Mia continued to speak softly, “This older sister, on behalf of my mother, I apologize. Since you don’t want the money, please don’t follow the Milton family anymore. You have your own hands and feet, you can support yourself. I’m just afraid that my mother’s way of doing things might hurt your pride.”Her words were polite and appropriate, earning praise from those around them.People looked at Mia, then at Amelia, and thought there was a world of difference between them. Mia was graceful and kind, like a little fairy. Amelia, on the other hand, seemed petty, with a sinister mind.The crowd behind the elderly couple shook their heads.Seeing this, Amelia’s lips curled into a faint smile, and her clear eyes seemed capable of seeing through everything.Mia, however, avoided Amelia’s gaze. For some reason, she felt a little afraid of this “older sister” who didn’t follow the usual rules.Was she resentful because she had been kicked out of the Milton family? Was she trying to take reven
Jackson saw that no one was around and stopped pretending to be kind: “From today on, let’s pretend we never raised you. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways!”Amelia didn’t respond, too lazy to bother with this family anymore.However, Director Noah, who had ridden over on an electric bike to find someone, wasn’t pleased. He stopped the bike, furrowing his brows slightly: “Comrade, how can you speak to … Amelia like that? So rude.”Amelia, the miraculous doctor, had always been low-profile. Once outside the compound, he only allowed them to call him Amelia.Director Noah had almost slipped up earlier and almost called her something else.Jackson misunderstood and glanced at Director Noah. “Is this your real father? Riding an old electric bike?”He couldn’t even afford a decent car—no wonder Amelia had ended up so insignificant. Someone from a rural village couldn’t be expected to do anything impressive, especially still wearing a traditional suit in this day and age.Jackson’s con
"I thought they were here for a consultation," Director Noah murmured softly.Amelia didn’t think much of it. She simply lowered her head to send a message declining a consultation request. Lately, many people had come to the neighborhood asking for her services, including some from neighboring cities and counties. It wasn’t strange for Director Noah to think that way, especially since her biological parents were from River County."Director Noah, let’s head back. We shouldn’t keep Uncle Lee and the others waiting," Amelia said."Alright," Director Noah replied with a smile and a nod.One said little, the other asked nothing. A beautiful misunderstanding was born from their interaction.Outside the Community the Cromwell family was in a panic.Several of the Cromwell family’s young masters had work to attend to, so they had to return first.Mr. Cromwell sat in a New York-registered business car, looking grim. "Didn’t they say the seventh young lady lives here? Why is everyone saying t
"Yes, Mr. Milton, they specifically asked to see the fake young lady. They want to know her whereabouts now," the butler, who had been the first to kick Amelia out earlier, reported.Jackson thought about the shabby electric bike from earlier and felt a wave of irritation. "No wonder she didn’t want the money. She must think it’s too little and wants to cling to the Milton family!""This family really has no shame!" the butler growled. "I’ll go take care of this. I’m great at dealing with these clingy pests!"Jackson, always thinking a few steps ahead, warned, "Just don’t make it too ugly. the Milton family has a reputation to maintain.""Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing," the butler assured him.Jackson hung up the phone and continued inside to toast with the guests. In a little while, Mia would officially apprentice under the Adler family, and with their prestige in the medical world, she would inevitably get close to the Jenkins family. His career would then be smooth sailing.At
The old man had only been passing by and, seeing someone getting treatment, thought he might try his luck. He never expected to be cured. When he learned that Amelia charged him nothing, he almost kneeled down to thank her.Amelia stopped him, gently wiping her hands. "Old man, this isn’t a serious illness. It’s just a simple bone adjustment. Traditional medicine treats it like this.""Simple bone adjustment?" The old man looked confused. "But Dr.Adler said I need surgery! He said the surgery would cost a million."A million?The number made everyone around frown. For ordinary people, that amount could be a financial disaster."What is this Dr.Adler doing?! Robbing people?!" Emma was the first to express her displeasure. As someone who had been in leadership, she was particularly concerned about the suffering of the common people.Others were also upset, and one of them turned to Director Noah. "little Noah, you need to handle this properly!"Director Noah was wiping sweat from his br
If the "Saint Doctor" no longer chose to assist the Adler family in LA, which family would they choose instead?With this question in mind, other prominent families began to stir, eagerly sending private messages to Amelia.The most prominent was Young Master Hart: "Boss, you made the right call. It was time to cooperate with another family! Our Hart family’s fortune is finally here!"Amelia didn’t respond to any of the messages.After issuing the expulsion notice, she turned off her phone again and resumed her free medical consultations. No one could have guessed that the young girl sitting in the plaza, treating people, was the legendary "Saint Doctor" who could shake the winds of LA!Meanwhile, the so-called Dr.Adler, Evelyn Adler, was in a private room at the Caesar Hotel, taking on disciples. Although today’s encounter with the reckless young girl had been frustrating, the Milton family had been accommodating, which helped soothe her nerves.At the dinner table, Mary was sweetly
