Harriet hurried to the VIP ward of the internal medicine department.

In the ward, the doctor was conducting emergency treatment.

Jerome's father was there, so were her stepmother, Bella Sharp, and her half-sister, Hailey Lopes.

They hadn't seen each other for two years.

Jerome looked a bit embarrassed to see his daughter, "Harriet, you're here."

Harriet sneered without saying anything.

Bella spoke in a tone dripping acid.

"Tsk, Miss Lopes, you're well-informed! You haven't been back for two years. When the old man is dying, you show up. Waiting for his death and dividing his property? I'm telling you, it's not that easy!"

Hailey chimed in, "Indeed! All these years, it is my mother who has been taking care of him. Aren't you too anxious for benefits?"

What?

Stupefied, Harriet glared at the mother and daughter.

They were shameless.

Bella, originally a nanny of their house, hooked up with her master, Jerome.

By the time when their love affairs were exposed, their daughter was already eight years old!

They cheated on her mother for so many years under the same roof!

Her mother, Serena Wood, ran away from home in a huff while her grandpa, Ryan, was having a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot!

The past event sent a pricking pain through her, and the corner of her lips curved up in a sneer.

"You're shameless to say that you took care of my grandfather. What are the nurses and doctors for?"

Bella was surprised by her dramatic change in temperament in two years. Never had she dared to talk back in the past.

Bella rodomontaded, "I paid for the treatment!"

"Huh?"

Harriet's chest hurt with anger.

Did she pay for it? What a thick skin! Even Jerome didn't dare to say that!

True, Jerome was the current CEO of Ever Sun Group.

But the company belonged to the Wood Family! If Jerome didn't marry Serena, he was dirt poor!

Harriet snorted, "A bunch of parasites, how dare you say such things! Then again, it makes sense cuz you're shameless!"

"What did you say?" Bella changed countenance and gnashed her teeth.

Jerome frowned, "Stop it. Is this a place for your quarrel?"

"Jerome, see... this girl is so ignorant. She challenges me as soon as she comes back."

Beep...

Suddenly, the monitor inside gave out a piercing alarm.

Startled, Harriet tried to rush in, "Grandpa!"

Jerome checked her, "Harriet, don't interrupt the rescue!"

Hailey quietly pulled Bella, "Mom."

Bella curled up her lips, "I'm calling the attorney! The old man couldn't make it!"

The doctor hurriedly pushed open the door and got in, "The patient's relatives, come here!"

"Okay!"

Harriet and Jerome replied at the same time, "I am."

The doctor explained.

"The patient's current condition is terrible, and he is senile... While he's in a constant coma for so many years, his organs have failed, so it's not optimistic about continuing the rescue. Now I want to know your opinions. Will you give up on the rescue? If you do, sign the paper..."

"No!" Harriet blurted out, "We're not signing it!"

Jerome frowned, "Harriet, your grandpa's condition is terrible. Survival like this is a kind of torture to him..."

"Humph!" Harriet sneered, "Do you think I don't know it? You're expecting my grandpa's death! In that case, the Ever Sun Group will be yours for the taking!"

"How dare you..." Jerome was ashamed into anger, "Should any daughter talk to her father like this? You're maliciously suspecting me."

"Father?" Harriet glared at him, ferociously, "You're not worthy. I lost my father at the age of ten!"
