Chapter 265

Victor Roscente's Scheme

Ryan Fairsprene took a deep breath and composed himself.

The next patient entered the room.

After a thorough examination, he carefully delivered his diagnosis.

His anxious gaze flickered toward Vivian Laurent.

Vivian remained expressionless.

"Accurate diagnosis," she finally said. "Write up the lab orders."

Ryan exhaled in relief and quickly filled out the forms.

The door burst open.

"Wendy Valentine?" Ryan checked the appointment list.

A timid young woman raised her hand.

Victor Roscente stood in the doorway, his stare locked on Vivian.

"Let's talk outside," Vivian said, rising.

In the hallway, Victor lowered his voice. "We'll discuss this at a café."

"Do I know you?" Vivian arched an eyebrow.

"I'm Victoria Roscente's father." Victor revealed his identity.

Vivian smirked. "Get to the point."

"You're involved in my daughter's situation." Victor's tone turned threatening. "Making a scene won't benefit you."

A sharp glint flashed in Vivian's eyes.

She knew Victor all too well.

Back in the Roscente family, he'd always been an opportunist.

"Fine." Vivian agreed readily.

At the hospital entrance, Victor pointed to a black sedan.

"I'll take you to a proper café."

Vivian glanced at the vehicle.

"There's one right here."

"People like us don't go just anywhere." Victor's voice dripped with arrogance.

Vivian followed without protest.

A sinister smile curled Victor's lips.

As they neared the car, four men in black suddenly rushed forward.

Vivian was prepared.

Steel glinted in the light.

A scalpel pressed against Victor's throat.

"Don't move." Her voice was ice.
