Amara walked into the Wyatt family villa with a long face.“Amara, what happened?” her sister asked.“The president of the Excelsior Group was with the Langley family and personally signed a contract with them,” Amara said coldly. “As for the Wyatt Group, we’ve been betrayed.”Amara said all that very calmly. Yet, a fierce rage simmered under the calm.“The Langley family is nothing! What does the Excelsior Group see in them?” The others found the situation hard to believe.“There’s no point in discussing this,” Amara said with a frown.“Remember, from this day forward, the Langley family is an enemy to the Wyatt Group. I have only one goal from now, and that is to utterly destroy the Langley family.”The other sisters were all quiet.Once Amara decided to do something, she stopped at nothing until it was done.That was the kind of power she had as the president of the Wyatt Group.“That insolent Dustin told me to get lost!” Amara’s voice was icy.The scene at the Langley family kept r
“Dustin Fox, you stole a check worth a million dollars from the Wyatt family. If you don’t give it back, I’ll break all your limbs!”Elijah snarled with a cruel smile.“A check?” Dustin frowned.He had not taken anything from the Wyatt family…“Actually, I was the one who took it,” Elijah said in contempt. “But the stupid women of the Wyatt family all believe you stole it, you useless trash!”He continued, “I’ll cripple you, then return with the check to prove my worth. Once I’ve gained their trust, Amara will be pleased enough to hand me the entire Wyatt Group… At that point, I’ll have everything I want at my fingertips!“As for you…” Elijah looked at Dustin mockingly. “You’re just a useless replacement. You should be honored that you’re at least useful as a stepping stone for me.”Dustin’s face turned cold.What a cunning plan!The Wyatt sisters had probably never even dreamed of the possibility that their little brother that they worked so hard to find would scheme against
Delia brought out her laptop and logged in to a website.“This website has the world’s top physicians on it. Everyone’s ranking is clearly stated here. Although I’m renowned in Rivenesco, there are only intermediate grade physicians here. There are still other ranks like the top grade physicians, titan grade physicians, and at the top, the Medical Sage, who is a miracle grade physician!”Delia clicked on the website as she spoke.“The veteran physicians we have in Lovellia are top grade at most. Only a few world-famous ones can be considered titan grade physicians…“As for the Medical Sage, the world only has one! That’s my teacher, the Medical Sage, Foxtin!”Delia lit up when she mentioned her teacher’s name. She felt deeply honored and incredibly proud of that!Thinking back on how she had become Foxtin’s student, Delia felt like it was something from a dream.Back then, she had been a newly graduated medical intern. She had limited knowledge about many things.When she had j
In the end, Elijah could not stand the pain anymore and passed out.The five Wyatt sisters finally had some peace.“You all take good care of him. He should feel a little better tomorrow,” Delia said. “I’ll go contact some other renowned physicians.”They could not put their hopes on Delia anymore.The unconscious Elijah was at least quiet at the moment.The sisters watched over him throughout the night. They thought that the worst was over and planned to get some rest in the morning.But when Elijah suddenly woke up, he started screaming in pain again.The five Wyatt sisters were mentally and physically exhausted. They were on the verge of collapse.“It’s that useless Dustin’s fault!” Elisa said hatefully. “He was the one who hurt Eli this way. We can’t let him off so easily!”“He was the one who hurt Eli, so he must know how to fix him.”As she said that, Elisa sprang up. She was ready to go visit him.“Amara, I want to go to the Langley family again,” she said decisively.
