Chapter 63 Even A Thorny Rose Full Of Poison Could Look Lovely
Due to Euan’s pressure, Dr. Rose had no choice but to compromise.
Riley closed her eyes. She knew that she would get to know, sooner or later.
Dr. Rose shook her head regretfully, “Riley’s right hand has been severely traumatized and it’s tendons
hand veins have been injured. I’m afraid that it cannot recover fully. Moreover, I checked the meridian
of the palm of her right hand, this injury is at least five years old.”
‘Five years?’
Euan looked down at Riley. She had closed her eyes; he didn’t know what she was trying to hide or
avoid. However, as he looked at her, she quickly became the Riley he knew.
Full of thorns.
“Dr. Rose, you are really an expert. You could tell just by seeing. Yes, five years ago I did have an
accident and injured my right hand. After that, I could no longer hold a scalpel and I had to switch from
surgery to internal medicine. But now, my hand is alright; as long as the surgery is not long, I can do it.”
She spoke bluntly, avoiding the cause of the injury and sweeping over the matter.
Dr. Rose didn’t ask her the details; she nodded and said, “Take good care and rest. Mr. George, I will
go back first.”
After she left, Euan looked at Riley and her hand, pondering, “How many secrets are there that I don’t
know about you?”
Riley shrugged indifferently, “If it’s a secret, of course others can’t know about it. Can you say that you
have no secrets?”
Euan grabbed her right hand and looked at it carefully, but there was no trace of any injury on the
surface. What kind of injury did it have to be able to get detected five years later?
“You don’t need to know my secrets, but you can’t hide anything from me!”
He turned into the same old domineering Euan again, but she was immune to him now.
“Okay, fine, Euan. You can trap my people and trap me in this luxurious villa for a lifetime, but you still
can’t trap my heart. I told you, if you want my heart, you can only exchange it for your heart. You want
to know my secret? Then trade your secret for it!”
She smiled lightly and closed her eyes, “I am tired and sleepy.”
Euan frowned as he looked at the delicate little woman lying on the bed. There were indeed many
secrets surrounding her body and she was trying very hard to hide something from him.
What was it? If she wasn’t telling him, then it wasn’t a problem, he was going to investigate it
personally.
The next day, Riley woke up and found that she was lying on the big bed in the villa. She adjusted
herself a little uncomfortably. Recently, she had been shifting between different beds and her brain’s
switching mode had almost failed.
“Young lady, you are awake!”
Being suddenly called like that, Riley came out of the sleepiness in a second. She turned to look at the
door and saw that a middle-aged woman in the George family’s servant uniform was standing there,
smiling respectfully.
Riley knew this servant. She had seen her twice before in the George’s mansion and she was probably
one of the kitchen staff.
“Jodie, How come you are here?”
“Master Euan asked me to come back to take care of you. Sophia and Lilah are also here. If you need
anything done, please tell us.”
Riley frowned at the amount of people. Ordinarily, the villa was cold and empty, similar to an
abandoned house; right now, there were three people extra, and the liveliness was a little
uncomfortable for her.
“I’m okay. I don’t need to be served. Go and see what Euan needs.”
Jodie still stood there, “Master Euan has ordered me to serve you first. Breakfast is ready. Would you
like to eat in your bedroom or come downstairs?”
Euan was seriously there!
“I’ll come downstairs. Can you squeeze out the toothpaste for me?”
It was a bit inconvenient to squeeze out the toothpaste with just one hand, but she was also not
comfortable with someone standing besides her while she was changing clothes. Jodie nodded
hurriedly, “Okay, young lady.”
It was weird. The servant’s attitude towards Riley was so nice, it was a bit bizarre!
After washing up, Riley went downstairs and saw that the table was fully set with a rich breakfast. It
was completely different from the simple and light breakfast that she usually made for herself. The
George family’s servants prepared a proper and sumptuous breakfast like they always did, so that the
two can have a full meal.
Euan was sitting at the table and reading a financial newspaper. When he saw Riley approaching, he
said coldly, “How arrogant! Everyone has been waiting for you.”
Everyone? Where? Wasn’t he the only one on the table?
Riley sat down ignoring his sarcasm, “Next time you should eat by yourself. Don’t wait for me, I can’t
take responsibility for wasting your time.”
Euan frowned, putting the newspaper aside. Her words were still so ferocious.
“See? This is a real breakfast!”
Riley nodded, “I can see it, my eyesight is not that bad. How can I not see so many plates?”
The servant arranged dinner plates and cutlery in front of them and then stepped aside.
Euan began to eat slowly, “You have no self-knowledge. Think about the breakfast that you make every
day; do you not feel even a bit shameful?”
Riley knew what he meant but she didn’t care. She began to eat and sipped the soup, “Of course,
otherwise I would have been a cook not a doctor.”
When she was bickering, she actually looked a bit lovely to Euan.
Lovely? Even a thorny rose full of poison could look lovely.
The two ate while bickering. Riley caught a glimpse of the newspaper beside him and suddenly
changed the subject, “Let me see your newspaper.”
Euan raised his eyes and stared at her, “You specialized in surgery, you can’t understand it.”
Riley gritted her teeth, “I can understand. You just wish I didn’t!”
