“Really?”“My Uncle told me that Mr. Albert, the chairman of Ironclad Enterprise in Crownmore district will be hosting a banquet tonight to welcome a special guest who recently arrived in the city.” Dominic’s voice, not low, instantly drew everyone’s attention.Grace’s eyes widened. “Who is this special guest?”“We don’t know him yet, but he must be a big shot. The invitation was sent to families that have joined the ironclad enterprise only.”Grace sighed when she heard this, feeling disappointed. She had been trying to help her family business join Ironclad Enterprise for a long time, but she hadn’t been successful despite pulling several strings. “It’s such a shame that my family was not invited,” Grace said. “We are still on the waiting list.”Dominic smiled proudly. “I can bring one person to the banquet tonight. If you come with me, I’ll introduce you to some members, and this can pave the way for your family to obtain the membership later. That’s why I invited you.”“Really?
Since Dominic had put the call on speaker, the whole room heard what Dominic’s father said and fell silent. Did he really say the banquet was cancelled?Dominic was so shocked that his phone almost slipped from his hand.He thought he didn’t hear his father well for a moment, but everyone else looked stunned like him.‘How could they cancel the banquet?’ He asked himself. ‘And how did Edward know about it?He knew a person had to be someone important to know anything about the Ironclad Enterprise. How could a ragged-looking man like Edward know anything about Mr. Albert?Even Grace was staring at Edward like he had grown a second head. How could he have known about such an important event?She remembered how he had bragged about being the mysterious medical immortal and wondered if he had been telling the truth.Could Edward really be a dignified man? Or was it mere coincidence? Grace couldn’t help but sigh deeply. She was really upset that the banquet was cancelled.She ha
“We should not bother ourselves with the words of this braggart,” Dominic said. “Let’s have dinner together later today and enjoy the rest of the night.”“Yes, that will be delightful.” Rebecca cried. “Have you made any arrangements?”“I will call and make the necessary preparations,” Dominic answered confidently. “It wouldn’t take so much to set up an exquisite dinner for us.”“Of course, you’re a man of your word. Unlike Edward.” Rebecca said. In the meantime, Edward received a call from Albert. “Hello, master. We need your help.” Albert spoke with urgency.“I am so sorry to disturb you. But my daughter’s condition has suddenly worsened. We have made all the necessary arrangements for her to receive treatment. Would it be possible for you to treat her this afternoon?” Albert said, politely seeking assistance, but Edward could sense how nervous and desperate he felt.“No problem. Just send me your address.” Edward replied briefly. “I do appreciate your kindness, master.” Even if
The butler led Edward to the room prepared for Amelia’s treatment. As Edward entered the room, he saw a woman lying weakly on the bed.She appeared to be in her early twenties, with a dignified beautiful face, exuding an elegant and noble temperament.Her skin was as smooth and white as snow, and her proud curves were so eye-catching that they would definitely make every woman envious and every man enchanted.Her slender waist weakened her shrewd and capable temperament, and highlighted her vulnerable side.It could be said that compared to Grace, she was not inferior in the slightest.However, her face was rather pale at the moment, as colour completely drained from her. Her lips were an abnormal bright red, as if she had applied the most intense lipstick, but clearly she hadn’t. She chapped and was trembling so much that her breathing became continuously erratic.. It was obvious that she could die anytime if left untreated.Edward identified the symptoms of Amelia’s illness a
Meanwhile, Dr Charles took out a green bottle. He poured out two green pills and handed them to Amelia.“Take these two pills and you’ll be fine.”“See, a real doctor cures with medicine, not boiling ginger water! There is no need for your fancy tricks. We aren’t stupid. We can see through your dirty motives.” Mark mocked.Edward didn’t argue back immediately.He frowned as he examined the green pills in Dr Charles palms.Shaking his head, he said, “Whether my motives are dirty or not is irrelevant. What’s important is that the medication is incorrect.”“If your sister takes the pills, she will break out in a rash all over her body in ten seconds. She will have unstoppable nosebleeds in the next two seconds. And then she will suffer unbearable bone pain after one second.”“Watch your mouth, young man. Do you think my thirty years of medical experience are worthless?” Dr Charles felt offended and his displeasure showed on his face. With his esteemed status and exquisite medical skil
“How can you not know? Aren’t you a doctor? Do something!”Mark roared with anger.Seeing Amelia’s terrible condition, he was consumed with anxiety.If anything were to happen to Amelia, it would all be his fault! Because he was the one who brought Dr. Charles!Dr. Charles felt helpless as he trembled. He did not expect his medicine to have such a terrible effect on Amelia. If anything happened to her, he would surely be in trouble. Mr. Albert will kill him.Just then, Mrs Morgan remembered what Edward had predicted. She cried as she looked up at Edward.“Please Sir, help my daughter!” Amelia now looked lifeless, and she wasn’t crying or moving anymore.Mark let go of Dr Charles and ran to Amelia’s side, trembling. “You’ve killed my sister! You’re not leaving this house alive!” His face paled.Mrs Morgan fell on her knees. The news was too much for her to carry.“She is not dead,” Edward suddenly stated.Mrs Morgan looked up at Edward with hope. He had correctly predicted her
“What?” Mrs Morgan was shocked to her bones.Who could have poisoned her daughter? Why?“The discolouration of the water shows that she was poisoned, but no need to worry, the toxins were removed through the needling and herbal bath.”“Really?”Edward nodded. “She will not suffer any further harm. But she needs to take care for the time being.”“Thank you so much.” Mrs Morgan’s face shone with joy and gratitude, although she was still worried about the poison“Are you sure she was poisoned? That is no small accusation.” Mark asked sceptically.“Believe it or not.”He had kindly warned them and that was that.Edward didn’t intend to explain further. It was none of his business.“Who would dare to poison my sister? I swear I will chop him or her into pieces myself!” Mark threatened as he eyed all the servants in the room with suspicion.“And how can we find that terrible person?” Mrs Morgan looked worried.“This is not the time for speculation,” Edward reminded them. “You should give
Amelia stepped forward, blushing shyly. “Thank you for healing me.” “You’re welcome.”She handed Edward some invitation cards. “I will host a charity banquet tomorrow evening to celebrate my recovery and raise money for the orphanages in this area. Will you kindly attend?”“I don’t—”“It will be a busy night because I’ll also help my father select some qualified companies or organisations to become candidates of the Ironclad Enterprise members,” Amelia added. “We will understand if you are too busy for it.”But Edward’s interest was suddenly piqued.He immediately thought about Grace and how she desperately wanted her family business to join the Ironclad enterprise. He could help Grace become one of the candidates by giving her the invitations, which would allow her to attend the banquet..He accepted the card from Amelia. “If I have time, I will attend the banquet.”“Thank you so much.” Amelia beamed.Just as Edward turned to leave, Dr. Charles ran after him.“Mr. Edward!” and t
