Chapter 101
“Director Schuman, you’re overthinking. Mr. Reeves is someone I can’t reach. I can’t establish a relationship with him. I have nothing to do with him.”
Christine did not want to have anything to do with Randall.
your
“Randall is the CEO of Reeves Group. The Reeves family is a top-notch wealthy family in our Archiland. With background, marrying into a prestigious family may make you feel a sense of being unworthy. But when fate comes knocking, there’s no way to stop it. Mr. Reeves likes you, and Mrs. Daisy and Mrs. Elizabeth all like you. As for others, even if they have mutual affection, they may face opposition from the wealthy mother-in-law. But you are different. Not only does the mother-in-law like you, but the matriarch also likes you. It’s as if you were pulled into a wealthy family with great admiration. You just rest assured and wait to become the young lady of the Reeves family that makes people envy.”
“Mr. Schuman…”
As Christine was about to explain, a stern voice came from behind.
“Gerald, you’re not old, but why are your eyesight and hearing failing you?”
Christine and the director turned around and saw Mrs. Foster, Sabrina, appear cold and aloof from behind.
Sabrina walked over, her expression growing increasingly gloomy.
“Didn’t Dr. Nancy tell you she has nothing to with Randall? Are you having trouble thinking clearly, or is your hearing impaired? It seems you’re not suitable to be the director of Healthstone Hospital.”
Gerald was stunned to hear that. Why was Sabrina here? And did she mean to strip off his position?
Would he be so unlucky? Didn’t he just send away the important figure? Why did she come back again? “Mrs… Mrs. Foster…”
Before Gerald could finish his sentence, Sabrina said sternly. “I think it’s time for you to be replaced as the director.”
Although the Foster family did not have as many shares as the Reeves family, they were still the second-largest shareholder of Healthstone Hospital.
The director felt utterly disheartened. He had just narrowly escaped one calamity and now suddenly facing another catastrophic situation.
He had come out too early. He should have hidden himself.
Gerald quickly slapped himself twice and explained in a panic, “Mrs. Foster, I apologize for speaking nonsense and making you unhappy. I’m sorry”
Gerald was dumbfounded. What magic did this Nancy have that made the two wealthy families in Archiland fond of her? Dealing with mothers-in-law from wealthy families was often said to be the most challenging. She was not a noblewoman from a prestigious background. And even if she possessed exceptional medical skills, she was just a doctor without influential connections. It was not worth two wealthy families fighting over her.
She had an ordinary background. It was truly a mystery that she was sought after by mothers-in-law of wealthy families to enter their prestigious circles.
‘Gerald, as a director in a hospital, your focus should indeed be on effectively managing the hospital and serving the patients. Do you think it’s easier to be a matchmaker, and are you considering changing profession?”
Gerald felt frustrated. This woman from the Foster family’s anger had not subsided yet.
“Mrs. Foster, I’m really sorry! It’s my mistake to say the wrong thing. Please don’t stoop to my level.”
The scene of the director slapping himself in the face created a commotion, causing people in the hospital to turn their heads and gaze in astonishment.
Oh god… What was going on? The director was merely flattering Nancy earlier, saying if she were to marry into the Reeves family, she must take care of him.
But it seemed to have touched Mrs. Foster’s nerve.
Indeed, Dr. Nancy seemed to have been born with incredible luck. It was truly extraordinary to witness the drama of two wealthy families vying for a daughter-in-law.
Seeing Mrs. Foster angry, Christine went forward and held Sabrina’s hand. “Mrs. Foster, are you looking for me?”
Sabrina was initially furious, but her anger dissipated instantly when Christine held her arm.
She said in her usual gentle manner, “I reserved a handbag, and it was delivered today. I placed the order for this bag a year ago and finally have it now. I think this bag suits you well, and you’ll look great carrying it. That’s why I decided to send i over to you. What do you think of this bag? Do you find it appealing?”
Sabrina took out the bag, and the onlookers’ eyes were dazzled almost to the point of blindness.
That was a top-notch bag from an international luxury brand and a global limited edition.
Moreover, it was adorned with diamonds all over, and a single diamond detached from it would be of significant value.
Such a beautiful bag was given away just like that.
She was indeed too extravagant.
“This bag is really beautiful but must be highly valuable. I can’t accept it.”
“It’s mine. Why can’t you accept it? You carry it and let me see.”
Christine indeed looked great carrying the bag. The bag was really too eye-catching.
It was truly radiant. The bag could cure all ailments, as the saying went.
This was the effect.
“You look stunning carrying it. I knew it would suit you. By the way, how about we go shopping for clothes later?” “Sure. But I will have to work a little late before I can leave.”
“I’ll wait for you. We’ll go shopping together after you finish work.”
“Alright, Mrs. Foster. Wait for me inside.”
Holding hands, the two walked into the hospital, and everyone turned to look at them.
**
The Reeves family seemed to have a generous financial capability, spending billions on hotels. The Foster family seemed unable to compare in that aspect. However, the handbag gifted was of considerable value, and they appeared to have a close friendship, like a pair of best friends.
Emotionally, Mrs. Foster might have won.
Nancy was indeed impressive. She managed to handle the notoriously difficult mothers-in-law from wealthy families so smoothly.
One of the wealthy mothers-in-law was willing to spend money, and the other seemed to have a close relationship. Who between these two wealthy families could snatch Nancy away?
Whatever it was, anyone would feel envious. It was not just one person that she could successfully handle but two. Indeed, the fate of being the tycoon’s wife was so strong.
Christine held Mrs. Foster’s hand, and the two entered the hospital.
“Nancy, I heard you accepted a hotel worth hundreds of millions from the Reeves family. Are you in a relationship with
Randall?”
Sabrina was furious when she found out the old lady from the Reeves family tried to bribe Nancy with a hotel worth hundreds of millions.
Nancy was the prospective daughter-in-law she had set her eyes on, regardless of the first-come-first-serve basis.
She actually did something behind her back. It was simply infuriating.
“Mrs. Foster, don’t misunderstand. I have nothing to do with Randall. I indeed accepted the hotel, but I don’t know how to explain it to you. It’s a little complicated.”
‘It doesn’t matter. I’ll believe you provided it isn’t that kind of relationship with him. You don’t have to explain.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Foster.”
“You know I have always liked you since you were little. Even if you don’t become my daughter-in-law, you are my daughter. The Reeves family must obtain my consent if they want to marry you. Thinking that they can buy their way into marrying you, they’re indeed too simple-minded.”
Christine had initially wanted to explain her relationship with Duncan again, but now hearing Mrs. Foster’s words, she knew that Mrs. Foster understood her.
She instantly felt much more relaxed.
“Mrs. Foster, thank you.”
“Why are you thanking me again? You’re treating me like an outsider. If Duncan doesn’t have the ability to marry you, it simply means he doesn’t have the blessing for it. However, our relationship mustn’t change.”
“Yeah.”
Christine nodded. Sabrina hugged Christine as intimately as a mother hugging her daughter.)
