Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride

Chapter 87 Bait

"We have a talent agent at our subsidiary entertainment company who regularly reports business to Mr. Alter," Shawn said, stroking Ivy's hair and speaking softly. Her hair was very soft, perhaps due to her extended time in the hospital. It carried a faint medicinal scent, which always gave Shawn a familiar and comforting feeling. "What kind of gossip?" Despite her current mood, Ivy's curiosity was piqued by his words. "If a similar celebrity to our company appears in the market, the two tigers must fight, and one must die," Shawn explained. "The artist's management team generally investigates their conduct and any scandals with enough evidence and media support to destroy them. This leaves no possibility of them ever recovering, and their financial backers have to give up the cash cow. So..." As he spoke, he looked at Ivy with a teasing smile that seemed to say, "You're clever; you must have figured it out by now." But Ivy had an expression of confusion on her face and asked, "So what?" Shawn sighed deeply and tapped her head gently. "You're naive." Ivy was somewhat dazed when Shawn suddenly tapped her, but his unexpected words jolted her back to reality. Her clear eyes suddenly brightened, and she sat up straight. "I understand." "Senior mentioned that he has evidence of Tanya taking bribes. I'll go and find him." Muttering to herself, Ivy hurried off without realizing the abrupt change in Shawn's handsome face due to her words. "Mr. Tate, this situation is not right, isn't it?" Luke, his personal assistant, was baffled. The normal protocol should have been for Dr. Jones to turn to Mr. Tate and ask for his help, right? Why did she go to her senior? It was evident that Dr. Jones had a straightforward mind. So, he comforted his boss, "Mr. Tate, your wife is solely focused on her patient, but she has you in her heart." Shawn's lips pressed together slightly, and his handsome face darkened for a while before relaxing. After a while, he said, "Instruct the private investigator to prepare all the evidence against the Potts family.""Understood!" Once his assistant had finished reporting, he went out to handle the tasks. When he was on his way back to the County Clinic to report to General Tate, he saw a group of doctors from the First Hospital in City A gathered in the meeting room, covered by a glass enclosure in the emergency department. Leading the group, Professor Smith seemed to be reprimanding Tanya while pacing back and forth in the room. They seemed to be discussing a treatment plan, but Luke watched and understood that they probably wouldn't reach a conclusion. He quickly reported what he had seen to Shawn. At that time, Shawn was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the people moving below. After Luke finished his report, Ivy walked in. Seeing that he hadn't left yet, Ivy felt a pang of sympathy. "You should go back and rest. You've only just finished surgery, and you don't need to be running around like this for me." He looked at the woman whose face looked several times more haggard than an hour ago and shook his head. "Is it too difficult?" Taking the water that Luke handed to her, she gulped it down and then sighed. "Advanced bone cancer is beyond surgical treatment. Professor Smith and a few experts suggested a conservative approach, combining traditional medicine with chemotherapy. But Professor Alter, an authoritative figure in traditional medicine, left for the England over ten years ago due to some misunderstandings and vowed never to return." Frowning, Shawn asked, "You're talking about Professor Erica, Mr. Bob Alter's sister?" Ivy nodded. When she was young, she had only heard from news reports that Professor Erica left Country A due to certain reasons, but the news never explained why. The news was simple and labeled her departure as setting back traditional medicine in the field of bone cancer by a decade. After becoming a doctor at the First Hospital in City A, she had heard other doctors lament that if Professor Erica were still there, they would have already overcome this challenge. However, she left, and she even severed contact with everyone in City A, including the Alter family. Ivy didn't know the reason, but Shawn was very aware of why Professor Erica left. She was his mother's biggest fan, even closer than sisters. Later, when his mother was killed by Bob Alter, Professor Erica had also reported to the police in an attempt to resist Bob Alter. However, due to a lack of evidence, the murderer Bob Alter had gone unpunished.In her anger, Professor Erica accepted an invitation to the England, took on British Citizenship, and never returned. Afterward, she helped him when he was framed by Bob Alter, which eventually led to his trip to the England and his subsequent rise. "Professor Smith just tried contacting Professor Alter's office at the London hospital. As soon as he stated his intention, the call was abruptly hung up," Ivy said, covering her face in frustration. "I just applied for a UK visa, and when it's issued, I plan to go ask her to return in person. But visa processing times are too long, and I'm afraid the patient can't wait." Shawn suggested, "How about sending the patient's information to her office? Phone calls can be hung up, but at least with emails, you can explain the situation. She can provide remote consultation and prescribe treatment." "But will she read it?" "Instead of worrying and feeling helpless here, why don't you take this time to send the emails? If one doesn't work, try two. If one email address is blocked, use another. Even if she doesn't see it, her students probably will." "You're right!" Ivy immediately stood up, opened her computer, and sent all the patient's information as an attachment to the email of the hospital in the London where Professor Erica worked. After finishing all this, she hurried back to the conference room. She needed to mobilize the hospital staff to send emails and search for email addresses related to Professor Erica. Once Ivy left, Shawn had Luke stand guard at the office entrance, preventing anyone from entering. He dialed Professor Erica's phone number, even though it was currently past three in the morning in the England. As expected, she hadn't gone to sleep. "Shawn, why are you calling me all of a sudden?" Professor Erica sounded extremely excited. It had been so many years, and this stubborn kid hadn't called once, with all contact coming from her mother. "How have you been recently? Why haven't you replied to the emails I sent? You haven't responded to my chat either..." "Aunt, I got married." "It turns out you've been busy getting married--What? Married? Married?!!! Shawn, you got married?!" The excited muttering immediately turned into a thunderous rage, "Shawn Dyxon Tate!!! When did you get married?! Why didn't I know? Why didn't anyone inform me?!"The man played with the ring in his hand and chuckled softly, "The wedding will be held the day after tomorrow. Will you come back to attend it?" ***
