At that moment, the door to the elevator suddenly opened.
A few men in black walked out with a handsome man in a tuxedo leading them. The leader had a powerful aura, and his face shone with cruelty.
Lucas’ frown exuded a murderous ambiance, and his gaze was sharp and cruel. It was plain to see that he was someone to be reckoned with.
He had one hand in his pocket, while his other hand held his phone as he walked towards the crowd.
Ashlyn turned to him, and their eyes met in the middle of the room.
Lucas’ dark eyes stared at her face for half a second; everything seemed calm. A few seconds later, he retracted his gaze and stood in front of the hospital’s director.
“Mr. Nolan, what brings you here?” asked the director, who looked a little surprised when he saw Lucas there.
Spencer calmly told the director, “Our master has an important announcement to make, so please gather all the heads of the departments.”
The hospital director had a bad feeling. The mysterious investor that’s supposed to take over the hospital... Could it be...
The director didn’t even dare go down that rabbit hole. He quickly ordered the second-in-command, “Go set everything up right away!”

At the office of the second-in-command.
Penelope was examining Jerry’s back and saw that there was a huge bruise on it. “That Ashlyn Berry is too much! How could she be so mean?”
“The director watched me grow up. I’m sure he will chase Ashlyn away,” scowled Jerry angrily before he added, “You have to help me seek revenge, dad!”
“Don’t worry. Given my close relationship with the director, Ashlyn will definitely be fired,” comforted the second-in-command.
Penelope was helping Jerry apply some medicine when Jerry reached out to hold her hand. “Thank you for being so kind to me, Penelope.”
Penelope was a little shy because the second-in-command was in the room. So, she retracted her hand and said, “Don’t do that. You’ll just make me blush.”
The second-in-command grinned happily. He knew that the Berrys had some money and were somewhat rich, so he was glad to see his son being with Penelope.
Penelope later followed the second-in-command and Jerry into the conference room.
