Flowers? As if she couldn't afford any kind she wanted. What was there to be so smug about?
Bitch!
Just then, a knock came at the office door.
Seline took a deep breath, her expression dark. She called out toward the door, "Come in."
Tanya knew Seline was in a foul mood, so she stepped forward and respectfully said, "Ms. Yates, here's everything you asked for on Cindy Hunt."
Seline froze for a second before reaching out to take the file from Tanya's hand. She held it between her fingers, her eyes scanning the details inside.
Cindy Hunt was the eldest daughter of her family. Her father, Kendall, was a giant in the transportation industry, a family with deep roots and serious influence. But now, Kendall was gravely ill. The doctors had already issued a critical notice—there was no hope of recovery.
The only person who could save him was the miracle doctor, Jane Smith.
Seline's brows furrowed tightly. No wonder she had kneeled in front of Suzanne last night, begging like that.
But with a background as powerful as the Hunt family's, why wouldn't Suzanne save him? That made no sense at all.
The next moment, however, Seline's lips curled into a faint smile. Whatever the reason, as long as Suzanne refused to help, that could only be a good thing.
Wasn't Suzanne always putting on airs, bragging about her medical skills?
She would have Cindy grow to hate Suzanne. When the time came, someone else would naturally deal with Suzanne for her.
More importantly, Cindy was no saint.
Back in school, she got into fights, smoked, drank, and dated—she played hard in every sense. She was once even reported to the police for campus violence. In the end, it was Kendall who stepped in, paid off the other party, and settled the matter.
