Chapter 435 Yvette Is Still Pretending
After all, even with Yvette’s powerful acupuncture skills, she couldn’t cure all diseases.
Sometimes, she could even be inaccurate..
Luis‘ only guess was that his old friend was merely seeking assistance on behalf of his disciple to transfer schools.
He said mockingly, “Victor, I know you want to promote your junior, but you don’t have to go to the extent of giving all the credit to her.”
“Giving her the credit? Alexis is right here. How could I be giving her credit?” Victor
asserted. He looked at Yvette, who was attempting to diminish his presence, and continued, “This student of yours was an apprentice of Hilda at that time. She should have heard who saved Mr. Quinnell Senior.”
Victor originally had no intention of troubling a junior.
So, when he saw Yvette, he remained silent.
However, every word from her seemed deliberately aimed at undermining Wynter, portraying her as worthless.
This finally made Victor feel unbearable. He said, “Wynter possesses the best medical skills
in the entire Southdale. I don’t understand why anyone would still doubt her just because
she is a trade school student.
“Your student may have been away from Southdale for too long. Perhaps being praised in Kingbourne has clouded her judgment, causing her to forget who she is.”
Yvette originally wanted to hide when she realized that the situation was turning unfavorable.
Now that Victor called her out, she became more embarrassed and awkward.
As soon as Hilda’s name was mentioned, the nature of the discussions among scholars changed.
ne
“Is it the one who got caught?”
“She’s Hilda’s apprentice?”
“Luis must be confused. Why did he accept Hilda’s apprentice as his student?”
Luis stood there, completely humiliated.
Chapter 435 Yvette Is Still Pretending
972
During their junior days, Victor had always overshadowed him.
It wasn’t until Victor went to Southdale while he remained in Kingbourne that he finally gained more recognition.
This time, Luis wanted to use the transfer of schools matter to embarrass those who had surpassed him in the past in front of all the scholars.
He never imagined that Victor would have such a connection.
Now, instead of getting what he wanted, he became the subject of discussion.
Also, how could Yvette hide such a significant thing from him?
Although the Gibsons‘ case occurred in Southdale, the repercussions of it were equally negative anywhere else!
Those associated with Hilda had a tarnished reputation in the medical community!
“Yvette, tell me, what’s going on?” Luis demanded after coming back to his senses. He wanted to distance himself from her.
“If I had known you were Hilda’s apprentice, I would never have allowed you into my laboratory!” he exclaimed.
Yvette panicked. She hadn’t expected Victor to bring up their past. She had worked so hard to give herself a new identity in Kingbourne. She couldn’t afford to ruin it today.
Feeling unwilling, tears streamed down her face as she held her hands. She said, “Mr. Xalazar, most of the doctors in Southdale are the Gibsons‘ students. After all, the Gibsons hold significant influence locally, and we dare not refuse.”
Yvette spoke through her tears, making it seem like Victor was bullying her.
“Mr. Lopez, I don’t understand why you had to bring this matter up. I had always known this was my regret, but I couldn’t help it. I was just a student. Hilda asked me to be her apprentice. I had no choice.”
Yvette sobbed, appearing genuinely pitiful.
The scholars present also couldn’t bear it.
Victor had never encountered such a shameless young lady before. He would definitely beat his grandchild, Quinton, to death when he returned home! What kind of friends had he made?
