It was clear that Chris’s expression was genuinely displeased.
The reporter was stunned, and everyone else seemed awkward, especially the Remington family members who were accompanying Chris. The Remington family had always been the face of LA , and whenever there was an important public event, Mr. Remington William would inevitably become the center of attention.
But today, Chris, who came from New York, immediately put them in a tough spot.
However, as the second-in-command of Wilson Group, a company that the city held in high regard, the Remington family had no choice but to swallow their pride.
In the small alley, Emma had also seen the scene on the TV and chuckled happily: "Looks like the big boss is here again, or else that old head of the Remington family wouldn’t be smiling like that."
Amelia hung up the phone, somewhat surprised: "Emma knows the Remington family?"
"Not well. I’m
Amelia remained calm and collected: "He’s on a business trip."Emma, who was now playing the role of an ally, added: "Mrs. Victoria, I can vouch for it. I saw him get into the car with my own eyes. That car was a beauty! Six million, you know!"Amelia didn’t immediately associate the six million with the Maybach.At the moment, she was busy texting her overly attractive patient.The message was simple: *Lend me a hand.*The patient: *???*Amelia: *I’ll explain later.*The patient: *Okay.*With the patient’s consent, Amelia finally felt reassured.Mrs. Victoria was still concerned: "Such a good match… Amelia, being with him, won’t it be..."Amelia cut her off decisively: "He listens to me."Mrs. Victoria smiled: "That’s good, that’s good!"Amelia was about to let out a relieved sigh
Amelia smiled lightly: "It’s Grandma asking what you’d like to eat. She’ll make it for you when you get back."Carl also sensed something different about the little doctor today: "Grandma?"Amelia’s gaze didn’t change: "Grandma’s right here with me."Mrs. Victoria, who had been called out, felt a little embarrassed. She rubbed her nose and muttered softly: "I was just worried you might be lying to me."Amelia chuckled: "Well, do you believe me now?"Mrs. Victoria nodded, her face full of joy.People in the circle often said that the smartest member of the Jenkins family was Third Mr. Jenkins.Indeed, it was true. Carl only needed to hear two sentences before he smiled: "Grandma, what’s she been lying to you about?"He didn’t address her as "Mrs. Victoria" but, following Amelia, called her "Grandma."Mrs. Victoria became
Carl seemed to have seen through James's thoughts. He twirled a bead between his fingers, his entire demeanor cold and restrained: "Order them, and have them sent to ClearWater Alley.""Oh! Are you ordering for the little doctor?" James thought to himself that it was fine, nothing too special, especially since Young Master and the little doctor shared a bond of life-and-death friendship.However, Carl then added: "Make sure the label says 'Boyfriend'.""What?!" James almost dropped to his knees.Mr. Jenkins remained indifferent, his lips slightly parted as he spoke carelessly: "With your tolerance, how could you be an undercover agent for the Old Master?"James: *...* Being an undercover agent? That’s not something he’d want. He really couldn't figure out Mr. Jenkins. Oh, the torment!At this moment, in the domestic scene, on the bustling commercial street of LA…Chris was b
"The popularity is really high, would you like to see..."Mary interrupted her: "Mrs. Ernst, I know your family is close to the old lady, but I don’t want to hear anything about them."With that, she tossed her bag and walked off, as though just being associated with Amelia made her disgusted.Mrs. Young nudged her friend: "Why are you even talking to her about this?"Mrs. Ernst pouted: "I was just trying to warn her, not to ruin herself. But she didn’t appreciate it."The girl Mrs. Milton brought along wasn’t simple.She casually did a live stream and ended up trending on the hot search.Didn't the Crawford family think about these things? How foolish.Mary was clearly furious as she got into the car: "That damn girl is making me lose face again. Why does she have to be a livestreamer? What’s the difference between that and begging for money online? She&rs
Jackson saw how stubborn his mother was and his anger flared as well: "Mom! You’ve killed people with your medical practice, and this issue was finally settled after twenty years of silence. Now, you’re bringing attention to yourself again and dragging the Milton family into this mess, are you trying to ruin us?" "You..." Mrs. Milton raised her cane, ready to hit him! Jackson handed her a card: "Mom, you’re getting older, don’t be so stubborn. I know you don’t like when Mary talks, but she’s my wife, you should at least try to understand me, your son." Mrs. Milton gritted her teeth, her hand clenched in pain: "I’d rather not have you as my son." "Mom, don’t say such hurtful things," Jackson supported her: "That Heart Herb of ours, didn’t the Jenkins family return it? Mom, listen to me, my company is in bad shape, could you give it to me?" At this, Mrs. Milton’s chest rose and fell sharply: "I knew you’d come for the Heart Herb." "Mom, you don’t want to see the Milton family coll
