Chapter 1281

An irate Granny Luisa yelled, “Ben, have you gone mute or deaf? Or are you just choosing to ignore me now?”

After a while, Ben’s voice sounded on the phone, “Granny Luisa, our Hartley Group has been sna tched by Brennen. I’ve got loads to handle right now, gotta hang up. I’ll drop by the Hartley Mansion when I get a chance”

He hung up then, ballsy as ever

News of Hartley Group changing hands and Brennen being back in power was all over the place. If Ben could still act so nonchalantly, it meant Hartley Group’s matters weren’t a big deal to him. Granny Luisa stopped worrying then, “The cheek of this lad to hang up on me”

At the same time, another voice reached Granny Luisa’s ears, “Granny Luisa, you’re here too?”

It was Dr. Lester, who seemed to have aged significantly since she last saw him. “Dr. Lester, what happened to you? You look like you’ve aged years overnight.” Granny Luisa asked.

Dr. Lester replied, “I’m fine. I heard Cornelia was hospitalized due to an allergy, so I came to deliver medication.”

Granny Luisa asked, “Did Marc send you?”

Dr. Lester replied, “Yes”

Granny Luisa asked again, “How did you find out about Cornelia’s hospitalization?”

Dr. Lester replied, “I guess it wouldn’t be difficult for Marc to find out.”

Granny Luisa asked, “Cornelia and Marc are divorced, they’re not a couple anymore. Why is he still keeping tabs on Cornelia? What’s the meaning of this?”

Dr. Lester replied, “Who said Marc is tailing Cornelia?”

Granny Luisa retorted, “Do you think I can’t think or see for myself?”

Dr. Lester was speechless.

Granny Luisa added, “The Hartley Group is back in Brennen’s hands. You must’ve seen the news.”

Dr. Lester replied, “Yes, I did.”

Granny Luisa said, “At a time like this, instead of dealing with the Hartley Group, Marc is worrying about his ex-wife’s allergy. Should I praise him for being caring or scold him for losing the Hartley Group?”

Dr. Lester replied, “Granny Luisa, I’m just Marc’s personal doctor. I have no idea about the Hartley Group.”

Granny Luisa retorted, “Whether you truly don’t know or just don’t want to say, we both know the truth.”

Granny Luisa had full faith in Marcus’s abilities. She didn’t believe Brennen could sn atch the Hartley Group from Marcus. Unless Marcus didn’t want the Hartley Group. Or the Hartley Group was bait set by him to lure Brennen into a trap.

If it was the latter, Brennen being in control of the Hartley Group now meant he would be doomed soon.

Dr. Lester didn’t elaborate further. He handed the medication to Patricia, “Patricia, this medication is different from the one I gave Cornelia before. It could alter a person’s resistance. If Cornelia takes it continuously, she might no longer be allergic to peanuts.”

Holding the medication, Patricia felt like she was holding a hot potato, “Granny Luisa, didn’t Grandpa Augustine say we shouldn’t go near Nelly anymore?”

Granny Luisa replied, “Give the medication to Grandpa Augustine and explain its purpose. He will understand.”

Patricia responded, “Okay” She took a few steps before running back, “Dr. Lester, I forgot to ask. Does this medication contain hormones? Can pregnant women take it?”
