Cherished By Seven Sisters

Chapter 60 Betrayal

“How could someone do such a despicable thing?”

Patrick darted his eyes around and replied, “Regardless of who that person is, I think he still ought to respect you. Hence, why don’t we wait until the new clinic opens? You can go over to say a word or two to bring that person down a peg. That way, you’ll be doing Mr. Lund a favor.”

Duncan smacked his own thigh and exclaimed, “Good idea! You’re a bright fellow, aren’t you? Let’s do that. Come over to pick me up when that idi’t opens his new clinic.”

“Sure.”

Patrick was on cloud nine when he was leaving Duncan’s house. Oh, Lincoln! You’re no match for me!

“Dad, what did Mr. Rodriguez say?” Randal asked.

“Sit back and enjoy the show!”

Two days later, it was the grand opening of Lincoln’s Four Pillars Hall.

Over the past two days, Lincoln had been contacting all his associates and doing promotional events for the grand opening.

Hence, the place was packed that day.

On the other hand, Caylie was utterly devastated. If Emrys hadn’t consoled her, she would’ve kept Apricot Hall closed for the day.

Suddenly, she saw someone familiar walking past. “Henny? What are you doing here?”

Caylie widened her eyes in shock because she saw Henrietta exiting Four Pillars Hall from across the street.

“Didn’t you say you were going for the post–graduate entrance exam, Henny?” There was a sense of foreboding lingering within Caylie.

In response, Henrietta answered sheepishly, “I’m sorry, Caylie. D–Dr. Faraday offered to triple my salary.”

Henrietta was young, and her medical skills were barely sufficient to treat patients independently.

Whenever she ran into slightly more complicated diseases, she still needed to ask Caylie for help.

Therefore, it was obvious that Lincoln was simply paying Henrietta triple to upset Caylie.

Lincoln was blatantly challenging Caylie by poaching Henrietta, who Caylie had been tutoring over the past year.

That was how ruthless Lincoln was.

Needless to say, Caylie was heartbroken. If Henrietta had really resigned to sit for her post–graduate entrance exam, I would have had no problem with that. In fact, I would even hope for the best for her. However, she’s now working for Lincoln at Four Pillars Hall just because Lincoln is paying her three

times more. Does she really value the triple salary more than the time and effort I invested in her over the year?

At the same time, Caylie was also extremely disappointed with how things had turned out. Back then, this girl was having trouble getting employed after she graduated. She promised me she would learn and change her attitude. I’ve been taken for a ride, haven’t I? She stabbed me in the back after getting mentored by me for a year.

Emrys was heartbroken and enraged when he saw how dejected Caylic looked.

“You’re Henrietta, right? I’ll keep an eye on you,” Emrys uttered coldly.

“Ha! How could you threaten a young woman? Where are your manners?” Suddenly, Lincoln stepped forward and shielded Henrietta. In a righteous tone, he uttered, “You’ve done nothing wrong, Ms. Black. Apricot Hall is filled with ruthless and vicious people. You shouldn’t stay in a place like that!”

“What are you on about, Lincoln? Have I ever wronged you guys when you were working at Apricot Hall?” Caylie was infuriated. Lincoln is such a shameless man! How could he tell such lies?

In response, Lincoln sneered, “Well, you should know the answer to that question.”

Lincoln deliberately raised his voice when he said that. Everyone at the scene heard it and cast resentful glances at Caylie.

The crowd chose to believe Lincoln’s words because they thought Lincoln was Duncan’s mentee, so Lincoln had no reason to lie.

“Lincoln, tell me how I mistreated you guys!” Caylie roared.
