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

    Manager Monroe wasn’t looking down on Amelia.It was just that the Cromwell family was always very low-key and didn’t like to make a fuss. The young masters of the Cromwell family, whenever they went out to the world, never revealed their true identities as Cromwell heirs. This time in LA, they were only trying to bring back the Seventh Miss quietly, without drawing attention.The idea of having his own blunder expose Mr. Cromwell’s identity had frightened him. If the other prominent families in LA found out that Mr. Cromwell had arrived, they would have swarmed him, and his health might have been jeopardized. His illness could not be exposed!Amelia, however, saw everything clearly but didn’t say anything.As a doctor, she was bound by an obligation to keep her patients’ identities confidential. Regardless of who the person was, to her, they were simply a patient.But Amelia couldn’t help feeling puzzled. Why had the Cromwell family chosen to look for their missing daughter in a smal

    “You are?” the Cromwell family’s doctor turned around at the voice.A young girl stood before him, her long black hair cascading down, biting into a piece of fruit candy. She looked quite young, but her face was so strikingly beautiful that it was hard to ignore. Her demeanor was cool, yet elegant, and a mole at the corner of her eye gave her an almost ethereal charm. Her deep, dark eyes seemed to exude a quiet but powerful presence, making anyone she looked at feel a subtle pressure.Manager Monroe quickly spoke up, “Steven, this is the little miracle doctor I brought…”“Nonsense!”Before Manager Monroe could finish, a sharp reprimand cut him off.“You greedy little girl again.” The voice of Evelyn Adler came as she slowly entered the room. Her gaze swept over Amelia, and her expression darkened. “So, you’re here to scam people because you can’t get paid, huh?”She shouted, “Who let this person in? Was there no one to check on them?”Hearing her shout, the attending doctor rushed ove

    "Do you really know medicine?"The tone was filled with shock.Evelyn Adler sneered. "Dr. Hart, it seems you're confused as well. What does this little girl know about medicine? She must have heard the symptoms from some nurse.""Dr.Adler, this young lady just arrived, and we haven’t had a chance to speak with her yet," a nurse quickly explained.Evelyn Adler glared at them. "So what? How old is she? She probably hasn’t even finished school! Does she have a medical license to be treating people?"**Smack.**Without saying another word, Amelia slammed her medical license down onto the seat. Not only that, but her medical license was for a **chief physician**—a prestigious level!Anyone who had studied medicine knew how difficult it was to achieve the rank of a chief physician.Now, who would dare say she was unqualified?The sound of the slap was like a sharp slap to Evelyn Adler's face.The doctors and nurses were stunned, unable to believe it. "Chief physician? Isn’t that the equival

    Evelyn Adler sneered, "What a fuss. She’s just from the countryside, of course, she’s familiar with the symptoms of insect bites. She’s just tricking all of you. Let her try using a scalpel and see how well she does!"Amelia didn’t reach for a scalpel. Instead, she took out a set of silver needles from her medical box.Those who had been anticipating Amelia's skills suddenly slumped, their faces filled with disappointment."Acupuncture? For such a serious illness, she’s going to use needles?""She’s taking this too lightly!""Maybe she can’t even use a scalpel. Why did Dr. Hart trust a little girl? This is going to be a disaster."Evelyn Adler grinned maliciously. "I told you, she’s just pretending. She doesn’t have any real skills. Maybe that license is even fake.""Dr. Adler is right," someone chimed in. "How can there be such a young chief physician?""Could she really be a fraud?"As people began to murmur, Amelia calmly lifted her hand and swiftly inserted the first needle!The n

    The moment he stepped into the elevator, the air around him seemed to drop to its lowest point.When he wasn’t looking at anyone, he resembled a serene Buddhist monk. But when his gaze fell on someone, it was dangerous and demonic.“Go on, speak,” he said coldly.The hospital director wiped the sweat from his forehead and nervously called out, “Young Master Jenkins, don’t worry. Our Dr. Adler is an expert in this field. With her treating Mr. Cromwell, there’s absolutely no problem!”The person who could make so many important figures nervous wasn’t anyone else but Carl, the head of the Jenkins family.Carl casually twirled the Buddhist beads on his wrist, raising an eyebrow slightly. “That’s not what I’ve heard.”“Y... Young Master Jenkins, we— we haven’t lied to you.” The vice director was now stuttering. “We wouldn’t dare delay Mr. Cromwell’s condition. After all, that’s the Cromwell family!”Carl didn’t speak further but stood tall and straight, waiting for the elevator to reach th

