"You!" Tyler shouted furiously, pointing an accusing finger at Berloff Reed.
Berloff, unfazed, let out a cold laugh and dialed the number of Oscar, the director of Silk City Royal Hospital.
"Hi, is this Director Oscar? This is Berloff Reed. I wonder if you've heard of me?"
Oscar, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed expert in Orchid Empire affairs, immediately brightened up upon hearing Berloff's name. His tone was respectful, "Mr. Berloff, hello, hello!"
"I just received the official news that Mr.Berloff has acquired our Silk City Royal Hospital today."
"You are now my boss; how could I not know you?"
Oscar's perfectly enunciated Orchid Empire accent came through Berloff's phone speaker, clearly audible to everyone present.
Boom!
It was like a thunderclap in their ears. Tyler and the others were stunned by what they heard.
What kind of international joke was this?
That was an international top-tier private hospital worth billions of pounds, and Berloff Reed had just casually acquired it?
Just moments ago, Tyler had been reluctant to pay the exorbitant medical fees for Caitlin's father at Silk City Royal Hospital.
And now, before his words had even settled, Berloff had bought the entire hospital.
This was the ultimate slap in the face!
Clap, clap, clap...
Tyler's face turned from green to white, as if he could hear the crisp sound of slaps echoing in his ears. He felt utterly humiliated and frustrated.
Beside him, Elspeth's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Berloff Reed. Just moments ago, she had been jumping up and down in front of her niece Caitlin, constantly praising Mr. Tyler and expressing her disdain for Berloff. Now, she realized that the Berloff she had looked down upon was the real big shot.
Compared to the super-rich Berloff, the wealthy second-generation Tyler was nothing but a nobody. The thought made Elspeth's face fill with terror, and she wished she could slap herself right then and there. If a super-rich man who could buy Silk City Royal Hospital married her niece Caitlin, she would be set for life. She almost ruined such a great opportunity—what a fool she had been!
Berloff smiled slightly and glanced at Caitlin before speaking loudly, "Dean Oscar, here's the thing: I have an elementary school teacher who has pancreatic cancer. I want to send them to Silk City Royal Hospital for treatment. Can you arrange that?"
Dean Oscar immediately pounded his chest in assurance. "Boss, don't worry. Leave it to me. When it comes to cancer treatment, our Royal Hospital is top-notch globally. For the patient you mentioned, I will gather the best medical experts in the hospital to form the most professional team and mobilize all hospital resources to provide the best treatment."
Berloff was taken aback. He hadn't expected this blonde, blue-eyed Dean Oscar to have mastered the art of loyalty so well after spending time in the country.
"Very good, very good. That puts my mind at ease!"
Oscar continued, "Boss, do you know where your elementary school teacher is right now? Our Royal Hospital has a specially modified medical jet, a Dassault Falcon 2000, designed for patient transport.""If you need it, I can have the plane dispatched immediately."
Hearing this, everyone in the hospital room looked at Berloff Reed with awe and shock.
Look at the hospital Berloff Reed acquired, using a specially modified private jet to transport patients. That's some serious wealth!
Most hospitals would consider themselves high-end if they had a medical helicopter worth a few million.
But compared to the renowned Royal Hospital, they were nothing.
Elspeth's eyes sparkled as she stared intently at Berloff.
At that moment, she had only one thought: "I can't let my niece Caitlin lose such a golden opportunity!"
"If Caitlin marries Berloff, as her aunt, I'll definitely live a life of luxury and wealth."
"In front of Berloff, who cares about Mr. Tyler? He can get lost!"
Elspeth's eyes darted around, and she coldly said to Tyler, "Tyler, maybe you should leave. Mr. Berloff is more than enough here."
Wow!
Mr. Tyler had been downgraded to just "Tyler," while Berloff had been elevated to "Mr. Berloff."
Hearing this, Tyler's blood boiled, and his eyes turned red with anger.
"Ugh! What the heck is this Mr. Berloff nonsense!"
"This guy just made a phone call, and you all are ready to worship him like he's some kind of noble?"
"Look at him, dressed so poorly. How could he possibly buy Silk City Royal Hospital?"
Thud, thud, thud...
At that moment, Caitlin's father's attending doctor pushed open the door to the hospital room, accompanied by a middle-aged doctor with graying hair, both wearing white coats.
"Mr. Eugene, this is Berloff Reed, Mr. Berloff!"
What? The hospital director is here? And he's specifically looking for Berloff Reed?
What on earth is going on?
Tyler was utterly confused.
The next second, Mr. Eugene's face lit up with a broad smile as he eagerly extended both hands toward Berloff.
"Mr. Berloff, it's a pleasure to meet you!""Silk City Royal Hospital has already contacted us."
"In two hours, their medical jet will arrive at the city's Peace Airport."
Berloff smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Eugene. I appreciate your help with transferring Teacher Dorian."
Mr. Eugene shook his head, "Not at all! It's our honor to serve Mr. Berloff's teacher!"
"Honestly, it's quite an oversight on my part. The new owner of Silk City Royal Hospital visits our hospital, and I, as the director, didn't come out to welcome you. Please, Mr. Berloff, don't take offense."Hiss...
Tyler's heart skipped a beat, and he took a sharp breath. Even the director of the county hospital had personally confirmed Berloff Reed's identity. Everything Tyler had said before now seemed like a complete joke.
Pfft!
Elspeth stood with her hands on her hips, looking down at Tyler with a smug expression, as if Berloff had already become her niece's husband, basking in the reflected glory.
Tyler was so angry he was grinding his teeth, but in front of Berloff, he didn't dare to act out anymore. He could only shrink back and pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Caitlin, who had been in a state of shock the entire time, finally snapped back to reality when she heard Berloff and Mr. Eugene discussing the transfer of her father. She burst into tears of joy.
"Berloff, thank you so much!"
"If it weren't for you, my dad..."
Seeing Caitlin crying like a rain-soaked flower, Berloff stepped forward to comfort her. "Caitlin, your dad was my elementary school teacher. As his student, it's only right for me to do what I can. You don't need to be so formal with me."Caitlin shook her head. "Berloff, don't worry. Whether my dad makes it or not, I'll spend my whole life repaying your kindness."
To Caitlin, the millions in medical expenses at the Royal Hospital and the medical jet were beyond her means.
Berloff's life-saving help for her father was as heavy as a mountain, and she felt she could never repay it.
Just then, her aunt Elspeth chuckled and said, "Caitlin, what are you talking about?"
"Mr. Reed doesn't look like he's married. If you really want to thank him, why not just marry him?"
