While they were on their way to the Castillo group Thora informed Ansel about the party she attended.Though she didn't think of it as suspicious, she wondered why Ansel was saying she was drugged.She had only drank water and nothing else so how could that be possible?The couple soon reached the Castillo group and Thora bid Ansel a casual farewell before heading off to her office.Ansel, on the other hand, made his way towards the medical department, his footsteps clicking on the ground as he pushed the door open. Smith, who was busy chatting with some of the new doctors, immediately paused his conversation.His eyes widening in amazement, he ran to meet Ansel."You are indeed the magic doctor." Smith pulled Ansel in for a brotherly hug, he was beyond shocked to see Ansel in one piece.He had assumed that Ansel would be in a wheelchair but he was looking more healthier than the sick patients in the medical department.Smith's heart burst with joy and for a second, he forgot that th

The speech continued with grandfather talking about his son-in-law and giving praises.Meanwhile, the guests were left in a state of bewilderment, unable to place the mysterious ‘Ansel’ that grandfather Kian kept mentioning. They glanced around, trying to suss out any information from their fellow attendees, but to no avail. All guests were on the edge of their seats, curious as to who could possibly have earned such high praise from the Castillo family patriarch. On the surface, they projected an air of decorum, but their real feelings were filled with envy.The fact that a stranger, rather than one of their own sons had secured a place in the esteemed Castillo family stirred up jealousy.In the world of high society and business, arranged marriages were seen as a strategic way to forge alliances and ensure the continued success of both families.By joining forces through marriage, two families could combine their resources and influence, ensuring that neither would ever have to s

"Grandfather, you seem so happy to share the news. " Chris asked with excitement, ignoring the salty taste in his mouth.He immediately wondered if grandfather had finally decided to make him manage all of the Castillo business across the country.Everyone also wanted to hear the news.They were eager to know what grandfather Kian had to say.Ansel looked up from his plate, he was also part of the family so it was normal for him to also join in the conversation."I see that you've managed to keep yourself out of trouble while I've been gone, Chris," Grandfather Kian said with an amused smile. For the first time in a while, he hadn't heard the news of Chris getting drunk in different restaurants."Thank you grandfather." As Chris acknowledged his grandfather's words, the corners of his lips curved upwards. His eyes gleamed with pride as he lifted his gaze to meet his grandfather’s approving eyes. This was one of the rare moments when grandfather showered praises on him.The hatred he

"Well…I am Ansel, the CEO of L's company. You made mention of us being friends. We aren't friends and we will never be." Ansel said, resting his hands causally in his pants pocket.Dan Kings was amazed by Ansel's boldness, he had never gotten the chance to meet the CEO of the L's company and so he wondered if Ansel was able to see through his lies.As Dan Kings scrutinized Ansel, he felt a wave of relief wash over him. Though the young man standing before him exuded confidence and authority, he did not match the mental image Dan had of the L company's CEO. Dan Kings' smirk deepened as he raised an eyebrow, his words oozing with condescension.“Well, well, Ansel, if you were me, would you really believe that a man dressed in a cheap suit and a tacky watch, with hair that looks like it’s been styled by a blind barber, could actually be the CEO of a company like L? You might as well try selling me a bridge while you're at it, Ansel.”Ansel refused to let Dan Kings' taunts get under his

Kim excused herself and left the office.As Ansel was also about to leave the office after telling Thora that her water was safe for use when he heard Thora's voice and stopped.He stopped walking and turned to face her.She asked him to sit down, so he sat across from her and leaned back in his chair. Checking the water for purity without any equipment had been exhausting for Ansel. He had to rely solely on his own senses and knowledge, making the task more time-consuming.The effort he had put in to ensure that Thora was not being poisoned had left him mentally drained.He had used his inner energy and the system had also granted him something called the Hafling eyes.It was now easier for him to see things that humans wouldn't be able to see without a microscope.He had tested this skill in the restroom but it turned out that it also exhausted most of Qi.Ansel let out a small yawn, but he became instantly alert when he saw Thora's pale skin and the way her eyes were fixed on him.
