Chapter 755
“Yes!” Sally maintained her smile, pretending to not notice the slight change on Peter’s facial expression.
Peter took a glance at her luggage and walked into her room. He spoke to her coldly, “Don’t spend too much effort
on just one patient. If you want to save lives, there are so many other patients that could use your help.”
“…” Sally did not refute his words, still maintaining her smile. She knew that since they had brought this issue up, it
would not take long before they had a fight.
“Sally, listen to me, okay? I’ve never asked anything from you all these years. This is just one request from me,
from your brother.” Peter lowered his head and spoke to her in a soft, pleading voice.
Sally poured a glass of water. “Want some water?”
“No, thank you.’
After drinking another glass of water, Sally sat on a chair with a grim, sullen face.

or get involved in some untoward incidents. I hope you can help her too, Pete.”
Peter took a deep breath to suppress his temper. “This is not the way to judge whether a person’s good or not.”
“But can you not get her involved with that matter with Parker Group?!” Sally could not hold it in anymore. She
raised her head and confronted her brother.

Peter frowned as his face turned sullen. “Who told you that?”
“Pete, although I was young at the time, I could already remember things. Besides, I am the daughter of the victim
and there were many friends’ and classmates’ parents who were entrepreneurs. So of course I caught wind of the
news.

Sally’s eyes began swelling with tears. “I hated the Parkers too back then. But as I grew up, I began to understand.”
“What did you understand?” Peter’s voice turned cold upon hearing this.
Sally was stunned and turned silent upon seeing her brother’s reaction.
“Sally Hall! Tell me what the heck did you understand!” Peter raised his voice, demanding the answer from his
sister.
Sally gulped down her saliva and continued, “There is always competition in the business world. Tricks, ploys, and
schemes are unavoidable. And the winners call the shots… Our dad. lost to Parker Group so…”
“Fool!” Peter interrupted her in a cold tone, “Parker Group is based in Lumenpolis. And we, the Halls, are based in
Gryphon. What did we ever do to them? Huh? How could they, a massive corporation, wipe out the Halls like that?!
They did not even leave us some room to regroup and recover, sending us straight to bankruptcy! Heh, ‘survival of
the fittest’ my ass!
We’re humans, not animals! Yet look at them! Can these people call themselves humans?!”
Sally looked at him with teary eyes. “Pete, please don’t get upset.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You understood nothing, Sally. Nothing! It’s completely understandable if massive corporations fight tooth and nail
for survival. But preying on small companies like they did? Like how they oppressed and eliminated us, just for
money? It’s against the unspoken rules. and codes of the business field! It was because they bribed Dad’s most
trusted right-hand man to backstab him that he felt so depressed that he jumped off the roof! He lost his legs
because of that!”
Sally lowered her head weakly. “I’m sorry, Pete.”
Peter tried his best to calm down before speaking again. “I’ll pretend I never heard what you said. You’re still young
and naive. You don’t understand how heartless and despicable this world can be.”
Hearing that he was about to leave her room, Sally yelped out, “But…! But Fia had nothing to do with all that!”
“Sally!” Peter turned and glared at his sister. “You disappoint me!”
Sally walked to him and took his hand. She tearfully said, “Please, Pete. Don’t treat her as our enemy. I know you’re
actually a kind, gentle person who loves his sister very much. You’ve always doted on me. Fia is a close friend of
mine. Could you treat her like our younger sister, please?”

Peter was utterly speechless when he heard Sally’s ridiculous plea. Was his little sister too kind or too stupid?
