Chapter 133
When Juliet saw Gordon fall to the floor, she quickly walked over and helped him up. She looked at Gordon with a pained expression and asked with concern, “Are you alright, Gordon?”
Gordon shook his head. He felt that Juliet was blocking his way. When he wanted to push her over, Juliet blocked him and held his hand tightly. It was a little painful.
He knew that Juliet did not want him to
anything rash, but at this moment, he really wanted to teach Maxwell a lesson.
After Maxwell pushed Gordon down, he elegantly wiped the wine on his hand with a tissue on the table and looked at Gordon with disdain. It was as if he was saying, “If you have the guts, come over and fight me.”
“Alright, it’s Christmas. What are you two brothers doing? Sit back down!” As soon as Richard spoke, Juliet pulled Gordon over. Before Gordon left, he glanced at Maxwell.
“Grandpa, you must have seen what happened, so I won’t explain. I’ll bring Mona back first. Enjoy your meal!” After Maxwell finished speaking, he took the clothes from the clothes rack beside him and helped Mona put them on. Then, he walked out with Mona.
When they went outside, Mona felt that the air was fresh. ‘Is the air inside too stuffy?’
She looked down at their tightly clasped hands. They were especially gorgeous under the light of the fireworks as if two pieces of art were intertwined.
In the Carter Mansion, after Maxwell and Mona left, Juliet used the excuse of applying medicine to Gordon and brought him back to her room.
She saw the unfriendly look in Richard’s eyes when Richard looked at Gordon just now. It must be because Gordon was the one who started the incident just now. In addition, Gordon was already drunk. It would not be good if he got into an argument with Richard.
As soon as they entered the room, Gordon pushed Juliet over and fell onto the sofa. He frowned and placed his hand between his eyebrows.
“Son, did you feel any pain from the fall just now?” Juliet sat beside Gordon.
Gordon moved a little to the side and said impatiently, “No, I came up with you. Don’t bother me. Let me be alone for a while.”
Juliet knew that Gordon had just fallen and felt terrible. She comforted him and said, “Gordon, don’t worry. In the future, the Carter Group will definitely be yours. Maxwell is capable now, but you will definitely have the last laugh.”
She wondered why Maxwell was so lucky. The assassination attempt in Arkenvale did not even kill Maxwell.
Since the assassination attempt was unsuccessful, Maxwell would definitely be on high alert. Now that Maxwell was in the country, it was not appropriate for her to send more people.
“Will the Carter Group be mine just because you say so? It’s not yours now. Alright, you can leave now. I’m going to rest,” Gordon said impatiently.
Juliet told him this every time, but the Carter Group was still in Maxwell’s hands.
“Then, then I will go out first. Go to bed early after taking a shower.” After saying that, Juliet left Gordon’s room. When she closed the door, she glanced at Gordon through the crack of the door.
If Gordon wanted the Carter Group, as her mother, she would hand it over to him personally.

Some people were happy while others were sad. Mona was the one who was sad, while Barbara was overjoyed.

Sitting on the sofa in her room, she casually placed her legs on the sofa. Looking at the TV in front of her, an inexplicable smile appeared on her lips. As long as Bernard continues to fain, he will pass away.
“Then, he will not have time to explain the company’s matters. Now that the Clem family are all concerned about Bernard’s health, who thinks about the Clem Group’s shares? If I hold a shareholders’ meeting without anyone knowing and as long as most shareholders agree, the Clem Group will be Jeremy’s. Let’s see how Mona can still be so arrogant.
‘Perhaps even Maxwell will regret marrying Mona!’
She would take over Mona’s position and become the heiress of the Clem Group. Oh no, the company was going to change its name. It would be the Simon Group. When the time came, she would be called Barbara Simon. Thinking about it, she was really happier.

A day after Christmas, a plane landed at Nathontown’s airport. Maxwell’s men quickly took him to the hospital.
For the past two days, Bernard’s condition had worsened. He often only woke up for a while a day and often did not recognize anyone. All kinds of tests had been done, but the doctors could not find anything.
Mona became more and more worried these two days. She could only place her hope on the doctor invited by Maxwell. As soon as the doctor arrived at the hospital, Maxwell asked Bernard’s attending doctor to tell him about Bernard’s examination report and situation.
“I roughly understand what you mean. Let me take a look at the patient’s physical condition first,” Luke said as he took the report from Bernard.
Mona looked at Luke nervously. She was really afraid of getting any bad news from him.
Luke looked at Bernard’s examination report in his hand and frowned unconsciously. His hand also flipped through it continuously.
Mona did not know what was going on with Bernard. Looking at Luke’s expression, she felt more depressed.
After a long time, Luke’s voice sounded in the empty office. “How should I put it? This patient looks fine on all the indicators of his body, but he has been unconscious. I guess he might have been poisoned.”
“Poisoned?” Mona asked in disbelief. ‘If Grandpa was poisoned, who poisoned him?’ She had a vague guess that it must have something to do with Barbara.
In the Clem family, the only person who could secretly poison her grandfather seemed to be Jeremy.
“Yes, I ess so. However, we still have to do a checkup. If possible, I hope to bring the patient to Horieta for treatment. My team .er there has a higher chance of curing him,” Luke said seriously.
This was a situation he had never encountered before. He wanted to challenge it.
“I-I’ll go discuss it with my grandmother. I’ll leave my grandfather to you now,” Mona said solemnly.
After Mona left for Bernard’s ward, Maxwell looked at Luke and asked, “Dr. Bird, are you confident in treating the patient?”
Luke was still reading Bernard’s medical report. When he heard Maxwell’s words, he stretched out his hand and made a four. Then, he retracted his finger and made a three. He said, “30% confidence, 30%. I’ve never seen such a condition before. I’ll do my best to treat him. I dare to say that if I can’t treat him, there are almost no doctors in the country who can treat him.”

Maxwell frowned. The success rate was too low. However, since Maxwell had spent a lot of money to invite Luke from Horieta, he knew Luke’s ability. Just as Luke had said, no one else could treat Bernard other than him.
“Of course, I believe you. I just hope you can do your best. After all, it’s a life!” Maxwell said.
