Chapter 422: Chapter 2 My Answer Is No

"Mo Meige," Klein began, using Mei Ge’s Chinese name instead of her English name Mel, "do you know what your words just now will bring upon yourself?"

Virgil also hurriedly started playing the good cop at this moment, "Mel! The department head has already been magnanimous toward you many times! Your uncle is a major member of the Daren Rebel Party, and you should have been held accountable! You are now given the chance to show that you have nothing to do with the rebel party and to prove your loyalty to the family. You can still have a great future in the hospital! As for George... that marriage is no longer possible!"

Klein had always been extremely dissatisfied with Mei Ge as a prospective daughter-in-law, even before her uncle was exposed as a member of the Daren Rebel Party.

She was perceived as too selfish by nature, mediocre in medical skills, often acting superior in the hospital due to her background, which had long been a source of irritation for him. He only tolerated her in order to win Kafka Delin for his own ends, which would be a major support for George’s future.

A parent’s love for their child leads to far-sighted planning. Virgil, a proficient brother-in-law, posed a potential threat to Klein’s position as the future vice president when power was to shift in the next century, the 22nd century. Therefore, he had to ensure his own wings were fully feathered, securing control over the hospital’s power for his lineage rather than Lailiya’s. The downfall of the Dalen Family was predestined to kickstart internal strife within the Faust Family.

Klein could not tolerate someone with blood ties to the rebel party marrying into his lineage, affecting his son George’s future. It was similar to his arranging for his two daughters to marry the Melroll twins.

Yet Mo Meige’s gaze remained resolute.

"I have made my stance very clear. The thing I detest most is someone forcing me to do something and then insisting it’s for my own good. If I think it’s not good for me, I will definitely say no!"

Mo Meige was fully aware that her words just sentenced her to the next three nights on morgue duty. It also meant that her life was likely to start counting down.

She had also thought, with her character, she would eventually compromise. But watching Klein and Virgil play good cop, bad cop, and even forcing her to implant a cursed object into her uncle’s body!

Destiny dictates, the impracticable cannot be forced, a wise man adapts to circumstances... such phrases never existed in Mo Meige’s vocabulary. She loved to follow her heart, to force the unfeasible into reality! Just like a female protagonist in a martial arts novel who, when told "it can’t be forced," would retort, "I will force it anyway!"

"Fine. Very well, you may go now."

Mo Meige nodded and left the department head’s office.

Klein picked up the glass in front of him and started pouring tequila into it.

"Klein..."

"Does that girl really think I wouldn’t dare kill her?" Klein was very displeased at this moment.

A person of immense power least likes to be defied. Much like how a reader who enjoys uplifting stories likes to see the villains bowing and scraping when the hero exerts his strength. If the villains remain unyielding in the face of the hero, it’s certainly very unsatisfying.

Especially Klein, who belonged to the "second generation." Not having gone through the path to power like the first generation, he was accustomed to the worship and respect of countless people from birth. Only his father, the Vice President Mephisto, could make him bow his head.

Virgil then advised, "Let it be, we can’t force her if she doesn’t agree. Anyway, once Milan Dailun is dead, all those on the side of the Daren Rebel Party will abandon their delusions and have no other choice but to remain loyal to the Faust Family."

"It seems that’s the only way."

Klein, after all, was the heir to the family, and he understood that being impulsive now was meaningless. In the end, suppressing methods could never be as thorough as exterminating every bloodline of the Darren Family.

"The downfall of the Darren Family was entirely self-inflicted. If it wasn’t for Damon Dailun heeding Rosa Medel’s instigation, insisting on investigating the dean, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a plight."

At that moment, Virgil suddenly thought of something and asked, "As for George himself, what does he wish?"

"He? His wishes don’t matter." Klein hadn’t even considered this question before: "I’ve now transferred him to the emergency department. He and Mel hardly ever see each other."

"I see."

Since he said wishes didn’t matter, it meant George was dissatisfied with the decision to dissolve the engagement. Virgil knew George; in the entire Faust Family, George was the only one who took his aunt Alucia seriously, which meant his personality was somewhat similar to Alucia’s in certain aspects.

But just like Alucia and Dai Wei’s marriage could not be altered by their personal wishes, George and Mel’s engagement was inevitably going to be dissolved, without any room for negotiation.

"So... she now faces nothing but a dead end."

Frequently arranging for Mei Ge to work night shifts in the morgue would naturally lead to an obvious outcome. Even seasoned doctors would avoid the mortuary if possible, let alone an ordinary Paranormal Doctor.

Because of this, neither Klein nor Virgil could have ever anticipated that Mei Ge would dare to defy them with her life at stake. If she had been a loyal supporter of the Daren Rebel Party, it might have been one thing, but she had no allegiance to the Dalen Family, so why should she be buried alongside them?

"If she really dies next, should we arrange for her to see George one last time? After all, they have been engaged for three years," Virgil suggested. "It would also make us look more magnanimous. Even the wishes of a death row inmate can be granted, right?"

"What do you mean by that?" Klein looked at Virgil discontentedly: "When you were killing members of the Dalen Family, I didn’t see such a strong glow of humanitarianism in you."

The words were filled with sarcasm, and how could Virgil not understand the real meaning behind them.

The conflict between Klein and Virgil had already started to become semi-public.

For Klein, Virgil was very capable, but too capable was tantamount to overshadowing the master. This directly resulted in Lailiya having the qualifications to compete with him for the future position of deputy dean.

This touched on Klein’s core interests. He could not accept this under any circumstances.

"Virgil," Klein reminded him, "you’re not to say any unnecessary words to George, not a single word... not even one! Do you understand?"

Mei Ge walked down the hospital corridor, the passing doctors and nurses all gave her looks of scorn and ridicule.

Everyone knew that her engagement to George Faust was in name only. The only reason Klein hadn’t publicly broken off the engagement was to avoid being labeled an oath-breaker.
