When I arrived at the ward, I heard an argument coming from inside.
At this moment, Isaac, Kailyn, and Abigail were pushing open the door and walking out.
Kailyn stared at me coldly, his eyes filled with disdain.
Isaac stopped in front of me and asked if I was going to Herrera Group to take over Alex's position.
I knew that in his eyes, it was impossible for me to take over the position of Herrera Group's CEO.
To put it bluntly, I was just keeping an eye on the company for Alex.
"Are you familiar with Herrera Group's current business? Can you handle the next project?" After he asked the question, he looked straight at me. There was no emotion on his face.
Kailyn, who was standing at the side, snorted coldly. "Don't you understand? If she wasn't a member of the Parks family, why would Raphael agree to let herbe the temporary CEO? Perhaps the Herrera family thinks that you two are siblings, so you will definitely be able to take care of her."
"You know very well what you're capable of. I advise you not to join in the fun." Isaac looked at me with a sinister gaze.
With that, he turned around and left, as if he couldn't be bothered to listen to my excuses.
Instead, Kailyn walked in front of me and cleared his throat, looking like she was trying to persuade me.
She said, "Don't be angry with him. After all, when something happens at work, he will have to clean up the mess for you. If you're doing this for his own good, you should tell Alex as soon as possible that you can't do it, so as not to hurt the relationship between them."
Seeing that I was indifferent, Kailyn could not be bothered to continue pretending in front of me. She said directly, "It's fine if you want to embarrass yourself, but don't embarrass the Parks family too."
I smiled. Since she didn't care about me at all, I would not be so polite with her. I couldn't be bothered to continue acting.
I asked, "Do you think I'm you?"
Kailyn's eyes darkened. A moment later, he sneered and revealed a smug expression on his exquisite face. "That's right. You are not as lucky as me. You have to rely on yourself for everything. It's good to be on your own."
"Then I'll wait and see how long you can rely on yourself." Kailyn looked at me with disdain.
Regardless of whether I did well or not, it would be a danger to Kailyn and Isaac.
Especially now that I still held 20% of the Parks Group's shares, they were afraid that I would want more.
They were right. I wanted to take back not only what my mother had back then, but the entire Parks Group.
I wanted Maddox and Melody to lose everything completely. I wanted to see if they could still be as loving as they were now once they lost everything.
"Aren't you leaving?" A cold voice entered my ears.
At this moment, Abigail suddenly said, "Kailyn, go back with your brother first. I'll leave with my cousin later."
Kailyn was stunned for a moment. A hint of displeasure appeared on her face. She shook off Abigail's arm and could not be bothered to talk to her anymore. She quickly caught up to Isaac who was leaving.
After Kailyn disappeared, Abigail looked up at me and smiled disdainfully. "It seems that you don't have a good relationship with your brother and sister."
I smiled faintly. I didn't take Abigail's sarcastic words to heart because I knew that she was deliberately saying them to Samantha, who was in the ward.
From Abigail's attitude towards Kailyn just now, it could be seen that it did not seem to be too smooth for her to use Kailyn to go through with her plan.
It seemed like their relationship was good, but they were actually just fake friends.
Actually, it was within my expectations. No matter how dissatisfied Kailyn was with the person Melody liked, she could only listen to her mother's arrangements. Otherwise, she wouldn't have married Austin.
However, I was very curious. There must be another reason why Melody took a fancy to Thelma.
Maddox had taken a fancy to Thelma because of her ability. However, I wondered whether or not they were afraid that she would become a problem one day.
After all, Thelma's ambition could not be underestimated.
Although Jayden and Thelma were siblings, they seemed to have a good relationship.
However, Jayden did not seem to be too satisfied with Thelma, who was suppressing him in every aspect.
Thelma was afraid that Jayden would reveal her true colors to the people around her.
Of course, it was also possible that Jayden was putting on an act in front of me to deliberately distort their relationship. As for his purpose, perhaps it was purely for fun.
No one could understand the thoughts of a lunatic.
Sophina brought Zachary to the washroom. Abigail crossed her arms and walked to my side. She lowered her voice and said, "Kailyn asked me to find an opportunity. She was unwilling to help me."
It was just as I had guessed.
I answered, "The Parks family will hold a party when they move. Won't you have a chance then?"
Abigail was slightly stunned, and a hint of suspicion flashed across her eyes. I gave her a meaningful look.
"You want me to use drugs?" A hint of shock and astonishment appeared on Abigail's face.
I coughed lightly. "If you don't dare, then there's nothing we can do."
Abigail had the guts to drug me before because I didn't have any background. Even if I discovered her, she wasn't afraid at all.
After all, she was the daughter of the Cole family, while I was just an ordinary person.
However, if she wanted her to drug Isaac, she naturally had to consider it carefully. She could not afford to offend the Parks family.
"What if he doesn't want to marry me?" Abigail frowned and asked with a melancholic expression.
I said, "I only asked you to drug him. I didn't ask you to sleep with him."
"What do you mean?" Abigail was confused.
I curved my lips and chuckled. "Prepare the drug. You'll know when the time comes."
Abigail looked at me warily. "Are you really willing to help me?"
The door opened and Leah walked out with a dark face, closely followed by Samantha.
Abigail immediately walked to Samantha's side. "Can I take your car back with you?"
Samantha looked at me in disdain. "Mrs. Herrera is really capable. She actually made you take Alex's spot."
"But it's only temporary." I smiled and pushed open the door to enter the ward.
Austin was standing beside Alex with his head lowered. The moment he saw me walk in, he revealed a guilty expression. However, it instantly returned to normal. He looked at me and gently called me aunt.
I walked to Alex's side expressionlessly and sighed softly. "Do I have to go to the company? But it doesn't look like I'm welcomed!"
At this moment, Isaac, Kailyn, and Abigail were pushing open the door and walking out.
Kailyn stared at me coldly, his eyes filled with disdain.
Isaac stopped in front of me and asked if I was going to Herrera Group to take over Alex's position.
