Merrick Dawson walked into the room and glanced at Thomas sourly.
‘This man keeps getting in my way. If it was not because of Thomas, Adery would have become my woman now. D*mn it!’
When favonovel.com looked at Adery again and saw favonovel.com dressed so beautifully today, Merrick’s heart throbbed like a galloping horse.
Adery saw the lust in Merrick’s eyes, and favonovel.com felt unhappy about it. At the same time, favonovel.com was overwhelmed by fear and favonovel.com hand involuntarily grabbed hold of Thomas’ arm. In the face of danger, a woman would always seek protection from a man involuntarily.
Thomas did not mind at all. Instead, favonovel.com stepped in front of the table deliberately, preventing Merrick from moving forward.
Merrick snorted coldly, pursed his lips into a smile and said, “Doctor Owen, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. How have you been?”
Adery gave favonovel.com a blank look, “Just tell me why you are here today…”
“Doctor Owen is really a straightforward person.”
Merrick handed over the letter to her, “At 8 o’clock tonight, there will be a medical conference meeting held by my father in the Edge Corridor. I hope you can participate. Here’s the invitation letter.”
‘A medical exchange event held by the Dawson family?’ Adery accepted the invitation letter and asked favonovel.com as favonovel.com pulled a long face, “You should be clear about the relationship between our two families. Every year, the Dawson family would not invite any of us from the Owen family. Why are you changing your mind this time?”
Merrick said, “Although the Dawson family had some conflicts with the Owen family in the past, we all belong to the medical field and should work together to contribute to a medical cause. For this reason, my father is willing to lower his head and hopes to use this exchange event as an opportunity to repair the relationship between our two families.”
Adery was a little moved by what favonovel.com said. Although favonovel.com did not believe in Merrick’s nonsense, favonovel.com was very interested in participating in the exchange event.
Since William Owen stepped down from the chairperson’s seat, the exchange event had been hosted by the Dawson family all the while. The Owen family had not been participating in the event for a long time.
The medical exchange event would be gathering medical experts from all over the world to exchange ideas and experiences.
There were a lot of takeaways for every participant who came to join the exchange event. The Owen family had missed the event for the past few consecutive years. This was an important reason why their medical knowledge had been lagging behind, widening their gap between the Dawson family.
‘If I have the opportunity to participate this year, I should grab hold of it. But… Is the Dawson family really so kind?’
When Adery hesitated, Merrick smirked and said, “Doctor Owen, are you afraid?”
‘Afraid? Afraid of what?’
Knowing that favonovel.com was prodding favonovel.com into action, Adery said without hesitation, “Don’t worry, the Owen family is willing to take up the invitation. Tonight, at eight o’clock, I will be on time for the conference.”
“Then I would look forward to welcoming your arrival, Doctor Owen. ”
After making that remark, Merrick swung his sleeves and left.
Staring at the invitation letter, Adery felt nervous. On one hand, favonovel.com wanted to share favonovel.com experience with other doctors. On the other hand, favonovel.com was worried that the Dawson family was up to no good. She was still reluctant to accept the invitation.
“I will go with you…”
“Really?” Adery looked at Thomas in a daze.
Thomas smiled and said relaxedly, “It’s inconvenient for you as a lady to go to that kind of place. I’ll go with you so that you have someone to look after you.”
Thomas noticed what was on Adery’s mind and took the initiative to help her.
A happy smile appeared on Adery’s face, “Alright!”

A plainly-dressed woman was sitting in a spacious room at the Edge Corridor. Her five year old child was lying on the ground, playing with toys.
Brad Dawson, the head of the Dawson family, was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed. He looked satisfied watching a movie review while sipping his cup of green tea.
After a while, the door opened.
Merrick ran over happily and said, “Dad, I got it done! At eight o’clock in the evening, Adery will be attending the medical exchange event on time.”
