Chapter 157
Gillian held the phone and was speechless for a long time. Mr. Book had already hung up, but she was
still in a daze.
Not until Lindsay poked her, she slowly returned to her senses.
When she came back to her senses, anger overtook her.
Olivia, Olivia again!
Her grandfather clearly cured Ryan’s leg disease. It was just that her grandfather was biased and
asked Olivia to go in and help. The Book family remembered her. Even Mr. Book remembered her
kindness. Gillian did not dare to blame Mr. Book. She could only vent his anger on Olivia.
Back then, Ryan came to seek medical treatment. Olivia was only 17 years old and did not know
anything. However, her grandfather insisted that she go in to help. At that time, Jarron had already
interned with the mentor, but her grandfather did not take him.
How blatantly biased her grandfather had been.
It was clearly useless, and she was not the one who cured her illness, but the Book family remembered
her.
That was not the only case. It was unknown how many big shots of aristocratic families remembered
Olivia.
Gillian had to think of a way to strip Olivia of her influence.
At the thought of this, she turned around and looked at Lindsay with a burning gaze.
Lindsay was stunned by her gaze and asked subconsciously, “Why are you looking at me?”
“How’s the research on the prescription I gave you?”
Lindsay frowned. “That prescription isn’t right. There are many rare medicines and a medicinal herb
that I’ve never even heard of.”
After Healix Pharmaceuticals received the prescription, Healix immediately gathered a scientific
research team to study the prescription. According to the medicinal properties of the herbs on it, this
prescription was taken when a person went into shock or fainted. It could save their lives and extend
the rescue time.
Like Isaac’s myocardial infarction, he only had four minutes to

resuscitate. If the rescue was late, he might die.

However, if he took this prescription, he could extend four to eight minutes. Don’t underestimate this
short few minutes. It could save his life at a critical moment.
Such a powerful medicine, carrying one when the illness acted up, would add another layer of
protection to one’s life.
However, this prescription had a fatal flaw. The medicinal properties were too strong, and it was also
very poisonous. If a person with a weak body took it, not only would it not prolong the time, but they
would also lose their vitality and die suddenly.
The life–saving medicine would become a poison that would take lives. “Mr. Sherate from the research
lab said that the yellow ephedra in the prescription should be a medicinal ingredient that suppresses
poison.” Lindsay frowned as she recalled. She had been to the research lab several times and heard
them report to her grandfather. “However, I don’t know what this yellow ephedra is. Many ancient
prescriptions don’t have this medicinal ingredient. We can’t find it at all.”
Gillian held the phone. “What if I don’t add this yellow ephedra?”
“Don’t add?” Lindsay rolled her eyes. “It’s poisonous if you don’t add it. It might save people or poison
them.”
“Tell your grandfather to make the pills before the banquet, and…” Gillian squinted her eyes with a hint
of madness. “Think of a way to get a drug identification report and clinical application approval.”
Lindsay was not a fool. Although she was a little naive, she knew the importance of the matter.
Gillian wanted her family to make a fake report.
It would be fine if nothing happened. If something happened, not only would Healix Pharmaceuticals be
finished, but even her grandfather would have to go to jail!,
This was the responsibility of taking a human life!
“That’s not right!” Lindsay hesitated. Their family supported Gillian because they wanted to go higher
and higher, not to take risks.
“Not right?” Gillian suddenly laughed. She looked at Lindsay seriously. “If the tree doesn’t grow, how
can it bear fruit? Your family only wants to pick fruits, but you don’t want to risk climbing the tree. How
can there be such a beneficial option?”

With that, Gillian suddenly stood up with a cold expression. “I want to see your grandfather. I have to
produce this medicine!”
At the same time, Olivia had just finished lunch in the hotel and was coaxing Andrew to sleep. When he
fell asleep, she went to the living
room.
Blake had been sitting on the sofa and waiting anxiously. When she saw Olivia come out, she
immediately approached her worriedly. “Olivia, are you really not going to attend the Smith family’s
banquet?”
She licked her dry lips. “If you’re worried that Gillian won’t invite you, I can get Yanis to work with the
Smith family to pressure her.”
Olivia sat on the sofa and looked up at Blake, slightly puzzled. “It’s just a banquet. Why must we go?”
“That’s not a simple banquet!” Blake sat in front of Olivia. “Those are the connections that the Smith
family and the others have accumulated. Many big shots will go over.”
Blake took out her phone as he spoke and found a photo of the name list. She handed it to Olivia.
“Look, this is the invitation list for the banquet. It includes almost all the aristocratic families. Even the
higher–ups have been invited.”
Olivia took the phone and swiped a few times on the screen with her fingertips. Soon, she finished
browsing the name list. Then, she handed the phone to Blake and rubbed her temples with her free
hand.
These days, she had been staying by her grandfather’s side day and night. She had not slept well for a
few days and looked tired.
“Ignore it.” Olivia’s tone was neither fast nor slow. Her beautiful eyes were filled with indifference as if
she did not care about the banquet at all. “It’s just a list. Not many people will go.”
What did she mean? Blake couldn’t react for a moment and looked up. Seeing this, Olivia sighed softly
and had to explain the matter clearly. “Ms. Blake, the Smith family relied on their medical skills. To be
precise, we relied on Grandpa’s medical skills alone. Now that Grandpa has fallen, Jarron and Gillian’s

should they even care about the Smith family’s reputation?”
Blake was stunned.
Olivia drooped her eyelids. Her expression was calm and indifferent, like

a statue without any warmth. She looked down on all living beings with pity like a god.
Looking at Olivia, Blake felt at a loss. Her mind was blank, and she had no idea what to do.
Olivia looked up at Blake and said unhurriedly, “The Smith family has been blinded by the glory of
these years. Without precious pills, without the Smith family’s miraculous treatments, Grandpa is just a
doctor with superb medical skills. He might have saved some big shots and obtained some protection,
but that’s all!
“Ms. Blake, you think too highly of the Smith family!”
The last sentence was like bone–chilling cold water that splashed on Blake’s face, waking her up
completely.
Just as Olivia had expected, not many people came to the banquet.
Gillian thought that as long as she took over the Smith family, she would be able to enjoy boundless
glory. Those big shots would give her face and come knocking on her door one after another. However,
things were not as simple as she had imagined.
Just an invitation to a banquet had many people rejecting it.
Those big shots at the top of the pyramid only recognized Olivia. They knew that Olivia was not around
and did not participate at all.
There were also some business elites who valued Isaac’s medical skills. Now that Isaac was
unconscious and the Smith family did not have anyone with superb medical skills, they were completely
unwilling to visit.
As a pediatrician, she could not invite those elite big shots at all.
They did not care about her!
