The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1079

Conrad glanced at his mentor, hesitating a bit before saying, "But these prescriptions might be a bit too strong."

The vice president set down the paper he was holding, his voice carrying authority without anger. "Since when did you become so cautious?"

Conrad lowered his gaze slightly, replying softly, "I'm just worried about any unexpected side effects."

"Even the Pharmacists’ Guild doesn't make miracle cures for everything. Surgeries can lead to infections. Do you think any medicine can guarantee zero adverse reactions? Do I really need to teach you that?" The vice president gave Conrad a sideways glance, speaking with a cool detachment.

"I guess I was overthinking it," Conrad admitted, lowering his head.

The vice president propped his elbow on the table, fingertips lightly massaging his temple. Suddenly recalling something, he looked up, "There's only a month left until this year's evaluation. You won't let me down again, right?"

Clenching his hands by his side, Conrad's eyes turned steely. "Don't worry, Master. I promise this year will be different. I'll definitely outperform Devon."

The vice president gave a slight nod, waiting a moment before adding, "Your talent is on par with Devon’s. Prepare well. If you hit any snags, don't hesitate to ask me."

"Got it," Conrad nodded. "I'll head out now."

The vice president waved him off.

The phone screen went dark suddenly, and Sophia paused, looking up with annoyance. "What’s your problem?"

Today, Conrad wasn't in the mood to argue. He crossed his legs and said, "There’s only a month left until the evaluation. Shouldn't you be focusing on your studies instead of gaming all day?"

"None of your business," Sophia sneered, putting her headphones back on, clearly uninterested in talking.

Conrad’s temper flared. He snatched her phone and tossed it onto the marble coffee table with a thud.

Sophia stayed frozen in her gaming pose for a moment before her fingers twitched. She looked up, her face expressionless, staring at Conrad.
