Win Back the Heiress 176

Chapter 176 Fergus Thinks Highly of Himself 

Fergus and Raine went to the hospital together. 

Martha was having breakfast. When she saw them enter, she immediately lost her appetite. 

A trace of resentment flashed in Raine’s eyes, but she smiled and asked, “Grandma, how are you feeling?” 

“I’m fine,” Martha replied indifferently. 

“Is that so? Since you’re doing well, I suppose there’s no need to have the doctor come and perform surgery on you after all,” Raine said with a smile. 

She watched Martha closely, waiting for her to panic. After all, Martha would die if she didn’t have the surgery. She wanted Martha to regret her actions at the banquet yesterday. 

However, Martha showed no reaction, simply responding with a faint hum as if she couldn’t care 

less. 

Martha’s personal maid mocked, “Ms. Lidell-Oh, that’s not right. You’ve left the Lidell residence, so I’ll call you by your name now. Raine, did you come here just to tell us that?” 

“Of course not, I came to save Grandma!” Raine said, feigning innocence. “Grandma embarrassed me at the banquet yesterday, and Dr. Gales was furious when he found out. He said that the only way he’ll even consider doing your surgery is if you clear things up and admit that everything yesterday was just a joke.” 

“I won’t explain anything. You should leave now,” Martha said firmly. 

Fergus stepped forward. “Grandma, why must you be so stubborn?” 

Then, he paused to think. 

Having Nancy as his sister was nothing but an advantage. If Martha explained things, Nancy would definitely be even more disgusted with the Lidell family, making it harder for him to get close to her and therefore even harder to meet Yelena. 

Fergus turned to Raine and said, “Raine, what’s done is done. Even if Grandma explains things, I doubt anyone would believe her.” 

Raine thought it made sense and said, “Alright. No explanation, then. But Grandma, Dr. Gales’ surgery comes with a fee.” 

“How much is it?” 

“Dr. Gales said that you must transfer all of your shares to me. He thinks I’ve been through enough humiliation and deserve to have something solid to fall back on,” Raine answered. 

 

Martha sneered. “You wish. I won’t do the surgery!” 

Raine was stunned by Martha’s decisiveness. 

“Do you care about Nancy that much? You’d rather die just to leave the company to her?” Raine gritted her teeth, her hatred growing deeper in her eyes. 

“Even if I don’t leave the company to Nancy, I certainly won’t give it to you. I advise you to give up on 

the idea!” Martha said coldly. 

Raine felt a sharp pain in her chest. This old hag was so biased! 

“Fine. Since that’s the case, I won’t bother calling Dr. Gales. Grandma, why waste your time lying in a hospital bed? Just go home and wait to die!” Raine snapped, dropping the act and revealing the 

venom in her voice. 

“Raine, how dare you speak to Mrs. Liddell Senior like that?” the maid angrily shouted. 

Fergus also looked at Raine in surprise. 

But Raine turned and walked away. 

Fergus quickly followed her. “Raine, are you okay?” 

He caught up to her, and she stopped, her eyes turning red. “Fergie, do you think it’s because I don’t have the Lidell family’s blood that Grandma treats me this way? Is bloodline really that important?” 

Fergus felt a sharp pang of sympathy. “Grandma’s just being stubborn. Don’t mind her. She’ll come begging you to ask Dr. Gales to save her when she feels unwell!” 

Raine believed the same. She looked at Fergus and asked, “Fergie, don’t you have something for me? 

“Huh? What’s that? Raine, what are you talking about?” 

Raine frowned. Could it be that she misunderstood? Was it not a gift in his pocket? 

“Raine, have the driver take you home. Don’t overthink it, and just rest well.” Fergus comforted her. 

“Alright, but what about you?” 

“I’m going somewhere, but I’ll be back to keep you company soon.” 

Fergus then went to hail a cab. 

Raine felt something was off. Thus, she told the driver, “Follow the cab ahead.” 

Soon, the cab arrived at the building of Duran Corporation. 

Raine’s unease grew, her teeth grinding. Was Fergus going to meet Nancy? 

Y CLOSE 

 

Could it be that his gift was meant for Nancy? 

 

Nancy had just come out of a meeting when she heard that Fergus had arrived. 

“He’s downstairs. Do you want to meet him, Ms. Moore?” Hannah asked. 

“No need to bother with him,” Nancy replied. 

Downstairs, Fergus stood with confidence at the front desk. But following Hannah’s instructions, the receptionist coldly said, “Sorry, Ms. Moore won’t see you.”