But Evelyn held herself back. Being sharp as ever, she would never openly reveal the crumbling state of the Adler family in front of everyone.What she needed to do now was stabilize these smaller families: "You're right. Everyone knows how powerful the Adler family has been in the medical field these years. But on such a happy occasion, it's bad luck to let this kind of thing get out."Jackson, being a businessman, felt that something about this situation was strange.Mary, however, was worried that the apprenticeship might fall through, so she continued flattering Evelyn: "Of course! Master Adler has even won awards abroad! When she’s back in the country, she’ll cure everyone effortlessly!"Evelyn didn’t mention that her award-winning drug analysis had been assisted by Serene Health Pavilion. She simply sighed, "Mary, we need to stay low. the Adler family has its flaws too. For example, in the treatment of Young Master Jenkins, we lacked a key herb, the Heart Herb. Otherwise, we wou
"Miss! Seventh Miss! I've finally found you!"Manager Monroe, with his strong New York accent, was so excited that his beer belly jiggled with every word.Amelia turned to look at him. He was dressed in an expensive suit, not tall but exuding a businesslike air.She didn’t recognize him from her circle.Amelia raised her hand to grab her bag, her brow slightly furrowed, "You’ve mistaken me for someone else.""Mis... mistaken?" Manager Monroe repeated her words in a deflated tone. Seeing how outstanding this young woman was—her striking looks and elegant demeanor—he had mistaken her for the Seventh Miss he was supposed to pick up.Now, looking back, he realized how foolish he had been.The information from River County hadn’t mentioned anything about the Seventh Miss being a doctor. This young woman, with such remarkable medical skills, couldn’t possibly be the one he was looking for. If she were really the Seventh Miss, the Milton family wouldn’t have overlooked such an important deta
The voice in her ear was like fine wine going down her throat, making her feel tipsy and entranced.His hands, unlike the rest of him, exuded an unexpected heat, as though they were burning her skin.From Amelia's position, she couldn't see his face, but she could feel his breath on the back of her neck, sending a tingling sensation down her spine.He didn't smoke, so there was no trace of tobacco on him. But perhaps due to his frequent use of medication, a faint scent of sandalwood wafted from him, almost hypnotic.She often smelled medicine, but it seemed that only his scent was strangely pleasant.His hand still gripped hers, and as his body leaned slightly down, his presence became even stronger, impossible to ignore.Amelia's heart jolted, a sensation both unfamiliar and vaguely familiar, something she couldn't quite place.She raised an eyebrow, about to push him away.But before she could, he released her hand first, his
“You can get it for free, but others can’t…”Before, the man’s lips were cold, but now there was a hint of a smile.“Won’t,” Carl, who was usually a high-and-mighty figure in the capital city, the domineering Mr. Jenkins , spoke casually, and the coldness in his eyes dissipated significantly. “Smith, pay up.”Smith, realizing what was happening, quickly pulled out his bank card, still a bit flustered.“Give more.” Carl’s voice was light, though it still carried the unshakable aura of someone who had long been in a powerful position.Amelia glanced at him, then turned her attention to the obedient Smith. “Friend?”Carl didn’t hide anything. “Colleague from the branch office.”“Right! Colleague!” Smith straightened up and corrected his posture.Amelia didn’t seem to care much. “We don’t accept
“Mm, I agreed.” Amelia’s posture was lazy, not at all bothered by his question.However, Carl subtly furrowed his brows. He wanted to invest, but she refused. Yet she accepted that anonymous Mr. Lee’s offer…Carl seemed to smile slightly, bending closer to her. The coolness of his aura, mixed with a hint of medicinal fragrance, drifted into Amelia’s nostrils. As the weather turned cooler, his presence also felt colder. “Why didn’t you choose me?”Amelia raised her eyes, confusion in her gaze, yet she offered a reasonable explanation. “Wilson Group is planning to invest in the pharmaceutical industry. After discussing it, everything seemed to align. The Cromwell family’s business is mostly overseas, and it’s not suitable for traditional medicine.”Her explanation sounded flawless.But Carl’s smile deepened, his eyes still devoid of warmth. His fingers idly toyed wit
If she wanted to ruin someone online, Mary had plenty of ways to do it!Carl slowly glanced at James, then turned his attention back to the scene.As the top bodyguard, James immediately understood that Mr. Jenkins wanted him to follow Mary.But Amelia subtly blocked his way, smiling gently. "Grandma said to let them go."James hesitated and raised his head.“Listen to her,” Carl’s voice was calm, as if this was the most normal thing in the world.Smith was absolutely shocked. When had Mr. Jenkins ever listened to someone else’s words?Who was this young lady? What was her background?!Amelia, biting a fruit candy, her long black hair flowing, casually responded, “We should give people a chance to change their ways. I’m quite magnanimous.”“Oh?” Carl raised an eyebrow, his fingers twirling the beads on his wrist, clearly skeptical of her statement.
