The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318 Kashton’s

Teacher

The story of Calvert being poisoned and taken to the hospital had already spread like wildfire, yet not one

person from any of the other families had come by to see him.

Under normal conditions, the mere rumor of Calvert falling ill would have brought a crowd to his doorstep, all

armed with gifts and well–wishes.

This time, though, it was different. Everyone was sitting back, waiting to see how the story would end.

If Calvert recovered, they’d pretend they were never absent. But if he died, there was no guarantee the

Marshall family would still be standing tomorrow.

And it wasn’t just the outsiders keeping their distance. Even within the Marshall family, only a few had shown

There was no way to know if someone had already formed secret alliances with other families and was simply biding their time, waiting for the right chance to seize control.

Lucien understood this all too well. He had realized Higgs was nowhere in sight today, but with his grandfather

clinging to life in a hospital bed, he couldn’t afford to worry about whatever schemes Higgs might be up to.

“Doctors, hear me out,” said Lucien, his voice unwavering. “Every d grandfather, and the Marshall family will sponsor you through Ilasa Medical Acuciny–every step, fully covered.”

Lucien was out of options, and this was all he had left to offer.

Ilasa Medical Academy.

Those words alone were enough to send a jolt through the room. It was the crown jewel of medical training- most wouldn’t even dream of getting in.

Kashton and the rest of the medical team were taken aback by Lucien’s proposal. Not a single one among them.

For doctors, this wasn’t just a career move–it was a once–in–a–lifetime miracle.

Not even the Marshall family tossed out offers like that lightly.

Lucien’s desperation practically screamed from every word.

Off to the side, Leon clenched his jaw. He was itching to speak, to stop Lucien from throwing away their resources like that. But one hard glare from Lucien shut him up fast.

Still, the bitterness didn’t leave him. Deep down, he seethed, already planning how he’d teach Lucien a lesson

He was certain it wouldn’t be long before the family belonged to them.

“That offer is unbelievable,” said one of the doctors, struggling to stay composed. “We all want it. No one here’s pretending otherwise. But the poison… we’ve never seen anything like it.”

The doctors traded hesitant glances. Naturally, the chance to study at Ilasa Medical Academy was something

they all wanted.

But none of them had the slightest clue how to cure a poison they’d never encountered before.

“Are you telling me there’s truly nothing you can do?” Lucien collapsed into a chair, his tone thick with

hopelessness. Was there truly no way to rescue his grandfather?

“I have an idea!” Kashton exclaimed suddenly.

“Dr. Truman, are you serious?” Lucien, previously overwhelmed by despair, quickly regained his focus. “Didn’t

you just say it was impossible?”

All eyes in the room, from the doctors to the Marshall family, turned to Kashton in confusion and disbelief.

Moments before, Kashton had declared all hope was lost. Yet now, following Lucien’s offer of a reward, he

seemed to have a solution.

“Please don’t look at me like that,” Kashton begged, a touch of awkwardness in his voice. “I don’t actually have
