Susan Stone blinked in confusion at Willow Grant’s words and asked, "Soone who’s really good at dicine? But I’m not sick."
Willow was taken aback and exclaid, "You don’t know yet?"
Although she had heard about the Midnight Coffee House incident from other classmates, it was surprising that even Susan Stone, the matriarch of the Knight Family, didn’t know.
Does Susan have no involvent in the company’s affairs?
If that’s the case, it ans the Knight Group is fully managed by Damian Knight. In this scenario, how could Susan command Damian to marry her off? Susan didn’t have the power to restrict Damian’s real authority!
Willow steadied her nerves and explained to Susan in the simplest terms, watching Susan’s expression shift from surprise to panic.
"How could sothing this serious happen, and that brat didn’t even tell ?!" Susan couldn’t help but scold softly.
Willow tentatively asked, "Mrs. Stone, is the Knight Group completely managed by the Young Master Knight alone? You don’t usually take care of the company?"
Susan cleared her throat and said, "I don’t understand those things, and when his father passed away, he left everything for him to manage. I enjoy the leisure, so why would I ddle in the company’s affairs?"
Willow’s face turned pale, and her suspicions were confird.
In the Knight Group, Susan had no real power whatsoever!
She couldn’t order Damian to do anything, and besides the title of mother, Damian had no reason to listen to her commands.
Damn it!
At this rate, marrying into the Knight Family still needed Damian’s consent.
Willow’s heart sank like iron.
anwhile, Susan, seemingly oblivious to Willow, hurriedly dialed Damian’s number.
Unexpectedly, Susan found the call imdiately hung up.
Susan’s face turned dark, feeling a bit humiliated in front of Willow.
Since Chairman Knight passed away, Damian had always treated her this way, which she had gotten used to.
But with Willow right there, Susan felt a flash of annoyance.
"That brat! How dare he hang up on !" Without another word, Susan dialed again.
This ti, Damian finally decided to answer.
Susan imdiately said, "Damian! Why did you hang up on ?"
Damian’s indifferent voice ca through, "I’m busy, what’s up?"
"Busy with Midnight Coffee House issues, right?" Susan’s tone softened, "It’s like this, Willow reached out to and told about the incident at the Midnight Coffee House. She also ntioned knowing a famous doctor in Rivain. How about I send soone to bring him over to check on the guest who’s still being rescued? A place that sells food and drinks can’t have casualties!"
Unable to contain her impatience, Willow urged Susan, "Mrs. Stone, let talk to Young Master Knight."
"Alright, alright, you go ahead," Susan quickly handed over the phone.
Willow took it and rapidly said, "Young Master Knight, the renowned doctor I know isn’t an ordinary one. My mom says he practices Ancient Chinese dicine and is incredibly skilled. He happens to owe my family a favor, so if you need him, I can..."
"No need."
Before she could finish, Damian curtly refused her assistance.
Willow’s face tensed, her other hand gripping the edge of her dress as she spoke, "Young Master Knight, I know you don’t like , but this matter is too serious. Our school is already abuzz about it. If that guest is truly in danger of losing their life, Midnight Coffee House will face an official investigation! Don’t let your bias against stop you from accepting my help, okay?"
