Chapter 20: Toronto's Great Physician
"Of course, I am referring to Miss Annetta White," Lance said with a smile.
He greeted Annetta after he had finished speaking. Annetta casually smiled and nodded in return,
saying, "Uncle Ward, thank you for taking the trouble to come here."
It seemed that the famous Lance Foster, whom all the rich and powerful sought favour with, was just an
ordinary elder to her.
"You are most welcome, Miss White. I am honoured to be able to do favours for you."
There was a pin drop silence after Lance had finished speaking.
Plain and ugly-looking Annetta White was the granddaughter of Old Master Lorin that Lance was
referring to instead of Carla White?
Even Lorin was shocked. How did his granddaughter know such a big shot? Although he had doubts,
he still felt proud of his granddaughter.
He remembered his eldest daughter, who had been his pride and joy. Hailed as "Toronto's Great
Physician," Flavia Powell had been a master in the art of healing and creating seemingly miraculous
cures. It was as if she possessed "magical hands" capable of "resurrecting the dead." What a tragedy
she passed away at such a young age. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Fortunately, his granddaughter was finally back on the right track despite previously being blinded by
her love for that boy from the Taylor family.
"Lance not only knows Annetta and calls her Miss White, but he is also honoured to do favours for her?
What kind of relationship do they have?"
Some people in the crowd began to talk about it—
"Carla White came and strutted around just now, thinking that President Foster was looking for her.
How embarrassing for her!"
"Haha! Didn't I always say that one should not focus too much on external appearance? President
Foster is renowned for having a loving relationship with his wife. Even if Carla White is beautiful, he
might not notice her!"
Even though there was talk of Annetta White's unseemly relationship with WD's boss, there was some
hesitation at this point.
Lance was known for being a controlling husband. Furthermore, Germaine Foster had personally
accompanied him here.
Carla's face changed the minute Lance said Annetta's name. Furthermore, the crowd, who had praised
her, was now starting to question her. She clutched her gown tightly, and her beautiful face turning
momentarily ugly because of her scowl.
The atmosphere was full of doubt, and no one dared to say anything.
However, Carla rushed out without thinking. She did not believe that the person Lance was looking for
was Annetta!
How could Annetta know such a rich and powerful person? She said to Lance, "President Foster,
surely you must be mistaken! I am the granddaughter of the Powell's! The person you are looking for is
me!"
Lance looked at Carla coldly. "Are you worthy of comparing yourself with Miss White?"
Carla's face turned purple with anger.
Everyone knew Lance was always amiable, although he was the boss of Infinity Group. No one
expected him to rebuke Carla directly and defend Annetta.
Everyone was immediately more concerned about the relationship between Annetta and him.
A hint of cruelty flashed in Carla's eyes as she suddenly burst out laughing, "Haha! Look, Dad! I was
right! Annetta is definitely boss WD's mistress! If not, why would he give such luxurious gifts on her
behalf?!"
Everyone looked at her with pity in their eyes when she said these things. However, Carla was
oblivious to all their stares.
Hunk had heard of Lance even though he was rather ignorant. His face darkened when he saw his
second daughter speaking up after being rebuked by Lance.
Before he could speak, Cicely quickly came to her daughter's defence.
"I don't mean to criticize you, Annetta. Even though you are my stepdaughter, I have always treated
you as my own daughter. You've always been well fed in the White family. How can you be so cold-
blooded now?
