The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge



Chapter 2376

It was a quiet night. The VIP ward of the hospital was so silent that even a pin drop could be heard.

In the office of the attending physician, Clarice placed a black bank card on the coffee table and leisurely sipped her tea.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Dr. Amaryllis, what do you mean by this?" Dr. Wagner stared at the card in astonishment.

Clarice smiled slowly and asked, "The blood test results for Mr. Salvador are out. Dr. Wagner, surely you must have noticed something unusual, right?"

Dr. Wagner hesitated in his words. "Mr. Salvador's blood sample does indeed contain some peculiar substances."

"For instance, methamphetamine?" Clarice added.

Dr. Wagner was stunned. "How do you know?!"

"In truth, you must have suspected this from the beginning of his treatment. His symptoms -rather than being signs of a recurring headache-are more akin to those of a drug withdrawal episode, aren't they?" Clarice's eyes gleamed coldly as she pressed him further.

Dr. Wagner's hands trembled, barely able to hold his teacup. He hurriedly tried to explain. " Severe headaches can sometimes induce similar reactions under intense stress. It doesn't necessarily mean drug withdrawal."

The idea that Justin, the esteemed president of the Salvador Corporation, might be battling a drug addiction was unthinkable.

If word got out, not only would the entire Salvador Corporation be shaken to its core, but the whole of Savrow would be thrown into chaos. His own life could also be in peril. He had to tread carefully!

With a crisp clink, Clarice placed her teacup down, a cold smirk playing on her lips. "What if it really is a case of drug addiction?"

Dr. Wagner broke into a cold sweat and stammered, "Dr. Amaryllis, what exactly are you implying?"

"I want you, as Mr. Salvador's attending physician, to issue a medical report stating that his illness is caused by drug abuse. Specify every substance found in the test results. This card contains a $10 million deposit. Once the task is done, you will receive an additional $20 million as compensation. You will not be shortchanged."

Raising her chin slightly, Clarice looked at him with an air of superiority. "That's $30 million. Dr. Wagner, you probably wouldn't earn that much even if you worked yourself to death in this job. Besides, I know you are in desperate need of money. Your son, who is studying abroad, has severely injured someone and is now in custody, requiring a hefty sum to resolve the matter. Your wife also needs a bone marrow transplant, which is no small

expense."

Dr. Wagner's eyes widened in shock. At this moment, standing before this woman, he felt utterly exposed, as if stripped bare. She had hit every nerve with precision, leaving him no room to resist.

"You hesitate only because you fear it is slander. You are afraid of offending Mr. Salvador and being unable to bear the consequences."

Clarice chuckled. "You need not worry. First, the tests did reveal illegal substances in Justin's blood sample. You are not slandering him. Secondly, the Salvador Corporation is on the brink of a new era."

"A new era?"

A gleam of greed flickered in the woman's eyes as she spoke with wild arrogance. "Justin's health is deteriorating. Whether it's due to drug use or addiction, he is no longer fit to lead as president. Now, Grant has returned. As the eldest grandson of the Salvador family, he is in excellent health and no less capable than Justin. Once Mr. Salvador steps down, Mr. Grant will take over the Salvador Corporation completely and become the rightful heir. By then, Dr. Wagner, your contribution will be invaluable. Mr. Grant will never forget your help."

Dr. Wagner felt as though he was sitting on pins and needles, his back drenched in cold sweat.

Yet he knew he had no choice. Becoming embroiled in the Salvador brothers' feud was his inescapable fate.

Reluctantly, he accepted the card with repeated expressions of gratitude.

Justin remained unconscious, yet Nigel insisted on staying in the hospital to watch over his grandson.

Despite his old age and exhaustion, Nigel refused to leave, no matter how others tried to persuade him. This forced Gregory to stay at the hospital as well.

However, Grant could see through it all.

Their grandfather, with his frail and aging body, stayed only to ensure Justin's safety and to prevent Grant from making any moves against him.

Sitting outside the hospital room, Grant stared through the glass at his comatose younger brother. The corners of his cold lips curled upward.
