The young boy on the screen paused briefly before sniffing in disdain. Behind him was a massive study that made the wealth of TheHandsomeMrLowe clear to everyone watching.GrandeinSouthbury: "Oh… He's so cute, and his skin is so pale!"WannaDate: "Look at me! Please, young master!"Aria recognized the face on the screen. She said blandly, "Aren't you Cameron Lowe, the third son of the Lowe family?"HappyLife: "She doesn't seem that enthused. Has he misunderstood her?"Cameron sneered. "Yes, it's me. Let me tell you something here, Aria. You should stop wasting your energy. You're inferior compared to Lily. Not only would you fail to marry into the Short family, but you'd also never marry into my family. You're not worthy of that!""Oh, okay." Aria's reply sounded way too perfunctory. Cameron opened his mouth, his face reddening. "You better heed your promise, or else…"Aria didn't bother talking to him. "Where's your brother?"Cameron yelled loudly at someone behind him. As i
Before Aria could reply, the comments erupted into laughter. NewbieMochi: "Yes, Grandpa Lowe, all of us can see you!"Immersed: "This stream is amazing! LMAO. This is absolutely hilarious!"LikeYouLots: "I just saw the principal on the screen. What the heck?"GettingAJob: "He's not just a principal, is he? He's a very famous doctor too!"ForgetaboutLove: "A famous doctor?"GettingAJob: "He's the head of the neurology department in the First Affiliated Hospital. He's a really famous professional. You guys can look his name up."GonnaGetRich: "I just looked him up, and wow, he's amazing! So many people have registered for an appointment with him that you can only book one in the next year!"LikeYouLots: "You guys know what I'm feeling now, right?"Handsome: "Didn't you say that the streamer was a quack doctor? Even your principal said that she's a prodigy!"LikeYouLots: "That's why I'm completely convinced now." The viewers who had tuned into the stream initially perceived h
NewbieMochi: "OMG! It's really a Holy Emperor!"…In St. Peter Castle in Angladus, Landon's meeting had just ended. He sat on the couch and pulled on his tie while scrolling his phone with his right hand. In contrast to his demeanor back in his home country, he seemed more uninhibited yet relaxed. This, coupled with his regal bearing, was why Barry Smith, who arrived after him, dared not utter a word.Solo noticed that Landon's phone screen had gone dark. He said helpfully, "Dr. Genius probably didn't notice you, Mr. Landon."Landon looked up at him, his gaze dark. Solo recoiled from him. "If you want to give her gifts, you can wait till tomorrow."Only then did Landon tuck his phone back into his pocket and turn his gaze toward Barry. "Go on."Barry exhaled deeply in relief before he commenced his report to Landon, his voice quivering with apprehension at the thought of facing consequences.…Aria had noticed those two comments as well. Nonetheless, they didn't stop her fr
"This alley is so decrepit and narrow! As expected of someone who lives in poverty!"The woman who had spoken was Dorothy, whom Aria had encountered at the hotel. Holding Mindy close, she spoke with a slight frown. "You didn't have to come all the way here yourself, Ms. Carver. It's not like someone who lives here would be that skilled of a doctor!""Stop, Dorothy," Mindy intervened, her long skirt trailing behind her and her high heels making walking on the cobblestone roads quite difficult. "I'm doing this for Mr. Levin's sake."Dorothy sighed. "You're the adopted daughter of the Carver family, and the company's stock will all be yours in the future. Do you really need to do this for his sake when he's just a manager?""Dorothy." Mindy stopped her from continuing with a frown. "Don't forget about my brothers. The company will be theirs."Dorothy realized that she'd said too much. She gave the bodyguards following after them a look before saying, "You're right, Ms. Carver. What I
As Dorothy's feet left the ground, she was so scared that her face went pale. Sam was about to put force behind his grip when Aria said, "Toss the stuff, not her."Dorothy was so shocked that her mind went blank. She slumped onto the ground, her limbs as cold as ice.Sarah knew that Sam was quite strong, but she'd never seen him lose his temper. "Aria, uh…""Don't worry, Ms. Johnson," Aria said blandly. "Sam knows what he should and shouldn't do."Sam did nothing else, proving Aria right. He stood in front of the entrance, his gaze sharp. When Mindy approached him, he fanned the air in front of his nose, as if he had nothing but disdain for her. Mindy finally couldn't stand it anymore. She felt as if something were lodged in her chest. If not for Frank, she wouldn't have come here. "I have no idea why you're so stubborn. We gave you all those gifts, but you refuse to take them."Aria smiled. "It doesn't look like you're giving me gifts; it feels more like an unwarranted dona
Sam was a boy of many secrets. For example, his sense of smell was abnormally sharp, and he could pick up scents that the average person could not.For him to say that Mindy smelled bad, she must've smelled like poison. Aria tapped her fingers on the tripod intermittently. She was wondering if she should tell young Mr. York that the fumes coming out of the aromatherapy diffuser in his study smelled exactly the same as Mindy Carver. She'd only thought about this question for two seconds when Georgina called for her. "Is what Ms. Johnson said true, Aria? Did Heartbound Hall blow up on the Internet?"Aria didn't need to answer that question. Their neighbors visited in throngs during the afternoon, clamoring around Georgina and asking her questions. What had happened during the livestream was still a hot topic of discussion. Joel shared Aria's post on Facebook, and someone asked, "Who is she, Mr. Hayes?"Joel answered, "She's a young friend who treats her patients with compassion an
Cyrus tried to picture a scene where all those certified powerful figures gave new streamer gifts. The mere thought of such an occurrence becoming headline news sent shivers down his spine; it was a scenario that must never, ever come to pass.Joel said quickly, "Dr. Genius said before that she won't let you pay whenever you visit her for a consultation, so you shouldn't give her any gifts. You know as well as I that she prefers to keep a low profile and doesn't want any attention."Kenneth contemplated it. "You're very thoughtful, Joel. Very well, we understand. We'll watch her live streams and won't do anything else." Cyrus was in charge of promotion, so he suggested, "Preferably with alternative accounts."Even from the other end of the call, Kenneth recognized the voice immediately. "Cyrus."Cyrus said, "Yes, sir. I'm listening."Kenneth was intimidating despite his calm voice. "When it comes to some matters, you shouldn't judge them by what you see on the surface. You shoul
Warren leaned on his walking stick for support. "Enlisting their services isn't as simple as it once was. After that incident, they're now working under the HOU.""They resurfaced three months ago," Frank whispered. "Word has it, their boss made the call, so now they're working for both the government and as a private organization."Warren's eyes gleamed. "Do it. As long as we can find Rainbow, I'm willing to pay whatever amount."This was what an old man was hoping—for his granddaughter to come home. …Aria raised a brow when she received this message. Bernard Morgan, the representative from Grand Construction Corp., was still talking. "Are we going to help them, Ms. Aria?"Aria was still in Clearwater Alley. She was wearing Bluetooth earphones. She smiled lightly. "I was just warned against doing business with the Carver family.""Hah," Bernard said, "and who might that dumbass be?"Aria spun her teacup absentmindedly. "You're the one in charge of the Dark Web Alliance now