Amelia had put real force into that kick.Jackson lay curled up on the ground, his mouth full of blood.Mary, terrified, didn’t dare say a word. Her face turned pale.Amelia’s eyes glinted with hostility as she bent down and yanked him up. Her voice was low, but her tone was cold. “I never wanted to lay a hand on anyone in front of Grandma, but someone like you really deserves a beating.”Jackson shrank back, looking toward Victoria. “Mom, do something! Mom!”“Now you call me ‘Mom’?” Amelia’s eyes turned crimson as she lifted his face. “When you kicked Grandma out, why didn’t you remember I was your mother?”*Boom!*Amelia kicked him again, her aura so fierce that it frightened everyone in the alley.She had been suppressing herself for too long, always pretending to be something she wasn’t.She was never a good person, and now, tha
Jackson instinctively glanced behind Amelia, wondering why Mr. Lee wasn’t there.Amelia smiled nonchalantly. "Looking for someone?"Jackson feigned a hypocritical smile. "Amelia, there’s been a misunderstanding between us.""What misunderstanding?" Amelia's lips curled slightly. "Is it the misunderstanding where you almost killed me, or the one where you wanted me to go back to the countryside?"The onlookers started murmuring, shocked by their behavior. "Is this how parents treat their children?"Mary could no longer tolerate the gossip from the neighborhood women and exploded. "She’s not even our biological daughter! What else do you want from us? Should we just pamper her? She's like a sticky plaster that can’t be shaken off!"When Jackson saw how she was acting, he realized things were going south and quickly pulled her back."Don’t say anything more," Jackson said, warning her with a look. "Don&rsquo
“Of course, I didn’t say anything!” The middle-aged woman stood on the hillside, looking around cautiously. Her voice now carried a sense of wariness. “Didn’t you tell us before you left, not to share any information about you two with anyone?”Mia squinted her eyes. “What if they offer money to make you speak?”“We took their money.” The middle-aged woman smirked strangely. “But we gave them false information. Anyway, there’s someone else paying, and they don’t want anyone to find her.”Only then did Mia completely relax with a sigh of relief. “Mom, you did the right thing.”The middle-aged woman wasn’t just anyone—she was Grace, the woman who had swapped the babies all those years ago.It had been so long since Grace had heard “Mom” from Mia that tears started welling up in her eyes. “Mia, your dad and I have been doing wh
Even if she hadn’t lent the money, this live stream should be hers!With that thought in mind, Mary stood up, deciding she couldn’t stay at the massage session any longer.At that exact moment, Jackson called her, urging her to come home quickly. He was still living in a dream, happily recounting what had happened today.Mary ground her teeth, her heart filled with resentment. “I should’ve slashed her face when she left!”Jackson furrowed his brow. “I told you, I just want you to spend more time with the old lady. If she’s happy, she’ll surely have that girl speak well of us.”“She's so easy, even flirting with old men in her livestream,” Mary sneered. “No wonder she’s getting so many donations. It must be from Mr. Lee.”Now it made sense. Otherwise, she would have truly thought that girl had some kind of amazing skill, relying on her medical knowledge to mak
Mrs. LuLu, playing the mediator, interjected, “Look at this new fund I bought—hasn’t shown any increase. Wasn’t Wilson Group supposed to invest in the medical field? Why haven’t we heard anything? This Mr. Lee is probably just pulling a smokescreen.”“Have you met Mr. Lee?” Mary straightened up immediately, not forgetting her main purpose for being here. “Did he say anything?”Mrs. Ernst laughed. “Do you think we can just meet him anytime we want? Even Old Ye can’t meet him so easily.”Mary sneered. “Our family has already been working with Wilson Group. Mr. Lee’s assistant, Ken, has been a friend of my husband for years. It shouldn’t be hard to meet him.”Mrs. Ernst didn’t bother responding to her, dismissing her words as mere boasting.Mary was about to say more when Mrs. LuLu, still looking at her phone, suddenly exclaimed, “Harmony
