Switched off?Ashton dialed several times. He also tried calling her best friend, Gwen, but her phone was switched off.What was going on?"Mister Levin, how did it go? We must leave immediately. Otherwise, something terrible might happen," Xavier Lockwood said.Rather than responding hastily, Ashton called Aunt Theresa and Anthony to inquire and provide instructions about Yanne's performance. Anthony promptly assured him that he would attend Yanne's performance in his stead. Relieved, Ashton was temporarily at ease.A 700-year-old ancient medicine was almost a king of medicine.A 500-year-old ingredient was qualified as ancient medicine, an 800-year-old one was a king of medicine, and a 1000-year-old one was a magical remedy—a lifeform in itself.Such a treasure, if missed, could never be bought again, not even with all the money in the world.With the Starflower, he could brew a panacea capable of fundamentally transforming Yanne and Aunt Theresa's constitutions, ensuring the
A glint appeared in Gwen's eye as she laughed. "Absolutely. If he's not jealous, he'll think you're cheap.'"Nobody treasures something easily attainable. Make him realize he could lose you anytime, and then he'll truly cherish you."Yanne pursed her lips, seemingly agreeing with Gwen's perspective. Had Ashton been so obsessed with Alora all these years because she never truly cared for him and instead had ambiguous relationships with other men?"Yanne, trust me. As women, we need to take control. We can't let men lead us around by the nose," Gwen said."Alright, I'm going to change." Yanne sighed and turned to enter the cabin. The conversation had left her feeling oppressed. As a woman—or more precisely, as a young woman—she wished to be the focus of her lover's attention. However, given her upbringing and moral boundaries, she would not betray or hurt Ashton.Inside the restroom, Yanne was studying her reflection when she suddenly froze. Behind her stood a man. He was staring in
The expression on York's face was indiscernible.He looked at the waitress next to him. "Find an appraiser."In a short while, an old man hurried from the backstage.He took a magnifying glass to identify the precious pink diamond gemstone and finally came to a conclusion. "It's fake."The crowd was in an uproar.Alora looked at Hugo in surprise and then at the stands.York's pink diamond, which cost hundreds of millions, was stolen."Seal off and set up stations at all exits, especially the deck and the rear cabin, to prevent people from jumping into the sea."Everyone, an unpleasant event has occurred."We will conduct body searches and inspections on all suspects, and we hope everyone will cooperate with the searches."Of course, I can't help it if you all were to refuse. The sharks on the high seas are hungry and must love to have some human flesh for a meal."York's face was frighteningly cold.The audience in the VIP section was anxious when they heard that.Most of
"Gwen, why are you accusing me of theft? I didn't steal anything. I never even left the locker room. I didn't steal anything." Yanne was desperate beyond words. She cried in grievance.Gwen turned her head guiltily and stood with Kaylee and the others."Did she steal it?" Kaylee looked shocked."Do you think I will lie on such matters? You will never truly know a person. Even though she looks innocent and pure, you don't know what she's capable of," Gwen said with contempt. "I have been her best friend for so long, and I know her better than any of you."I initially felt bad for her and did not want to expose her in front of a crowd, but now we are all going to be stripped naked, and she still doesn't want to admit that she's the thief. She's doing this to get us all in trouble."Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Yanne.Kaylee's clothes were about to be stripped off, yet the main offender had not admitted their mistakes. The offender clearly did not care about what others were g
"Don't you think this is amazing? Alora, you should hate your ex-husband, right? Don't you feel happy seeing his new flame tortured?" Hugo said with a smile.Alora turned her head and glared at him. "You're insane! Whatever beef I have with my ex-husband has nothing to do with other people!"She admitted that she hated Yanne when she saw her with Ashton and even said humiliating things, but she regretted it after the Brash Tigers Army Corps incident.Yanne was braver than her and loved Ashton more than she did.Alora and Ashton had divorced, so Yanne had the right to pursue her love bravely. Her so-called hatred was just her ego acting out. She needed someone to blame for her misery.Hugo shrugged and said, "Anyway, no matter what, she stole things and brought this upon herself. No one can save her today."Alora fell silent and sighed.Indeed, she had to admit that Yanne would probably suffer a terrible fate, and no one could save her.Yanne, who had fainted countless times, ju
"Don't worry, Ash followed the Lockwood family to the Central South. He must have something important to do. He's a busy man, and we can't disturb him." Anthony lowered his head. "Let's find Yanne first."Soon, the convoy came to the harbor.Many people surrounded the harbor as a group of police officers closed off the scene, and even an ambulance arrived."It's horrible. How can someone do such an evil thing? How terrible must someone be to torture another person into this state?""I heard that she was sent ashore by a fishing boat, and the girl was thrown off from the Elizabeth.""Hey, a human life is nothing to rich people. We are all nothing more than fish food to them."A passing student said, surprised, "She is wearing the South Edren University Dance Club's uniform. Is she a student from our school?"Yanne's face was unrecognizable, making it more difficult to identify her."Get out of the way, get out of the way now!"When Anthony heard the chatter among the crowd, his
Ashton frowned."Brother, I forgot the introductions. This is the doctor I want to introduce to you. His name is Ashton. He is a real powerhouse, not a child," Zion said with a smile.The expression on Declan's face changed several times instantly, and he pointed to Ashton teasingly. "Him? A doctor? Has he even gone through puberty yet?"He is a doctor or an ancient technique practitioner at this age? Has he finished medical school? Or has he mastered the practice of ancient technique?"Zion, I'm being nice to you, and I respect you as my guest. But if you joke about such trivial things, don't blame me for kicking all of you out.""Brother, can you calm down? I can understand what you're feeling now, but if you continue to act like this, you will not be able to save Cheryl and stagnate the development of the Zelly family." Rubie looked at him, dissatisfied.Declan snorted coldly. "Get out, all of you. Leave!"Then, a young man in a suit stepped into the hall."Uncle Declan, I h
"Brother, this is not just for you, but more for Cheryl. Just let Mister Levin take a look." Rubie begged him."Just let him take a look. Cheryl is getting worse. We don't know when Doctor Taylor will arrive. Do you want to let your daughter die?" Josephine was crying.Declan lay on the side of the bed without saying a word."Aunt Josephine, too many quack doctors seek money and kill people these days. Since the Zelly family sent out the news about the reward for saving Cheryl, so far, more than 600 doctors claim to be able to cure Cheryl's illness. You saw the results."Originally, even though Cheryl's condition was not good, her life was not in danger. But after those quack doctors put their hands on her, she got worse every time.""This kid is so young. Do you believe he is a doctor? Even if he is a doctor, he must have only graduated for a few years and worked even less. What is his experience treating such severe diseases and saving lives? We must get Cheryl to hold on for te
