The understated miraculous Doctor. Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty One
At that moment the silence cracked like glass under a heavy foot. Everyone stared at Sophia.Immediately her grandfather blinked twice, trying to process what he thought he misheard. Her father’s jaw clenched. Even London, so full of himself a moment ago, faltered. His proud smirk twitched uncertainly.Then Sophia took a step forward. Her shoe echoed on the polished floor, each sound loud in the heavy silence.“You all thought I was going to beg him?” Her voice was steady, but there was something raw just beneath it. “Is that what you were waiting for? For me to kneel down and cry and say ‘I’m sorry, London’? After everything?”At that moment in time her grandfather’s eyes darkened even more. “Sophia, enough.”“No,” she said sharply, cutting through the tension. “No, Grandpa. You said I should apologize, for disrespecting him. But did anyone stop to ask what respect he gave me in the first place?”She turned to London. “Tell them, London. Tell them how you called me a disgrace. How y

At that moment London’s fists clenched at his sides. His breathing grew heavier, and his jaw locked. The smirk he had worn a moment ago had completely vanished, replaced by a tight-lipped scowl.He wanted to lash out, before he could say anything, Sophia stepped forward, past him, and walked to where her grandfather sat stiffly. Her voice dropped to a soft whisper, only meant for the old man’s ears. “Grandfather… I’m sorry I spoke like that in front of you. I didn’t mean to embarrass you.”The words were sincere, and the old man could hear it—but he said nothing.She didn’t wait for his response, With her back straight and eyes forward, Sophia walked out of the room.Immediately Silence followed her,until London snapped.His voice echoed through the room, sharp and venomous. “This is the girl you were defending? This is the same girl I thought you trained?”Immediately he turned on Sophia’s grandfather, pointing with disbelief. “You said you’d disown her if she walked out. Well, she

Upon hearing what London just said, Sophia’s eyes narrowed slightly, her voice calm but firm. “Like I said before, London… I don’t have anything to think about.”She folded her arms. “You can go. Do whatever you want. It’s not my business anymore.”Still her tone didn’t crack. No fear, no guilt. Just finality.London stood frozen for a second. His lips pressed into a hard line as he scanned her from head to toe—slowly. His eyes held a mix of disbelief, anger, and bitter disappointment. But mostly, bruised pride, seeing Sophia rejecting him over and over again.Immediately his jaw clenched. “You really meant it…” he muttered under his breath, like he couldn’t believe it was actually happening.Then his voice rose.“So that’s it?” he barked. “You walk away from everything—just like that?”He scoffed bitterly and pointed toward her. “Because some fool from the gutter was lucky enough to save your grandfather, now you think he’s good enough for you?”However Sophia remained silent. Not ev

At that moment As Serenity turned, her boots clicking against the tiled floor, her words still echoed in the air: “I’ll offer him something he won’t be able to reject.”Immediately Sophia’s jaw clenched.She didn’t move at first—just stared after Serenity, her fingers slowly curling into a fist at her side. Heat rose to her chest. Not the kind that came from fear, but the kind that boiled under layers of held-back restraint. ‘How dare she come into their home and speak like that?’At that moment Sophia finally stepped forward, her voice sharp but composed. “So that’s why you came?” she asked, staring directly at Serenity’s back. “To threaten my family?”Serenity paused but didn’t turn.Sophia took one more step. “You know, I understand your reputation. You’re the war goddess. We’re not equals. Exchanging words with you alone feels like asking for a fight I didn’t even pick.”Then Serenity’s head tilted slightly, but she still didn’t face her.However Sophia’s voice dropped a little,

