Chapter 1012 Baited Isabella was getting frustrated. âHave you no shame? It was you who lost to me in the first place. I earned this position through my abilities. Why should I give it up for you?â
Alvin strolled up to her and looked down at her condescendingly, his face full of disdain.
âYour ability? How dare you even mention that? You only got that position because of Nancy. Now that sheâs no longer at Grace Hospital, what abilities do you have left?â
âSo what? Networking is also a skill. Besides, even if my medical skills are not as good as Neeraâs, they are more than enough compared to yours! If Iâm incompetent, then what does that make you? A piece of trash?â
Isabella had been tolerant toward him since they were family.
However, she realized she had nothing to gain by being kind to him. Hence, she thought she might as well bare her fangs.
âAlvin, you are the most useless one! Youâre incompetent, only capable of shamelessly scheming against your own family. Youâve violated our ancestral rules, exploited the sick to plot against me, and even heartlessly harmed Grandpa. Arenât you afraid of divine retribution?â
She cursed at him as she struggled, wishing she could rush over and give him a few tight slaps.
Alvin took a step back, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes as he chuckled coldly.
âI have defeated you. What right do you have to bluster? Calling me useless? Grace Hospital and the entire Lopez family business will soon fall into my hands. All you can do is look on with envy. Youâll never have a chance to turn the tables in this lifetime! As for scheming, itâs merely a means to an end, a trade-off. Once everything is settled, I will certainly rescue Grandpa. As long as he acknowledges me, I will ensure he lives out his days in comfort and peace. As for you, stay put right here until Iâve achieved my goals!â
Isabellaâs eyes turned red with fury as she cursed through gritted teeth.
âYouâre absolutely despicable! Grandpa has treated you well, yet you repay his kindness with treachery.
Your actions are utterly shameless. You have no sense of decency!â
Alvin laughed. âThis is considered shameless? I can be even more shameless, my dear cousin. I heard that Nancy is recommending you for the World Medical Alliance?â
What?
Isabella was taken aback, not quite understanding how the conversation had suddenly shifted to this topic.
She had no idea about it.
Her ever-changing expressions, as seen through Alvinâs eyes, were taken as confirmation of the matter.
âIt seems this matter is indeed true.â
He crouched down, a playful smirk on his face. âHow about this?â He proposed, âLetâs make a deal.
You give me the recommendation letter, okay? As long as you hand over this opportunity to me, I can let you go without a scratch right now.â
It wasnât a discussion, it was a threat.
Although Isabella was unsure of what was going on, she still sneered and laughed, showing her disdain for him.
âAlvin, what kind of grandiose dreams are you having? Even if I had a spot to give, would you dare to take it? Do you think youâre worthy? The World Medical Alliance has standards, you know. Someone of your caliber, Iâm afraid they wouldnât even let you through the door!â
This remark instantly made Alvinâs face turn cold, looking extremely terrifying.
He said in a chilly voice, âIsabella, are you choosing to do this the hard way?â
Isabella was not scared at all. She stood her ground and confronted him.
âSo what? If you have the guts, you can kill me right now! Let me tell you, even if I die here today, I wonât fulfill your wish!â
Fury blazed in Alvinâs eyes as he roughly grabbed her hair, yanking it back. âIsabella, do you really think I wouldnât dare to harm you?â he threatened. âIâm giving you one last chance. Where exactly is the recommendation letter? Speak up! Or else youâll regret it!â
In pain, Isabella had no choice but to tilt her head back and meet his gaze. Yet, she resolutely refused to speak, even going so far as to spit at him.
âTsk! Dream on, thereâs no chance!â
Alvin wiped the spit off his face, his frustration evident. A fierce anger flickered in his eyes, momentarily tempting him to resort to physical violence.
However, just as he raised his hand to potentially strike her, a sudden idea crossed his mind, causing him to abruptly change his course.
âIsabella, you constantly accuse me of being heartless. Now, letâs see how compassionate you really are. After all, Grandpa has always been kindest to you, and you wouldnât want to see him die, would you? If you hand over the recommendation letter, I promise I can help Grandpa recover. But if you still refuse, then prepare yourself for the news of Grandpaâs death!â.
Isabellaâs pupils constricted, her face turning green with anger.
This shameless individual, heâs not even human. How can he use Grandpaâs life as a means of coercion and temptation?
Seeing her expression, Alvin knew his words had hit the mark. He felt a surge of satisfaction as if everything was going according to plan.
âThe choice is yours. Think carefully about what you should do. If you want Grandpa to live, then you must, follow my instructions!â
Isabella gritted her teeth in resentment. âYouâ¦â
However, before she could speak, a sneer sounded from the entrance of the room.
âWow, Iâm truly enlightened today. To achieve your own goals, you could even disregard the life of your own grandfather, treating it as a bargaining chip. Iâve truly seen it all now.â
Upon hearing the voice, Alvin and his assistant were startled, quickly turning their heads to look behind them.
Bang-
The door was suddenly kicked open and Nears and lean strolled in leisurely Upon seeing her savior, Isabella could hardly contain her excitement. âNeera! Youâre here!â
Neera first checked on Isabella, relieved to find her unharmed. She exchanged a reassuring glance with Isabella before redirecting her attention to Alvin.
âH-How did you find this place?
Alvinâs expression underwent a dramatic transformation, clearly reflecting his own surprise and disbelief.
Neera scoffed, âOf course, you gave yourself away. I didnât expect you to take the bait so quickly.â
Alvinâs face darkened. He questioned her, âWhat do you mean?â
After asking, a thought immediately hit him.
Could it beâ¦
Neeraâs eyes were filled with mockery as she delivered her cutting remarks. âJust a recommendation letter and youâre already busted. Someone like you will never accomplish anything noteworthy. Your only skill appears to be those unconventional methods. Youâve gone as far as persecuting your own grandfather and even kidnapping your own cousin to achieve your goals, Alvin. Youâre still so young.
Why be so reckless, speeding toward à prison sentence?â
