On the stage, wrinkles were clearly etched on Angelica's face as the woman looked at Stella in disbelief. Actually, Angelica knew who Stella was, but why did Stella recommend someone inexperienced?

Angelica stood up, not accepting the recommendation from Stella. "What do you mean, Miss Angelica? You're not really recommending him, are you?" she pointed at Brandon.

Stella smiled, remaining calm when Angelica's intimidating gaze was directed at her, and not just Angelica, but everyone in the room.

"As you heard, Miss Angelica, I'm recommending my friend named Brandon to try treating you and curing your illness."

Angelica looked shocked, that was truly the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard. How could someone inexperienced treat her? As she wanted to object to Stella's words again, suddenly Stella spoke up, "Don't worry, Miss Angelica, I would never recommend someone who would just waste your time." Stella tried to make Angelica believe her.

    Ariana could no longer stay still when she looked towards Angelica, who was now walking towards Brandon. Ariana didn't want that woman to be deceived by Brandon. "Sorry, Frans, it seems I can't let this go on anymore."Frans wanted to stop Ariana, but he was too slow. Ariana was now behind Angelica, who was talking with Brandon. "Excuse me, Miss Angelica," Ariana greeted her.Angelica turned around, frowning in confusion. "Yes, what is it?" she asked. Ariana glanced briefly at Brandon, then looked back at Angelica and nodded. "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Ariana, Miss. You may not know me because you rarely get involved in business." Ariana paused for a moment, trying to observe Brandon's expression which seemed anxious to her."So, what does that have to do with anything? I don't understand what you mean," Angelica said, looking annoyed that a rude young woman was trying to make small talk with her. Ariana sighed, then spoke arrogantly while pointing at Brandon's

    Currently, Brandon has entered a room believed to be Angelica's bedroom. The two of them entered the room followed by several people. Angelica, who was ready to perform the treatment, said, "Well, Brandon, you accept the condition I proposed, right? You'll not only go to prison, but you'll also have to be my slave for the rest of your life."Brandon smiled slightly, although the condition proposed by Angelica was excessive. However, he chose to agree after seeing the root cause of Angelica's frequent asthma attacks.Brandon calmly said, "Yes, don't worry, Miss Angelica. I won't run away. For the rest of my life, I'll be your slave if I fail to cure you."A satisfied smile appeared on Angelica's face. She was confident that the self-assured Brandon would fail. So far, no doctor had ever been able to cure her strange illness, let alone Brandon, who was just an ordinary man.When Ariana heard Angelica's condition, she was quite surprised but eventually felt pleased because soon Brandon

    "You shouldn't have to think too much, Mr. Richard," Ariana said after seeing Richard remain silent for quite a while. "Look, we don't hear any sound from inside, aren't you suspicious?" Ariana squinted her eyes, her provocation this time couldn't be denied."Miss Angelica would have screamed if something happened. So you don't need to suspect Brandon," Stella replied, unwilling to accept it. Ariana glared at Angelica and said, "Hey, Miss Stella! I used to be Brandon's ex-fiancée, I know who he is, do you know Brandon better than I do?"Their argument didn't stop there, they exchanged sharp looks and harsh words. Meanwhile, Richard, who was currently sitting in a chair, sighed hearing them arguing again."Alright, we'd better make sure now," Richard insisted. The man then walked towards Angelica's room, pulling the doorknob until the door opened wide enough.Inside the room, Brandon was seen holding Angelica's back with his palm, the man was giving her a traditional treatment.

    The room that was once filled with commotion and accusations had fallen silent. Everyone there stared at a man who had become the center of attention."Is this serious? How could this happen? It seems like just a joke.""Yes, I'm sure this isn't true, maybe Miss Angelica felt sorry for him, so she tried to defend that man.""You're right, it's impossible for an ordinary person to heal Miss Angelica, especially when several professional doctors couldn't do it."After a moment of silence, finally some guests started to speak up. They all still couldn't believe this.Angelica sighed, it was indeed difficult to silence those who hadn't experienced it themselves. "Stop talking nonsense about Mr. Brandon. He has really healed me," said Angelica, looking at Brandon warmly and then smiling.Angelica took Brandon's hand, "Thank you, Mr. Brandon, my body feels light."Suddenly Ariana became angry, she was still convinced that Brandon had deceived Angelica and toyed with that woman. "I'm sure th

