However, what Thora cared about more was the clarification statement from the World Medical Alliance.
She could never have dreamed that Neera was actually a member of the World Medical Alliance!
When did this happen, and why hadn't she heard anything about it?
Among the people she knew, only her father had managed to join this alliance which was beyond one's reach.
Why should Neera be allowed in when even she doesn't qualify?
Driven by jealousy, she never acknowledged Neera's excellence, attributing all her achievements to sheer luck or some underhanded tricks.
This time was no exception as she habitually had negative thoughts about Neera and belittling her in her heart as utterly worthless.
What abilities does that woman have?
So, knowing a bit of medical skills makes one a miracle doctor?
What a joke!
With her abilities alone, there's no way she could have entered the World Medical Association. She must have used other means.
Could it be that she bribed Father to get a backdoor deal?
The more she thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, and the angrier she became.
In a fit of anger, she ran downstairs, barged into Obadiah's study, and immediately began to question him in a domineering manner.
“How could Neera possibly get into the World Medical Association? Did you pull some strings to get her in? Otherwise, how could she possibly make it?”
Obadiah was already upset with her because of the incident where she switched the potions last time.
Seeing that she had not even a shred of remorse, and instead asking such a stupid question, he was so angry that he threw his pen down in an instant.
“What do you mean by 'pulling strings'? What do you think the World Medical Alliance is? Do you think you can just get in through the back door? People would rather rely on their own abilities! What on earth is going on in your head? You're just making malicious assumptions about others!”
The more he spoke, the angrier he became, launching into a full-blown scolding right off the bat.
“Why not settle down and focus on improving yourself instead of wasting your time on all this wild thoughts! If you're not convinced, then show your true abilities. Perhaps one day, you too can become a member of the World Medical Alliance, just like her!”
When he spoke these words, there was a sense of frustration. Yet, his words still offered her guidance and encouragement.
However, all Thora could hear was the intent to slander.
“What's impossible about that? You're a member of the World Medical Alliance, and your words carry weight there. If you want her to get in, isn't it just a matter of you saying so? Otherwise, how could it be possible with her qualifications!
“Look at you. It's as if you can't wait to treat that wretched woman as if she were your own flesh and blood. You are truly biased! If people didn't know better, they would think she was your illegitimate daughter!
Her tirade left Obadiah trembling with anger.
Overwhelmed with emotion, he felt a severe pain in his heart. Clutching his chest, his face turned red as he cursed angrily.
“You... you wicked girl, you good-for-nothing! Stop spouting nonsense!”
Upon hearing these words, Marie immediately rushed in from outside.
“Thora, do you even know what you're saying? What on earth has been going on with you lately? How did you end up like this?”
She was both angry and incredulous. Then, she grabbed her daughter and insisted on dragging her out.
“Come with me. We really need to have a serious talk.”
“Let me go!”
Thora forcefully shook off her hand. Her features were steeped in obstinate anger. “Who said I wanted to talk to you? I have nothing to discuss with you!”
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked away, slamming the door so hard it echoed thunderously.
Obadiah leaned on the edge of the table, his face full of disappointment.
He couldn't understand how he ended up raising such a daughter...
That evening at seven o'clock, at the research center.
Ian showed up carrying the seven-hundred-year-old snowleaf.
When Neera took it over, she was somewhat nervous.
She had never seen such precious medicinal herbs before!
After a round of careful appreciation, she quickly led her team to prepare for concocting medicines in the laboratory.
Surprisingly, Violet also came.
She was still dressed in her signature lolita dress, looking quite adorable. However, her pretty face was devoid of any expression.
Neera gave her a look, then turned her gaze to the antique box she was holding in her arms, looking quite surprised.
“How did you get here? Did Avery have another episode?”
Violet shook her head. “Mr. Cox is fine for now. He heard that Ms. Garcia is looking for a seven-hundred-year-old snowleaf. So, he made a special effort to inquire about it. After he found it he asked me to deliver it to you.”
Through the glass door, Neera stared at the box Violet was holding in her hands, frozen in place.
Beside her, Jean's eyebrows arched high, his gaze carrying an inscrutable hint of ambiguity.
The one with the most expressive facial expression was Eugene.
The old man first showed surprise, then astonishment, and finally, a look of existential doubt crossed his face.
Isn't this seven-hundred-year-old snowleaf quite rare, with only a few in the world?
Why has it become so common now?
Can anyone find it that easily?
Neera came back to her senses and looked at what was in her hand, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
“Thank you for Mr. Cox's kindness, but I already have one, so I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Please take it back. I appreciate the sentiment, but this is very valuable, so I can't just accept it.”
Upon hearing this, Violet was somewhat surprised. It was as if she hadn't expected that Neera had already gotten one.
But she shook her head, insisting, “Ms. Garcia, this is Mr. Cox's sincere gesture, and a token of gratitude for your life-saving help before. Please accept it, otherwise I won't be able to explain to him when I return.”
This puts me in a bit of a bind.
Neera hesitated, subconsciously stealing a glance at Jean.
