The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 97

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 97

Chapter 97 

Edward’s eyes widened, then he pulled his lips into a mocking 

smile. 

“Now you’re just being unreasonable.” 

He slowly and deliberately adjusted his cuffs. “Business is war. 

Survival of the fittest is the law of nature. The Mosley Group 

was poorly managed and its capital chain broke. What does 

that have to do with me?” 

Madeleine rolled her eyes so hard they nearly flew out of her 

head, then decisively held out her hand to him. 

“Then pay up.” 

Edward’s expression froze. He was so surprised he thought 

he’d misheard. 

“What did you say?” 

“I said, pay up!” 

Madeleine raised her voice. “You climbed up by stepping on my family, and once you got to the top, you kicked us away. Mr. 

Chapter 97 

Carroll, you’ve forgotten where you came from.” 

Edward’s gaze turned cold, and his long fingers secretly 

clenched into a fist. 

No one had ever dared to speak to him like that before. 

Madeleine was the first. 

“I think you’ve really gone crazy from being poor!” 

Madeleine didn’t get angry. She just gave him a sweet smile. 

“That’s right, I’m broke as a joke. That’s why I’m here to collect a 

debt from Mr. Carroll. With such a big business, Mr. Carroll 

shouldn’t be short on this little bit of cash, right?” 

Edward narrowed his eyes, his gaze lingering on her for a few 

seconds, as if trying to decide if she was serious or just 

messing with him. 

After a moment, he let out a low, dangerous laugh. 

“Well, well, Madeleine. You’ve grown a spine.” 

He took out his phone and found Madeleine’s Facebook 

contact in his block list. 

The first transfer failed. His phone showed that she wasn’t his 

Chapter 97 

friend. 

“You’re messing with me! 

?” 

Madeleine slapped her forehead. 

“Oh, my bad. I blocked you and forgot to unblock you. Hold on.” 

She said the heart–stabbing words with perfect politeness as 

she pulled her phone out of her expensive handbag. 

Edward had sharp eyes and immediately saw a photo of her and 

Roderick at an amusement park behind Madeleine’s clear 

phone case. She was on her tiptoes, putting something on 

Roderick, smiling sweetly. 

His eyes turned cold, and Edward pressed his phone a little 

harder. 

“Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands…” 

Madeleine stared at the transferred amount and carefully 

counted it twice. 

“Twenty million. Don’t come to me with this sob story again!”

Madeleine kept her head down, staring at the screen. After a 

long moment, she squeezed out, “This isn’t even as much as 

my husband gives me for an allowance.” 

Of course, Edward didn’t believe that. He just figured Madeleine 

was suppressing her glee to save face. 

Madeleine took the money with no intention of staying longer, 

but as she turned to leave, Edward yanked her back. 

He sneered, “Don’t tell me Roderick’s going under, so he sent 

you to ask me for money.” 

“Huh?” 

Madeleine really wished Bradley Kline were here right now, so 

he could come and fix Edward’s brain. 

“I heard Roderick isn’t even bidding on the North City Science 

Park project. Is he out of money?” 

“Or… is he scared?” 

At that, Madeleine’s expression changed drastically, as if someone had just stepped on her tail. 

Her eyes flinched, but she quickly composed herself and 

Chapter 97 

retorted. 

“Wh–what nonsense are you talking about? Our family’s 

company is doing fine.” 

Her gaze shifted. “Roderick said he’s not bidding on that project 

because… because he doesn’t think it’s a good one.” 

A smirk formed on Edward’s lips as he stared intently at 

Madeleine’s changing expression. 

So flustered? 

Looks like he guessed right. 

That Roderick fellow would never give up so easily. He was just 

putting up a smokescreen. 

Making everyone think he’d given up on that juicy prize, letting 

them lower their guard before he delivers the fatal blow. 

Too bad this stupid woman exposed him. 

Edward suddenly let her go, stepping back as if he’d been 

burned. He dusted off his cuffs and resumed his high–and- 

mighty attitude. 

Not bothering to say another word to Madeleine, Edward turned

and walked straight away. 

It wasn’t until he was far away and his figure had vanished from 

her sight that the panicked look on Madeleine’s face 

disappeared, replaced by a shrewd, triumphant expression. 

“Nailed it~” 

Celebrating under her breath, Madeleine excitedly lifted the 

wine glass to her lips. 

Just as her lips touched the glass, a large hand reached around 

from behind and snatched it away. 

Roderick’s face was dark. “I can’t take my eyes off you for a 

second, Madeleine. Didn’t I tell you not to drink?” 

ps: Here’s a chapter to tide you over, the rest will come tonight, 

hehe. 

Caught in the act, Madeleine’s embarrassed expression froze. 

She put on a pitiful face, “I just want a taste.” 

“Not even a taste.”
