Norman scoffed as he demanded, "Mr. Keller, was there something wrong with my attitude just now? I truly admire Mr. Lloyd's talent for networking and finding powerful backers! But when it comes to real skill and medical expertise, am I, as a department head, not allowed to express doubts?"
Logan frowned as he said flatly, "Dr. Ellington, are you seriously pushing your luck? You don't deserve to question anything here! Let me make this clear—discussing medicine in front of Andy? You're not even fit to shine his shoes."
He continued, "Do you know Dr. Mosby Lake? Even he wouldn't dare to act so arrogantly around Andy. So, who do you think you are?"
Norman grew furious. "Mr. Keller, you—"
Logan cut him off with a cold snort. "Shut up! Let me reveal something else to you—Mr. Phelan Senior and my father were both cured by Andrew.
"Now ask yourself, what right do you have to show off your superiority complex here? What gives you the right to jump around acting like you're something special?"
Norman suddenly felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over him from head to toe. Looking at Andrew, he asked uncertainly, "Is that true?"
Andrew did not even feel like acknowledging him and refused to respond, clearly finding Norman beneath his notice.
Chantelle stepped in. "Dr. Ellington, I can testify to these matters as well. It's true, absolutely true!"
"You can question Mr. Lloyd's character if you want, but you absolutely cannot doubt his medical skills," she added, simultaneously supporting Andrew while taking a subtle jab at him.
Women had complex minds, but Andrew was not in the mood to quibble with this frigid personality.
Meanwhile, Norman completely lost his composure. He only half-believed Logan's defense of Andrew, taking his words with a grain of salt. However, Chantelle was different—she represented the governor and would not stoop so low as to deceive him.
In other words, Andrew's medical skills had truly impressed the Three Titans and Five Apex Families.