    By pure coincidence, no one looked away.Especially Amelia, whose gaze remained clear and unwavering, still fixed on the man's face.As a fan of handsome men, Amelia had seen many in her time, but none could compare to the man before her.His sickly pale complexion was perfectly complemented by a pair of deep, phoenix eyes that seemed endless, carrying a natural coldness in his gaze. He had the kind of air that suggested both nobility and fragility, a rare combination.Despite the noise and bustle around the hospital, it seemed to have no effect on him at all. He stood there like a noble young master from ancient times, as delicate as jade.Amelia noticed that the portly Manager Monroe immediately ran up to the man the moment he saw him, greeting him enthusiastically and saying something with great excitement.Though Amelia couldn’t hear their conversation through the medical glass, she raised an eyebrow, intrigued.The next moment, the man’s gaze shifted toward her, and the dim yello

    No way…Director Luke’s eyes widened.Could she really be choosing Carl as her live subject?How could she dare? Is she throwing her life away at such a young age?Director Luke moved slightly, trying to make himself more noticeable, “Well, how about you choose someone else…”Before he could finish his sentence, Amelia had already stepped forward, walking right up to the man.It was only then that Director Luke realized that the young girl was actually taller than him!Amelia, with her slim waist and long legs, stood at 173 cm, her enchanting eyes framed by a cold, refined beauty. Standing next to the 188 cm tall Carl, the atmosphere between them felt strangely ambiguous.The contrast between their auras was stark—one cool and distant, the other fiery and intense—like a Buddhist monk meeting a seductive demon from the mortal world.Carl, dressed in pristine clothes, stood perfectly still. As Amelia approached, a chill appeared in his eyes, like the twilight’s cool breeze.Amelia halte

    "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend," Yin Loulan said, descending the stairs in a black qipao, her gaze sweeping across the room with an imposing aura.Henry gasped. "After all these years, she’s still this fierce."Amelia raised an eyebrow. "You know her?""Jenkins family’s eldest daughter, she served in the military, and now seems to be in business," Henry explained, adding, "Don’t be reckless in front of her—she could knock you out with one punch."Amelia nodded, casually biting a fruit candy, appearing harmless.Yin Loulan was strikingly beautiful with sharp features and a strong presence, evident even in her manner of speech. She had a refined, yet formidable aura."The Jenkins family has prepared a small token for everyone," she said, clapping her hands. Immediately, a gift box appeared beside each seat. Inside were ginseng, deer antlers, cordyceps, and cash!Amelia looked at the contents, her eyes gleaming with amusement.Gu Zhongguo, sitting

    Amelia casually lifted a wooden chair with one hand and moved to a different spot. She sat with her legs slightly crossed, looking both beautiful and fierce. "Where did this ugly guy come from, and why’s he talking so much?"Ugly guy?!The atmosphere in the room froze instantly.Xiang Zichen’s expression was priceless. He seemed to not believe what he heard, his mouth trembling, “What did you say?”"Ugly guy," Amelia replied indifferently with a smile. "Did you hear me clearly? If not, go get your ears checked.""You—!" Xiang Zichen’s chest heaved in anger.Almost everyone’s face changed.Especially Mia. She clenched her hands, her brows furrowed.What was going on?Wasn’t she the one who liked Xiang Zichen the most? Mia had seen this woman beg for Xiang Zichen’s attention, even willing to sacrifice her life for him.And now...?Mia took a deep breath.Xiang Zichen, looking like a clown who couldn’t get off stage, spoke up, "Amelia, have you forgotten how you begged me last time to le

    The person who interrupted Amelia was the late-arriving Gu Zhongguo. He had been unable to use any strength in his arms due to the girl sitting in front of him—this "dead girl" had caused him a lot of trouble!Gu Zhongguo looked at Amelia and snorted coldly, “The Hart family is really ridiculous. They’ll accept anyone to their seminar.”Henry didn’t care at all. “What does that have to do with you?”Gu Zhongguo ignored him and turned to Xiang Tiancai. “Xiang, don’t blame me for not warning you. Stop associating with these useless people. You should pay attention to who this person really is.”Xiang Tiancai, who was already annoyed by Gu Zhongguo’s arrogant attitude, retorted, “I don’t care who she is. I don’t judge my friends based on their background.”Gu Zhongguo smirked, “How stupid can you be? Not only do you not recognize any drugs, but you don’t even recognize your former cousin-in-law.” He pointed at Amelia. “This is the fake daughter of the Milton family—the one they kicked ou

    The newcomer was dressed in a trendy style, with fair skin and striking features. He had a red headphone hanging around his neck, and he didn’t look like a doctor at all. He resembled someone in the rap scene instead.Without hesitation, he plopped down next to Amelia, still mumbling, "Our old man always gives me these ridiculous tasks, taking care of an old friend’s granddaughter. Like I know how to look after someone?"As he spoke, he looked Amelia up and down with an intense gaze. "Sis, you really surprised me! You’re bold, huh, even daring to reveal your background."Amelia fixed her gaze on his face for a moment, her eyes carrying an unreadable expression. "Henry?"Henry's eyes widened in surprise. Wait, the way she called him "sis" sounded so much like his boss!It must be a mistake, a mere illusion!Henry quickly checked his phone. His boss hadn't mentioned anything about attending the seminar, and the chat page still displayed that rejection message.He had known it! His wise

