Alex added coolly, "I just happened to see him trying to 'save' someone on the street the other day. When people started doubting if he knew what he was doing, he started yelling that he was the future son-in-law of the great Dawson family, and questioning his skills was like insulting the entire Dawson family."
"What? That absolute bastard!"
Ashley, who had been leading the way, stopped dead and practically snarled, her teeth clenched. "That damned Eric! The Dawson family bent over backwards to protect him, and this is how he repays us? Not only is he ungrateful, he's actually dragging our family name through the mud, using it to show off and probably scam people!"
Then, a sudden worry flickered across her face. "Wait... that patient he was 'saving'... did they... make it?" she asked, almost afraid to hear the answer.
Alex just shook his head, delivering the lie with perfect smoothness. "Nope. Died."
