Chapter 48
48:
Brenna, unwilling to tolerate any more slander, responded without hesitation. She slapped Isabella across the face and said coldly, “Just because you don’t know about my medical expertise doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Why do you insist on spreading falsehoods and tarnishing my reputation? You know well what kind of people your family members are. If I revealed my true capability, they’d take advantage of me without hesitation!”
Isabella, seething with rage, glared at Brenna. “How dare you hit me? And in front of all these people? How could you be so disrespectful?”
Without another word, she lunged at Brenna.
Alec and Ruby immediately rushed forward to support their daughter, turning the hospital room into a scene of complete chaos.
Brenna reacted instantly, yanking Isabella and Ruby back by their hair and shoving them aside to prevent them from colliding with Vincent’s hospital bed.
“The Barrett family has truly lost all sense of shame. You don’t deserve any respect,” Brenna said icily.
“Get out.” Ethan’s gaze darkened as he shot the Barretts a look filled with contempt.
Just as he finished speaking, Neville strode in, accompanied by several Mitchell family bodyguards. Without hesitation, the bodyguards dragged the Barrett family out.
Lindsay and Landen, watching from the doorway, exchanged glances. If Brenna was truly skilled in medicine, why would the Barretts cause such a scene? Brenna must be a fraud.
They trailed after the fuming Barretts to Room 111, eager to dig up more information on Brenna.

Meanwhile, the medical experts they had invited were expected to arrive soon. They were determined to expose Brenna, ensuring she would never be allowed to practice medicine again.
Alec and Ruby wasted no time painting Brenna in the worst possible light.
“Brenna was never bright—always at the bottom of her class, struggling to keep up,” Alec said.
“And lazy, too! Constantly picking fights and getting into trouble. Eventually, she caused such a mess that she had to run away overseas,” Ruby added.
Back in Room 101, just as Brenna was about to begin the examination, Emmett stepped forward and stopped her. His expression was serious as he said, “Dr. Harper, I believe it would be best to have a few experts assist you.”
The rest of the Mitchell family shared the same sentiment. The seasoned doctors in the room agreed as well. With years of medical expertise behind them, they had exhausted every possible treatment for Vincent’s condition without success. The idea that a woman barely in her twenties could surpass their skills and achieve what they couldn’t was simply inconceivable.
To be honest, they didn’t believe Brenna was that skilled at all.