At that moment the room went quiet immediately. His son clenched his jaw but said nothing. He slowly lowered his eyes and took a step back, biting back the words that had risen to his tongue. He had seen that look on his father’s face before — the look that said not another word. Pushing now would only make things worse.But deep down, he was unsettled about everything.If Serenity could walk in here and offer anything to buy the identity of that man… if they accepted and the news got out — would anyone ever trust them again? His thoughts raced. What about if any of them needed help from the miracle doctor? Would he even come here again?He looked at Serenity, standing tall and unreadable, her arms crossed, her gaze sharp but calm. She wasn’t bluffing. She meant every word. She had the power to reward them greatly — or walk away and never return.Sophia’s father swallowed hard. ‘She’s serious. If we help her… we’ll get favor. But at what cost?’However Sophia grandfather didn’t waver
The understated miraculous Doctor. Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Six
The moment Serenity uttered those words, a slow, satisfied smile tugged at the corners of Sophia’s grandfather’s mouth. Immediately his eyes gleamed—like a hunter who had just cornered his prey.Still he couldn't believe Serenity actually accepted, without being told he could tell whatever she decided the identity for most be extremely important, then he decided to leverage more on it.“Now you’ve made a wise decision,” he said, his voice filled with satisfaction. “Finally. Now we can talk real business.”At that moment he leaned forward slightly, resting both hands on his cane, the air around him suddenly heavier with authority. “Once you speak with the Supreme King… once you put in a good word for us, just as you’ve promised… then you will get what you came for. You have my word.”Upon hearing what Sophia grandfather just said, Serenity’s expression didn’t change, but the tension in her jaw said enough. She had expected pushback. But not this… not a sudden shift of terms.“That wa

Serenity nodded without hesitation. Her expression remained calm, though her heart beat steadily in her chest. She stretched out her hand and passed the badge forward. There was no tremble in her fingers.Just then, Sophia’s father stood up sharply from his seat.“This is enough,” he snapped, his voice filled with restrained fury. “Father, stop this. I’ve kept quiet for too long, but I don’t like this anymore. It’s getting out of hand.”He turned toward Serenity, his tone no less firm. “What we’re doing here—it’s not right. Using a woman’s honor as leverage? Blackmailing her for the identity of a man who saved us?”He looked down, his fists clenched at his sides. “This will not end well. And I don’t want to be part of this.”At that moment Serenity stepped forward, her voice quiet yet unwavering.“Don’t worry,” she said gently, locking eyes with him. “I’m not going to give their identity out.”“I’m not going to say I got the identity from you,” Serenity said quietly, her words steady

At that moment the room fell into a brief silence, Serenity’s grandfather slowly sank back into his chair, his hand still lightly resting on the gavel as if it gave him the authority to keep destiny in check. His gaze was steady, but behind his composed face, his thoughts swirled like a storm.Everything’s falling into place… slowly, but surely.Then he crossed one leg over the other, eyes flickering toward Sophia, who now stood by the doorway with tight lips and eyes filled with conflict. She looked too emotional, too attached, too naive.‘If I can just drive a wedge between her and that boy—Damien…’Then he inhaled deeply, leaning back further in his chair, hiding the cruel smile tugging at the edge of his lips.Without being told he knew Damien won’t forgive her.No man would… not after having his identity sold out by the same woman family.His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest even more. ‘It’s only a matter of time before he finds out. And when he does, who else will he blame

At that moment Winston exhaled deeply, trying to stay calm. “Which is something I don’t want, London. All our groundwork—it can’t go to waste because of a moment of anger.”London’s jaw twitched. He stepped away from the call table, his voice tightening. “I didn’t call you to be lectured, Winston. I called you because we were supposed to do this together. But since you suddenly want to play careful and wait for Megan like some obedient dog, that’s your choice.”Winston’s brows furrowed, but London didn’t give him space to respond.“You’re banking on what Meghan can pull off. That’s your leverage. You wait for that. But I’m not. I’m not playing slow chess anymore.”His tone turned cold. “Wait for my good news.”And with that, he ended the call.London stood in silence for a moment, the rage inside him bubbling just beneath the surface. He tossed the phone onto the glass table with a loud clack, his eyes narrowing.“This boy…” he muttered through clenched teeth. “Damien has bitten off m

Outside, the cool evening breeze brushed softly against Jessica’s cheeks, but her insides were tangled in heat and guilt. She stood a few feet behind Damien, her fingers twisting nervously. For a long moment, she couldn’t find the words.“Damien…” Her voice was low.He turned slightly, calm as ever, his expression unreadable.At that moment Jessica took a deep breath. “I know… I know you must’ve heard everything inside. I can’t even begin to tell you how sorry I am. I know my mom… she must have insulted you, maybe worse. And I just… I just don’t get it anymore.”However Damien didn’t speak. He simply watched her, letting her get it all out.“She keeps instigating things, pushing buttons that shouldn’t even be touched,” Jessica continued, her voice growing tighter. “And half the time, she doesn’t even care whether it’s true or not. She just… picks a side and starts attacking.”Her eyes searched his face. “And you—you’ve never raised your voice. You’ve never fought back. I just… I feel