    After all the commotion was over, Angelica approached Brandon. "I want to talk to you for a bit." She then walked away, leaving Brandon furrowing his brow in confusion. Stella patted Brandon's shoulder, "What's up? Is there another problem?"Brandon shook his head, he didn't know either. "I'm not sure, maybe there's something important she wants to discuss. I'll go ahead."Seeing Brandon follow in Angelica's footsteps, a strange feeling suddenly came over Stella. She held her chest, watching Brandon until the man was out of sight. "What's this? Why is my heart pounding?"Before she could process her pounding heart, someone tapped Stella's shoulder. She turned and was quite surprised. "Overnight, Mr. Brandon will become an influential person. Cooperating with Mr. Richard or Miss Angelica would be very difficult for an ordinary person. Mr. Brandon is very lucky, and I know this is because of you, Miss Stella."Stella furrowed her brow. The man before her was quite unfamiliar – Stella d

    Kevin stopped in his tracks. A man standing next to Angelica startled him, leaving him unable to take another step. "Am I seeing things?" he said. Angelica was still smiling. She then ran towards Kevin and hugged him. "You read my message, didn't you?" she asked, breaking the embrace with sparkling eyes. "Soon, I'll be completely cured, Kevin." Angelica looked overjoyed as she hugged Kevin again.Kevin did not return Angelica's embrace, his focus was on Brandon, processing everything he was seeing. Seeing Angelica intimately hug Kevin, Brandon chose to look away. Now he knew Angelica must have a special relationship with Kevin.Not getting a response from Kevin left Angelica confused. "You heard what I said, didn't you, Vin?" she asked, releasing the hug and giving Kevin a suspicious look.Kevin snapped out of it. He then tried to remain calm. "Sorry, Angelica, I'm just too happy to say anything," he said, trying to reassure her.Angelica smiled, this news was so sudden, it made se

    Inside the taxi, Brandon observed a group of people who had just gotten out of a car. They were all wearing black clothes. "Who are they all?" he asked. The taxi driver shook his head weakly, "I don't know, Sir, but we're definitely in trouble. What if they're all robbers, Sir?"Brandon didn't answer, trying to focus on some people who were now walking towards the taxi. From their appearance, Brandon was sure they were not robbers as the taxi driver had said.Brandon sighed, "They're not robbers," he said. "They must be someone's henchmen." The taxi driver turned, his brow furrowed. "Someone's henchmen?"Brandon nodded in affirmation. "Yes, from their appearance, they're not robbers.""But I haven't done anything, Sir," the taxi driver admitted honestly. "I'm just a taxi driver, I've never done anything."Brandon just nodded, continuing to observe all the people who were already beside the taxi. "Who ordered them? Was it Ariana?" Fearfully, the taxi driver gripped the seatbelt ti

At a time like this, Brandon tried to stay calm. He stared one by one at the criminals surrounding him. Thinking cleverly and not recklessly.Brandon pulled the corners of his mouth up, an idea now occurring to him. The light from some cars shining towards them made it clear that Brandon was smirking.One of the criminals who saw him said, "Why are you smiling? Are you underestimating us?" Your gaze is so sharp, as if you just want to pounce on your prey.Brandon shook his head. "I'm not underestimating you, it's just..." Brandon looked at one of the fat men who had earlier said he wanted to incapacitate him with one punch. "Didn't you say you wanted to incapacitate me with one punch? So why do you still want to attack me all together? Did you change your mind and get scared?" Brandon mocked.The fat man clenched his fists, not accepting

Can't you just give me one chance?"Ariana kept trying to call him, but until now, Brandon hadn't picked up the phone. Many times Ariana made calls, but still Brandon had no intention of picking up the phone from her. However, Ariana doesn't want to give up so easily. She would keep trying to call Brandon until he picked up the phone.Feeling annoyed because she had tried several times to call, Ariana rudely threw her cell phone in all directions, so angry with the man who did not want to pick up the phone from her."Shit!

    Brandon flashed a smile. He could of course deduce from his mother's lucky question that she was really worried about him. Brandon was grateful to have a mother who loved him so much and was always there when he was in trouble."Brandon is fine, Mom. There's no need to worry," Brandon finally said.Brandon's mom nodded her head, truly relieved that nothing major had happened to Brandon. The middle-aged woman put down the fruit she had bought before deciding to return to the room. After putting the fruits down, she pulled out the chair next to Angelica and began to sit on it."Oh yeah, I just saw Ariana. Why didn't she leave quickly? Did she come here already?"Apparently Brandon's mother still didn't know that Brandon had actually remembered everything. The man didn't want to accept back Ariana who had betrayed him. Even though she had tried to change, Brandon couldn't accept her back. If it was just to forgive, Brandon would have forgiven, but if it was to return, don't expect Brando

