Chapter 468:

Mara was taken aback by the look on Jada’s face. Grasping Jada’s hand, she said, “We made a mistake this time. We didn’t realize the lab belonged to Andrew.”

Jada’s reflection in the window mirrored her icy, terrifying expression. She wouldn’t back down.

“Jada, Andrew…” Mara hesitated, studying Jada’s face before continuing with a heavy sigh, “He’s not a simple man. I think we should consider other options. There are plenty of promising young men in Ansport.” Jada was determined not to give up easily.

She and Mara had played the roles of good cop and bad cop in an attempt to force Andrew into marrying Jada. However, their plan had backfired, turning them into subjects of ridicule. It was clear that Andrew’s capabilities and strategies were far more formidable than they had anticipated.

“But now, the most eligible bachelors are Andrew and Dane, and Andrew is with Madisyn, while that bitch Susan is with Dane. If Susan and Dane end up marrying and their relationship grows stronger, we will lose our standing in the Riggs family!” Jada yelled. If she couldn’t have Andrew, she wanted Dane, but Susan had tainted Dane’s appeal for her.

“Things can change,” Mara said optimistically. “How could they marry so easily? By the way, what about Norton from the Santos family? He’s also a good choice!” Mara added suddenly. “And isn’t he fond of you? The Santos family is nearly as powerful as Andrew’s family.”

Jada’s spirits soured at the mention of Norton. Yes, Norton was a good choice, but he had a girlfriend now. Determined, she decided to find out who his girlfriend was. She was confident that she could win Norton over if she set her mind to it.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, things were awkward after Jada left.

Belen was troubled, her perception of Jada shattered. “Boss, I’m really sorry. I made a mistake,” Belen said softly.

Andrew’s face remained stern. “You gave Jada an unfinished version of the medicine. If someone uses it, it could be disastrous.”

“I understand,” Belen replied, tears slipping down her cheeks. “But my intentions were good. We all respect you and hope you’d be with someone as remarkable as you are. We looked into Madisyn, but she doesn’t seem exceptional.”

Madisyn was taken aback. Was it really appropriate to criticize her to her face?

Andrew, holding Madisyn close, said firmly, “In my eyes, she’s perfect. Who are you to question my choice?”

Belen’s lips tightened; she was clearly unconvinced. Madisyn, looking at Belen, said, “Sometimes, you can’t judge anything by its appearance.”

“What do you mean?” Belen asked, puzzled.

Madisyn leaned in and whispered in Belen’s ear, “Everyone has been working hard lately. Thank you for your efforts. You would have received a generous bonus if this hadn’t happened. Belen, you’ve been misled. Don’t judge everything by its appearance. Do you understand?”

When Belen heard the familiar voice, her eyes flew open in shock as she gazed at the young, strikingly beautiful face before her. It was Dr. Mia! Her mind reeled as she realized the truth. She had mistaken Jada for a virtuous person, but in reality, Jada was far from it. Conversely, Madisyn, whom she had undervalued, was actually the renowned Dr. Mia. No wonder she said those words!

Belen was taken aback. “I was wrong… Dr. Mia…” Belen stammered. “I misjudged…”

Madisyn was caught off guard. Why did Belen say that out loud?

The revelation stunned everyone. Andrew’s gaze fixed on Madisyn, and Andrew’s assistant’s excitement was palpable. Madisyn was Dr. Mia. It all made sense now. No wonder she had been absent recently—she had been occupied with developing the medicine for Damari.

Realizing that everyone had overheard, Madisyn decided to come clean. She stood straight and admitted, “Yes, I am Dr. Mia.”

The assistant, buzzing with excitement, exclaimed, “Miss Johns, you’re incredible! Dr. Mia has always been my idol. Could I have your autograph?” Madisyn smiled and nodded.

The corridor fell into stunned silence.

Dr. Mia? Who was she?

To some, the name meant little, but not everyone was in the dark. Soren’s eyes widened as realization dawned on him. Dr. Mia was a nationally renowned physician known for her discretion and elusive nature. Could it really be true? Was Madisyn truly Dr. Mia? Was that possible?

How old was she?

“Soren, what’s all the fuss about? Is Dr. Mia?” someone asked, confused.

With a thoughtful expression, Soren explained, “Dr. Mia is famously known as the leader of the Lambert family.”

Indeed, it was she who had performed the miraculous treatment.
