Chapter 30 The Turning Point
Scarlett frowned. Who did these people think they were–saints?
Just as she was about to speak, Wendy rushed out from the ward and grabbed her arm.
The doctor who had earlier called Stanley hurried over, trying to smooth things over.
“Ms. Yale, this girl was just trying to scam people. That’s what led to all this.”
“Good thing the Joyner family cut ties with her, or they’d be dragged down too.”
Everything he said was clearly an attempt to distance the Joyner family from the situation.
Wendy frowned and turned to him.
“What exactly do you mean by that, Dr. Finn?”
Her cold gaze startled him. He immediately waved his hands.
“I swear, I’m not trying to defend this mistaken heiress. I actually think people like her deserve the harshest punishment!”
Scarlett glanced at the time, growing more and more impatient.
She was ready to leave.
But Wendy was still holding her wrist.
Her frustration, however, looked like panic to Dr. Finn.
He doubled down.
“Ms. Yale, you don’t need to worry about the Joyner family’s opinion. They’ve completely cut ties with her. She means nothing to them now.”
Wendy narrowed her eyes, then gave a cold, sharp smile.
“Then the Joyner family really doesn’t know what they lost.”
“Yeah, they–wait, what?” Dr. Finn froze, wondering if he’d misheard her.
But the next moment, Wendy turned toward Scarlett and gratefully took her hands.
“Thank you for saving Dora. You really are a miracle worker.”
“Ms. Scarlett, forget what everyone else says. To me, you’re the best.”
“If you ever need anything, just ask.”
Dr. Finn blinked, unsure if he’d heard right.

Chapter 30 The Turning Point
“You mean to say… this mistaken heiress is the one who saved your daughter?”
Wendy stepped in front of Scarlett, shielding her as her cold gaze swept over him.
“Dr. Finn, just because you couldn’t do it, no one else is allowed to?”
His heart skipped a beat.
Only then did he realize the weight of the situation. He quickly bowed his head.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Yale. I was just… surprised.”
Wendy gave a short laugh of disbelief.
Finished
“Surprised? Well, fair enough. You’re old and useless, while this young woman works miracles. I guess it’s natural for you to be shocked and jealous. But I didn’t expect your medical skills to be lacking and your ethics to be questionable. From now on, the Yale family won’t be bothering you anymore.”
Dr. Finn turned pale on the spot.
Wendy’s words carried the full weight of Wayne’s authority.
And Wayne was the president of a medical university with deep connections–without him, none of these pediatric specialists would’ve been assembled so quickly.
If the Yale family blacklisted Dr. Finn, his career would be finished.
He stood there, sweating, trembling, trying to apologize, but Wendy ignored him completely.
She just issued a cold command.
“Send Dr. Finn home. Let him rest. Clearly, he’s been sleepwalking and talking nonsense.”
Before Dr. Finn could react, two bodyguards stepped in and dragged him away.
The other doctors stood frozen in shock.
Now they truly believed it–Scarlett could bring the dead back to life.
“Ms. Scarlett, would you mind sharing your treatment plan?”
“Maybe just walk us through your approach?”
“What kind of medicine did you use?”
“Would it be alright to exchange contact information?”
Scarlett leaned toward Wendy and whispered, “I’m in a hurry.”
Wendy got the hint immediately. She waved the guards forward, clearing a path and escorting Scarlett out of the hospital.
Sean stomped his foot. “Hey! What the hell? They left without us!”
He hadn’t slept all night, waiting here for news.
“She definitely saw us earlier when she came in.”
“Jasper, why aren’t you saying anything? Seriously, how could you just leave too?”
“Wait up!”
“Jasper, I’m starting to think Scarlett resents us for not helping. She’s mad, isn’t she?”
Jasper had already gotten into the car. As the window lowered, he finally spoke.
“It’s almost seven. We’re running out of time.”
What was that even supposed to mean? Couldn’t he just be clear for once?
But Jasper didn’t look like he had any interest in explaining things to an idiot.
So Sean swallowed all his questions.
Whatever. As long as Scarlett was okay. He’d just talk to her later and explain that none of this was really his fault–he’d been dragged into it.
Dr. Finn had barely stepped outside when his phone rang–it was Stanley.
From the sleepy sound of his voice, he must’ve just woken up.
“Dr. Finn, did the Yale family finish dealing with her?”
Based on what Dr. Finn had said yesterday, there was no way the kid would survive, and Scarlett would end up taking the fall as the scapegoat.
“So is Scarlett half–dead right now, or already locked up?”
“Oh, and Ms. Yale’s daughter–do you know when and where the funeral is? The Joyner family needs to be there to show respect.”
