Diana lived downtown. Isaac propped her up, staggering, as they entered the residential area.The guard watched them and sighed, shaking his head. “Getting drunk in broad daylight. What have youngsters these days come to?”After entering the house and shutting the door, Diana turned around suddenly and clung onto Isaac, putting her arms around his neck. Her breath was warm, and her eyes lost their focus. She asked, “Wh—Why did you say I was your sister? Do I look like your sister?”Her body was soft and warm. Isaac frowned and tried to push her away, but Diana clung on tighter. “What other reasons could I have used to help you out, then?”“Hm…Why did you tell your girlfriend I caught those people when you were the one who did it? She doesn’t believe in your abilities, does she?”When Isaac did not respond, Diana burst out laughing.“Car—Carry me into the room. I’m tired,” muttered Diana. She snuggled up to Isaac.Isaac bent his body slightly and lifted her by her waist, carrying
Horace put down his cup; his eyes had a dangerous glint as he said, “Isaac Garten is purely despicable. It’s a shame that Mr. Bleu is still recovering; Isaac won’t be roaming freely otherwise.“Don’t worry, Mr. Kenne. I know of a few excellent ancient martial artists who are also planning something against him.” Warwick smirked. He decided to let Horace know about this piece of information.It was then that the door opened. A man in a suit darted in, looking frantic. “Boss, we have bad news.”“What made you lose your composure? Don’t you notice I have a guest?” Horace scolded.“Mr. Kenne Jr. is now in the hospital—he’s in a critical condition.” The man sobbed.Horace’s heart skipped a beat; his hair stood on the ends. He asked in disbelief, “What did you say? Why is Willy in the hospital? What the hell happened?”“Isaac Garten and his men went to Golden Boy Hotel and forced tons of liquor on Mr. Kenne Jr. His stomach was bleeding by the time he got there.”“What the hell? It’s t
“D—Doctor, how are they so calm after you yelled at them?” Emily was confused and asked softly.Harry waved nonchalantly. “As long as I can cure them, why does it matter?”Emily was speechless.In the clinic, two other middle-aged men were wearing the same cloaks. They were busy.Harry brought Mrs. Danson right into a treatment room. Emily, following behind, asked, “Doctor, who is treating my mom? Should I refer to him?”Harry looked too young to be a doctor; he might be a nurse or a doctor-in-training.“What are you talking about? I am treating your mother. Those two are my trainees.” Harry rolled his eyes. Then, he did a thorough examination of Mrs. Danson.Harry frowned and sighed multiple times as Emily watched him, stunned. Soon, he looked up and told her, “Her condition is not too bad; she’ll just need to undergo treatment consistently.”“B—But, Doctor, my mom—”“Renal failure and uremia. In our line, we consider your mother’s condition a disruption in the natural healin
The uniformed personnel locked the front entrance. Emily was slightly nervous when she saw them leaving swiftly. How was her mother doing?A short while later, the door opened, and Harry waved at her. “Hey, darling. Your mother’s treatment is over. Remember to take her medicine.”Emily entered the clinic and saw that although her mother was still sitting in the wheelchair, her face was not as pale as before, and her eyes were sparkling.“Mom, how do you feel? You look much better.”“That young doctor had remarkable skills indeed. I don’t feel out of breath now, and I feel my energy coming back to me,” Mrs. Danson complimented.Emily was shocked; none of the hospitals they visited could show such results.After expressing their gratitude, Emily and her mother brought the prescription to the counter. The trainee started preparing their medicine but stopped midway, frowning as he went to the treatment room.Harry was smoking with his legs crossed. He had no patients now, and the cl
The grudge between Isaac and the Crowe family was not a secret among those who worked in Crowe Pharmaceuticals and Beacon Clinic. However, they never expected this young doctor, whom Mr. Crowe approved of, to be working for Isaac.Kenny was not the only one in shock; Emily was surprised too. However, she doubted that this shabby clinic could defeat Beacon Clinic, which had been operating for decades.Not only was Mr. Crowe a renowned doctor and highly influential in the medical line, but his son’s company, Crowe Pharmaceuticals, was one of the top three companies across Southland in this field. It was too absurd of an idea to try to wipe them out!“Heh, I see. I’ll take my leave then. You should figure your way out of this situation for now, though. Haha!” Kenny turned to leave. After a few steps, he paused and mocked, “Let me remind you. The person in charge of confiscating your clinic earlier was Knox Graham, Head of the Inspection Division. I’m going to get a drink with him now a
A few security guards lifted Knox on a stretcher to the entrance of Springview Clinic, but the front entrance was sealed and locked. Kenny went to the back entrance to find the door locked as well.Knox almost tore the sheets into pieces as he shrieked at the top of his lungs.“Open the door! Help us!” Kenny smacked the door.“Our teacher asks you to wait; he’s in the washroom.”For the love of God…Half an hour went by. Kenny could see the whites of Knox’s eyes and froth flowing from his mouth. He stomped his feet frantically and yelled, “Did you freaking get stuck in the toilet bowl? You’ve been in there for half an hour!”“Our teacher asks if you can unlock the door. He’s stuck inside.” The trainee laughed out loud—Harry was actually playing games on his phone with his legs crossed in the washroom.“K—Keys. I have the keys.” Knox was half-conscious as he pulled out two keys from his pocket.After unlocking the door, Kenny and the security guards dashed into the clinic, carry
It was Allegra’s first time hearing of acquiring five hundred acres of commercial land. She was in a dilemma as she watched her excited employees; there would be tough competition for a land of this size.Garth Properties was only in operation for less than a week. Could they acquire the land?One of her employees saw her expression and asked, “Ms. Booth, when we first joined the company, Mr. Garten promised us that we’d be part of the biggest project in Cloud City. You won’t give up, will you?”Another employee felt deceived. He promptly made his stand clear, “If you give up now, then there’s no point in us working here.” Allegra cursed Isaac silently. She drew a deep breath before looking up and said, “I’ll never give up. We’ll definitely walk the talk. Let’s start preparing the necessary documents and proposals; we’ll give it a try, no matter how.”Everyone pulled themselves together after hearing what Allegra said and started committing themselves to the project.Later in th
Emily instantly shut the door, but Dexter clutched the door firmly.Another man behind him kicked the door open with a bang.“Bitch! How dare you keep me out!” Dexter barged in furiously. His right arm was in a bandage.Three thugs came in after him.Dexter swiftly checked every corner of the house to ensure it was empty. Then, he walked up to Emily and slapped her hard, scolding, “Bitch! How dare you tell your lover to hit me! I’ll let you know that I take my revenge seriously!”Emily held her cheek, reddened and swollen after taking the slap. She was frightened. “Dexter, wh—what do you want?”Dexter lunged at her and grabbed her hair, staring at her as he smirked. “What do I want? I want my house back. You refused to let me have you and allowed someone else beat me up; now you and your mother will have to live like beggars.”“What are you doing? Dexter Fisher! How can you hit her?” Mrs. Danson roared as she shuffled out of her room, holding onto a walking stick.When she saw
