Embracing Wealth: The Exceptional Raymond Lawson Chapter 28
At that moment Dahlia’s vision started blurring even more, her body swaying unsteadily as she struggled to stay conscious. The alcohol Jefferson had forced her to drink was taking its full effect, her limbs feeling heavy, her movements sluggish. She tried to push him away as he wrapped an arm around her waist, leading her toward another private lounge opposite them, but her strength was failing her. “S-Stop…” she slurred, her hands weakly pressing against his chest. Jefferson chuckled, his grip tightening as he leaned in, his breath hot against her ear. “Stop? You could’ve walked away earlier, sweetheart. But you stayed. You drank. And now…” He smirked. “You’re mine.” Dahlia’s blood boiled, but her body refused to listen. No. Not like this. With the last bit of strength she had left, she swung her arm, trying to slap him. Jefferson’s face darkened instantly. With one swift motion, he backhanded her across the face. Dahlia gasped, her head snapping to the side. Her vision spun

Raymond’s gaze remained cold as Deborah’s words sank in. Let it go? He wasn’t the type to let things slide, especially when men like Jefferson thought they could do whatever they pleased without consequences.And yet, as soon as Jefferson saw Raymond’s hesitation, he smirked.Arrogance surged through him like a drug, fueling his delusions of control.Straightening himself despite his bruised pride, Jefferson brushed off his suit, adjusted his tie, and sneered.“See? You’re smarter than you look,” he said smugly. “But I don’t think you fully understand who you just messed with.”At that moment his sharp gaze locked onto Raymond, and suddenly, he took a slow step forward.“Since you like playing the hero,” Jefferson continued, his voice dripping with mockery, “I’ll give you one last chance to learn your place.”His hand slipped inside his suit jacket, and in one swift motion—Click.A gun was aimed directly at Raymond’s head.Immediately the room went dead silent.Deborah gasped, her ha

At that moment the air in the VIP room was thick with tension.Vincent took a slow, measured step forward, his sharp gaze fixed on Jefferson, whose hand still gripped the gun, pointed directly at Raymond.“Drop the gun.” Vincent ordered, his voice calm but laced with authority.But Jefferson didn’t move.His jaw clenched, his pride refusing to let him be seen as weak. His father had always told him—power isn’t given, it’s taken.And tonight, he had been humiliated—in front of Dahlia, in front of his men, and worst of all, by a nobody like Raymond.His fingers twitched slightly against the trigger. He wasn’t going to let this go.A slow smirk curled on his lips as he straightened his posture, meeting Vincent’s gaze head-on.“Do you know who my father is?” Jefferson said, his voice dripping with arrogance. “Do you think this is a wise decision, Mr. Mayor?”Vincent’s face remained unreadable, but the men behind him stiffened.Jefferson took it as a sign to push further.“My father has c

The air was cool and crisp, a stark contrast to the suffocating tension of the VIP room they had just escaped.At that moment Dahlia’s head throbbed, a dull pain pulsing at her temple as she slowly regained consciousness.Her body felt weak, her limbs slightly heavy from the alcohol forced into her system. She blinked slowly, her vision adjusting to the dim lighting of the unfamiliar space.Then, her gaze landed on him.Raymond.He stood a few feet away, his posture relaxed yet unreadable, as if none of what happened had affected him in the slightest. His sharp eyes, calm and impassive, flickered toward her the moment she stirred.At that moment Dahlia’s chest tightened, her emotions immediately conflicting.What was he doing here?Her mind raced as fragments of memories flooded back—the dinner with Jefferson, the endless drinks, the feeling of being trapped.Then, the slap.Her stomach clenched as she remembered the impact, the dizziness, the moment her body had given out.But… how d

Hearing this, Dahlia nodded slowly. The reasoning made sense.As for Raymond? He wasn’t even worth considering—he wouldn’t last ten seconds against Jefferson, much less have the means to call for help.And the Mayor? Why would someone as powerful as him go out of his way for her?No, the only logical explanation was Caleb.Just as that thought settled in, the door swung open, and Caleb stepped inside.His eyes swept across the room, but the moment his gaze landed on Dahlia, seated there, unharmed— immediately his body stiffened.His heartbeat skipped.seeing she was fine?This wasn’t right, By now, she should have been terrified, vulnerable.Instead, she looked… relieved.And Jefferson?Where was Jefferson?Before he could even piece together his thoughts, Dahlia and Deborah rushed forward.“Caleb!” Dahlia breathed, her voice filled with relief.Caleb barely had time to mask his expression before Dahlia placed a grateful hand over her chest, her tone gentle.“You actually went to the

