“Since you knew Liam’s lifesaver, pick some gift out and send it to her.” Carl coughed lightly, his gaze falling on Jerry. His eyes were like water, deep and inscrutable. “In a few days, I’ll bring Liam to visit her myself.”Jerry broke out in a cold sweat from the weight of Carl’s gaze. He dared not meet the boss's eyes directly and quickly responded, “Yes, Boss!”That Miss Cromwell should be easy to find. After all, with the Milton family’s connections, she’d definitely give them some face.Jerry was just in his own head, not realizing that Amelia had no intention of seeing anyone from the Milton family right now. After all, that would only bring her bad luck. But the Milton family, unfortunately, was eager to close in on her.Just like now.Amelia had just dropped off the little boy and was about to ride her bike back when a familiar voice suddenly rang out beside her.“How come you're here?”It was her adoptive mother, Mary Crawford. The tone was full of disdain, so much so that s
With her long legs propped up on the bicycle, Amelia lazily observed the scene unfolding before her. Her strong presence made it impossible to ignore her.Jackson glanced at her, suppressing his frustration. He shoved the card into her hand, his voice low, “Amelia, take the money, thank us, and then leave.”Today was Mia’s day to be formally accepted as an apprentice in the medical field, and he didn’t want any distractions.Amelia had been casually leaning against her bike, her dark eyes cool and indifferent. When she heard his words, a slight smile curled on her lips.A charity handout?“Take the money and leave”?The Milton family really spared no effort in trying to paint her as a greedy, “poor relative” trying to take advantage of them.Just when everyone thought Amelia would accept the card and leave, the next moment, she tossed the card right back. The motion was crisp and decisive, fast and accurate!Everyone froze.Mary couldn’t control herself and screamed, “What are you doi
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
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!
