Chapter 167
Paul slammed his cane onto Wade’s shoulder in a fit of rage. “Look at what you’ve done! it’s all over the internet now. Do you have any idea how people are laughing at me?”
“Dad!”
Yvonne quickly intervened, stopping the cane from striking again, pleading on behalf of Wade, “Stop hitting him! It’s not Wade’s fault. It’s all Flora’s doing. Wade was just trying to stand up for me, and instead, he got framed by Henrik. The Irvings are nothing but trouble. “I’ve told you not to mess with the Irvings, haven’t I? But did you listen?”
“You’re just too scared. You won’t avenge me, and you won’t let Wade avenge me either.” Yvonne, too, was furious, her eyes reddening as she shouted back.
“Alright, alright, let’s all calm down and stop being angry,” Melinda tried to mediate.
“What’s going on?”
Just then, a female voice was heard from outside. A young girl approached, dressed casually in a loose sweatshirt and slightly baggy jeans.
Yet, her dignified aura was unmistakable. Her natural pride was evident in the arch of her brows and the set of her eyes. Bare–faced, her delicate features were unforgettable at a glance.
The Brimers‘ expressions shifted.
“Selene, what brings you here?” Paul recovered, hurrying to greet her.
Tm h
here to take the exams. I’ll be in your care for the next few months.” Selene spoke with a hint of superiority in her tone.
“Why would you come here to take the exams? Yvonne couldn’t help asking.
Selene was the daughter of the main branch of the Brimer family. Raised with every conceivable luxury and skill, from music and art to medicine, her talents were unparalleled.
Despite being only eighteen, her medical skills surpassed many seasoned doctors.
She was even a candidate for Club 257.
Why would someone so celebrated come to Cedarvale? And they hadn’t received any prior notice.
“I’m here for Mr. Jules.”
*Jules, the neurosurgery genius?” Paul furrowed his brows.
Selene nodded. “I’ve always wanted to study under Mr. Jules. Just a few days ago, the elusive Mr. Jules appeared in Cedarvale and performed a craniotomy on Aisha.”
The Brimers were all taken aback, especially Paul. “A craniotomy? What happened to Aisha?!”
They had been too preoccupied to notice anything amiss with Aisha. Paul genuinely cared for Aisha, so his immediate concern was for her wellbeing.
Yvonne was more curious about how Aisha came to know Mr. Jules. “Isn’t Mr. Jules known for being elusive? And he’s not someone just anyone can hire. How did he end up operating on Aisha?”
Selene looked thoughtful. “I’m not sure. I’ll visit the hospital to ask Aisha when I have a chance.”
Actually, the Brimers would realize something was off If only they thought about this.
Mr. Jules being in Cedarvale and Selene coming here to take the exams were unrelated.
Part of Selene’s reason for coming to Cedarvale was indeed Mr. Jules, but mainly… it was for the president of Club 257.
She was just a candidate for Club 257, and she didn’t even know if the president was male or female. All she knew was the president’s code name: F.
Recent rumors had it that F was in Cedarvale. With Jules‘ arrival, Selene was more convinced of her hunch.
To Selene, where she took the tests didn’t matter much, but here, she might have the chance to meet F.