    Mary let out an “Ah!”But Evelyn only coldly laughed. "Where would she have gotten the invitation? It was me who sent someone with it.""You sent someone?" Mia was confused.Evelyn’s headache was growing. "the Adler family had three invitations. I intended to send a fake one, but it seems Zhong Gu got confused and sent the real one by mistake.""Well, that really worked out for that little brat!" Mary was itching with frustration. "If you’d given it to me, it would’ve been much better."Evelyn was losing her patience. "I would’ve taken you in too!"Saying that, she walked up to the bodyguards and haughtily handed over the invitation.The bodyguards examined it and then stepped aside to let her pass.At last, Evelyn managed to regain some face.But her mood quickly plummeted again.Because Mary’s loud shout echoed, "Gu laoshi! Gu laoshi! They won’t let me in!"Evelyn turned around and glared at the bodyguard who was blocking her way. "What’s going on?""Ma’am, the invitation specifies

    Amelia didn’t actually let the bodyguards take her bag. "No need to trouble yourselves. The things inside are for my medical work, I’ll carry it myself. You can go about your business."She still had to meet the "old friend’s grandson" her grandmother had mentioned, and being too flashy might complicate things.The bodyguards, understanding her, nodded politely. "Please, go ahead."Evelyn couldn’t watch this any longer. Her teeth clenched as she hissed, "Are you sure that invitation is real?""Yeah! Maybe you just didn’t see it right!" Mary shouted louder than anyone else.She knew very well the conditions of that girl—how could she possibly have a real invitation?Mia bit her lip and tugged at her mother's sleeve. "Mom, this is the Jenkins family."At that, Mary regained her composure and stopped arguing with the bodyguards. Her daughter was right—it was the Jenkins family; she couldn’t act recklessly.Zhang Long, however, didn’t share the same opinion. He always looked down on these

    Upon hearing the word "forgery," the bodyguards exchanged glances, and one of them politely said, "Miss, could you please show us your invitation?"Amelia, perceptive as ever, immediately realized there was something suspicious about the invitation. However, she wasn’t worried. If necessary, she could always reveal her true identity as a "Saint Hand."With a calm expression, Amelia casually took out the gold-embossed invitation from her black bag and handed it over.Sure enough, the bodyguards’ expressions changed dramatically when they saw it!This… this is!The crowd, observing the bodyguards' reactions, began to whisper, speculating, "Could it be that there’s something wrong with the invitation?"Zhang Long sneered with disdain. "Not only did Victoria kill people with her prescriptions, but now her disciple is a fraud as well! This is a disgrace to the medical field!"Evelyn, too, was smiling, her words dripping with arrogance. "Little girl, if you really want to go in, you could a

    In the manor’s hall, people continued to arrive, and Amelia was among them. However, her attire clearly set her apart from the rest. She wore a white shirt, jeans, and a burgundy baseball cap, looking more like an unsophisticated student than someone attending a high-profile event.The security guard at the entrance raised a hand to stop her, his tone polite. "May I ask who you are?"Before Amelia could answer, a cold laugh rang out from beside her. "A quack from Traditional medicine, and she dares to show up at the Jenkins family’s event."It was Zhang Long, who was walking alongside Evelyn, with Mia and her mother following close behind. Mia’s gaze was deliberately avoiding Amelia, clearly not wanting anyone to know they had any connection.Mary, on the other hand, glared at Amelia with pure hatred. That damn girl—she really wouldn’t go away!Amelia raised an eyebrow, her voice slow and playful. "Oh, what a small world. So many familiar faces.""Who’s familiar with you?" Zhang Long

    Unlike the previous banquet, this one wasn’t held in the city center but at a villa on the western outskirts.Amelia didn’t ride her battle axe motorcycle this time. After packing her medical kit and the invitation, she took a taxi.Was it just her imagination, or did this invitation seem a little different?As she sat in the taxi, Amelia was deep in thought.The driver, on hearing the destination, was visibly surprised. "The Caesar in the west suburbs isn’t a place just anyone can go. I’ve heard that only high-ranking figures are invited there today. Little lady, are you…?""Just going to get my face seen," Amelia answered with a soft smile, her long black hair flowing around her face.The driver chuckled. "I figured as much. A young lady like you certainly isn’t just going there to treat someone."Amelia smiled but said nothing.The Caesar Hotel had multiple branches, each with a different level of exclusivity.The one in the center of LA was open to the public, but the one in the w
