your ill intentions?”
These words came directly at Jarron, leaving him speechless and his face turned pale.
Gillian stood at the side, clenching her fists tightly. She was so angry that her entire body was trembling, but she didn’t dare to step forward to speak up for Jarron.
She was genuinely afraid. It was a fear from the depths of her heart.
