Chapter 314
To lose his temper over a few words… one would think I was that formal disciple.
Who says she isn’t?! She ist Colton shot a look at me and declared to everyone, his voice ringing with conviction. “In all my years, I’ve only officially taken on ne student under my name. And that’s her! i didn’t guide her for just four years. It was sixteen!”
She started learning medicine by my side at nine years old. Starting with Identifying herbs, step by step, building a solid foundation. She’s treated more patients han you can count. And now you dare suggest she relied on connections to develop this drug?”
If you ask me! It’s Gavin who used his connections to get her to agree to develop it for Windsor Group!”
lias chose that moment to speak up. “To be perfectly honest with everyone, in the past, the drugs from Ming An Clinic… while publicly credited to me, ctually Elara’s work.”
he room erupted in astonishment!

t’s over… All over.
But Amelia still refused to surrender. She seemed to grind her teeth, glaring at me as she demanded, “If you were really that capable all along, why keep it a

targaret felt like she was about to cough up blood from sheer rage.
he had never been humiliated like this in her entire life!
he hadn’t invested over a hundred million just to be made a laughingstock!
melia didn’t dare dodge. Within moments, she was a disheveled, pathetic sight. Sobbing, she pleaded, “Madam, I truly never imagined Elara was Colton’s udent! If I had known, I would have been more careful, I would have-”
