Reggie tried to shove his business card into Claire's hand, but she batted it away.
Dr. Sterling Senior was genuinely furious.
He didn't waste a second and immediately led Claire away.
Reggie didn't try to stop them.
He knew his limits; pushing things too far wouldn't do him any favors.
Harrison was still breathing, which meant it wasn't Reggie's time to run the show.
Claire wasn't particularly shocked to encounter someone like Reggie.
There were always entitled jerks who relied on their family's power to do whatever they wanted.
But the moment their powerful relatives passed away, reality would hit them hard.
When the time for reckoning came, every little mistake they made would be magnified.
They might be fine now, but they would eventually learn their lesson the hard way.
Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.
"That guy is an absolute lunatic. Do not engage with him," Dr. Sterling Senior advised Claire.
"If you give him any attention, he'll only double down."
Dr. Sterling Senior gave her a pointed look.
Claire nodded in understanding. "Don't worry, I know."
Seeing her calm demeanor, the older doctor remembered she had arrived tonight with the Green family heir.
Never mind. A woman who knew Dane wouldn't give someone like Reggie a second glance.
He was worrying over nothing.
Meanwhile, Reggie was already on the phone with his degenerate buddies,
demanding they dig up everything on Claire.
Claire had no idea the man was so obsessively petty.
The moment Reggie hung up, he realized Noah was standing right behind him.
He nearly jumped out of his skin.
"What the hell are you sneaking around for?"
Reggie snapped, clutching his chest.
Noah's expression was grim. Despite his young age, he already carried the same intimidating aura as Harrison.
No one doubted his bloodline anymore.
Word had it that Noah's father had been a spitting image of Harrison, too.
It made sense why Harrison
despised his own living sons,
enet
choosing instead to pour all his affection into an illegitimate grandson, and now, that grandson's child.
"Reggie, I strongly suggest you don't cause trouble for Claire."
"She might be the one keeping Harrison alive through his emergencies. If you cross
her and something happens to him..."
"You know exactly what's at stake here."
Reggie scoffed. "Don't try to threaten me."
"You know better than anyone who has the most to lose if he dies!"
As far as the rest of the Darwin family was concerned, Harrison was only crging to life for the sake of this great-grandson
Put simply, he was staying alive to pave the way for Noah, which did absolutely nothing for the rest of them.
"True. If Harrison is gone, it's highly debatable whether the rest of you will even survive in Cabinda,"
Noah remarked casually.
Reggie's face tightened.
He couldn't deny it without Harrison's protection, he was a nobody.
"That female doctor is practically a kid. You really think she can cure his chronic condition?"
"If you ask me, Sterling just brought her in to be his scapegoat."
"He knows he can't fix the old man anymore, so he grabs a rookie. things inevitably

go south his
hands will be clean."
"And that naive little doctor was actually dumb enough to agree."
"Me going after her might actually be saving her life."
Reggie was just running his mouth, maliciously twisting Dr. Sterling Senior's intentions.
He hated the old doctor, mostly because Sterling always looked at him like he was a piece of trash on the sidewalk.
But there wasn't a damn thing Reggie could do about it.
Dr. Sterling Senior wasn't just Harrison's physician; he was a highly respected
medical authority for top-tier politicians.
Reggie was just a useless playboy skating by on his family's coat-tails.
If he actually tried to mess with the esteemed doctor, Harrison would destroy him
before anyone else even had to step in.
Reggie was nothing but empty threats and hot air.
