Chapter 1288

Inside the hospital.

Bard gazed at the email arrived from Janice, a hint of depth coloring his eyes.

Janice's father had successfully undergone a tumor removal while retaining all liver functions. In

gratitude, Janice leaked some exclusive insider information to Bard.

The reason she had been constantly opposing him in the group was due to the influence of another

senior director. A man who was distantly related to Bard, his uncle When Bard inherited the group from

his father, a number of relatives had already held various positions within the group. Many hoped to

see him step down, including his uncle Arlen.

Bard had known about Arlen's discontent with his leadership, but he had underestimated just how far

Arlen was willing to go behind his back.

Janice had detailed several incidents in the email, showing that she was acting under the instructions

of Arlen.

She also provided evidence to back up her claims.

Meanwhile, Janice sat anxiously beside her father's hospital bed.

Since sending Bard the email the previous night, she had received no reply from him even by 9:30 in

the morning.

Knowing Bard, he was likely planning his countermove quietly, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

What she feared was being caught in the crossfire.

As for Arlen, if he found out about Janice's betrayal, he would surely make her life a living hell.

Janice was tired of being manipulated. She was prepared to die, but remembering her father's recent

successful surgery, she didn't want to drag him into this mess.

Just then, Janice’s phone rang, startling her. Upon seeing that it was Bard calling, she answered

apprehensively.

"Mr. Bard?" Her voice trembled slightly.

"I've read your email, thank you for telling me all this," Bard's voice was calm, as though he was

capable of handling any disaster. "I'm well aware of my uncle's character. I'll handle this, and you won't

be implicated. Just act as if nothing has happened and continue following his orders."

"But Mr. Bard." Janice was worried that Arlen's orders would become increasingly unreasonable,

putting Bard in a difficult position.

“[ can handle it."

With the call ended, Janice felt a sense of relief. She had underestimated Bard's magnanimity. Despite

learning of Arlen’s underhanded tactics, he had not only covered for her but also offered his help.

With Bard's reassurance, she knew she would be safe. Looking at her father, her eyes held a sense of

relief and joy.

At this moment, her phone buzzed with a bank notification. $12,500 had been withdrawn from her

account.

Could it be the surgical fee charged by Dr. Bell?

Such a complicated surgery and it cost only that much?

She wondered if Dr. Bell had given her a friendly discount because of her connection with Mr. Bard.

With this thought, she felt a surge of gratitude.

Arabella transferred the money to her team for further research before calling Bard.

"Uncle Bard, I'm heading to the hospital now. You should go home and get some rest."

Bard had stayed up all night by the patient's bedside, it was time for him to rest.

"Bella, you rarely visit Dawnstar. Take some time to explore and enjoy the city. I've arranged for people

to look after things here,” Bard's voice was gentle. “Where would you like to go? I can have someone

take you there."