“Simone, are you alright?”Dustin gently pressed a warm cloth to Simone’s face and asked in concern.Simone looked at him with tenderness.“I’m fine. You should check on Miss Elisa…” she whispered as she looked at Elisa.Elisa had been slapped twice, and both her cheeks were swollen. She was in far worse shape than her.“She’s just an outsider. Why should I bother about her? I might go as far as to say that the slap wasn’t nearly hard enough,” said Dustin coldly.Simone opened her mouth but did not say anything.The Wyatt family had kicked Dustin out of the family first. They had been so cruel to him, so she supported Dustin.Elisa covered her face and stood by the window as she stared outside.She could hear their conversation.When she heard Dustin calling her an outsider, she felt furious.He used to be a servant of the Wyatt family. How dare he act like he was someone important?“Ungrateful brat! That b*stard!” she cursed at him.She vowed to take her revenge for the s
Even after the Langley family bid farewell to Ronald and the leaders of the Serpentine Gang, they could not quite wrap their heads around what had happened.“The members of the Serpentine Gang were very polite. They were completely different from how they were before,” David said seriously. “Politeness isn’t really in the Serpentine Gang’s vocab.”The Serpentine Gang was the most predominant of all the gangs in Rivenesco, and they had a fearsome reputation aside from just one defeat against Elisa a few years ago.This time was just as unexpected and unpredictable as last time.Why were they so harsh to Elisa, while treating the Langley family so politely?‘What’s the reason?’ David thought and frowned.Although this was a good thing, it was very strange and made him overthink.“David, don’t think too much about it. Isn’t the Langley Group collaborating with the Excelsior Group? With the reputation of the Excelsior Group, it is only natural that the Serpentine Gang would show you
Moon Pavilion by Rivenesco Lakeside was the most prestigious restaurant in Rivenesco. It was built in an ancient architectural style and was very popular among the wealthy and influential.It was a very expensive restaurant. Even the rich businessmen in Rivenesco needed to think twice before dining on the highest floors of the restaurant.Today, the Wyatt family had deliberately booked two private rooms on the top floor to welcome the famous physicians from Lovellia who had traveled from afar.Amara and Delia stood at the entrance on the first floor of Moon Pavilion and welcomed them.Amara was very good at planning such things.She used the influence of the Medical Sage to charm these excellent physicians and tried her best to build a good relationship with them to expand the Wyatt family’s network.The status of top grade physicians in Lovellia was already quite high, so it was worth it to network with them.The sisters welcomed them with warm smiles as each top grade physicia
Dustin led Simone to the fifth floor of Moon Pavilion.Since Delia had used his name to summon all the physicians of Lovellia to Rivenesco, he could not just stand by and watch.When they reached the fifth floor, they saw two rooms with their doors wide open. Most of the people inside were elderly physicians.These people were all top grade physicians of Lovellia, and they held high statuses within their community.Dustin led Simone into a room across from them but did not shut the door. That way, he could watch the physicians.Some of the top grade physicians talked among themselves excitedly and wanted to meet the Medical Sage as soon as possible.After all, the Medical Sage was the highest-ranked physician in the medical field and was no less than a legend. Even top grade physicians respected him.“If Miss Delia is the Medical Sage’s student, that means she’s really talented. I’m envious of her. With the Medical Sage supporting them, the Wyatt family will never fall,” Simone
Clarence and the others felt insulted. “Punk, don’t regret your choice later! Even if you beg us, we won’t come back!” “That’s not likely to happen,” said Dustin and chuckled. Clarence and the others were even more livid. They all packed up their things in a huff and got ready to go. Simone was anxious. She wanted to make them stay, but everyone ignored her.“Dr. Boudin! Dr. Boudin!” As Clarence and the others were packing up, another physician suddenly rushed into the room in a panic. “A new patient was just transferred from Goodwill Hospital. He’s in a coma, but he’s coughing up blood. The files say it’s a brain condition, but tests aren’t showing where the problem is. Please hurry and take a look! “The patient’s family seems important. If we can’t save the patient, they’ll ruin the hospital!” “Oh?” Clarence raised an eyebrow. He was just thinking about how he could make things worse for Dustin when an opportunity presented itself immediately. “Please hurry and
“I’m so damn angry!” Clarence had never been so insulted before in his life. He was so mad that his face turned a shade of purple. He thought that Dustin and Simone would walk on eggshells around him and cater to his every whim to keep the hospital afloat. After all, he was the last resource the hospital had. Yet, he had never imagined that Dustin would not care at all. “You punk! Do you know what will happen if you fire me? Hmph! The hospital will go under immediately! There’s no chance of saving it!” Clarence said with a scoff. Dustin was terrifyingly calm. “On the contrary, I think that the hospital will do better without an old fart like you,” he said indifferently. “So, you should get lost. Don’t make me say it again!” “You… You…” Clarence’s mouth opened wide, but he could not say anything further. He had miscalculated. He definitely did not want to lose out on the significant benefits that being the assistant director of the hospital gave him. He did not u
