A large crowd suddenly formed. Will stared at the unbelievable scene before him. Despite having his shoes trampled on several times and his collar askew, he refused to leave.Even after straightening his collar, he remained hesitant. "Ms. Carver, are we just leaving like this? If you want that candle jar, Mr. Martines will definitely give it to you!""The candle jar will only safeguard its original owners." Aria strung the Emperor Coin with the red string before placing it in her bag."Uncle Will, we can't be greedy about others' luck. It might backfire on us. Plus, Mr. Martines is not a bad guy. All his items are genuine," Aria added with a smile.It was true that Ezra sold his items for a higher price. However, the price was reasonable if the items were all legitimate. Ezra rubbed his head after hearing that. "Oh, I thought you'd think I was dumb for constantly buying from him at higher prices.""Good items are scarce these days," Aria said, her intelligence allowing her to se
Sam nodded. He shook the bell again, as if he'd taken a liking to it, grinning widely throughout. Aria's gaze darkened. She'd always believed that nothing was created to be inherently good or evil. Demons were far from being the most terrifying existence in the world—that would be the nature of humanity. She'd taken Sam under her wing and would continue to do so until the end. He was just a boy who loved to eat, and it would be fine if she didn't make him angry. Aria pinched Sam's cheeks. Sam suddenly thought of something. He gestured, "That guy from just now is about to die soon. I could smell it.""Everyone has their own destiny. His, however, hinges on whether he races later." Aria couldn't see through the darkness between another person's brows and could only tell one's fortune by analyzing their facial features. Tobias had taught her how to do face reading. One passage in the manual read, "Those with round noses possess good intentions."While Aria couldn't definitivel
"I'm just curious," Aria said with a smile, "Seems like the rumors aren't nice.""Uh, you know," Will said, "The conversations within this social circle are always about the same stuff.""What kind of stuff?" Aria smiled.Noticing that she didn't mind, Will wanted to warn her about the rumors about her. "In the version I heard, you were found in a village and taken back here. Everyone thinks that you wouldn't be that respectable after growing up in that place and that you don't deserve Mr. Landon. "He's rejected you, and the engagement wasn't canceled only because you insisted on hovering around him.""That's about the same as what I envisioned," Aria said sardonically. Her gaze darkened under the sunlight.All the scenes in her dreams were coming true one after another. Aria remembered clearly how those rumors had been the first step to dream-Aria's downfall."What do you mean that was about the same as you'd envisioned?" Will was dumbfounded. "Why would you even think about t
It wasn't that Will was oblivious to what the Wagner family had implicitly demanded of him. It was that he had no choice but to take a side, not when Landon was telling him so politely about how he held a mean grudge.The contrast between Landon's amiable tone and the threat in his words made Will break out in a cold sweat. He wasn't sure if marrying Landon would be good for Aria. Landon sounded gentler than before, saying, "Mr. Carver Senior must have his own reasons for picking you to show Aria around. I'll have to trouble you with taking care of her in the future as well."Will promptly said, "Even if you haven't called, Mr. Landon, I'll still be willing to take care of Ms. Aria. It's my honor to have met her."The antique coin felt heavy in his pocket. He'd shown many people around Panne Street, and many people had treated him with casual disrespect. Few people still cared about the rules passed down by the older generations. To many people, Will was nothing but an employee.
The roads were soaked. It had been raining for a whole day in Southbury. Aria Carver's backpack was thrown out of the door by the butler in disdain."Mr. Kent doesn't want to see you, Ms. Carver. So, I have to say some words in his stead. Your birth parents are in the countryside. Your father's last name is Carver."The Kent family mistook you for their daughter in the past. But now that Ms. Lily has been found, I hope that you can do what's best for everyone and stop contacting the Kent family."The butler, Alfred Dun, took out a card. "Here's 10,000 dollars. Mr. Kent instructed me to give it to you as compensation.""No need."Aria didn't even look at the card as she picked up her backpack.Alfred looked at her in disdain. She didn't want the money? Was she acting tough?She should really think about her circumstances. The Kents had found their real daughter. They wouldn't want a country bumpkin like her anymore. She was an embarrassment. "As you wish, Ms. Carver." Alfred
"I'll offer treatment for everyone at the community square tomorrow." Then, Aria reminded them, "Remember to take the medicine. Don't stay up late to watch soap operas. They won't end so soon.""The Tiara" was all the rage in the Elmer district at that time. All the older men and women were hooked on it.A lot of them looked guilty after Aria said that. "We…We will sleep at 10:00 pm from now on."In the past, no one could have imagined that this group of people would be so obedient to one person. A lot of them had made great contributions to the country. Even their identities were kept a secret.Elmer district's community manager, Joel Hayes, had been hoping that Aria would come back sooner. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief. "Dr. Carver, I have been keeping an eye on your house. I've not allowed anyone to approach your property.""Thanks for the hard work." Aria bowed slightly and handed him an apple. Joel accepted the apple with a smile. "It's no trouble at all. I tr
"You have a good eye, boss! I'll prepare an account to receive payment from the Yorks!"Aria said calmly, "No need to rush. Let me sleep first. Do it tomorrow."Other than making money, Aria's biggest interest was treating all sorts of rare diseases. This job from the York family was a nice one for her.Honestly, she was probably the only person who wasn't fazed by the York's visit to Southbury. All of the prominent families in the city were scrambling into action.A family like the Kents had to reach out to everyone they knew and utilize all of their connections in an attempt to get an invitation from the Yorks. Even regular people were talking about how the city was especially lively that month.First, the richest man in Janovin came to look for his granddaughter. Then, the York family came to receive treatment. Some said that the Yorks came to Southbury because the legendary Whiz Doctor was in town. There were a lot of rumors about the Whiz Doctor, but some of them were qui
"That's right, young lady. We should probably call an ambulance. This boy appears to be lost. I called out for some time just now, but no one came over," an old man said. He was concerned that Aria might be blamed if anything happened to the boy. Aria quickly unbuttoned the boy's coat and brought him to some shade. "Don't worry. I'm a licensed doctor."Then, she opened her bag and took out a medical kit. It was equipped with needles and scalpels of all sizes, all arranged neatly in rows. Aria felt the boy's pulse again. "Stop it! How can you simply touch the patient?" Jimmy yelled. He couldn't allow Aria to do as she pleased. She ignored him and continued to monitor the boy's pulse and heart rate. Jimmy sneered. "I'm Jimmy Cornell, currently studying at Janovin Medical University. My mentor is Dr. Salome Gunther. I'm not just a random bystander. You say you're a licensed doctor? How old are you?"Aria continued to ignore him. Her focus was on the boy. She took out a needl
