Chapter 340 Compromise
Alexander stood frozen halfway, neither speaking nor moving, emanating an air of conflict.
“Alexander, why are you silent again?”
“Is the Turner family unwilling to return those doctors to the Spears family?”
Tory seemed to have lost patience, crossing his arms behind him as he spoke, pacing back and forth.
“I’m well aware of how many doctors the Spears family sent over,”
He continued. “When the time comes, the Turner family should kindly return them to the Spears family, not one more, not one less.”
Alexander hesitated, attempting to find reasons to keep the doctors. “These doctors have been with the Turner family for a long time, some have even started families within the Turner family. It would be difficult for them if they suddenly had to go to the Spears family.”
“Oh, really?” Tory raised an eyebrow.
Alexander thought Tory’s expression indicated a chance to keep the doctors, so he quickly spoke up.
“Yes, the Turner family has even provided the doctors with houses and cars. These doctors have practically settled
within the Turner family… It would be inhumane to make them leave so suddenly.”
Alexander expressed his position with a reproachful tone.
However, Tory was not bound by this so-called moral constraint, and he suddenly laughed.
“Inhumane?”
“Don’t worry, everything that the Turner family has provided for these doctors, the Spears family will provide in full.
We won’t let them suffer the slightest grievance.”
“You can rest assured and send them over; you don’t need to trouble yourself with these matters.”
With these words, Tory completely blocked Alexander’s arguments.
His words were stuck halfway, not knowing what to say.
“It might take some time to send the doctors along with some medical equipment… If the Turner family is too busy to handle it, we can personally come and pick them up.”
Tory raised his eyebrows, appearing very considerate.
“Oh, I just remembered It, Alexander, didn’t you initially make it clear that you didn’t want to cooperate with the Spears family?”
“Should we just end the cooperation between the Spears family and the Turner family in New York altogether?”

“Well, the Turner family doesn’t lack the Spears family as a partner, right?”
Tory’s tone was serious, showing absolutely no hint of Joking.
Ending the cooperation wouldn’t affect the Spears family at all because, in New York, the Spears family was the family, and no other family could rival them in the medical field.
Refusing to collaborate with the Turner family doesn’t mean the Spears family won’t have the Smith family, the Trump family, the Brown family, or any other family eagerly seeking to collaborate with them.
But the Turner family is different.
Losing the opportunity to partner with the Spears family, an extremely high-quality collaborator, will impact their This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
future development plans for the next few years. They might even have to completely rethink their blueprint.
The cost of this loss is enormous.
Tory’s firm stance stems from his clear understanding of the pros and cons involved.
He has seized upon the vulnerability of Alexander’s patriarch and launched precise attacks that force him to make a
painful choice between the family’s development and his granddaughter.
From the beginning until now, Alexander’s patriarch has maintained a stern expression, exuding an aura of gloom.
Tension fills the air.
Just at this critical moment, a mobile phone ringtone breaks the silence.
Natalie is startled by the sound and instinctively searches for its source.
Who would be so thoughtless as to have their phone ringing so loudly at such a crucial time? It’s utterly tactless.
Her gaze sweeps across everyone present, attempting to identify the source of that jarring ringtone.
Yet, after scanning the room, she sees no trace of the phone.
Perplexed, Natalie is nudged by a servant next to her.
“Miss, it’s your phone.”
The servant holds out a phone that is buzzing loudly, and lo and behold, it’s her own phone,
Suddenly, all eyes are on Natalie, She feels embarrassed and wishes she could find a hole to hide in.
After searching all around, could it really be her own phone?
Natalie awkwardly forces a smile and quickly retrieves her phone from the servant.
The ringtone itself isn’t particularly loud, but in this rigid and awkward atmosphere, it amplifies infinitely.
Perhaps due to a system update, Natalie has never heard this ringtone before, so she didn’t immediately recognize it
as her own phone.
“Natalie, who’s calling you?”
Adam’s patriarch, seated nearby, asks with a caring tone.
“Oh… Let me check…”

Natalie takes the phone and lowers her head to glance at the caller ID.
The words shine brightly Julian.
“If it’s urgent, you can go outside to take the call,” Adam’s patriarch’s voice is gentle and understanding.
But the moment Natalie sees that name, she blurts out without hesitation, “Not urgent, not urgent. It’s not urgent at all. I’ll call back later.”
Natalie raises an eyebrow. Without giving it much thought, she presses the end-call button.
While hanging up, she can’t help but complain. “Julian really knows how to pick his timing…”
On the other end of the call, Julian sits on a sofa, furrowing his brows as he looks at the disconnected phone.
It was Natalie who called first, but Niki fainted suddenly at that time, so he missed the call.
Now that he has some free time, he wants to call back and ask her what she wanted to say.
But unexpectedly… Natalie actually hung up the phone?
Julian’s face turned ugly.
She called first, he called back, and she hung up? Playing games with him, huh?
Julian threw his phone on the couch, instantly feeling irritated.
On the Spears family’s side, when Adam saw Natalie hanging up the phone directly, he didn’t pay attention to his granddaughter’s phone screen, thinking it was an unimportant call.
“It’s fine, as long as it’s not urgent. The ringtone sounded urgent, so I thought it was something important.” Said Adam.
Natalie waved her hand repeatedly, “It’s not important at all.”
Especially in this occasion, the call became even less important.
“Have you made your decision?” Tory’s gaze shifted back from Natalie to Alexander.
Alexander’s legs seemed nailed to the ground, and his face seemed frozen. He remained silent, his melancholy almost dripping with water,

Seeing that Alexander didn’t answer, Tory wasn’t in a hurry.
He assumed a leisurely posture, sat down, savored a few sips of porridge, and then stood up to pick a few side dishes for Natalie, serving Adam a bowl of silver ear fungus soup.
“The porridge tastes good. It seems the newly hired chef in the kitchen is quite skilled.”
Tory leisurely commented.
The more relaxed he appeared, the uglier Alexander’s expression became.
In the end, Alexander flicked his sleeve and was about to leave with a stern face.
“Hey, hey, hey…”
“Grandpa, where are you going? Why are you leaving without saying a word?” Tory stood up and signaled the bodyguard at the door to stop him.
“You still haven’t made it clear whether you’ll return it or not… and you’re leaving just like that. Isn’t that a bit rude?”
Alexander, pressured by Tory, had no choice left.
“I’ll go home and fetch Lara. I’ll personally bring her to apologize to Natalie.”
“Now, the Spears family should be satisfied, right?”
The man compromised and said this with a distinctly uncomfortable expression on his face.
Living to this age, he had never compromised like this before…