The fish were too fragile—what did it have to do with him? Mrs. Milton couldn’t understand either: “Why is it that every time you go to the market, all the living creatures there start acting up?” Elijah, holding a meat bun, looked up. Mrs. Milton was changing his clothes: “Forget it, it’s just a few buckets of fish.” Amelia raised an eyebrow and glanced at the crabs in the corner, foaming at the mouth: “Grandma, I think it’s more than just a few buckets of fish.” Mrs. Milton immediately felt a headache coming on. She pinched Elijah’s little arm: “You! Hurry up and hide! Don’t let your Grandma Wendy see you.” Where could he hide? Within just a few minutes, Grandma Wendy arrived at the door. "Elijah!" Grandma Wendy, chubby and with her hands on her hips, was a force to be reckoned with. Elijah almost stood up but was leisurely pressed back down by Amelia. Elijah gestured: What if she bullies Grandma? Amelia shot him a glance: “They’re just old friends bickering. No need to m
The barrage of comments was scrolling too fast, and Amelia was still helping Grandma Victoria adjust the mic. Grandma Victoria asked, "What are they saying? Should I wear my glasses to read it?" Amelia smiled and said, "They're all supporting you." She then looked at the screen and continued, "Thanks to ‘No Failing’ for the gift. Don’t let your guard down just because you're feeling better. Thanks to all the friends who followed my channel. As usual, we’ll be doing a live consultation today, three people, free of charge." **[Sister’s So Pretty]**: "Did the host really bring her grandma here?" **[Big Spender]**: "Another setup. Boring!" **[Sentimental Guy]**: "Host: ‘The script is ready. Let’s see how well I can act real.’" **[Pikachu Cat]**: "If you think the host is acting, check out yesterday’s replay. A medical professor was here. Thanks." **[Big Spender]**: "Is this really hard? Professors show up if you pay them." Grandma Victoria understood: "Is this saying we’re faking
The live stream chat exploded with excitement. Previously, Amelia was in third place for local popularity, but now her ranking had reached nationwide recognition. The room administrator couldn’t help but marvel at their foresight. Contentedly, they looked over the signing contract for "AngelHall" and confirmed their participation in the competition. Every year, the platform selects the top ten most popular streamers. Those in the top ten receive monetary rewards, ranging from one million to one hundred thousand, and they also get the chance to attend the annual event in the capital city. Seeing that Amelia wasn’t particularly interested in these accolades, the administrator decided to click through and vote for her in all of them. In their opinion, this newcomer had a good chance of making it into the top ten! Of course, she couldn’t compare to the big-name streamers, who had established fanbases. But Amelia's rapid rise in popularity meant she was bound to attract attention, esp
The receptionist was acting strangely. It was as if they didn't even recognize her anymore. She had to ask for permission just to enter her own company. But overall, Mary was still in a good mood. The massive live stream traffic was almost hers, and soon, she’d be making money in her sleep. This small setback didn’t bother her. "You know, when I gave that girl face before, letting her leave and even giving her money—now that I think about it, I should’ve dealt with her like this. If she’d gone to jail, she’d have learned that without the Milton family, she’s nothing." Mary placed her coffee cup on the table, a smug look on her face. Jackson didn’t care about anything else. He only cared about one thing: "Did you go see the old lady? What did she say?" "What could she say? Of course, she’s going to try and save her," Mary said lazily,
Any article or video related to the girl, any reposts or clicks—Orange Entertainment made money. The more people discussed her, the more they hated her, the more money they made. It was an innocent disaster for the girl. Strawberry_d sued them for defamation, but it was all in vain. Tracking down the real identities of the internet trolls was unrealistic. Moreover, the law couldn’t punish the masses. There were so many people attacking her online. In the end, Strawberry_d broke down, saying, "Is it only when I’m dead that you’ll believe me?" Orange Entertainment took full advantage of the situation, spreading more rumors. "People who threaten to kill themselves never really do." "She’s just pretending to be unbearable." "Go ahead and die, let’s see." Such comments flooded the girl, drowning her i
"Of course," Director Noah’s eyes were sharp. he shuddered inside and confessed everything about their plans. He didn’t know the details about the online aspect, but the so-called "drug-induced coma" witness was indeed arranged by him. The plan was created by Mary. They intended to strike when the live stream of Harmony Clinic went live, at its peak viewership. They would arrest people on-site! In this way, regardless of whether Amelia was convicted in the end, her reputation as a medical practitioner would be tarnished forever! After all, this young girl came from a remote village. How could she possibly resist? Resistance would be seen as not cooperating with law enforcement. Once they took her into the station, how they dealt with Amelia would depend on her "attitude" or how well she could beg Mary to be satisfied. No matter the result, they could tear Ameli
