When Dr. Jacob and Caleb were still trying to understand the situation, they were already taken out by the butler outside the room.“Butler!” Caleb wanted to protest.Yet, the butler cut him off, “Young master, you better prepare what you will say to your father. He is already on his way here.”Caleb turned pale.Inside the room, Richard, without hesitation, cut away Jillian’s clothes, leaving her naked.This time, he didn’t ask for any permission from Julia anymore, as Jillian’s condition was already critical.He put Jillian in the bathtub and then took out nine acupuncture needles.As Richard flicked his hand, the needles seemed to find the points by themselves and landed on Jillian’s body with precision.The water in the bathtub turned visibly murky brown and foul-smelling at an alarming rate.It was as if the toxins from Jillian were rapidly being expelled from her body and neutralized by the chemicals in the bathtub.Richard pour another palm of ingredients into the bathtub.The
Previously, Aaron rushed to his mansion happily as he had just received the news that his daughter had finally been cured.He was grateful for Master Richard’s help and was already considering what gift to give as thanks.Yet, as soon as he reached home, the first thing he saw was his son audaciously yelling at the guard to hit the young master.Cold sweat broke out on Aaron's brow, and his heart seemed to freeze.The young master only needed to cough a bit, and the whole Windsor Group in Vantican would be replaced by others at his whim."You fool!" enraged with fear, he kicked Caleb to the ground.Meanwhile, the butler hastily rushed to Aaron to explain everything in a low voice.Julia and Dr. Jacob, who heard Aaron shouting, walked out of the room to check what had happened."Father, why kick me? It’s this man who showed disrespect to me…"Without a word, Aaron struck Caleb across the face before he could finish.Two of Caleb's teeth fell to the floor.Julia gasped in shock.This wa
“Father,” Jillian walked out of the room, and Aaron hastily rushed to her side. “Minnie, you are still unwell, rest first.”“It’s okay, Father,” Jillian smiled. “I’ve never felt so energetic like this for so long.”“Minnie,” Aaron felt truly joyful. “Come, let’s say thanks to your doctor.”Jillian stepped forward, blushing shyly. “Thank you for healing me.”“You’re welcome.”Aaron took out two sets of keys and respectfully handed them to Richard.One set was the key to the limited edition of the newest Sport car Bugatti La Voiture Noire, which was worth $ 20 million.The other set was the key to a mansion, which was worth $ 500 million.Richard had rejected them once, but now Aaron thought it was the right time.“This is a small token of thanks. I know it’s nothing much to you, but please accept it. I hope you don’t find it lacking.”Julia and Caleb were once again stunned by the scene.The amount was far beyond the usual consultation fee.And Aaron was showing an excessive level of
“Are you certain you want us to dine at your place, Sabrina?” Carter inquired.“Why don’t we consider Vantican First Restaurant instead? It’s on me.”“I appreciate it, but I’m really not feeling up to it. You know what’s been troubling me,” Sabrina sighed.“Don’t worry about it. My dad is already working his connections. He’ll inform me if there’s any positive news about Windsor Enterprise.”Carter moved closer, trying to putt an arm around her waist for comfort.All of a sudden, Laura let out a scream as if she’d seen a ghost.“Holy cow!”“What’s going on?” Sabrina rushed to Laura’s side.Carter dropped his arm and frowned.“I swear I just saw Richard in that luxury car that passed by. Am I seeing things?” Laura asked, staring at the car in disbelief.Or maybe it was just someone who resembled Richard?She wasn’t sure.“You must be joking!” Carter scoffed, shaking his head. “Didn’t you notice the license plate?”“But—”“That car clearly belongs to someone wealthy or significant.
Richard stepped into the store while Aaron waited by the entrance.As soon as Richard entered, the cold air greeted him, and the exquisite jewelry immediately caught his attention.The store was lavishly decorated, from the ceiling to the walls."Let’s choose the most expensive piece here for Sabrina," he thought, eyes sweeping over the glittering jewels."Would she prefer emerald, or diamonds?" he mused, his gaze drifting over the dazzling array of gems.Even the least expensive earrings at Elegance & Co were priced above $10,000, and Richard was certain Sabrina would be amazed.She would be thrilled to receive the gift, along with the invitation to the banquet.Meanwhile, at the other end of the store, a young woman was browsing jewelry, accompanied by a middle-aged man with a noticeable belly.The woman stood beside him, admiring the pieces in the display case."Timothy, baby, don’t you think I’d look stunning in these earrings?" she nudged the man. "Will you buy them for me, sweet
"Sir, please—" the sales representative attempted to intervene."You must remove this poor fool immediately! He’s ruining our shopping experience, and I won’t tolerate it," the man insisted.Bianca crossed her arms, watching the situation unfold with a smug expression, her head held high, exuding arrogance and confidence.The sales representative was caught in a difficult position.She didn’t want to choose sides.What could she do?If she followed the man’s orders, she’d be driving away a customer.Yet, she didn’t want to upset the old man either.She spoke into the intercom, saying, "Mr. John, we have a bit of a situation here. Could you come quickly, please?"Within a minute, a man with a stern expression appeared...John Brown, the store’s sales manager, had arrived."Mr. Timothy!"John exclaimed, immediately recognizing the middle-aged man, a regular customer.He bowed respectfully."It’s an honor, sir. How may I assist you?"The man pointed accusingly at the sales representative
Aaron was already aware of what had transpired before entering the store, and he was furious.How dare anyone show such disrespect to his Young Master and his daughter’s savior!If Richard blamed him for John’s incompetence, all the effort Aaron had put into building a good reputation and trying to earn Richard’s favor would be for nothing.Aaron felt an overwhelming urge to punish John—this useless troublemaker had only caused problems!He deserved to be dealt with harshly.With these thoughts in mind, Aaron immediately ordered his bodyguards to escort the middle-aged man and his arrogant mistress out of the store."I don’t ever want to see them in this store again!" Aaron warned.As John watched, the color drained from his face, and his eyes filled with fear.He looked like a terrified chicken as he cowered in a corner."Where is that incompetent manager? Come out here this instant!"John crawled out from where he had been hiding in the corner and fell flat on his knees."Sir, I—I’m
Once they were gone, Aaron turned to the sales representative and commanded, "Pack that necklace and bring it here. Hurry up.""Yes, Sir. I’ll do it right away," the sales representative responded, not daring to hesitate as she rushed to follow his orders.Meanwhile, Aaron leaned closer to Richard and whispered apologetically, "Please accept the necklace as a gift. It’s on the house, and I sincerely apologize for my staff’s behavior. I hope you’ll take it, so I can have some peace of mind tonight."After a brief pause, Richard nodded."Alright."Aaron sighed in relief when Richard accepted the gift.This either meant that Richard wasn’t angry with him anymore or that he had been forgiven.Phew! Thank goodness!The sales representative returned, holding the wrapped necklace.To everyone's surprise, instead of handing the package to Aaron, she respectfully presented it to Richard with a deep bow."Sir, is this to your satisfaction?" she asked, keeping her head lowered.Richard nodded as
