Gwen could not believe her ears. She thought that she must have heard wrongly. She couldn’t believe that she had heard that Annalise was Joseph’s proudest disciple.little Joseph suddenly looked over and asked into the microphone, “Gwen, you said that you want to take my disciple as your master. I knew your grandfather. I’ve already told Anna that you can study under her now.” Everyone looked over.
Some were surprised, some were envious, and some looked sarcastic. Gwen suddenly felt that Joseph was deliberately setting her up to embarrass her. It turned out that Annalise was really his disciple. However, when she looked at Joseph, she saw his serious expression, looking as if he didn’t know anything. At this moment, everything was magnified. Almost everyone in the venue looked over at her direction. She had become a target. If she accepted the deal, she would never be able to raise her head again.
Her eyes flashed. She gritted her teeth and said, “Old Mr. Quigley, I mean, I wanted to study under you. However, it’s fine if you don’t wanna take me as your disciple. By the way, I still have something to do. I’ll be taking my leave.” Gwen ignored all kinds of strange gazes and hurriedly walked out of the venue. Elder Quigley said into the microphone, “Hey, Gwen, where are you going? There’s a group photo session between practitioners from both sides later. “Sigh, child, why are you so muddle-headed at such a young age? Didn’t you say so yourself, that as long as you be a part of the Quigley Enterprise, you would have no problems studying under my disciple? “Oh, so you think Anna is too young, right? Silly child, although Anna is young, her talent and medical skills are really good! She has been learning medicine from me since she was seven years old and has inherited all my teachings. Her medical skills have long surpassed mine…”
It didn’t matter if Gwen heard these words or not. Not only did he embarrass Gwen, but he also told everyone that Anna’s medical skills were amazing. Below the stage, there was already an uproar. “Oh my god, Annalise Barton is actually Master Quigley’s personal disciple. She studied medicine with the old man at the age of seven. No wonder she could give a jar of Energizing Pill at Samuel’s birthday banquet.”“You really can’t judge a book by its cover, I guess!”
“That’s right, that’s right. Back then, when I saw how smooth her handwriting was, I didn’t believe that she hadn’t been to school before. As expected, she had already obtained a master’s degree in medicine, but some idiots were still spreading rumors that she hadn’t gone to school for even a day.” “Those rumors came from her cousin.” “Oh my, don’t mention her cousin. It’s disgusting.” “Exactly.” At this moment, Annalise and Julian were sitting together with others. Many people came over to get close to her. “Mrs. Parks, I’m president of Rosely Corporation. Pleased to meet your acquaintance.”
