Chapter 35 Who Is As Rich As Him?

They hadn’t reunited for years and were excited.

Kadence was a social butterfly. Talkative, she could have a nice chat. with anyone else. However,people were surprised to see Peyton.

Some people surrounded her and asked, “Peyton, did you get married? Come on. How could you notinvite us? Do you think we may embarrass you?”

Before Peyton could answer, another piercing female voice sounded. “I don’t think so. She is the onewho may embarrass us! Maybe she hid somewhere because her family went bankrupt.”

It was Grace Logan, who used to be on bad terms with Peyton. At that time, the Logan family was notas rich as the Schmitt family. And Peyton always outshone Grace.

Grace was born into a rich family. She was pretty. But when compared with Peyton, she would beovershadowed. So she believed that it was Peyton’s fault.

Now, the Schmitt family had gone bankrupt. Peyton finally showed up after disappearing for a longtime. Of course, Grace would not miss the chance to laugh at Peyton.

Bruce Morris, their monitor, hurried to say, “Grace, don’t say that. Things change. You shouldn’t laughat her pain. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Forget about that.”

Grace rolled her eyes. Since she respected Bruce, she stopped. “OK. I won’t talk about that again. ButI do think she is thick–skinned. She’s been hiding for all these years. But she came back for theproject!”

“Project? Isn’t this a reunion?” Peyton was confused.

“You’re just pretending, right? We all came here for the project of ForeverLena Hospital.”

Suddenly, Peyton felt that she had been wasting her life and knew nothing over the past year.

Bruce explained kindly, “ForeverLena Hospital has been the biggest project in the past two years. Itcost 600 million dollars.”

Grace snorted, “Their goal is to build a top–class international hospital. They have the best doctors andequipment. Doctors here are well–paid compared with other hospitals too. It’s a good chance, andBruce is a nice person. He is generous enough to share it with us.”

Other people discussed it excitedly too. As long as they can work here, their salaries will be three timeshigher. But the threshold was high. It would be easier if they had someone’s help.

Peyton understood at once. Bruce was from a famous family that was good at traditional medicine. Hisfamily might be a shareholder of the hospital. And Bruce probably wanted to replace some good doctors.

Students in their class used to be top students. There were many good doctors. Although it was areunion, there were personal interests involved.

Kadence must have been distracted by her broken relationship and didn’t know the purpose of thereunion. She just took Peyton here to have fun.

Kadence was happily talking about real estate with others already. However, unlike Kadence, Peytononly felt embarrassed in this case. But Bruce was nice as before. He didn’t look down on her because

her family went bankrupt. Instead, he greeted her mildly.

“If you want, ForeverLena Hospital welcomes talented doctors like you.”

Peyton smiled bitterly, “Stop joking. I didn’t even finish my studies…”

Bruce was confused. “No. Although you suspended your studies, you did get your degree.”

Peyton was surprised. “Bruce, it must be a mistake, right?”

“Of course not. I delivered everyone’s diploma. But it was your family who took yours. Didn’t you getit?”

Peyton took a tumble at once. She thought that Nolan must have got her diploma in some way.

At that time, she was still pregnant. And their relationship got worse. Peyton believed that Nolan didn’ttell her because he didn’t care much about it.

Peyton smiled, “Yes, I did.”

“I haven’t heard from you in the past two years. Have you been studying abroad? We’re friends. Feelfree to contact me if you need. help. It’ll be an honor to have you as our doctor.”

In people’s eyes, Peyton was still a promising young doctor. Recalling the past years, Peyton realizedwhat a big mistake she had made.

“Sorry. I’m not sure. And I think I should go now. I…”

Grace was complacent. “Yeah. I heard that you got married. Have you been a housewife these years?If so, you shouldn’t be here. Otherwise, you may displease our guest.”

Bruce glanced at her. Since the Logan’s family needed to rely on him, Grace didn’t dare to offend him.As for Bruce, he was well–educated

and decent, so he was nice to everyone.

“It’s OK. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. There is still a long way to go. Apart from thepeople in our class, I also invited some great doctors. You don’t need to be nervous. You can just makemore friends here.”

In this case, Peyton had to stay. Luckily, other people were not hostile. to her. Some chatted with her.

As Peyton looked at them, she recalled her free college life. She used. to be as confident and brilliantas they did in medicine.

She lowered her head to look at her palm, wondering, “Since when have I become so obedient andlow–spirited?

“Did I get anything except for pain from marriage?”

Listening to them, Peyton suddenly got the key message that the founder of the hospital would cometonight.

“I heard that it was funded by the Dalton Group. Mr. Dalton did this to please his fiancée.”

“He has been famous as a cold man. I didn’t expect him to love her so much. He even named thehospital for her.”

Peyton’s face changed as she heard that. But she still had hope. “Mr. Dalton? Which Mr. Dalton?”

“Peyton, are you OK? A man who has hundreds of millions of dollars. in Aelford City! Nolan, of course!Who is as rich as him?”

No one found that Peyton pulled her clothes hard with a pale face.

She told him that she wanted to build a large hospital to help more people.

But she didn’t know when he got started. She only knew that it was named ForeverLena Hospital.

How ironic!

Peyton got up in a hurry. She pulled the tablecloth by accident and knocked over the wine bottle. Shehad red wine all over her body.

Peyton was too hurried to deal with that. “Bruce, I got something to do

now…”

Bruce wiped her clothes with tissues subconsciously. Just then, the door was opened. Nolan andHelena stood there.

His cold eyes fell on Bruce’s hand.
