Chapter 387

At that moment, the door to the elevator suddenly opened.

A few men in black walked out with a handsome man in a tuxedo leading them. The leader had a powerful aura, and his face shone with cruelty.

Lucas’ frown exuded a murderous ambiance, and his gaze was sharp and cruel. It was plain to see that he was someone to be reckoned with.

He had one hand in his pocket, while his other hand held his phone as he walked towards the crowd.

Ashlyn turned to him, and their eyes met in the middle of the room.

Lucas’ dark eyes stared at her face for half a second; everything seemed calm. A few seconds later, he retracted his gaze and stood in front of the hospital’s director.

“Mr. Nolan, what brings you here?” asked the director, who looked a little surprised when he saw Lucas there.

Spencer calmly told the director, “Our master has an important announcement to make, so please gather all the heads of the departments.”

The hospital director had a bad feeling. The mysterious investor that’s supposed to take over the hospital… Could it be…

The director didn’t even dare go down that rabbit hole. He quickly ordered the second-in-command, “Go set everything up right away!”

At the office of the second-in-command.

Penelope was examining Jerry’s back and saw that there was a huge bruise on it. “That Ashlyn Berry is too much! How could she be so mean?”

“The director watched me grow up. I’m sure he will chase Ashlyn away,” scowled Jerry angrily before he added, “You have to help me seek revenge, dad!”

“Don’t worry. Given my close relationship with the director, Ashlyn will definitely be fired,” comforted the second-in-command.

Penelope was helping Jerry apply some medicine when Jerry reached out to hold her hand. “Thank you for being so kind to me, Penelope.”

Penelope was a little shy because the second-in-command was in the room. So, she retracted her hand and said, “Don’t do that. You’ll just make me blush.”

The second-in-command grinned happily. He knew that the Berrys had some money and were somewhat rich, so he was glad to see his son being with Penelope.

Penelope later followed the second-in-command and Jerry into the conference room.

The conference room was already packed with the top management of the hospital.

The second-in-command couldn’t help but frown when he saw that Ashlyn was sitting with the head surgeon.

“Ashlyn isn’t the head of her department, and this meeting is only for the top management. She has no right to be here.”

The director was reading the document he had with him. He turned his gaze to Penelope, who was standing behind the second-in-command. “Sister Berry isn’t even a doctor, but she’s here too, isn’t she?” the hospital director stated.

That was when the second-in-command realized that Penelope was there too. His face froze over, and he stopped complaining.

After that, the director instructed his assistant, “Tell every doctor and nurse to come in for the meeting.

Only one doctor from each department should keep working.”

The second-in-command sat down. It wasn’t right for him to say anything anymore.

A few minutes later, every doctor and nurse in the hospital showed up.

The best seat in the room – the one that used to be the director’s – was now being occupied by a tall and unearthly handsome man. The man had a black tuxedo on; he looked striking. It was virtually impossible for anyone to look away from him.

The director then stood up and introduced, “This is the First Hospital’s major shareholder, Mr. Lucas Nolan. Please welcome him.”

Everyone gasped in astonishment.

Lucas Nolan? As in the president of the Nolan Group?

Lucas scanned everyone sitting in the room, and his cruel voice sounded, “Starting today, Nolan Group will take over the hospital’s management, and we have decided to fire Dr. John and Jerry Sherman.”

Lucas’ words made everyone gasp once more.

Jerry couldn’t believe it. He sprang up while slamming his hand against the desk. He protested, “I am a doctor who has studied overseas, and my skills are better than most doctors here! How dare you fire me?”

Jerry had graduated from a renowned university, so his salary and other benefits were better than most other doctors. He had a good shot at being a manager after working for two more years, but Lucas was firing him then and there?

Jerry’s heart gripped. No, that’s not possible!

A man in black entered the room at that moment and handed a folder to Spencer. The latter quickly opened the folder and put it in front of Lucas.
