Evelyn Hanson quickly lowered her voice and said in the receptionist’s ear,
"Hello, I’m a representative from Eastern Hospital.
Although our hospital is currently only a grade-three B hospital, it might soon be upgraded to grade-three A.
How about you give us a break and let us in? We also have an invitation."
I don’t have the authority to let you in."
Evelyn hit a wall and felt somewhat dejected.
What are you all doing here?"
As Emily and Evelyn were being stopped outside, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind.
Adam Willow walked over.
Adam was accompanying Director Dan to this reception today.
After learning from Sophie Parker that he would become Dr. X’s student in the future, Adam had intentionally or unintentionally mentioned it to the director that his paper had been guided by Dr. X.
Director Dan then assumed he knew Dr. X, so he insisted on taking Adam to this reception.
Being invited to a reception of this level at such a young age, Adam felt a bit conceited.
You’re here for the reception too?
Could you do us a favor and take us inside?
My dad particularly asked me to come, saying he wanted me to meet more people."
Evelyn had no choice but to swallow her pride and plead with Adam Willow.
Adam glanced at Emily Parker beside him; both were his old classmates.
Just as Adam was about to speak, the sound of high heels clattered.
"Dad, look, isn’t that my sister over there?
Isn’t she trying to ruin your hosting duties?"
Father Parker and Sophie Parker walked over arm in arm. Sophie, in a black cocktail dress and a dazzling diamond necklace around her neck, walked proudly toward Emily like a peacock flaunting its feathers.
Father Parker, unlike Emily’s plainly dressed T-shirt and jeans, looked as if she was a cleaner for the reception.
Father Parker valued face greatly. His attendance at the reception was as an official representative to the X Institute.
Mrs. Parker had caught a cold a few days ago, so Sophie accompanied him as his partner.
Recalling his elder daughter’s previous act of severing ties, Father Parker couldn’t help but snort coldly.
"What are you doing here?
Today’s guests are prominent figures in the medical field and international friends. Don’t embarrass me here."
"Brother Adam, why are you still standing here?
I heard everyone from the institute is here, and Dr. X might also attend this reception. If he sees you, he will definitely be very happy."
Sophie Parker pulled Father Parker’s hand, walked over, left hand holding Father Parker, right hand holding Adam Willow, her face full of showing off.
"Are you sure Dr. X will be happy to see him?"
Emily Parker couldn’t help but cough lightly.
As if Dr. X wanted to see you.
Brother Adam is a medical genius.
The international journal paper he published was guided by Dr. X too."
Sophie deliberately spoke very loudly.
At this time, the reception was only minutes away from starting.
Many entering attendees heard this sentence.
Everyone couldn’t help but focus their attention on Adam Willow, and Father Parker nodded repeatedly, more satisfied with Adam Willow as his future son-in-law. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel-fire.net
"Let’s go in first, can’t keep Dr. X waiting."
Sophie said, then strutted in.
That woman is so infuriating!"
Evelyn regretted dragging Emily to the reception today.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have run into Sophie Parker and Adam Willow, those two scoundrels.
"Don’t worry, someone will come to fetch us soon."
Emily Parker said as she made a phone call.
After a while, Master Lowe, wearing a Zhongshan suit, came running briskly.
I almost forgot, you’re Master Lowe’s prized apprentice.
How could he not attend such a top-level medical reception?"
Evelyn’s anger instantly turned to joy.
Master Lowe approached Emily Parker, smilingly said,
"Mentor, you arrived!"
Evelyn’s smile froze instantly.
Behind them, in a descending transparent elevator, Carlos slightly frowned upon catching sight of Emily.
"Why is she here too?"
