Dixon didn’t bother standing up to greet the Berrys upon seeing them.
He sat with his long legs crossed and shot a wicked glance at Ashlyn.
“I see that Dr. Berry is here too.”
Ashlyn nodded. “Hi, Mr. Haddock.”
With a flattering smile, Horace quickly went up to Dixon. “Mr. Haddock, I’ve brought Ashlyn here. About what you’d promised me...”
“Don’t worry. I know what to do...” he said impatiently.
Ashlyn could not help but scowl at the sight of her father’s loathsome face. Then she turned to Dixon and said, “Mr. Haddock, what’s your reason to see me?”
“Dr. Berry, my grandpa’s condition is getting worse. Can you forget what had happened in the past and please see him?” Dixon pleaded with a sly smile on his face.
“Mr. Haddock, come again. What did you just say?” Ashlyn asked as she knitted her eyebrows.
“I don’t know about your identity before. Please don’t take it personally,” continued Dixon indifferently. “I’d transferred two million to Berry Furnishings yesterday. Tomorrow at the Haddock Group’s bidding, I will let Berry Furnishings win the bid.”
Ashlyn took up a goblet and swirled the red wine before continuing, “So, what does it have to do with me?”
Dixon had long known that Ashlyn was tough and hard to deal with.
But I didn’t expect her to be so hard to please...
He had investigated into her. This woman is quite something.
He knew she was the best surgeon in First Hospital.
But he did not expect her to be Horace’s daughter and such an outstanding doctor.
Besides, her aura and temperament were totally different from the Berrys. It was as if she did not belong to that family at all.
“Dr. Berry, what if I buy First Hospital and give it to you?”
“Mr. Haddock, that hospital is a state-owned hospital. How do you plan to buy it?” Ashlyn had always thought Lucas was crazy, but now she thought Dixon was crazier.