Euan snorted, “Okay, if you want to read it but don’t regret after reading it.”
Regret what?
Euan handed the newspaper to Riley across the large dining table. Their natural and smooth hand
motions were just like an old married couple. Realizing this, both of them were in a daze suddenly.
Euan looked away from his slender hand and lowered his gaze to cover the embarrassment he had just
showed.
His dark eyes seemed to be focused on the food intently, but in reality, he had been observing Riley to
see her reaction. He didn’t know how she was going to react when she saw the news.
Sure enough, she struggled to read something about the stock market or something but then she
flipped the paper over and her gaze froze!
Watson Group?
Reading carefully line by line, her eyes widened. The Watson Group had another scandal.
That moron, Freya, actually had the finance staff make fake accounts. The Audit Bureau found out and
not only charged them with taxes but also pressed criminal charges. At the time of publication if this
article, Freya and Lauren were already undergoing investigation. The situation was very serious and
they were likely to go to jail.
Damn it! Would they die if they did not cause trouble for a day?
Riley clenched the newspaper in her hands tightly, her small face was covered in a layer of angry frost.
The company made fake accounts. Not only the people involved had to bear full responsibility, but the
company’s reputation was also going to be seriously damaged and that chain reaction was extremely
terrible.
Riley secretly looked at Euan. He was eating and he had no reaction. He had known about this since
long ago and he had known it when he had called.
Putting down the newspaper, Riley didn’t beat about the bush, “What do you think about the Watson
Group’s scandal?”
She waited for his response anxiously. Euan was an expert in management and finance. He basically
had the final word. She clenched her hands into fists and looked at him anxiously.
He drank the soup leisurely, looking indifferent as if he didn’t care about it at all, “Judging from the
amount involved in the Watson Group’s fake accounts, your sister and stepmother are going to get at
least three months of jail time and the company will not be allowed to make any financial exchanges
during the investigation period. That is to say, the group will be out of business.”
That serious?
“Is there any way to… help the company?”
She looked at Euan with her eyes full of fire, wishing she could climb across the table and grab his arm
and shake it vigorously.
Euan placed the small soup bowl down and wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, “This
situation involves a mistake of principle, and most people can do nothing but accept legal sanctions.”
“What about you? Have you ever done that?” Riley felt anxious and leaned forward. She cared a lot
about the Watson Group!
About to leave, Euan said, “Am I most people? Anyway, I already said that I won’t interfere with
anything that happens with the Watson Group.”
Riley stood up with him, walked around the table and stood in front of him, blocking his way, “Euan, you
must help the Watson Group this time. Only you can help!”
She grabbed his sleeve and raised her head to stare into his eyes, “Euan, if you have a way, please
help the Watson Group!”
Euan looked down at her hand and then said faintly, “Is this how you ask for help, Riley?”
Damn it! It really looked like she was begging him right now. It felt really horrible!
Riley released his sleeve from her grip and smiled, “Looks like you have no intention of helping. Okay!
If you don’t want to help, I will find a way by myself!”
Euan frowned, the lines between his eyebrows deepened with anger. ‘Stupid woman! Beg to me once,
beg me once sincerely! Will you die from it?’
She obviously needed his help, but she just put on her arrogant look. She deserved to suffer!
“The Watson Group has already alarmed the industrial, commercial and judicial departments in JD City.
You being a doctor, even with all your connections, cannot settle this matter. The only person in JD City
who can help the Watson Group get through this is me.”
Saying that, Euan strode towards the living room, bumping into her shoulder roughly on his way. The
servant brought his coat and helped him put it on. Having neatly wore the coat of the black handmade
suit, he turned around to look at Riley, “I will give you a morning to think about it. Think about how will Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
you bargain with me.”
Saying that, he walked out of the villa door.
Riley’s chest rose and fell as she stood there breathing heavily. ‘Euan, you really think you are the
overlord of JD City, right?’ She couldn’t believe that she wouldn’t be able to find a way!
At this time, Riley’s cell phone rang.
As expected, it was Freya.
Riley snorted softly. Freya came to her after making a mess.
“So, what is it now?” Riley was sitting on the sofa in the living room. She could imagine Freya wishing
to choke Riley to death but having to call her for help.
“Something happened to the Watson Group… you are also a member of the Watson family. At such a
time… you should help.”
Ha ha!
“Freya, you made this mess yourself and now you are asking me for help in this tone? Wow, you are
gutsy!”
At this moment, Freya and Lauren were in the rest room of the Public Security Bureau, waiting for
someone to come rescue them. Lauren shook her head at her daughter and motioned her to coax Riley
politely first.
“Riley, look at what you said. No matter what you say, we are all members of the Watson family. Now
that the Watson Group is in trouble, everyone should try their best. Besides, it is not a big deal for
Euan. As long as you ask for his help, he will definitely help.”
Lauren was anxious and took the phone from Freya, “Riley, if the Watson Group accept the regular
investigation, we will not be able to operate normally for half a month and we will lose most of our
clients. If the group goes bankrupt, your mother, your father’s painstaking efforts will be wasted! Make
your decision quickly! If there’s no third-party intervention before noon today, the Watson Group will be
finished!”
“Riley, if you really belong to the Watson family and care about your father’s hard work, go to Euan
immediately!”