“Who are you? Do you think you can boss us around? What are you shouting about? Do you have any manners at all?” someone yelled. “I am the new hospital director, Simone Langley!” Simone said angrily. No one seemed to care about that. It was clear that they knew Simone would show up, but it still did not matter. “So, you’re the new hospital director. Well, you’re certainly accomplished for your age. A hospital director so young…” Clarence said mockingly. “You still haven’t answered my question. Why are you playing cards during work hours? This is unacceptable.” Simone was furious. Clarence frowned. “Hey, miss, you’d better speak with some manners,” he said harshly as he glared at Simone. “Don’t think you can boss everyone around just because you’re the hospital director now.” Simone’s face reddened at Clarence’s tone of voice. Clarence smirked. He had gotten instructions early on from the main branch of the Langley family to create trouble for Simone. Besides, th
“Mr. Fox, the Langley family’s hospital is named Goodwill Hospital. They have their own pharmaceutical business and because they brought in a top grade physician a few years ago, they have a better reputation than the most prominent public hospital in Hattan.” Skyler was making a report to Dustin in the villa. “For the past two years, the Langley family has basically taken up the entire market share for the private hospital business in the area. Only a couple of small hospitals are still surviving.” Dustin chuckled softly when he heard that. “Buy the hospital closest to Goodwill Hospital,” he said calmly. “I will use what they look down upon the most to ruin their hospital.” … At the Langley family villa, they got the news about the purchase. “What? They’ve bought Peace Hospital?” Josiah had arranged for someone to keep an eye on what David and his family were doing. Once they found out about the purchase of Peace Hospital, the members of the main branch of the Langle
The person Killian addressed as Mr. Little took a few steps closer to him. He looked condescendingly at Killian. “It’s very simple. It’s because you offended someone you shouldn’t have,” the man said. “W-What does that mean?” Killian was in a daze. Dustin approached him with a smile. “You’re really bold to set me up on my own turf,” Dustin said sarcastically. “Your turf?” Killian looked at him in disbelief. “Everyone at the Antiquities Trading Hall obeys me. And yet, you dare to challenge me?” Dustin asked. Killian was instantly struck dumb. Luna was also taken aback. Her body shook violently. What? How could he call the shots here? Besides, they had never heard that the Antiquities Trading Hall had a secret boss. Killian and Luna were both stricken and nearly lost their reasoning. That was especially true for Killian. He knew that the Antiquities Trading Hall was a very powerful one. Even his father was polite to the people here. The owner was Dustin?! Ho
“How could I have lost? There’s no way I could have lost!” Killian was in complete disbelief. He acted like he was in a daze. He was filled with confusion, and he could not figure it out. He had an inside person giving him clues and knew the correct answer, so how could he have lost? ‘This makes no sense! This isn’t right!’ Killian screamed to himself. His face turned vicious. He could accept that he had lost 20 million dollars, but it was the other bet that was the issue. If he really had to crawl and bark like a dog, he would have no dignity left. He was the son of the Prolereid Group’s chairman. He could not afford to be humiliated like this! “What’s going on? How could we have lost?” Darren and Luna were both in disbelief. Neither of them had expected that this would happen. “Killian, didn’t you say you have connections? What happened?” they asked Killian anxiously. “How am I supposed to know?” Killian yelled grumpily. “This shouldn’t have happened. What went wr
“I pick this one,” Killian said. “I won’t pick the one you did,” said Dustin and chuckled softly. Killian, Darren, and Luna shared a meaningful look. They already knew which item was the authentic one. They were definitely going to win. Dustin would definitely lose! After they both made their choices, the host was about to announce the correct answer. “Hold on,” Killian suddenly said. “I want to up the stakes.” He smiled sinisterly as he stared at Dustin. “Whoever loses has to crawl out of here like a dog.” Everyone glanced at each other. It seemed that Killian had a massive grudge against Dustin. It was no wonder that he had been targeting the latter from the start. The additional bet was a huge insult. It did not matter which of them lost. The loser would lose his dignity and become a laughingstock. “Mr. Fox, this has nothing to do with the rules of the Antiquities Trading Hall. You have the right to choose. It wouldn’t matter if you don’t take this bet,” t
“For this round of the competition, you will be authenticating the most priceless items we have. It is a petrified coral. Its estimated value is 10 million dollars. You will each contribute 5 million dollars. You may bet 10 to 20 million dollars.” As per Killian’s request, the organizers skipped over the round with the Myrena Era pearls and brought out two specimens of petrified coral. The colors of the coral made everyone gasp. “Wow! I’m amazed that the Antiquities Trading Hall would use such a specimen as a competition item instead of auctioning it off. How generous!” “This is worth 10 million dollars. Whoever wins will make a killing!” “This is getting a bit out of hand…” Killian glared daggers at Dustin, and his gaze was vicious. “We’ll bet 20 million dollars. Do you dare to take the bet?” Dustin did not speak for a moment. “This isn’t about whether he dares to take the bet,” Luna said. “Look at how destitute he looks. It’s a miracle that he could fork out a millio
“It’s fine. Trust me, I will win all the money back,” Dustin said reassuringly. Simone’s face froze. Was this not the sort of thing that gamblers said all the time? When had such words ever come true? Simone never expected that Dustin would say such a thing and suddenly felt troubled. “What? Do you still have the guts to keep competing?” Killian and the others asked gleefully. “Let’s continue,” Dustin said. ‘You really overestimate yourself. You don’t even know what’s coming,’ they thought. Dustin was falling right into their trap. They wore disdainful looks and did not think that Dustin was a threat. What did it matter that Dustin had a decent eye for antiques? They were still playing with him like a cat played with its prey. Simone really wanted to stop the competition, but the second round had already begun. This time, two jade sculptures were placed on the table. The jade was magnificent and translucent, and the sculptures were about five inches tall. “T
