Amelia stood tall, her figure graceful, with a chilling smile at the corner of her eyes. "That's right, it’s cordyceps. When storing cordyceps, it’s important to avoid strong light, and the temperature should not exceed 20°C. The current temperature indoors is 24°C, with strong ultraviolet light. I put it in my bag to preserve its medicinal value. Surely, the Adler family wouldn’t lack this basic knowledge of medicine, would they?"As soon as these words were spoken, the room erupted into a commotion!Gu Zhongguo continued sneering. "I’m hearing nonsense from you...""Zhongguo, shut up!" Evelyn snapped, her voice cutting through the noise.Gu Zhongguo froze, turning to look at his aunt’s expression. Then he glanced around at the eyes staring back at him. Suddenly, his face grew pale.Could it be... that this little girl was actually right?"Hahaha, as expected from a disciple of Victoria, she has some in
"Everyone, please follow me!"Yin Loulan raised her hand, and hidden doors in the mansion began to shift.One by one, consultation rooms appeared before everyone's eyes.The doctors were required to treat patients in their assigned groups.Evelyn was the first to make a move, unable to wait any longer to show the world the Adler family's prowess—especially that arrogant little girl!It was clear that the patients brought in by the Jenkins family were indeed difficult to treat.Each group that went in and came out had a serious expression, and their time inside was long.Except for the Gu and Xiang families, who came out with smiles, even Yun Lingfeng seemed to be struggling, but at least he had written a prescription.Many of the others were still unclear about the diagnosis and began whispering to each other, like students discussing their answers after an exam."What exactly was the third patient’s conditio
"All done." She lifted her bag.The patient raised an eyebrow. "That’s it? Little… doctor, you didn’t even ask me what other symptoms I have besides the headache, or whether I have any underlying conditions. You didn’t even look at the images on the table, and yet you jumped to a conclusion—this is absurd."Amelia placed her pen back in the pen holder and smiled lightly. "You’re fine. No need to ask further."But Yun Xiao grabbed her and pulled her back. "No, sis, it’s only been five minutes! Let’s check again, okay? Look at the other groups; they spent at least twenty minutes on the first patient!""It’s not important." Amelia raised her hand in a carefree manner and decisively pressed the confirmation bell.The people outside the consultation room were still discussing the "answer," and when they saw how quickly they came out, they all burst into laughter."Such a short time, they coul
"Yixin Hall!"Yin Loulan looked at Amelia, a smile hidden in her eyes.As soon as the result was announced, the entire hall fell silent.Everyone stared, wide-eyed in disbelief. "Yixin Hall is first? How is that possible?"Xiang Yifeng’s face changed, and Evelyn couldn’t contain herself, snatching the note from Yin Loulan’s hand. It clearly read "Yixin Hall!"Mia’s smile vanished. How could this be? Could that woman really be good at medicine?In an instant, all eyes turned toward Amelia, Henry, and Yun Xiao.Yun Xiao, as a self-proclaimed medical failure, had never received such attention. Even his hand, which had been yawning, stopped.Henry was in a daze. Were they really first?Only Amelia remained calm and composed, her gaze light, neither hurried nor flustered.Evelyn couldn’t tolerate losing in front of everyone to an unknown wild girl. She clenched the note tightly and steadie
"Grandfather," Yin Loulan stepped forward.The bodyguards in black lined up in a row, standing solemnly on either side of the elder.In order to feign illness, Old Master Yin had his head wrapped in bandages. At this moment, he dramatically pulled them off, giving Amelia a meaningful glance before turning to face the crowd.The Jenkins family, known for their generations of loyalty, carried a heavy and imposing aura. When Old Master Yin's gaze swept over them, it seemed to weigh heavily on everyone's hearts."I heard your discussion just now from the consultation room," Old Master Yin stood as firm as a pine tree, his eyes sharp like those of a tiger. "Yixin Hall is first. It is well-deserved."Who would dare refute the words of Old Master Yin himself?Xiang Yifeng, who had been questioning the reasoning behind the diagnosis earlier, immediately fell silent.Evelyn, trying to save face, forced a smile and said, "We didn't realize it w
Mia bit her lip and shook her head. "It’s not my sister’s fault. the Milton family has undergone such great changes that she couldn’t accept it."Though this explanation seemed harmless, it was, in fact, a subtle attack on Amelia.Xiang Zichen furrowed his brow. "Mia, speak up. Don't be afraid. We are here, and she won’t be able to bully you!""She hasn’t bullied me!" Mia stretched her neck, lowering her eyes in a delicate, vulnerable way. "She just misunderstood us. The Gu and Ye families have a good relationship. My teacher took me as his disciple, and my father, in return, gave the the Heart Herb to the Adler family as a gesture of thanks, and then..."Xiang Zichen sneered, "And then she just comes here stirring up trouble for no reason!""Zichen, calm down," Evelyn interjected, maintaining a gracious demeanor. "Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, it’s fine. Otherwise, people might think the Adler family
