"I think so too," Sherry nodded, "The things in the studio have already been moved to the apartnt next door, waiting to be moved back once Vaughn Clinic is fully renovated."
Listening, Ann Vaughn rembered the result of the discussion with Mark Joyce the last ti.
At least half a month is needed for the Vaughn Clinic to be completely renovated, which is already the fastest pace.
"What about the clients with appointnts, have they been notified?"
"I was just about to tell you, so clients who heard about you being taken away by the Bureau have already co and canceled their bookings. As of now, only twenty-one people have not canceled."
Due to the Bureau’s involvent, many people believe Ann Vaughn caused a death with reckless prescriptions and will be convicted.
But these were mostly first-ti clients; others still had great trust in Ann Vaughn’s dical skills and even explained on her behalf voluntarily.
This was sothing Ann Vaughn did not expect.
With this kind of support, she must live up to their trust and understanding.
After breakfast, Ann Vaughn entered the laboratory to record the vital signs of lab mice administered with the cancer suppressant.
This suppressant is among the top tiers of extracted elixirs, and Ann Vaughn wasn’t sure how many herbs she used to successfully extract five bottles of the experintal drug.
But all the drugs have a 99% efficacy rate and are entirely harmless and painless to human bodies with no side effects left.
However, the lack of human experintal observations still leaves her with so concerns.
Cancer can be one of the most challenging diseases to conquer today; even surgery carries over a 50% risk of recurrence or failure.
Therefore, she must be extrely cautious and provide the strongest and most convincing explanation results to win the patients over.
"Mommy, godmother is here, she says she’s here to take you to blow up the wedding site," a sweet childish voice ca from outside the door.
These words made Ann Vaughn’s lips twitch involuntarily. She removed her white coat and left the lab.
She saw Susie Somrs elegantly and reservedly standing there in a red off-shoulder rmaid evening gown, smiling as if every curve of her lips was calculated with joy, and she spoke towards Ann Vaughn.
"How is it, does this outfit of mine overshadow that little bitch?"
As soon as she spoke, all her grace disappeared into thin air.
Ann Vaughn was simply speechless, walked over, and tugged at her collar with so wrinkles, "What are you doing? People who don’t know better would think it’s your engagent coming up."
"Do you think I look beautiful?"
"Beautiful! You’re even more beautiful than the goddess Aphrodite!"
Susie laughed heartily, hooked Ann Vaughn’s neck with her arm, and rubbed her face, "I love you to death! Hurry up and change into your battle outfit... you know what, it’s fine, even if you wear anything, with your beautiful face, you’d still outshine others in a sackcloth."
Upon hearing this taphor, Ann Vaughn shook her head helplessly and walked into her bedroom.
Next to her, Kenny imdiately asked, "Godmother, you must keep an eye on my mommy, don’t let those n outside get close to her!"
"Little Kenny doesn’t want to go cause trouble with godmother?" Susie picked up the Little Dumpling, kissed his cheek, "It won’t work, if your mommy knew I took you to see that kind of thing, she’d probably kill ..."
Kenny blinked his big eyes twice, smiling without answering.
If he went, who would support mommy and godmother?
To match the "battle sister flowers" montum with Susie Somrs, Ann Vaughn specially chose a rarely worn little black dress.
The off-shoulder, cinched waist design decorated with flowing black feathers just above the knees complented her slender and graceful figure, like a black swan ready to fly.
Seeing Ann Vaughn’s outfit, Susie’s smile never faded, "Darling, I’ve suddenly seen the light."
"What?"
"Why bother preparing any big moves, just putting you there will instantly overshadow Leona Chambers!"
"..."
Oh no, jealousy bred from love.
An hour later, at the Master Moore Family.
It’s said that to host this engagent ceremony, the Master Moore Family transford a building in the estate into a hall where the ceremony will take place shortly.
This move can be said to make the young ladies of The Imperial Capital green with envy, making them extrely jealous of today’s heroine, Leona Chambers.
Susie lived with the Master Moore Family for a while, so the servants and security all knew her and directly led Ann Vaughn inside.
The entire Master Moore Family was busy from top to bottom, making everything ready while the guests hadn’t arrived yet.
"Your family seems very satisfied with Leona Chambers?" Ann Vaughn looked at so decorations in the hall, sensing sothing as she spoke.
Susie responded with an "uh-huh", "To be precise, she is very much liked by my mom, and my stepfather listens to her every word. Winning my mom’s favor ans she’s secured a position in this family."
At this mont, a lady clad in a burgundy evening gown with a snow-white small cape descended from the stairs. Upon seeing Susie, she was initially pleased but soon carried a faint sorrow in her brows and eyes.
"Susie, you’re back." The lady approached, took Susie’s hand, "Today is your brother’s engagent ceremony, you’re here to bless your brother too, aren’t you?"
Ann Vaughn looked at the lady in front of her, thinking this should be Susie’s mother, Mrs. Rhonda Pierce.
She maintained herself well; there wasn’t a wrinkle on her face, displaying a mature charm.
"Hmm," Susie replied indifferently, withdrawing her hand while holding Ann Vaughn, "Annie, let take you to the hall to have a look."
It’s evident that Susie wanted to avoid interacting with Rhonda, which Ann Vaughn didn’t refuse as she nodded.
"Are you still mad at mom?"
As they walked a bit away, the choked voice of Rhonda ca from behind them.
Seeing Susie stop, Ann Vaughn sighed inwardly and then said, "I’ll wait for you outside, you should talk things through."
Sohow, she suddenly understood why Susie’s mom liked Leona Chambers so much.
Perhaps it wasn’t because of Leona Chambers as a person, but because of Susie.
Susie ca back to her senses and looked at Rhonda like a stranger, "Bla you? I’ve blad you since high school, does it help?"
Rhonda heard the accusation in her words, her face palely, "I did it all for your good. You’re my only daughter; how could I not love you?"
"You may love , but you love Silas Master Moore even more, and cherish your position as Mrs. Moore more!" Susie raised her voice, ignoring the strange looks from passing servants, "You have all these things, why bother with ?"
"I’m your mother; don’t you think I understand your thoughts? Your feelings for Ethan have surpassed unsalvageable limits, and you know very well it’s impossible between you two!" Rhonda’s face showed helplessness, "Consider it a plea from your mother, let him go, alright?"
