"Congrats on becoming single again, Alora." Tyson walked up to her.Florence quickly put the two cards on the table into her pocket, then said while beaming, "Why the long face, Alora? You're free to spread your wings and soar since you've gotten rid of that useless piece of shit. You should be happy." She turned to Tyson and said, "Stay for lunch, Mister Cox. I'll have someone prepare a feast, and let's get to know each other a little more. We'll be a family sooner or later, after all. Am I right?"Tyson smiled. They were both thinking the same thing.Alora sighed as she looked at the two of them. She did not bring Tyson home to tell her family about her relationship with him. Instead, it was intended to force Ashton to give up. She and Tyson were indeed a match made in heaven in terms of his social status, but she could not think of him that way at that moment."Mister Cox, Mom, I'm tired. I'm going to rest for a while. I won't be joining you for lunch," Alora said.Something th

Ashton's eyes widened in rage when the pendant got crushed.His mother gave him the pendant when he left his family. It was for him to give to the woman he loved when he met her in the future. That was because having the pendant proved she was Ashton's wife and the Levin family's daughter-in-law. There was only one pendant like this in the world, and its worth could not be measured in money."Smashed so easily? What kind of rubbish quality is this? Is it even worthy of being called a treasure? Mom, I think you've got it wrong." Howard was giggling and acting frivolously. Ashton was utterly enraged by his expression."You're dead meat!" Ashton grabbed his collar with such force that he nearly destroyed Howard's windpipe."Let go! What are you doing?" Howard was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. 'How did this son of a bitch get so strong?' he thought.If it were someone else, Ashton would not have spared him. However, that bastard was Alora's brother. Ashton forced him

Florence became nervous when she heard Alora wanted to call Ashton. She immediately smiled and said, "There is no need for that. I despise that jerk, but I am not irrational. I don't want to put you in a difficult situation since you've been together for so long. There is no need to contact him. It is enough for me that you and Mister Cox can live happily ever after. A couple of slaps are not a big deal. That is something I can live with."When Alora heard that, she felt terrible. Her mother had always been domineering and unreasonable. She would never suffer in silence and would always want to exact revenge on others, even if the loss was minor. It seemed like she had truly changed.Of course, Ashton had changed too. He became so unfamiliar to her. It was as if she did not know him at all.When Florence noticed her daughter was beginning to reconsider, she smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, Alora. I will be content if you do not get involved with that jerk again. Just go about

"I've been a doctor for 50 years. I have my pride. Since your family has asked me to treat these patients, it's only natural that they all should be in my charge. If I let a nobody like him take over my patients, it'll be a blot in my career that I can never eliminate. I hope you'll understand, Miss Lockwood." Morgan blocked the door. He would not allow Ashton to enter, no matter what.The old man's strange behavior amused Ashton, and he said, "Sir, I have a question for you. You feel that letting someone else take over the patients you can't help is a great humiliation. However, as a doctor, don't you think letting the patients you can't cure suffer to death is also humiliating?"Morgan was taken aback. He did not expect Ashton to be cunning and that his question would rob him of his words. "You are a bastard with a sharp tongue. Who are you to comment on the way I do things? Miss Lockwood, I need you to kick this shameless scammer out now. If not, I'll leave immediately, and I won'

"If Miss Lockwood feels that I did not cure these patients and decides not to trust me, I will have no objections to that. But to let this young man with no real-life experience cure these patients in my place is too much to ask from me. This is the kind of humiliation that I cannot stomach."Morgan Cook stood behind a middle-aged man and complained with a tone of grievance."Uncle Wilfred…""Kendra, is what Doctor Cook said true?" Wilfred Lockwood's tone was calm.Wilfred's aura was solemn, as he had been a powerful man for years. When Wilfred looked at them, they could not help but be intimidated.Furthermore, the Lockwoods had strict house rules. After being raised that way, Kendra would never dare challenge her elders."I don't think these patients can keep going for much longer, and I just—""Nonsense!" Wilfred interrupted her and said angrily, "What kind of man do you take Doctor Cook for? He is the pinnacle of the Edren medical community. If there was a patient that he co
