Chapter 398

lan also knew Natalie was worried Joanna would try something.
And Natalie was right. The next day, a woman disguised as a nurse entered lan’s grandmother’s room.
Just as she was about to unplug the oxygen tube, lan burst in and stopped her.
The woman fled in a panic. Herbert, who was arriving to change the medication, saw the woman running away frantically.
Horrified, Herbert didn’t have time to stop the woman. He rushed to check on lan’s grandmother.
Her oxygen mask had been removed, but otherwise, she was fine.
“That scared me to death. If that oxygen mask had been off for ten minutes, your grandmother would have been gone.”
Herbert clutched his chest. Natalie had been right.
“Kid, until your grandmother wakes up, you can’t leave this room for a single step. I’ll have food and supplies sent in. Call me immediately if anything happens with her. Tomorrow is the last day. Once we get through tomorrow, she’ll be fine.”
lan’s eyes darkened. “Okay, Dr. Herbert. Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. Just doing my job.” It had been a close call. Herbert left slowly, his legs weak with fear of a medical incident.
lan looked at his grandmother’s peaceful face and breathed a sigh of relief.
He whispered, “Grandma, you’re going to be okay.”
Joanna, what she couldn’t have, she would destroy. He would get his revenge.
Natalie received a message from lan, telling her someone had tried to unplug his grandmother’s oxygen.
Natalie told him not to leave the hospital room.
Meanwhile, Joanna knew that after this failed attempt, another opportunity would be hard to come by.
She looked at Horace, her eyes cold. “Besides him, can you find any other kids?”
Horace nodded. “Yes. There’s no
shortage of talent in this industry This time, I’ve found lan’s arch-rival. His family isn’t well-off either; he’s
on financial and for his furtiversity
tuition.”
Horace added, “His talent is comparable to lan’s.”
Joanna smiled a strange, terrifying smile. “Go find him and bring him here. I want to meet him first, then we can arrange for him to join our company.”
Horace smiled. “Of course. His name is Owen Hart. He’s actually better connected
than lan. He’s a student at the university.”
Joanna was very pleased. “Excellent. Go get him now. I want their entire team working for our company.” Newest update provıded by ~net
Horace grinned. “Ms. Sanders, that’s a brilliant idea. Right now, they’re in their prime, full of youthful ambition. They’ll work themselves to the bone to make a name for themselves at the company.”
A little incentive and they would be fiercely loyal, especially kids from ordinary families.
Joanna was an expert at manipulating people, which was why she specifically targeted those in need of help.
“Go on. As for lan, if I can’t have him, no one can. Find an opportunity to ruin him.” Horace replied, “Understood. Our person wasn’t caught, but lan might suspect us.”
Joanna sneered, her voice dripping with arrogance. “So what if he suspects? What can a poor, powerless kid like him do?”
Horace agreed. Ian was just a hot-headed kid, not someone to be taken seriously. Time passed quickly.
Natalie hadn’t seen Sebastian in days.
She lay on the sofa, thinking. In her past life, he had gone abroad and returned injured, radiating a murderous aura.
But by then, he no longer needed her by his side. The person with him was Joanna. Tomorrow was Jared’s wedding.
In the afternoon, Natalie received a message from Susan, asking her to attend Jared’s wedding with her tomorrow.
