“This doesn’t make sense. Mr. Thatcher is in his prime, and my team monitors his health constantly. How could he fall ill so suddenly?” Bernard muttered. As Mark’s personal physician, the incident weighed heavily on his shoulders.
Harvey confidently announced, “I’ve already called Dr. Aicker, and he can surely help with Mr. Thatcher’s illness.”
Someone remarked, “Smart move, Mr. Weller. If Dr. Aicker saves Mr. Thatcher, the Wellers will certainly gain his favor.”
Another person nodded. “Exactly. If Mr. Thatcher recovers, the credit will surely go to Mr. Weller and his family.”
Even though he was secretly pleased with himself, Harvey maintained a serious expression. ” Mr. Thatcher is our mayor, and it’s only natural for me to help. I wouldn’t dare have any ulterior motives.”

Lauren did not deny it, simply saying, “Let’s wait for Dr. Aicker’s assessment. If he can’t help, my guy will take over.”
Harvey smirked. “Lauren, we’re both from prominent families, so let’s just be frank. I’ve brought Dr. Aicker himself, and Mr. Thatcher will surely recover. Your backup plan, whoever it is, would just be making a fool of themselves.”
Surprisingly, Lauren remained calm. “Is that so? You seem very confident, Harvey. But remember he who laughs last, laughs best.”

Lauren’s face turned cold. “Harvey, we can discuss business, but don’t you dare insult Dr. Lloyd, or you’ll regret it.”