At that moment Raymond let out a short, cold laugh.“Thank him?” His voice was unimpressed. “For what?”Dahlia’s eyes narrowed slightly. “For saving your life, Raymond.”Raymond met her gaze, completely unbothered. “He didn’t do anything.”The words immediately soured the air.Deborah’s jaw dropped in disgust. “Are you serious?!”Caleb put on a patient, understanding look, shaking his head as if Raymond was simply too ignorant to understand the favor he had received.Dahlia, however, wasn’t as patient.She took a slow step forward, her eyes sharp.“This is exactly why you never grow, Raymond,” she said, her tone cold and unforgiving. “This arrogance. This refusal to acknowledge when someone has helped you.”Raymond’s expression remained indifferent, but she continued, undeterred.“You’re always acting like you don’t need anyone,” Dahlia continued, her gaze piercing. “But look at you. You’re still struggling, still in the same place, because you refuse to accept reality. This is why yo

The atmosphere in the restaurant remained heavy even after Dahlia’s departure.The night should have ended there, but as Raymond stepped out of the restaurant, he found himself under the quiet gaze of another woman.Malisa.She stood near the entrance, her arms crossed over her chest, her expression unreadable beneath the glow of the lights.Unlike Dahlia’s fiery temperament, Malisa always carried a certain elegance, yet tonight, there was a flicker of something else in her gaze—concern.As Raymond approached, she tilted her head slightly, studying him.“Are you alright?” she finally asked, her voice calm.At that moment Raymond stopped beside her, his gaze flickering toward the street. He didn’t answer immediately.He had never been the type to explain himself—especially not about things that weren’t worth discussing.After a beat, he let out a low hum. “Why wouldn’t I be?”Then Malisa sighed, clearly not satisfied with the response.She knew better than to expect more from Raymond.

Malisa’s smirk lingered for only a moment before she lost all interest in Waylon.He was a nuisance, a man who had spent far too long hovering in her space, pretending that her rejections meant nothing.And now, with her grandfather’s health restored, he no longer had an excuse to keep pushing.She had no reason to waste another second on him.Turning smoothly, she flicked a dismissive glance at Raymond.Without sparing him another glance, she turned to Raymond.“Let’s go,” she said simply.Raymond, who had been watching the exchange with quiet amusement, didn’t protest.Then without hesitation, they walked away, leaving Waylon standing alone, his once-confident expression darkening with every step they took.At that moment The sound of their footsteps faded into the distance.And when they were gone—The mask finally slipped.Waylon’s smile vanished, his jaw tightening as he turned toward his subordinates, standing closer to him“Find out everything about that man,” he ordered, his v

The weight of Dr. Damien’s words sank heavily into the room.At that moment Vincent felt his chest tighten, his thoughts spinning as he replayed the scene from earlier.A healer capable of performing such an advanced acupuncture technique, someone who had already saved Malisa’s grandfather, someone who had been standing in this very house just moments ago—Immediately his eyes widened.It was Raymond.At that moment Vincent turned slowly, his face dark with anger.His gaze landed on his son first.John, who had been so smug earlier, looked visibly shaken, his confidence crumbling under the realization of what they had done.“John,” Vincent’s voice was low, controlled—but dangerous. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done?”Then Vincent swallowed, but before he could answer—“You mocked him,” Vincent continued, his voice sharp like a blade. “You ran your mouth and laughed at the one man who could have saved your grandmother.”John flinched. “I—”“Enough!”At that moment Vincent’s wife s

At that moment the tension in the grand living room of the estate was thick enough to cut with a knife.Raymond stood calmly, his posture unbothered, while John, Vincent’s son, leaned back against a nearby chair, his arms crossed, his expression filled with mockery.“You expect us to believe that you—some random nobody—have medical skills that surpass some of the best doctors in the country?” John scoffed, shaking his head. “This is a joke.”Beside him, Vincent’s wife, an elegant woman in her fifties, sat with her hands delicately folded on her lap. Her gaze toward Raymond was completely indifferent, her disbelief evident.“This young man is the so-called expert you brought?” she asked, turning to Malisa with a raised brow. “Malisa, dear, I know you mean well, but don’t be naive. Medicine isn’t something that can be learned overnight.”Hearing their words' Malisa expression darkened slightly.Vincent smirked, tilting his head. “Let me guess—this guy managed to trick Malisa with a few

A young man stood near the entrance, his arms crossed, an air of self-importance surrounding him.His gaze immediately locked onto Malisa, his expression neutral at first—but the moment he saw Raymond, his lips curled into a smirk.“So, this is the miracle doctor you brought?” his voice carried an obvious hint of skepticism.At that moment Malisa ignored his mocking tone and introduced him. “This is John, Vincent’s son.”John’s gaze swept over Raymond, his eyes filled with disbelief.“This is a joke, right?” he said, chuckling under his breath. “This guy doesn’t even look like a doctor. How old is he? Twenty? And you expect my father to entrust my grandmother’s life to someone like him?”However Malisa’s expression didn’t waver. “Raymond’s medical skills are real,” she said calmly.John scoffed. “Right. Because you’ve seen him operate on someone before?”Malisa fell silent for a moment.She hadn’t.She had seen the results with her own eyes—her grandfather had recovered, his illness
