She Became Rich After Divorce
Chapter 508: Respecting The Elderly

Chapter 508: Respecting the Elderly

Cheyenne had always been the type of person who believed in mutual respect: But when this arrogant woman arrived, she immediately criticized the Edwards family and the Thirteen Needles.

Despite being a grandfather, Kyson didn't intervene, instead, at the end, insincerely explaining that Old Mr. Edwards and him were good friends.

'What a hypocrite!' Cheyenne thought and found it intolerable.

Just earlier, she had been friendly towards them for Jonathan's sake, but they didn't appreciate it.

The smile on her face faded; she then put on a confident look and retorted, "My grandfather doesn't need friends like you, who are hypocritical, vain, and have ill intentions. And as for whether the Thirteen Needles of the Edwards family deserve its reputation, would you dare to challenge them?"

Hypocritical? Kyson's face froze for a moment, before it turned completely dark. To defend her grandfather, Leah immediately agreed to the competition, but with one condition: if Cheyenne lost, she would have to give up her position as the acting hospital director and resign.

This... caused everyone to look at Leah in unison. This woman was ruthless, but many also supported her. They didn't like Cheyenne and felt she was just an eye candy at the hospital.

On the other hand, Eddie was somewhat disappointed. Leah, his admired medical idol turned out to be such an aggressive person.

"The position of hospital director was personally bestowed upon Cheyenne by the former director. She cannot give it up!" Eddie stepped forward without hesitation, facing Kyson, and spoke up for Cheyenne. "Without talent or virtue, what entitles her to this position? Not daring to compete, is it because of fear? If so, she could simply admit her own defeat!" Leah pressed on relentlessly, her hatred making Cheyenne feel speechless.

Lifting her fair, delicate chin, Cheyenne let out a snort. "Since this is a competition, there should be rewards and punishments, right? What if I win?"

Her voice, though not loud, reached everyone's ears.

Soon after, mocking laughter filled the air.

Leah, with a disdainful expression, approached with her arms crossed. "Are you crazy? How could you possibly win? As the most gifted prodigy in the Owen family, I started learning about pharmacology with my grandfather at the age of three. I entered high school at thirteen and university at sixteen. By the time I was twenty, I had become an internationally renowned prodigy surgeon, even younger than Eddie. I've won the Lasker Medical Award for Basic Medical Research twice in a row, becoming the youngest female recipient."

Before meeting Leah in person, Eddie had always considered her a goddess. However, today, seeing her in person shattered all his previous illusions. His feelings toward her turned from admiration to anger. "Cheyenne is no inferior to you. I believe she will win," Eddie declared confidently.

Leah, as if suddenly enlightened, sneered and said mockingly, "Cheyenne, are you just going to hide behind men?"

"Eddie, step aside. I can handle it," Cheyenne smiled as she gently pushed Eddie aside.

She pointed at Kyson. "I only have one condition, to compete with old Mr. Owen."

Leah was caught off guard. 'Cheyenne wanted to compete with my grandpa?'

'Was she pretending, or was she really insane? What qualifications did she have to compete with my grandpa? Was she trying to save face by losing to my grandpa?'

"No!" Leah vetoed.

Kyson raised an eyebrow with a polite smile.

"What? Is your grandpa afraid of losing to me, the younger generation?" Cheyenne's words seemed to be overconfident. Who gave her the courage to think she could compete with Kyson?

Even Eddie, who stood by her side, felt it was unbelievable. He gently reminded her, "Cheyenne, don't be ridiculous. Kyson is genuinely great in medicine."

Cheyenne sighed softly and looked at Eddie with resentment. "Don't you believe in me, Eddie?"

At that moment, Eddie blushed and awkwardly nodded, then vehemently shook his head. "Of course, I believe in your abilities, Cheyenne, but... right now, you're still young and haven't had much practical experience."

He believed that in a few years, she would definitely be able to surpass Leah.

But right now...

Cheyenne's untimely challenge surprised Kyson, and against all odds, he agreed to her "unreasonable" request. "I accept your challenge, young lady. You have great courage. I hope your skills are as strong as your bravery."

Leah called out dissatisfied, "Grandpa, she's being unreasonable, why did you agree to her request."

"Leah, life is so dull. Especially at my age, I've seen it all. It's fun to compete with a young lady."

Cheyenne sternly reminded him, "Life may be dull to you, but I hope you take this seriously. After all, I won't go easy on you just because you're the elderly."

"Like grandfather, like granddaughter. You both have the same bad temper!"

The competition was simple: both of them had to find and provide a solution for a stranger's ailment within the shortest time possible to win.

They were in Hopedale Hospital. Finding a patient shouldn't be difficult, and the treatment was free. Moreover, due to Kyson's reputation, the moment the news got out, people were clamoring to sign up. As for Cheyenne, although she had the title of "acting hospital director," her youthful and delicate appearance caused many to doubt her abilities as a doctor who treated patients.