Would he leave her?Angelica remained where she was, looking at Brandon and Ariana in turn. Of course, she also felt curious about what had happened to Brandon. Why did he suddenly seem to have forbidden Ariana to come? Hadn't they been so close the past few days? In fact, Angelica had seen the two of them making out in the living room."What are you doing here, Ariana? I didn't ask for your presence at all," Brandon insisted, glaring disapprovingly at the woman who was now walking towards him. I don't know why she was here all of a sudden, when their relationship had been over for quite some time."I don't understand what you're saying, Brandon. Aren't we...""We're not in a relationship anymore, Ariana. And aren't you ashamed to come here after what you did to me?" cut in Brandon quickly, glar

Then why was the call from the hospital suddenly saying that Brandon had been in an accident?Brandon's mother continued to run towards the highway, hoping to find a taxi that would take her quickly to the hospital.Angelica, who happened to be leaving the house, frowned when she saw Brandon's mother in a hurry.

She had no intention of going anywhere, as she was currently feeling upset and in an uncomfortable mood.Ariana climbed the stairs as soon as she got home, but her steps were immediately halted when suddenly someone called her. That someone was none other than Rian; surely her brother was curious about the look on her face right now."Did something happen, Ariana? You looked so happy earlier, but now your face looks dull."Rian looked suspiciously at the woman who had just arrived. Of course she could guess what had happened to the woman, considering how she had reacted before leaving, and now the dull face she showed when she had just returned indicated something had happened to her.Ariana sighed. She turned to Rian, whose hands were currently folded over his

    "Have a seat, Ariana."Brandon pulled out a chair for Ariana so that she sat across from him. Ariana nodded, feeling happy for the attention Brandon was giving her. Was he doing this because he was going to marry her soon? Imagining that made Ariana feel calm. She nodded and sat down in the chair provided by Brandon."I'm sorry if I made you wait so long, Brandon," Ariana said after sitting in the chair, looking at Brandon guiltily for making him wait. Ariana was sure that Brandon must have waited a long time, considering he was still talking to Ryan, his younger brother.Brandon just nodded and decided to sit back in his chair. After that, he called a waiter to immediately prepare food for the two of them."What would you like to order, Ariana?" asked Brandon after receiving the menu book from the waiter. He then handed one of the menu books to Ariana.Ariana immediately grabbed the menu book offered by Brandon and read all the options in the cafe. After finding the menu she wanted,

    After telling his mother everything about getting married, Brandon felt a little relieved. At least, his mother already knew that Ariana wanted to get married, it's just that his mother still didn't agree with rushing to decide to get married. Currently, Brandon was at a cafe quite close to Ariana's house. He decided to meet with her and talk about this, hoping that she would understand. After all, he himself was still not ready to take things to a more serious level. Meanwhile, Ariana, who was still at home, was wearing make-up with a smile on her face. She was happy that she would soon be married to Brandon, especially after he expressed his wishes. She was sure that Brandon would talk about their wedding at the café. Still in her room, Ariana wore quite a bit of make-up, hoping that even with the light make-up, Brandon would always be mesmerized by her. As Ariana was getting dressed, someone suddenly opened the door. She had no intention of turning around because she was too fo

    After Ariana's departure, Brandon was silent on the couch, thinking about what they had talked about this time. She already wanted to marry him, and Brandon, ready or not, had to tell his mother this. After all, they had been engaged for quite some time, which meant it was appropriate for them to take things to a more serious level."Will I eventually marry Ariana?"Brandon was pensive as he stared out the window. His mind was currently completely occupied with Ariana's request for marriage. They couldn't possibly continue like this without a more definite bond. Although it was only an engagement, they had been engaged for quite some time.Brandon sighed, a little annoyed by what he was thinking. Honestly, the man still had no plans to get married. However, he also couldn't possibly keep making promises to Ariana. She might turn and leave him, looking for someone more serious, and Brandon certainly didn't want that to happen."What should I do?"Hearing the sound of the car that had j

    "Does Angelica come here often?"It was only after Angelica's departure that Ariana asked Brandon. Of course, she was quite surprised by Angelica's sudden arrival, and she had even interrupted her moment of intimacy with Brandon. How could she just walk in without knocking first, something he had never imagined before.Brandon was a little uncomfortable with the questions Ariana had just asked about Angelica. He knew that Angelica had just made a mistake, but did Ariana have to talk about her?Brandon was silent for a moment, trying to find the right words so that Ariana wouldn't suspect him. After all, he didn't have a special relationship with Angelica either and had never had feelings for her."She's my patient, Ariana. You don't need to worry about that."Those seemed to be the right words for Brandon to say at the moment, hoping that the woman beside him would understand and not prolong the matter, despite his efforts.Hearing the words that Brandon had just said, made Ariana sil
