Chapter 251
Gillian told a story.
In the story, there was an old gentleman with the surname Smith. He was a brilliant doctor.
He had two granddaughters. The elder granddaughter was gentle and quiet. She had a reserved and considerate personality and loved medicine a lot.
The younger granddaughter was lively and mischievous. She liked to join in the fun. She had learned to play the violin, paint, and play chess but could not settle down to study medicine.
However, the old gentleman was exceptionally partial towards his younger granddaughter.
Whenever a big shot came to the family to seek medical treatment, the old gentleman always brought his younger granddaughter over but never his elder granddaughter.
Over time, those big shots had an impression of his younger granddaughter and treated her very well.
Later, his elder granddaughter inherited the family business and invited these big shots to participate in the ceremony.
Unexpectedly, when these big shots heard that his younger granddaughter was not around, they didn’t want to come as invited.
They had already become his younger granddaughter’s connections.
Gillian was very emotional, but Olivia was not listening attentively.
She was fiddling with her phone.
Gillian was unhappy. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Olivia looked up. “What should I say?”
Gillian took a deep breath. “Don’t you think the old man is partial?”
Olivia tapped her fingertips on the table and sighed lightly. “Gillian, have you ever thought of one thing?”
“What?” Gillian tilted her head.
Olivia continued. “You said those big shots were there to seek medical treatment. Then why did the old gentleman take his younger granddaughter with him? Did he bring her over to make a mess? Or can a doctor bring a child into the operating room?”
Gillian was stunned by the question.
“You also said that the old gentleman is a miracle doctor. He won’t do meaningless things. Then why did he take his younger granddaughter with him?” Olivia held up one finger. “There’s only one reason that makes sense. His granddaughter appeared as his assistant.”
“No way!” Gillian exclaimed. “His younger granddaughter is very young. She’s only in her teens. How can she be his assistant?”
Olivia’s tone was calm as she asked, “Then why did the miracle doctor bring a teenage girl with him when he was curing his patients? Gillian, you’re a grown–up. You should know that one would never try to make connections when others are sick unless he’s lost his mind.
“For example, when you’re as sick as a dog and in unbearable pain, someone brings a child over and tells you how cute and smart the child is. At such a moment, will you like this child?”
Gillian’s entire body trembled violently as if she had suffered a big blow. She kept shaking her head and muttering, “No, it wasn’t true! No, no.”
“There’s another doubtful point.” Olivia continued, “You said those people are all big shots and elites in the industry. These people are smart cookies and won’t act recklessly merely based on their personal preferences. There must be a reason why they rejected the elder granddaughter and liked the younger
one.”
At this point, Olivia paused and voiced her thoughts. “I don’t think the elder granddaughter should

her thoughts and attention on the younger granddaughter because she’ll probably have psychological issues this way.
“She should pay attention to herself and strive to improve her strength. Why bother with those big shots? If her medical skills were good enough to make herself a miracle doctor, she would also become a big
shot.
Why must she play up to others? Isn’t it good to let others come to her?”
Olivia couldn’t quite understand the sort of people like the elder granddaughter. Her grandfather was a miracle doctor, and she had a great resource already.
If she were the elder granddaughter, she would go all out to study medicine and become a miracle. doctor.
In that case, those big shots would take the initiative to associate with her.
How great it would be!
Instead of rushing to befriend others and wishing to be liked, why not work hard to improve herself and let others come and please her?
Olivia said honestly in the end. “I don’t like to associate with big shots. I like to become a big shot myself.” Gillian was already speechless. She was in a daze and lost her soul.
She left as if she was escaping without saying a word.
When the Taylor family returned at night, their faces were red, and they were joyfully excited.
Although it wasn’t true that they would meet a high–ranking official on this trip, Gillian had also given them practical benefits.
The Painting Association organized one small painting competition.
The participants were all recommended by the association’s internal members. Gillian got an entry quota
for Doris.
Although it was not a large–scale competition, it had extraordinary significance.
Through this competition, she could get to know many teachers from the Painting Association.
If her work could catch the eye of any teacher and be taken in as a disciple by the teacher, Doris would have great success in her career.
She would have a sudden rise in life.
After returning home. Doris was in a state of excitement. She had even stomped upstairs to paint without eating dinner.
On the other side, Gillian returned to her residence. As soon as she entered the door, she saw another person in the room.
Ernesto was back.
Emesto smiled at Gillian. “I didn’t expect you to have such a wide network. You even know the people from the Painting Association”
Gillian was slightly stunned. Then, the corners of her mouth curled up into a cover–up smile.
She did know a teacher from the Painting Association. That teacher was also the president of the Painting
Association
But that teacher was Olivia’s teacher.
To the teacher, she was nothing but Olivia’s sister.
Gillian thought of something and smiled sadly. “No, I don’t know any teacher, but Olivia does.”
Ernesto raised his eyebrows.
Gillian was down in spirit. “Back then, I learned to paint together with Olivia. Grandpa hired Mrs. Rose Liebsig, the president of the Painting Association, to teach us. Unfortunately, Mrs. Liebsig just wanted one disciple.

“Grandpa played favorites, so he only recommended Olivia to her.”
When she said this, Gillian’s shoulders could not help but tremble.
She still remembered how disappointed she was at that time. It still stung her whenever she recalled the sadness, helplessness, pain, and despair back then.
“Oh, he’s so partial to Olivia?” Ernesto raised his eyebrows. Your grandfather has indeed gone too far in this matter. You are both his granddaughters. How could he treat you two differently?”
Saul interrupted, “Yeah, that’s unfair. That Mrs. Liebsig is also to blame. Why must she want one disciple only? So what harm could it bring if she took both of you girls?”
He was angry and spoke up for Gillian.
“No, that wasn’t cool. I have to look into Mrs. Liebsig now.” Saul took out his phone and searched Rose Liebsig on Wikipedia.
After staying in the Hushe Republic for almost a month, Saul had already had a grip on Wikipedia
search.
If he encountered any doubts, he would start searching immediately.
He clumsily entered Rose’s full name, and soon, her information popped up on Wikipedia.
Saul’s Husheni was not bad.
The Wilcox family’s lineal branch spoke Husheni.
After briefly reading Rose’s introduction, Saul suddenly cried out in surprise as if he had discovered a new land.
“Oh my god, this Mrs. Liebsig has gone too far. She said she would only want one disciple, but five after she took in Olivia, she has taken in two more disciples.
“She’s crossed the line. She’s a liar!” Saul snorted angrily.
Ernesto’s hand holding the pen paused, and he subconsciously looked toward Gillian.
Gillian’s face flushed red as if it was on fire.
At this moment, she did not know if she was more surprised or embarrassed.
years
What did she mean by only wanting one disciple? It was just Rose’s excuse that she looked down on her.
Why would she take in another two disciples five years later if she wanted one disciple?
Saul was still crowing at the side, angrily accusing Rose of not keeping her word. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
However, with every word he said, Gillian looked more ashamed on her face.
In the end, Stefan could not stand it anymore and nudged Saul. “Enough! Stop it.” If he nagged again, Gillian would be furious in shame!
