“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
As they were returning to Grace’s family villa for dinner, Dominic received a text from his uncle.His eyes widened in shock as he read the text message.“Holy cow!” “What happened?” Grace shifted closer to him.“Mr. Albert’s daughter has been cured!” “Really? How wonderful!” Grace shrieked. “This is such good news.” Rebecca added. “When?”“This afternoon.” Dominic answered. “She was cured by an unknown mysterious doctor.”“Who could that be?” “I have no idea but my uncle said the doctor cured her so easily. He didn’t even break a sweat.”Grace and Rebecca exchanged surprised looks between themselves.Dominic briefly wondered who the mysterious doctor was and why his uncle didn’t know his identity. But he decided not to think too much about it. “I have more good news to share.” He revealed.“Tell us, Dominic. What else?”“To celebrate her recovery, Mr. Albert’s daughter will host a charity banquet,” He smiled proudly. “She plans to raise money for orphanages and welfare homes i
Meanwhile, at the other end of the store, a young woman was shopping for jewelry, accompanied by a middle-aged man with a protruding belly. The young woman stood next to him and admired the jewellery in the showcase. “Peter baby, don’t you think I will look good in that pair of earrings?” She nudged the man. “Can you buy it for me, sweetheart?”“Come on babe, they don’t suit you. You look better…” Upon seeing the price tag, the man’s eyes twitched. A whopping two hundred thousand dollars for a pair of earrings! If his wife found out, he would have no explanation.It seemed the young woman was confused and wanted all the jewellery in the showcase.She spotted a diamond-encrusted necklace and almost screamed. “You must get this diamond necklace for me, baby. It is so magnificent!”The man took a look at the price of the necklace and shook his head. “Patricia, that is too expensive. My wife might question my credit card expenses if I buy it.”“What does that matter?” “I don’t want m
The corner of the man’s eyes twitched, and his face turned red. “You little punk! Do you know who I am?” He asked cockily and turned to the sales representative.“Remove this man from this store!”“Sir, please—”“You must remove this poor wrench immediately! He is disturbing our shopping and I will not take it.”Patricia crossed her arms and watched the drama with her head held high, looking pompous.Naturally, the sales representative didn’t want to choose sides. What could she do? If she obeyed the man, she would be driving away a customer. At the same time, she didn’t want the old man to leave. She spoke through the intercom and said, “Mr. Anthony, there’s a little problem here. Please can you come quickly?”Within a minute, a man with a stern frown came from the inner office to join the sales representative. He was Anthony White, the sales manager at the store.“Mr. Peter!” Anthony exclaimed as he immediately recognized the middle-aged man who was a regular customer. He bow
Albert had already learned what happened before coming in and he was enraged. How dare anyone disrespect his master! If Edward blamed him for Anthony’s incompetent behavior, all the effort he had put into building a good impression and trying to win Edward’s favor would go down the drain. He would suffer a huge loss. Albert felt an overwhelming urge to smack Anthony — this useless troublemaker who only ruined things! He truly deserved to be dealt with harshly! With these thoughts in mind, Albert immediately ordered his bodyguards to remove the middle-aged man and his pompous mistress right away. “I don’t want to ever see them in this store!” Albert warned. As Anthony watched, blood drained from his face and his eyes were filled with fear. He looked like a frightened chicken as he cowered in one corner. “Where is that stupid manager? Come out this instant!” Anthony crawled out from where he was hiding at the corner and fell flat on his knees. “Sir, I—I am so
The young woman fell to the ground and stared at the middle-aged man in disbelief.But the latter didn’t spare her a single glance. She started to wail. The man ignored her tears and dragged her out of the store before she could say another disrespectful word.After they left, Albert turned to the sales representative and demanded. “Pack up that necklace and bring it over. Be quick. ” “Yes, Sir. I will do it right away.”The sales representative didn’t dare hesitate and immediately did as instructed. Meanwhile, Albert whispered to Edward humbly. “Please take the necklace as a gift. It’s on the house and I apologize for the attitude of my staff. Please accept it so that I’ll be able to sleep tonight.”After hesitating for a moment, Edward nodded. “Okay.”Albert heaved a sigh of relief when Edward accepted the gift. This either meant Edward wasn’t upset with him or he was forgiven. Phew! Thank God!Meanwhile, the sales representative returned with the wrapped necklace.And to
“What’s in the wrapped gift?” Rebecca asked with interest to know what else Dominic’s father sent. Grace unwrapped the box with curiosity as well. “Oh my! Look! It’s a silver necklace.” Grace couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy. “It looks quite expensive.” Looking at the intricate and exquisite craftsmanship, it was obviously not cheap. First, Dominic helped her pull strings to get the invitations, and now he even asked his father to give her such an expensive gift. Wasn’t this too much?But before she could refuse, Dominic spoke up in admiration, as if he knew beforehand.“I knew it! This necklace indeed suits you perfectly.”“You should wear it tonight at the banquet. It will make a stunning impression and turn heads.” Dominic suggested eagerly.Inwardly, he couldn’t help but praise his father for being so helpful.He had never asked his father to help him prepare a gift for Grace, yet he did it!Bravo!“Good idea!” Rebecca agreed whole-heartedly.“Grace, do you see how cons