Amelia didn’t say a word. She simply bit down on a piece of fruit candy, her long, jet-black hair cascading down, her gaze directed towards the grandfather clock in the hall.Evelyn, thinking that Amelia had given up, sat back confidently, still holding Mia's hand.Yet Mia, for reasons she couldn’t explain, felt her heart racing. Perhaps it was because the man she was about to see would soon be here...She lowered her gaze, staring at the wooden box. Sure enough, the the Heart Herb was the key to the Jenkins family’s door.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Old Master Yin extended his hand and carefully lifted the wooden box. People were envious and were about to congratulate Evelyn.But then, Old Master Yin spoke in a low voice, "Although my Jenkins family is not without faults, we would never steal from others. Life and death are fated, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven. The the Heart Herb is indeed rare, but my Je
People were still caught up in the wave of admiration for the Adler family.Bang!The heavy sound of a door being kicked open echoed through the hall!A group of plainclothes officers burst in suddenly, as if executing some special mission. They rushed forward and pinned Evelyn and Gu Zhongguo to the ground!The officers moved so quickly and decisively, their actions fierce and precise.Gu Zhongguo continued shouting, “Who are you people? How dare you treat us, the Adler family, like this…”The leader raised his hand and flashed his ID. “Supreme Action Group!”The Supreme Action Group?Everyone was stunned!How could the Supreme Action Group be here?Elder Yin raised an eyebrow but didn’t speak, his wise eyes observing everything silently.Amelia remained unmoved, still standing in the shadowed area where the camera couldn’t reach, casually sucking on a candy, her
“What?” Carl asked, his wrist adorned with a crimson bead, looking as noble and cool as ever.The combination of his refined appearance and well-tailored suit created an almost destructive allure.Amelia reached out, her fingertip grazing his diamond cufflink, her smile turning slightly seductive. “How about I bite you?”She would never have asked for such a thing before.Whenever her anger flared up due to her condition, she would hold it in, using cold water to cool her head.But for some reason, when faced with him, she found herself unconsciously wanting to test if his neck was as cold as it looked.Most people would refuse such a request.But Carl chuckled softly. “Bite where?”“On the neck,” Amelia replied, her voice already tinged with impatience. Her tongue slid over her lips, a carefree and beautiful smile playing on her face.Carl wrapped his arm around her waist
The scene of two people who were evenly matched yet strangely well-matched left Smith speechless, unable to say a single word.He had been following his boss for so many years and had never seen anyone break through the cold, aloof barrier that surrounded him.But then, this girl came along. No soft words or sweet talk, just a low laugh mixed with beauty, and she wasn't afraid of their boss at all. She even mocked his calligraphy.She probably had never seen their boss covered in blood, cold and violent.Every time the boss dealt with someone, even those who followed him trembled in fear.But the boss always acted with reason, rewarding or punishing according to the situation.Still, there had never been anyone brave enough to get close to him like this.Amelia didn’t invite them to stay for dinner because she could clearly see the exhaustion on the man’s handsome face.Instead, she prepared some mushroom and vegeta
*Thump, thump, thump...*The sound was deep and steady, completely different from his frail body.Who would have imagined that this was the heartbeat of someone whose life was believed to be short-lived?It was as if his outwardly perfect appearance mattered less than the heart within.Amelia stopped in her tracks, raising her eyes slightly.The man withdrew his hand, seemingly lost in thought, his lips curling into a faint smile. But the next moment, he turned and started coughing. His pale lips almost blended with his skin, and his weak appearance only served to add to his dangerous allure. "Grandmother agreed.""Agreed?" Amelia was about to ask what he meant.The man turned and walked briskly, his suit sharp and his back as striking as a work of art.Amelia followed, thinking he was leaving.But then, he suddenly stopped.Caught off guard, Amelia's nose bumped into his back—hard and cold, and all she coul
Perhaps the tea had been steeped for too long, leaving a lingering bitterness on her tongue, and the flavor hung in her throat, refusing to dissipate.It was hard to imagine that someone like her had ever called anyone "older brother" when she was little.Carl seemed to smile faintly. There was nothing unusual in his expression, but his dark eyes were deep and distant. His demeanor remained impeccable as he spoke politely, "Grandmother, my family is not that complicated, and no one can control me. The person I choose will not be made to suffer.""With that said, I can rest easy," the old lady replied, finally sighing in relief. She knew that these two must be hiding something from her, but as long as the bigger picture was fine, she had no objections.Carl didn't end the topic there. He remained calm and composed, refilling the old lady’s tea, his gaze moving through the window frame, landing on the busy figure of the girl inside.She wore bl
Smith wasn’t stupid; he realized he had been led into a trap. Puffing up his cheeks, he muttered, “The boss treats us really well too!”“Really?” Amelia raised an eyebrow slightly, disappointed. She had hoped to extract some useful information, but it seemed that while this Frenchman was a chatterbox, he was quick to catch on.Smith nodded seriously. “The boss has no flaws!”“Oh?” Amelia’s eyes flicked with interest. “But just a moment ago, you said I’d be the one getting hurt.”Smith froze, his scalp tingling. “That was all nonsense! I can tell the boss is very serious about you. He definitely won’t let you down. Even if your backgrounds are different, it doesn’t matter!”“Oh?” Amelia absently played with the abacus in her hand, smiling without much thought. “Too bad, though. I’m just pretending with your boss. How could yo
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.