Hearing what Jessica just said Victoria’s mouth opened, but Jessica cut her off again.“The quicker all of you start seeing that, the better. Damien’s not the enemy here. And I won’t stand here and let anyone keep trying to paint him as something he’s not.”Again Victoria swallowed her words, stunned at Jessica’s shift in tone.However Jessica stood her ground, her tone sharp but calm. “You all need to stop this. All of this—blaming, assuming, throwing words without facts—it doesn’t make sense anymore.”Her words hung in the room, but it didn’t take long for the tension to snap.Deborah shot up from her seat like she had been waiting for the right moment to explode. “Jessica, shut up already! You don’t know what you’re saying, do you?” Her voice was sharp and cold, laced with bitter frustration. “You’re defending someone who’s dragging us into a mess we may never get out of!”Immediately Jessica’s brows knitted in disbelief, but Deborah didn’t stop.“You think this is just some misund

At that moment the tension in the room had grown so thick it could be sliced with a knife. Nobody dared speak first, but it was clear the silence wouldn’t last.“They can’t say it,” Damien muttered under his breath, his eyes fixed on them. “They can’t tell me to go kneel and beg. Even though that’s exactly what they want.”Then slowly, without a word, he rose from the chair again.“If not because of Uncle Bernard,” his voice was calm, but heavy with restrained fury, “if not because of the respect I have for you… I swear, I wouldn’t have come here to sit and let your wife throw insults at me like I’m worth nothing.”His voice cracked like a whip through the silence. “But this is too much. I won’t sit here and allow Jessica—your wife—disgrace me and my family like this. I’m not taking it anymore. This is the last time.”Immediately across from him, Jessica stood too. The sharp scrape of her chair against the floor was just as loud as her rising voice.“Oh, now look at him—he’s standing

Deborah was still fuming, her voice rising with each word. “So this is what it’s all about, right? You still have grudges. All this while, pretending like you moved on, but deep down, you’ve been waiting—waiting to destroy everything Bernard built just because we took the company back!”Then her eyes narrowed, her lips curled with contempt. “Who would have thought? All that quietness was just a mask. You planned this, didn’t you? Standing there acting innocent, like you don’t know anything.”However Damien didn’t flinch. His expression remained unreadable, but his hands slowly curled into fists by his sides.Uncle Bernard cleared his throat, stepping in between them. “That’s exactly why I called him here,” he said firmly, trying to maintain some level of control. “I needed to hear it directly from him.”Before he could say more, Deborah spun on him. “Why are you even talking to him like that?” she spat. “As if he’s untouchable. As if we should bow every time he speaks!”“Enough, Debor

“So, he heard everything,” Uncle Bernard said slowly, his voice low but heavy with meaning. “And from the look of things, it seems the trouble you went to stir up... actually walks barefoot.”At that moment Damien narrowed his brows, not quite catching on. “I don’t understand, Uncle,” he said calmly. “What do you mean by ‘he walks barefoot’? What trouble are we even talking about?”He wasn’t trying to be smart—he genuinely didn’t understand what this was all about. The way his uncle and aunt stared at him with such tight expressions only made him feel more off.That was when Deborah dropped the pretense.“Oh, please shut your trap, Demian,” she snapped, standing from where she sat and pointing a finger toward him. “Stop acting clueless like you don’t know exactly what this is about.”Damien blinked, stunned at the sharpness in her voice.“You walked into that restaurant, ran your mouth, humiliated someone who wasn’t even talking to you— instead of you to mind your own business,” she s

“I heard you,” Serenity finally said, her voice low and cold. “I’ll keep your identity safe.”Her eyes didn’t meet his again. She simply turned around and walked out of the mansion with slow, heavy steps. The weight of what she had just learned made it feel like she was dragging chains behind her.She didn’t say goodbye, she didn’t even glance at Sophia grandfather again.Sliding into the driver’s seat of her car, she closed the door quietly behind her. But inside her chest, her heart was pounding like thunder.She gripped the steering wheel tightly, staring ahead through the windshield, but not really seeing anything. Her mind had started spiraling.‘Damien?’ she repeated the name silently. Damien is the Miraculous Doctor’s apprentice? Suddenly, puzzle pieces she had ignored for months started falling into place.That one time she saw him walking through the military headquarters—people acted like he belonged there. No one stopped him. No one questioned him.And with the Brain, she t
