Christina's challenge only added fuel to the fire, her voice carrying a note of daring as she addressed Kevin's hesitation. "Why the reluctance, Dr. Lang?" she pressed, her gaze unwavering. "If you're truly confident that the glass is safe, then what's stopping you from proving it?"

Kevin's unease became palpable, his facade of certainty beginning to crack under the pressure.

Albert tried to make sense all of this. "Are you afraid that it might be poisoned as Calvin said, Dr. Lang?" he questioned, his tone cutting through the silence like a blade.

For a fleeting moment, Kevin's hand moved towards the glass, his resolve wavering under the weight of Albert's challenge. However, before he could take a sip, Alana intervened, her voice laced with doubt and suspicion.

"Hold on a moment," she interjected, her eyes narrowing as she turned her gaze towards Calvin. "How do you know that the glass is poisoned? Could it be that you are the one who placed the toxin at the bottom?

Kevin, unable to contain his fury, slammed his fist on the table, the sharp sound echoing through the room.Alana blushed deeply, misinterpreting Calvin's request as a sign of lingering jealousy and a desire to win her back. She cast a sidelong glance at Calvin, her thoughts a whirlwind of confusion and unexpected flattery.Kevin's face was a mask of rage as he leaned forward, his voice a harsh growl. "Even if I don't marry Alana, don't think for a second that she would ever go back to you, Calvin," he spat. "You're just a loser living off the generosity of others. Don't get cocky with the little wealth you have now; it's all from conning rich people like Albert Finch."Calvin stood there, silently enduring the barrage of insults, a serene smile never leaving his face.

She cast a haughty glance at Christina, convinced that Calvin loved her more than he did Christina.

The room fell silent as he cleared his throat and spoke with his usual authoritative yet warm tone. "Ladies and gentlemen," Albert began, a smile spreading across his face, "I hope you all enjoyed the dinner. I want to extend my gratitude for your presence tonight and for your support. Now, let’s continue our evening with a cocktail party in the mansion's garden. The night is still young, and I believe we all deserve to unwind after such an eventful day."The guests responded with polite applause and appreciative m

"Albert, thank you for hosting such a lovely evening, but I'm feeling quite exhausted. I hope you don’t mind if I leave a bit early," she said, her voice tinged with strain.Albert, ever the gracious host, gave her a warm smile. "Of course, Alana. Your health and comfort are most important. Please, take care and get some rest," he replied, patting her shoulder gently.As Alana made her way towards the exit, she cast a sharp, lingering glance at Christina, her eyes filled with a mixture of jealousy and resentment.

She chatted animatedly, her laughter ringing out amidst the evening's festivities. However, as the drinks kept coming, Christina began to lose track of how much she had consumed.Calvin, observing her from a distance, noticed her starting to wobble slightly and her speech becoming more slurred. Concerned, he approached her gently. "Christina, I think you've had enough for tonight. How about we get you home?"Christina pouted, her cheeks flushed from the alcohol. "No, Calvin," she insisted, her words drawn out. "I still want to have fun. Just one more drink."Calvin shook his head, his tone firm but kind. "You've already had more than enough. You can barely stand. It's time to go home."Despite her protests, Calvin managed to guide Christina away from the party. He approached Albert to bid farewell, explaining the situation.

    "Would you like to stay the night?" Christina asked, her face flushed. Her heart was racing. This was the first time Christina had invited a man to stay over at her apartment. It was also the first time she felt the fear of rejection. Usually, no man would refuse her, but this time it felt different. Christina truly wanted Calvin to stay with her tonight."Christina... I can't promise anything about our relationship," Calvin replied, trying to be as gentle as possible to avoid hurting her feelings. He didn't want to ruin their friendship, and he still had a lot to deal with."I know. There’s no ‘us.’ There never has been. Tomorrow, tonight will never have happened," Christina said, moving closer to him."Christina, I think you’ve had too much to drink at the party," Calvin said, concerned.Christina had indeed had a few glasses of alcohol because she didn’t know what else to do at the party. Perhaps she had drunk too much, but she was fully aware of her actions now."We’ll forget abou

Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he followed the scent, his stomach rumbling in anticipation. Stepping into the kitchen, he found his younger sister, Lizzie, already busy at the stove, a mischievous glint in her eyes."Morning, sleepyhead," Lizzie greeted, flashing a playful grin as she flipped a pancake with practiced ease.Calvin smiled, the corners of his lips curling up in response to her infectious energy. "Morning, Liz. What's cooking?"Lizzie chuckled, her movements graceful as she continued her culinary dance. "Just your favorite – pancakes with maple syrup."Calvin's brows furrowed slightly at the mention of the party. "Are you feeling better now?" he asked, concern lacing his words. "You mentioned having a stomachache yesterday."Lizzie waved a dismissive hand, her laughter tinkling like wind chimes in the morning breeze. "Oh, I'm all good now. Just

Parking his car, Calvin walked towards the building, feeling a mix of anticipation and apprehension.Reaching the specified unit, he took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell. Almost instantly, the door swung open to reveal a woman who looked utterly exhausted, dark circles under her eyes and worry etched into her features."Who are you?" she asked, her voice tinged with both hope and desperation."I'm Calvin Hudson," he replied gently, offering a reassuring smile. "You called me about your husband."At the sound of his name, her eyes brightened with relief. "Mr. Hudson, thank you for coming. I've been waiting for you."She stepped aside, holding the door open wider. "Please, come in."Calvin entered the apartment, noting its modest yet tidy appearance. It was a typical middle-class home, furnished

  • It Should’ve Exploded

    A subordinate knelt before President Lee, the supreme leader of Han Xin, who sat on his throne and looked down at the man with a haughty expression. “What news do you bring me this time?” he said mockingly.The atmosphere in the room was suffocating and tense, filled with the cruel aura that emanated from President Lee—even when the tyrant wasn’t committing any atrocities.“Forgive me, my lord. Calvin is still alive, and he survived the plane crash with ease,” the man explained timidly.President Lee’s face immediately hardened. His eyes darkened, and his fists clenched tightly. “You couldn’t even kill a cockroach?” he hissed sharply. “Are you sure you did your job properly?”The subordinate didn’t dare answer directly. He bowed even lower, almost as if trying to disappear into the floor. His knees trembled violently, and cold sweat began to drip from his temples. His breath was ragged, unable to bear the burning gaze of President Lee. His courage shrank to nothing—even though the Pre

  • Rebirth of Bacca

    Destroyed buildings from the war greeted Calvin at every step as he walked through the city of Bacca. Debris was scattered everywhere. Barrion—his homeland—was now free from the tyrannical rule of Han Xin... but the remnants of destruction were overwhelming.Calvin's steps halted at a vast field, once known as the city center. Around him, nothing remained but rubble and charred pillars. His eyes swept over the scene, his expression difficult to read."I'll start by rebuilding the houses and structures in this area first," Calvin said."Please do, Sir," replied the President, who stood not far from him, nodding respectfully and giving Calvin the space to do as he wished.Without a word, Calvin stepped forward. He knelt down, pressing his palm against the ground. Instantly, the earth trembled, compacted itself, and began to rise, forming solid buildings with supernatural precision. Wooden elements emerged from the soil, weaving into walls, rooftops, and sturdy pillars, creating rows of

  • The Rise of Barrion's Guardian

    The plane began to shake more violently. Emergency alarms wailed incessantly, making the atmosphere even more tense. Passengers—including two government representatives from Barrion—screamed, some cried, others clung to their seatbelts as if they could save them from death.Meanwhile, Calvin remained calmly seated, though his body shook along with the turbulence. His eyes focused on the window, then on a flight attendant who ran past the cabin aisle in panic.“The cabin's losing pressure! Navigation system failure!” came the pilot’s voice from the cockpit.Calvin slowly stood, walking toward the front, keeping his balance with effort.“Open the door,” he ordered sharply upon reaching the cockpit.“We’re trying!” The co-pilot looked pale. “The main engine is completely dead, we—”“If we panic, we die. Stick to the plan. You head toward the nearest airport for an emergency landing. I’ll help as much as I can—just focus on landing the plane safely.” Calvin stared at the wildly blinking s

  • The Price of Pride

    Calvin’s name suddenly exploded across various social media platforms. A clip of him calmly but devastatingly shutting down the shareholders' arguments during yesterday’s meeting went viral and trended within hours. What impressed the public the most was how Calvin managed to leave Kevin Lang completely speechless after enduring a series of insults. People began praising Calvin even more as a medical god with the heart of an angel.Meanwhile, far from the media spotlight, Kevin was sitting in a treatment room at Lang Hospital. His hands trembled as a nurse finished reattaching his severed pinky. The pain from Calvin’s brutal and unexpected act of cutting off his finger was unbearable—but the most excruciating pain wasn’t in his finger. It was in his pride. Kevin’s ego was shattered by the fact that he had to go to Calvin and beg him to return the severed piece.“This is all that bastard Calvin’s fault, Dad!” Kevin growled, his voice shaking with emotion. “He dared to humiliate me—me,

  • Use The Card!

