Susan Sterling was a little confused by Aurora Sterling's sudden praise, but hearing the complimentary words, she naturally felt smug.

Aurora Sterling smiled faintly, her eyes sparkling. "A powerful woman of your status and position must value promises above all else. You would never go back on your word, would you?"
Susan Sterling froze for a moment, then nodded. "Of course!"
Susan Sterling was, after all, the head of gynecology at a major hospital, managing numerous doctors and nurses. Moreover, the guests she had invited today were all prominent figures. With Aurora flattering her and posing such a question, she naturally had to give an affirmative answer.
