"Over the years, Carter made great contributions to Harrington Corporation and makes tens of millions of revenue every year! But what about you? What else can you do besides washing clothes, cooking and watching the children?
"If it weren't for Jeanne's grandfather, would a useless good-for-nothing like you be worthy of joining the Harrington family?
"Let tell you, without the Harrington family, you're worth sh*t! That invalid of your mother would already be dead!"
Old Madam Harrington's words were like needles, stabbing Augustus's dignity to the point of dripping blood.
Augustus's heart was ice cold.
It turned out that in the eyes of the Harrington family, he was always an outsider. He was nothing more than a piece of trash who lived off the Harrington family and was forever indebted to them!
"Grandma, Augustus actually thinks of the Harrington family. For example, if not for his quick wits yesterday…"
Jeanne wanted to speak up on behalf of Augustus but was interrupted by Carter.
"Quick wits? Jeanne, I think you've lost your mind!"
"What do you an?"
"What do I an? Do you really think that he, a loser who couldn't finish university, knows how to cure diseases? He was just lucky yesterday. Have you ever thought about what would've happened if those patients weren't faking illness and were actually sick? What would happen if he really hit the man with that iron rod? I'm afraid the entire Harrington Corp would be ruined by him!"
Jeanne froze in place. She really did not think about that.
Could it be that yesterday really was just Augustus's luck?
Old Madam Harrington snorted coldly. "I told you long ago that he's just a piece of sh*t! I don't know what went in the old man's mind back then to marry Jeanne to this trash!
"Fortunately, I never expected anything from you. The burden of the Harrington family can only be borne by the Harrington family!"
Old Madam Harrington's expression changed as she looked at the crowd and said solemnly, "Actually, I have a very important announcent to make today. It's about Carter!
"Just yesterday, Carter passed all the tests and successfully beca an elite mber of the Halmont dical Association!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the Harrington family burst with joy.
In fact, they had been waiting for this mont for a long ti.
Harrington Corporation was a pharmaceutical company, and the dical Association not only had the right to supervise the entire pharmaceutical industry, they also had a great say in major hospitals and pharmacies!
To so extent, the dical Association could influence the whole market!
That was especially true for elite mbers, who had great power. The revenue that could be brought in was imasurable.
Halmont City was the most important dical center with thousands of pharmaceutical companies.
These companies were all trying their best to get their people to beco elite mbers of the dical Association just to gain a share in the market. Carter's success was absolutely great news for the entire Harrington family!
"As expected of Carter! You're amazing!"
"I told you all that the Harrington family still has to depend on Carter in the future!"
"That's right. He's not like a certain soone who does nothing all day and only knows how to freeload off the Harrington family. He's basically a parasite!"
Jeanne naturally knew that the family was talking about Augustus and only felt humiliated.
Carter enjoyed the flattery from the people and said with a beaming face, "As a mber of the Harrington family, it's my duty to work for the family. In addition, the heads of three companies have already revealed to yesterday their intention for business after hearing that I would beco an elite mber. The deal adds up to at least 20 million!"
"Goodness, that's so much!"
"It seems our dividends this year will definitely go up!"
"Carter is simply the hero of the Harrington family!"
The crowd was extrely excited, and even Old Madam Hill was smiling from ear to ear.
At that mont, Wendy sneered at Augustus.
"You should know the gap between you now! You aren't even worthy of being compared to Carter, so why don't you hurry up and apologize to Josh? Your daughter has to apologize too!"
Wendy took advantage of the situation to file the request.
The most frustrating thing was that Wendy's words imdiately gained the support of others.
"Yeah, hurry up and apologize!"
"Apologize!"
"Apologize!"
Looking at the faces of the people in front of him, Augustus was furious.
At that mont, a servant suddenly rushed over.
"Old Madam, there's a guest outside. He said his na was Howard Zander."
"Howard Zander? He's the best doctor in Halmont City as well as the president of the dical Association!"
Everyone was shocked. This was definitely a bigshot they could not afford to offend!
However, they did not understand why such a bigshot would suddenly co to the Harrington family.
"I see. Carter beca an elite mber yesterday, and Doctor Zander is the president of the dical Association, so he must be here to personally congratulate Carter!"
Everyone was instantly struck by realization and nodded in succession.
Old Madam Harrington's expression brightened as she spoke, and she hurriedly told the servant to bring the person in.
A few seconds later, a white-haired old man hurried into the inner courtyard. It was Doctor Howard Zander.
Carter was very excited. He adjusted his shirt and greeted the man with a smile. "Doctor Zander, it's very kind of you to make the trip in person…"
However, before Carter could finish speaking, Howard walked straight to Augustus without sparing Carter a glance and kneeled down without saying a word.
"Doctor Cross, please help . Please save my grandson's life!"
At that mont, the Harrington family was plunged into a pin-drop silence.
