Chapter 1012

Isabella was getting frustrated. “Have you no shame? It was you who lost to me in the first place. I earned thisposition through my abilities. Why should I give it up for you?”

Alvin strolled up to her and looked down at her condescendingly, his face full of disdain.

“Your ability? How dare you even mention that? You only got that position because of Nancy. Now that she's nolonger at Grace Hospital, what abilities do you have left?”

“So what? Networking is also a skill. Besides, even if my medical skills are not as good as Neera's, they are morethan enough compared to yours! If I'm incompetent, then what does that make you? A piece of trash?”

Isabella had been tolerant toward him since they were family.

However, she realized she had nothing to gain by being kind to him. Hence, she thought she might as well bareher fangs.

“Alvin, you are the most useless one! You're incompetent, only capable of shamelessly scheming against yourown family. You've violated our ancestral rules, exploited the sick to plot against me, and even heartlessly harmedGrandpa. Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?”

She cursed at him as she struggled, wishing she could rush over and give him a few tight slaps.

Alvin took a step back, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes as he chuckled coldly.

“I have defeated you. What right do you have to bluster? Calling me useless? Grace Hospital and the entire Lopezfamily business will soon fall into my hands. All you can do is look on with envy. You'll never have a chance toturn the tables in this lifetime! As for scheming, it's merely a means to an end, a trade-off. Once everything is

settled, I will certainly rescue Grandpa. As long as he acknowledges me, I will ensure he lives out his days incomfort and peace. As for you, stay put right here until I've achieved my goals!”

Isabella's eyes turned red with fury as she cursed through gritted teeth.

“You're absolutely despicable! Grandpa has treated you well, yet you repay his kindness with treachery. Youractions are utterly shameless. You have no sense of decency!”

Alvin laughed. “This is considered shameless? I can be even more shameless, my dear cousin. I heard that Nancyis recommending you for the World Medical Alliance?”

What?

Isabella was taken aback, not quite understanding how the conversation had suddenly shifted to this topic.

She had no idea about it.

Her ever-changing expressions, as seen through Alvin's eyes, were taken as confirmation of the matter.

“It seems this matter is indeed true.”

He crouched down, a playful smirk on his face. “How about this?” He proposed, “Let's make a deal. You give methe recommendation letter, okay? As long as you hand over this opportunity to me, I can let you go without ascratch right now.”

It wasn't a discussion, it was a threat.

Although Isabella was unsure of what was going on, she still sneered and laughed, showing her disdain for him. novelbin

“Alvin, what kind of grandiose dreams are you having? Even if I had a spot to give, would you dare to take it? Doyou think you're worthy? The World Medical Alliance has standards, you know. Someone of your caliber, I'mafraid they wouldn't even let you through the door!”

This remark instantly made Alvin's face turn cold, looking extremely terrifying.

He said in a chilly voice, “Isabella, are you choosing to do this the hard way?”

Isabella was not scared at all. She stood her ground and confronted him.

“So what? If you have the guts, you can kill me right now! Let me tell you, even if I die here today, I won't fulfillyour wish!”

Fury blazed in Alvin's eyes as he roughly grabbed her hair, yanking it back. “Isabella, do you really think Iwouldn't dare to harm you?” he threatened. “I'm giving you one last chance. Where exactly is therecommendation letter? Speak up! Or else you'll regret it!”

In pain, Isabella had no choice but to tilt her head back and meet his gaze. Yet, she resolutely refused to speak,even going so far as to spit at him.

“Tsk! Dream on, there's no chance!”

Alvin wiped the spit off his face, his frustration evident. A fierce anger flickered in his eyes, momentarilytempting him to resort to physical violence.

However, just as he raised his hand to potentially strike her, a sudden idea crossed his mind, causing him toabruptly change his course.

“Isabella, you constantly accuse me of being heartless. Now, let's see how compassionate you really are. After all,Grandpa has always been kindest to you, and you wouldn't want to see him die, would you? If you hand over therecommendation letter, I promise I can help Grandpa recover. But if you still refuse, then prepare yourself for thenews of Grandpa's death!”

Isabella's pupils constricted, her face turning green with anger.

This shameless individual, he's not even human. How can he use Grandpa's life as a means of coercion andtemptation?

Seeing her expression, Alvin knew his words had hit the mark. He felt a surge of satisfaction as if everything wasgoing according to plan.

“The choice is yours. Think carefully about what you should do. If you want Grandpa to live, then you mustfollow my instructions!”

Isabella gritted her teeth in resentment. “You...”

However, before she could speak, a sneer sounded from the entrance of the room.

“Wow, I'm truly enlightened today. To achieve your own goals, you could even disregard the life of your owngrandfather, treating it as a bargaining chip. I've truly seen it all now.”

Upon hearing the voice, Alvin and his assistant were startled, quickly turning their heads to look behind them.

Bang—

The door was suddenly kicked open, and Neera and Jean strolled in leisurely.

Upon seeing her savior, Isabella could hardly contain her excitement. “Neera! You're here!”

Neera first checked on Isabella, relieved to find her unharmed. She exchanged a reassuring glance with Isabellabefore redirecting her attention to Alvin.

“H-How did you find this place?”

Alvin's expression underwent a dramatic transformation, clearly reflecting his own surprise and disbelief.

Neera scoffed, “Of course, you gave yourself away. I didn't expect you to take the bait so quickly.”

Alvin's face darkened. He questioned her, “What do you mean?”

After asking, a thought immediately hit him.

Could it be...

Neera's eyes were filled with mockery as she delivered her cutting remarks. “Just a recommendation letter andyou're already busted. Someone like you will never accomplish anything noteworthy. Your only skill appears tobe those unconventional methods. You've gone as far as persecuting your own grandfather and even kidnappingyour own cousin to achieve your goals, Alvin. You're still so young. Why be so reckless, speeding toward aprison sentence?”
