Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 906:

The entire Nash family had gathered in the living room. Everyone’s attention was focused on Sergio’s relapse, so no one noticed Marissa’s arrival. By the door, she stood silently, observing. Upon her return to the Nash family, she quickly noticed that Gerry, her father’s cousin, harbored improper ambitions. Originally, Gerry had planned to elevate his son to the role of patriarch after Sansa lost her standing. But then, Landen was taken under the wing of the world-renowned doctor, Riss, becoming the family’s new hope. Consequently, Gerry’s plans were thwarted as everyone supported Landen. Now, Gerry’s ambitions seemed rekindled.

After his speech, doubt spread among the family as they cast disappointed glances at Landen. Seizing the opportunity, Gerry continued to scald him.

“You’re the successor to the patriarch of a distinguished medical family, yet you fail to heal your father. How can you advance our family’s medical legacy? Can we really entrust our family’s future to you? You lack talent in medicine and have shown no proficiency in medical techniques or pharmacology. Moreover, you appear uninterested, spending time abroad for leisure and barely staying in Blebert. A person as incapable and lazy as you, who indulges only in pleasure, should realistically resign from their position. Just live on your allowance and let someone capable lead.”

Gerry’s words were cutting, and Landen felt profoundly humiliated. Yet the other family members nodded in agreement, with none defending him. One family member even supported Gerry’s harsh critique by saying, “Though harsh, Gerry’s points are valid. We cannot let the Nash family be led by the inept as when Sansa was around.”

“Exactly! We strongly oppose Landen becoming the leader,” another added.

Encouraged by the support, Gerry said, “Now that Sergio’s condition is beyond help, we should select a new leader today. The family needs guidance without delay.” He concluded, looking at his cousin Crosby Nash, who straightened up in response. Landen smiled sarcastically.

Of course, he was well aware of Gerry’s ambitions. Gerry had been persuading other family members to install his son as the family leader recently. Yet, Landen couldn’t publicly counter his uncle’s claims due to his poor competition performance, which made him an easy target for ridicule. He felt unjustly treated.

He had been eagerly awaiting a call from Riss to start his training in medicine and pharmacology, determined to uplift the Nash family. Regrettably, Riss had neither summoned him nor offered any advice. He had repeatedly asked Ferris for updates, only to be told to wait.

Even without Riss’s guidance, Landen believed he could have improved on his own and not failed the family’s examination so miserably. However, he hadn’t had time to study recently, due to his search for Tiffany and his investigation into the tragedy at the hospital in BIO, having made multiple trips there recently.

Regrettably, Landen couldn’t disclose his reasons to his family. He had no choice but to silently endure Gerry’s scorn and ridicule.

Hannah was also aware of Gerry’s schemes and gave Landen a disappointed look. However, even though she considered removing Landen from his position, she would never back Gerry’s son.

Landen might not excel, but he was known for his integrity. On the other hand, it was common knowledge that Gerry’s son was a scoundrel. To hand the Nash family reigns to such a scoundrel would be inviting disaster. With this thought, Hannah scoffed.

“Sergio is still with us, yet you rush to place your son in power? Your greed is plain for all to see. It’s utterly disgraceful.”

Gerry’s expression darkened, and he retorted sharply, “Brian is no longer here, Hannah, and no one can heal Sergio. Who knows how long Sergio will last? Even if he survives, he’s like a man already gone. Do you intend to maintain your status as the hostess of the family by preserving a figurehead at the helm? That’s truly disgraceful.”