    Laughter echoed throughout the meeting room. All eyes were fixed on Calvin with judgmental and mocking gazes.“This is the first time I’ve seen a genius doctor turn out to be a mental patient. How could Miss Alana bring someone in the middle of a hallucination phase?” they scolded.“I’m sure that’s just a card he picked up on the street. Shouldn’t you return it to its owner? You won’t be able to use it anyway!” mocked another as they burst into laughter.They brutally trampled on Calvin’s dignity, treating him like a filthy sewer rat that deserved to be a laughingstock.“Hahaha!” Calvin suddenly let out a dry laugh, echoing their cheerful cackles and instantly silencing them in confusion. “You’re laughing at me, but are you sure your money is clean? This card is mine, and the money in it is mine. I use it with peace of mind because it’s clean. But I doubt any of you feel as calm as I do,” Calvin said, throwing their mockery back at them.“No matter how much money is in your fake card,

  • What Could You Do?

    "Perry Pharmacy did something incredibly foolish. After this disaster, what are you going to do to cover our massive losses? We won’t accept just an apology in a situation like this," said one of the shareholders, his voice laced with anger he tried to suppress, though the sarcasm in his tone was hard to miss.That night, the Perry family had gathered for an important meeting. All shareholders and members of the board of directors filled the meeting room seats, their faces gloomy and angry.The atmosphere in the room was unbearably tense, especially for the Perry family, who had now lost face."Can we start this meeting and hear how this madness happened?""The Perry family is completely incompetent at managing a simple business like this. You’ve destroyed our trust and our money. Utterly foolish!"All the fury was directed at the Perry family, prompting Beatrice, James, and Giana to immediately glare at Alana with sharp eyes."This is all Alana’s fault," James hissed. "She’s the one

  • Sell Your Body

    "You cancel the agreement and I will be willing to pay for your losses. I truly have no energy left to keep facing your insane obsession with me, Alana," Calvin said tiredly. "Besides, I never wanted this marriage in the first place."Alana was stunned to hear Calvin's words. She never expected a man like him to be so cruel to her."Don’t joke around, Calvin. How could you possibly afford to cover all my losses if you cancel our marriage agreement?" Alana asked in disbelief."So you still underestimate me even after everything that’s happened, Alana," Calvin sneered. "Is it because I’m poor that you’ve always treated me like dirt—even now? You’ve been so harsh because your obsession with me stems from a sense of superiority over a poor man like me.""That’s not what I meant, Calvin. You misunderstood," Alana said in a panic, trying to explain. "I never looked down on you, no matter your situation. I just want to marry you and leave all the problems in this city behind, that’s all. I c

  • I’ll Pay

    Alana fell silent, disappointed to hear her family so strongly opposed her decision to marry Calvin. She had hoped they would be happy for her and help make her dreams come true.“Aren’t you ashamed to marry a man who was once just your contract husband, sis?” Giana scolded, eyeing Alana skeptically. “Like James said, you're doing something pointless. Just give up. Your engagement was called off, and that alone humiliated not just you, but our whole family in front of all those important guests,” she added sharply.Alana remained silent, her fists clenched tightly, holding back her anger and sadness.“Sweetheart, you should go see Kevin instead of insisting on marrying Calvin again,” Beatrice said gently, her voice calm. “This isn't about the company, it's about you. Instead of forcing yourself to be Calvin’s bride, I want you to marry a man who truly loves you—and I see that in Kevin.”“She’s right. Go see Kevin and talk to him,” James added firmly.“You're unbelievable,” Alana whisp

A patient named Maxwell Smith would like to see you,” the staff repeated.Calvin turned to look at her. “Alright, I’ll go to the hospital.
