"What was that?" Lukas asked in surprise."Faye's prescription is problematic? That's impossible ...""It must be a mistake on your part. Faye is a miracle doctor," Lukas said, his expression turning dark. More significantly, Victor had turned down numerous doctors but consented to Faye's treatment. Didn't that alone testify to Faye's remarkable skills? Lukas didn't care about others, but when it came to Victor, whom he respected the most, and Faye, the lady he admired, he would defend them no matter what."Umm ..." Captain Zims hadn't anticipated Lukas's intense reaction and was momentarily at a loss."Is there a misunderstanding here?" Victor interjected calmly. Despite not fully understanding Faye, he instinctively chose to trust her. Faye's willingness to take on his case and establish conditions for his own well-being convinced Victor of her reliability. Moreover, she'd already saved his life before without demanding anything in return."Well, perhaps we should meet Ms.
The captain turned his gaze toward Faye. "Ms. Brown, are you acquainted with the heir of the Cawsway family?"Faye lazily shook her head. "I don't know him."Acknowledging her response with a nod, the captain signaled his subordinates to bring in Hannah. Upon her entrance, Hannah immediately pointed at Faye and yelled, "It's her, it's her! She confessed to giving me that prescription.""Officer, Mr. Cawsway, I'm truly innocent. She framed me. Sob, I'm a victim here," she pleaded.In contrast to Matt's calm demeanor, Hannah appeared much more disheveled. Her clothes were messy, her hair unkempt, and her face worn out. Her dramatic entrance, loudly accusing Faye, clashed with the indifferent atmosphere of the onlookers, earning her disapproving looks.A single action could reveal a person's character. Therefore, Chief Janaway already had a poor impression of Hannah. Looking at her pitiful display, he furrowed his brow."I don't know why she's receiving such courtesy from the lead
Matt was convinced.The Cawsway family was prominent in the field of medicine. While not everyone in the family pursued a career as doctors, each member possessed a fundamental understanding of medical principles, regardless of their ages. Others might be uncertain about the potential toxicity of combining medicinal materials, but Matt wasn't. He was sure that this medicine was non-toxic.Not only was it devoid of toxicity, but it was also an exceptionally rare and effective prescription for addressing a range of injuries. This remedy not only facilitated rapid healing but also yielded remarkable results by leaving no scars.Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so enthusiastic and immediately purchase it for his research.As the future heir of the family, Matt had been diligently studying medicine. Although his family had many ancient prescriptions in their possession, most were incomplete. Even after years of research, he still hadn't fully deciphered them.Matt was friends with
Cedric, who had been silent all along, felt somewhat displeased as he observed the intense gaze of Matt. He stood in front of Faye and said coldly, "So, the prescription itself isn't the problem. It's just that someone couldn't resist temptation, selling it without the owner's consent and without grasping the specific nuances of its usage. "The Cawsway family's pharmacy lacks the necessary expertise. You knew enough to tell the prescription was good but failed to comprehend its true essence. You sold the medicine recklessly, which caused this series of events."Although Cedric's summary was simple, it clarified the entire course of the case. At this point, it would be impossible for Hannah to claim that she wasn't wrong. After hearing these words, the police had a clearer understanding of the whole incident and the truth was so evident that it couldn't be swayed by what a few people said. "Well done, Mr. Shaw!" Chief Janaway stood up, applauding fervently with admiration in hi
Avery could be as stubborn as an ox sometimes. For the sake of her pride, she would always put herself in difficult positions. Despite being wounded, she refused to bow or cave. However, she reverted back to a wilful child when she was with Faye. She held back tears and lowered her head, trying to contain her emotions. The pressure of getting injured and having to prepare for the opening dance weighed down on her, but she somehow managed to hold on because she was well aware of the purpose she served. She hadn't completed her goal yet, so she couldn't give up or collapse. Still, whenever she was with Faye, she could let go of all her pretenses and turn to Faye for directions. No matter how strong she was, she was merely human. And as a woman, she had taken on far too much by herself. When she was alone, she would feel engulfed by helplessness and exhaustion. Faye was the only one who could get her to let her guard down. "You are indeed quite wilful, I guess." Faye s
Avery had never been one to show mercy. Before meeting Faye, she had always known how to protect herself from harm. She was beautiful and had a great figure because she was a dancer. Hence, wherever she went, she was the center of attention and at the same time—the focus of malicious intent. She only managed to come so far because she knew how to protect herself and understood that mercy shown to an enemy was a form of cruelty toward herself. When faced with betrayal, she would never show mercy. Hannah had betrayed her and set Faye up over the smallest temptation, so there was no way that Avery would forgive her. And then there was Marie as well. Avery picked up her phone and made a call. A low voice responded on the other end of the line and she laid on bed, her voice cold and distant. "Tell Marie that Hannah has been arrested and might rat her out. Then send someone to the police station to pay Hannah a visit."Marie was a sensitive and distrustful person, so if she le
When Faye arrived at the studio, each dance room was still occupied with people practicing. Avery's studio had been operating for so many years that it operated like a well-oiled machine.Even if Avery was absent for a month, the studio could still operate normally. Faye didn't visit here often, but the control system here was designed by Faye years ago, so she could come and go easily.She made her way to the dedicated practice room for Avery. Before entering, she heard some noises from inside."See, I told you Ms. Stewart won't come here these days. Let's just use her practice room.""If we're discovered by the seniors, we'll be in big trouble.""Don't worry, everyone is busy with the dance competition. Let's make good use of this time to practice here. We'll surely do better with ample space.""Yeah, let's continue. We must achieve good results in tomorrow's dance competition."With these words, they started playing music and began practicing together.Faye didn't immediatel
After clearing others out of the room, Faye stayed in the room to practice. She was the one who wrote the music and choreographed part of the dance, so the routine was hardly challenging for her. Still, Faye was a perfectionist. Considering how important the opening dance was for Avery, she couldn't take this lightly and aimed not only to complete the performance but to impress everyone in the room. She wasn't Avery, so she needed to be so brilliant that no one dared to say a word about the performance. Faye knew she needed to do well enough to prevent unnecessary troubles. She had always been the type of person who would do her best in whatever she was doing, so there was no space for failure or excuses. Faye practiced all the way until midnight and didn't prepare to leave until Cedric called her. As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw a figure flashing by the stairway at such speed that she almost thought she was hallucinating. A light that flickered shut added
