Chapter 780 Is the Surgery a Success?

Considering that Paul was a friend of Alec's and that she had not given up on pursuing

him, she nodded at Paul as a form of greeting. To her dismay, Paul ignored the gesture

because he looked down on her. Enraged, she felt disrespected.

"Are all Parringtonians this stubborn?’ First, there was Jenny, and here came Paul, who was

similarly annoying. She also knew how obstinate Alec could be.

Paul sat on the bench outside of the operating theatre and chuckled. ’ Maybe it's not us

who are stubborn. Perhaps, Bardoff people are simply weak in comparison."

"Paul Wagner!" She was outraged. "I didn't want to fight with you because you're Alec's

friend, but you shouldn't go overboard either!"

"Miss Watkins, you're being weird. When did I go overboard? I didn’t even do anything.’ He

shrugged, looking innocent. Sure, he did not do anything to her, but his attitude alone was

enough to irk her.

She scoffed and sat on the bench across from him, refusing to talk to him for the sake of

her sanity. This time around, he opened his mouth. "Miss Watkins, I bet you're worried. If

the surgery is a success, your lies will be exposed."

Others might not know about Alec's situation, but as a friend, Paul was well aware of

Alec's history with Jenny. Alec's affection for Jenny was unrelated to mental health issues—

it was pure love. Of course, Paul could tell that Alec's affection for Jenny had morphed into

an odd obsession, which might be related to an existing mental health concern. Still, Alec

must have truly loved Jenny, and the mental health issue only exacerbated his actions.

"What lies are you talking about? Alec has been suffering from mental health issues all the

while. How can you be sure he didn't fall in love with her because of his existing issues?’

Blake was fearless-the blame couldn't be shifted to her even if Alec regained his

memories.

Paul smirked. ’Miss Watkins, you're quite stubborn too, aren't you?"

"Hah, I'm no match for you. Look at you, coming all the way to Bardoff City, but your

woman wouldn't even look at you," she mocked him.

His expression instantly crumbled. "Did you investigate me?"

"I do that to everyone around Alec. But I find your background particularly interesting."

She did not deny that she had investigated him, mostly because she didn't take him

seriously. Even after the merger between the Wagner Group and Faust Group, the Wagners

were nothing more than a second-tier family in Parrington-too insignificant in the eyes of

the Watkins.

Paul was seething in anger, but a thought flashed across his mind, causing him to smirk. ’I

bet you're not faring better than me. If the Watkins cared about you, they wouldn't have

let you practice as a psychologist for years. You are probably betting on Alec to take over

the Faust Group. If he succeeds, you can borrow his influence to take over the Watkins

family business. But if he fails, you lose nothing, either. At the very least, you could go

back to your practice."

She looked ashen-faced but did not retort because he was telling the truth.

The two stopped squabbling and sank into a long silence. Six hours later, the doors of the

operating theater finally flung open, and a nurse emerged.

"I'm looking for Alec Faust's family," the nurse said.

Paul and Blake hurried up and asked, ’Is the surgery a success?" 2
