Chapter 403: Chapter 403: Between a Rock and a Hard Place
"This little girl doesn’t dare to accept the challenge, she probably doesn’t have any real skills."
"Shaw is really something, how could he be deceived by someone like her!"
The butler and Zachary also took July Quinn’s avoidance as a sign that she lacked real talents and was feeling guilty.
Only Owen Shaw was still trying hard to defend July Quinn: "July’s medical skills are excellent, even though she’s only treated twenty or thirty patients, she’s received over twenty commendation banners so far."
"Young man, you’re still too naive. Haven’t you considered that those people might also be helpers she arranged?"
"You guys are being ridiculous, are you saying my grandpa and mom are also helpers hired by July?"
"Maybe she used some advanced trick to fool your family, leaving you all in the dark?"
Owen Shaw felt that if he continued communicating with these three old men, he’d end up cursing, so he simply turned to July Quinn.
"July, why don’t you just have a match with him?"
In Owen Shaw’s view, having a match with them and making them admit defeat willingly was better than any argument.
As soon as Owen Shaw spoke, Simon Hale also looked at July Quinn with hope.
However, July Quinn’s answer remained: "No match."
A grandmaster and an unknown junior competing, how degrading would that sound if it got out?
Seeing the indifferent expression on July Quinn, Simon Hale felt he’d have to step in personally.
"Didn’t you always mock me as a half-baked talent? Why don’t you use your medical skills to prove that I am indeed half-baked?"
To make July Quinn agree to the challenge, he resorted to a mix of coercion and temptation.
But seeing how July Quinn was continually avoiding it, he was sure she had no real skills whatsoever.
If she had any real skills, how could she let others doubt her?
Simon Hale thought this might end in vain once again, requiring even harsher coercion and temptation.
Unexpectedly, the previously evasive July Quinn suddenly did a 180-degree turn.
"Proving you’re half-baked isn’t impossible. How about if I win, you call me ’Master’ every time you see me?"
July Quinn’s words made Simon Hale feel something was amiss.
Given July Quinn’s young age, the thought of calling her ’Master’ would make others laugh out loud.
Simon Hale felt it was somewhat inappropriate.
But July Quinn continued: "What, afraid calling me ’Master’ would be embarrassing? If that’s the case, then stop clamoring for a match in front of me!"
Simon Hale couldn’t withstand such provocation and immediately agreed: "Fine, ’Master’ it is. But let me make it clear, if anything happens to the patient, you’ll be legally responsible."
Simon Hale, in one breath, laid out a certain malicious plan.
"This doesn’t seem very fair. If I win, I only get a ’Master’, but if I lose, I face a lawsuit."
"Then what do you want?"
"I’ve heard the Hale Family has a Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill. Why don’t you give me that if you lose?"
July Quinn looked at Simon Hale with amusement.
Simon Hale was stunned.
The "Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill" was something the Hale Family acquired while hurriedly moving out of The Monroe Family’s old mansion years ago.
However, they never found any medicinal value in it from the medical texts, so they dared not use it.
But anything collected by The Monroe Family must be a good medicine.
So they’ve been treasuring the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill but have never used it.
But unexpectedly, July Quinn had her sights set on this pill?
For a moment, Simon Hale was caught in a dilemma.