"I’ve been through it, I understand. Once the case is filed, it’ll follow her for the rest of her life. She’s still young, and just starting her medical studies. She can’t have her future ruined like this."Mary was fully aware of this, which is why she was so confident.Grandma Victoria would definitely give her the live stream account.In Grandma Victoria’s heart, her granddaughter’s future was more important than anything else."Where do I sign?" Grandma Victoria’s voice was flat.Mary smiled brightly, guiding her: "Here, and here. After you sign, just leave your fingerprint.""How can you prove you can keep Amelia safe?" Grandma Victoria was cautious on this point. "Just mentioning the Crawford family? The Crawford family is in the capital, how can they interfere in LA ?"Mary cursed in her heart when she heard this. Grandma Victoria was difficult to handle."Of course, I’m not just mentionin
Grandma Victoria was extremely anxious.After all, three hours had already passed.She had no idea what was happening at the police station right now.She had tried asking around, but everyone said the situation was complicated.Mary was indeed clever, and she knew how to pick the perfect moment.She deliberately chose to act when Amelia wasn’t around—she considered that quiet little mute girl to be an inconvenience.Mary wasn’t in a hurry. She just casually scrolled on her phone in front of Grandma Victoria: "Mom, look at this—how many people online are criticizing you.""This matter with Amelia isn’t going to end so easily. Think about it carefully—she assaulted an officer!"Mary tapped on a comment: "Look at this one. It’s so accurate. A poor girl who rose to fame online dares to look down on the heroes of the people. Such streamers should all be arrested and sentenced to a heavy crime!"Grandm
Now, the middle-aged woman has already collapsed.When she took the money, she didn't say anything about Mr. Jones, or about any secretaries.She's uneducated and doesn't understand some of these terms.But she's not stupid!Anyone who can make Director Michael kowtow and beg to kneel down must be a big shot!How dare she speak up? She just wanted to leave while the gods were fighting.But unfortunately, this girl stood in a position that blocked her way, whether intentionally or unintentionally!The middle-aged woman looked at Amelia with reluctance!Amelia's words carried a hint of laughter: "The plaintiff is here, and I, the defendant, am also here. Mr. Johnson, Vice Mayor Jones, and Garrett to join in the trial together."Together?!Caleb feared this situation the most!If they really tried it together, nothing would be hidden anymore!Garrett glanced at him, with a natural aura of authority: "What does Vice Mayor Jones think?"He wanted to know how deep the waters of LA really were.Whether
“You can’t arrest him, no matter what!” Even the usually calm Vice Mayor Jones was riled up, his temper flaring.Michael was quite unique in this situation. He looked at Director Johnson and said, "Director Johnson, you know how diligent I usually am."At this moment, Caleb didn't want to hear any more of it. "Enough, Michael! Take him away!"He had originally planned to tidy up things before the new Secretary-General arrived, trying to cover up as much as he could and making sure everything was in order. He’d even given some tips here and there.As long as the water was deep enough, Garrett wouldn’t be able to find anything, and the new official wouldn't be able to make a big show.But now! This was practically giving the other side a reason to conduct a thorough investigation!He couldn’t let Michael talk any longer!The interrogators had already begun their actions. But just then, standing in the
In the circle, Mia had always maintained an image of a humble, orphaned girl.This was to emphasize her talent.Even when Jackson came looking for her, she claimed he was just a distant relative.Jackson had relied on this daughter to become a small contractor.Everyone’s impression of her stemmed from her perceived innocence and politeness, and she was seen as somewhat pitiful.As a young person new to the capital, she was in need of help, and some older people just wanted to assist her.However, no one expected that she was actually backed by the Crawford family!Now, it was clear that the Crawford family wanted to distance themselves from the Adler family ’s troubles and had cast her aside.Scholars exchanged glances, silently distancing themselves from her.Evelyn was still conducting investigations in LA . Adler had been very influential in the capital’s circles, but now he wasn’t even allowe
Garrett’s voice was cold: “Are you asking us to bribe you?”He knew LA was chaotic, but he never imagined that these people would dare to be so brazen!What had Vice Mayor Jones told him on the phone yesterday?He had claimed that LA had already solved these problems!Garrett clenched his fists. As far as he was concerned, everything here needed to be investigated!The experienced officer casually leaned back. “Accusing law enforcement of wrongdoing right off the bat? I don’t think we need to continue this interrogation!”With that, he put down his pen and stared at the three people.These three were difficult to handle. Even if they were interrogated together, there would be no result by nightfall.The officer’s gaze shifted, landing on Amelia. That was it.He didn’t believe that a young girl like her could withstand their methods of torture and forced confessions!
