Chapter 134: Engagement Cannot Be Cancelled

In just an hour, the news of Brandon Piers' failed heart surgery spread like wildfire.

Ruby Green learned of it and looked extremely upset. "The operation failed? Is he dead yet?"

"Probably not, but he likely won't live long." Jackson Taylor cautiously replied. Even though he was Ruby's uncle, he had been relying on Ruby and her mother for the past few years. Therefore, he was quite solicitous as he knew how important this alliance with the Piers was to Ruby.

"Useless! Wasn't the surgery performed by Dean Foster? Why did it fail? And why would he choose to have surgery before the engagement?" Ruby spat out her frustration.

Jackson Taylor quickly glanced outside the ward and closed the door. "Ruby, be cautious with your words," he warned.
