THE GENIUS WIFE [JENLISA] (2)

CHAPTER 257

Lisa held Jennie and was about to leave when Merlin ran up and blocked their way. This fellow was too arrogant. Her brother had asked him nicely, but he didn't give them any face at all. Did he really think that the Max family was so easily bullied? She had to make it clear and said angrily,

"Why not? Now that our two families are working together, and you've negotiated yourself a good deal, you wouldn't even have a meal with us? Are you looking down on the Max family?"

Lisa was already pissed off and got more so when he heard Merlin's words. Just as he was about to instruct Felix to get someone to chase these two detestable people away, Jennie tugged his arm. The collaboration didn't come easy and they could not afford any mishaps so Jennie said plainly,

"It's not that we wouldn't. We are just in a hurry. How about you give us a treat at this hotel?"

Randall was elated when he heard Jennie's words. It was, after all, an agreement by his goddess. However, to protect his sister's feelings, he threw Merlin a questioning glance. Merlin snorted coldly and didn't say anything. Randall replied with a smile,

"No problem. Let's do it here."

They did not talk much during lunch. Merlin's face was cold the whole time. She was unhappy whenever she looked at Jennie but there was nothing she could do. She had been slapped in the face too many times. When they were almost finished, Randall wiped his mouth, looked at Jennie a little embarrassedly and said,

"Madam Manoban, do you know medicine?"

Jennie raised her head and looked at Randall in confusion. Didn't he not believe that before? What was going on? Was he trying to make things difficult for her again? At the thought of this, Jennie looked at Merlin's cold expression, turned to Randall and then said plainly,

"Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

Lisa was also very annoyed. Jennie could have saved their old man, but Randall did not believe it then and even mocked her. Now, he came looking for trouble again. He was simply courting death but Randall's expression implied that something was wrong, so Lisa added calmly,

"Just ask directly. Don't test."

A hint of anxiety flashed across Randall's face when he heard the two of them. After all, Jennie looked too young. Even if there were geniuses everywhere, it was no joke when it came to someone's health. It could be a matter of life and death, but there was nothing else he could do. He frowned and asked,

"Madam Manoban, what's going on with my father?"

"Did you see something before? When you took out the silver needles then, you wanted to help my father, right?"

When Jennie heard this, she looked at Randall. If she guessed correctly, there was a high chance that something happened with Mr. Max. But, didn't they have that family doctor at home? Why would he suddenly look for her? Despite her feeling a little puzzled, she asked,

"What happened to Mr. Max?"

When Randall heard Jennie's question, a somewhat embarrassed expression appeared on his face. But for their father's sake, he couldn't care too much now. After all, as long as their father was well, the Max family was still the powerful Max family. After a little hesitation, Randall replied with a pained expression,

"Our father fainted again. I don't really believe the family doctor now. I'd like to ask you to go and see what's going on with my father."

Merlin had thought that her big brother had insisted that she came along just for the sake of this girl. She did not expect that it was actually for their father. But, even if this girl's very talented artistically, but medical skills? After all, this matter concerned their father's life. She said angrily to Randall,

"Brother, are you crazy? Our family doctor is internationally renowned. If you don't believe him, why would you believe this young girl?"

When Randall heard Merlin's words, he looked at Jennie in panic. He was afraid that his thoughtless sister would anger Jennie. After all, she was now the only hope that could save his father. He quickly apologized to Jennie after stopping Merlin,

"Madam Manoban, please don't mind her. My sister is not very good with words. It's because our father and I spoil her too much. I'm really sorry."

Jennie looked at Merlin in disgust. This woman was brainless. Randall was not bad. He was a gentleman and thoughtful. Why was there such a big difference between these siblings? But when she saw Merlin's grudging look, she did not know whether she should tell Randall...
