"Time really spares no one, huh? Even the rule-abiding Peter finds himself in a difficult spot now."

The elderly scholar patted Mr. Hart on the shoulder.

"Peter, we’re both getting on in years. My memory isn’t what it used to be—I completely forgot we had an appointment. And honestly, this isn’t the right place to discuss your junior’s school transfer."

"Transfer?" Mia feigned surprise. "Mr. Hart, Sister’s grades wouldn’t allow for a transfer, would they? Hasn’t she always studied at your vocational school?"

As soon as she said this, many scholars turned to look their way.

The elderly scholar made no move to stop her.

Mr. Hart instantly understood what was happening, and his heart sank.

Before coming here, he had reassured Amelia that everything would be fine.

But now, even an old friend had become unrecognizable.

Amelia, ever perceptive, knew that anything Mr. Hart said now would only invite further ridicule. She spoke up herself:

"Mr. Hart, out of old friendship, you turned down an

    "Secretary Frank, it’s really been a long time! The last time we met was in Mr. Cromwell’s office."Dave’s attempt to curry favor was blatantly obvious.But Secretary Frank didn’t extend his hand, only giving him a brief glance.Dave didn’t mind the cold attitude, instead eagerly trying to find a topic of conversation. "So, what brings you here?""I’m here to pick up Peter." After deciphering Amelia’s silent cue, Secretary Frank ignored the old scholar and walked straight to Mr. Hart. "Peter, Mr. Cromwell knew you were meeting an old friend today, so he specifically instructed me not to show up too early. He wanted you to finish your business first before bringing you to the Cromwell estate. Ever since parting ways in LA, Mr. Cromwell has been thinking about you."The moment these words fell—The entire room went dead silent.Secretary Frank’s demeanor was like an invisible slap, landing hard on their faces.Dave visibly stiffened.Those who had been loudly accusing Amelia and Mr. Har

    After all, even with Mia’s impressive acupuncture skills, there were still illnesses she couldn’t treat.Sometimes, she even made mistakes.The only explanation Dave could come up with was that his old friend was exaggerating to help his disciple transfer schools.Thinking himself witty, he said, “Peter, you want to promote the younger generation, but you don’t have to go as far as giving her the credit.”"Give her credit? Secretary Frank is right here. Do you think I could just 'give' credit like that?"Mr. Hart remained upright and righteous as he turned to Mia, who was deliberately trying to lower her presence."Your student once apprenticed under Evelyn Adler. She should know exactly who saved Mr. Cromwell."Mr. Hart had never intended to put a junior on the spot.That’s why, when he first saw Mia, he had said nothing.But every single word she spoke was aimed at stepping on Amelia, belittling her as if she was worthless.He could no longer tolerate it."Amelia had the highest lev

    Mr. Hart had never seen a young person with such a thick skin before.When he got home, he was definitely going to beat his grandson!What kind of friends was he making?!(Denis: Achoo! The weather dropped just like that. Guess it’s time to ask Grandpa for some money to buy a down jacket.)Denis had no idea that his so-called "fairy-like" Mia had just put on an entire tea ceremony performance for his grandfather in front of everyone.Given Mr. Hart’s status, it was beneath him to continue engaging with her.Pushing the issue further would be undignified.Mia had bet on this.Mr. Hart was a respected elder in the medical field, a man of scholarly integrity.In this situation, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to argue with her.That’s why she played this card.But she miscalculated one thing—And that was Amelia.It didn’t matter what kind of tea tactics Mia tried—Amelia could spill the tea right back."So, according to you, you were 'forced' to become Evelyn’s apprentice?" Amelia smi

    Today, if Mia’s reputation collapsed, the Crawford family would have a much harder time manipulating things behind the scenes.That was why Ernest stepped forward.He glanced at Secretary Frank, then at Amelia."Since things have come to this, why not show some mercy?" He spoke with a seemingly benevolent tone. "After all, you are in the medical field too. A true healer has a compassionate heart. Just because you saved Mr.Cromwell doesn’t mean you should completely cut off another doctor’s path."Amelia was sharp.Just by looking at his face, she could immediately match him to the information she had read.Seeing that the Crawford family couldn't resist jumping out, her eyes held a hint of amusement."I was wondering who had the power to whitewash Evelyn’s apprentice," she mused, "turns out it’s the Crawford family."One sentence—Ernest’s expression turned dark."Young lady, you should speak with evidence.""Mia’s mother’s surname is Crawford," Amelia said casually. "She’s already in

    In social circles, Mia had always maintained the image of an orphan—A narrative designed to highlight her talent.Even when Jackson came looking for her, she claimed he was just a distant cousin.And thanks to this daughter, Jackson managed to climb his way up to a small-time contractor.People’s impression of her was that she was simple, well-mannered, and somewhat pitiful.After all, for a young person new to New York, life wasn’t easy. Some of the older generation naturally wanted to lend her a hand.Who would have thought—she had the Crawford family backing her all along?But now, the Crawford family was clearly trying to distance themselves from the Adler family scandal, treating her like a discarded pawn.The scholars exchanged glances and subtly stepped away from her.Evelyn was still under investigation in LA.Once upon a time, Mr. Adler had been highly respected in New York’s medical circles—now, he wasn’t even allowed to leave his courtyard.And don’t think the storm has pa

    "They'll probably try to smooth things over and get the Crawford family to spare her.""But over time, the Cromwell family will grow tired of this constant manipulation. That girl has no idea how miserable her end will be!"The people nearby nodded in agreement."At the very least, we have to acknowledge her abilities for now," one scholar remarked. "Saving Mr.Cromwell proves that her medical skills are indeed impressive."Mr. Crawford scoffed."It was just luck."What he truly coveted was the ancient acupuncture manual his student possessed.If he could get his hands on it, his status would be solidified.After all, when he observed Mia’s needling techniques, her movements were still unrefined.But now, obtaining the book seemed nearly impossible.The Crawford family might have already gotten to it first.Mr. Crawford narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.Meanwhile, Mia rushed back to school, her face pale as a sheet.She had called Uncle Crawford many times, but he never picked up.It

    "Still, you should probably avoid talking about her and that man’s affair too much—it’s all about public perception.""Oh, I know," Carrie replied. "It’s just us chatting! Her PR team already released a statement denying everything, but the netizens aren’t buying it. Some media outlets are still camping outside the hospital, trying to confirm if she was really pregnant and got dumped. My friend has always marketed herself as pure and innocent—this scandal needs to be cleaned up ASAP!"She straightened up in her chair."If you can fix this, my friend will definitely send you a huge red envelope!"Mia hesitated for a moment, clearly tempted."No need for that," she finally said, pretending to be selfless. "I just know this has been stressing you out, so I want to help.""Mia, you’re the best!"Carrie blew several kisses into her phone."Be honest, Mia—do you read fortunes or something? Everything you say always comes true!"Mia smirked mysteriously."That’s not something I can discuss."

    Ernest gritted his teeth. “A young girl meddling in our affairs and even exposing the Crawford family.”“Another young girl,” Mr. Crawford sneered, his voice filled with hostility. Leaning on his cane, his gaze turned dark. “I don’t care what method you use, you must ensure that someone is still issuing birth certificates. And those doctors—we need them. They’re the ones in the hospitals, and they know the channels better than anyone.”“They’ve been urging us for fresh goods more frequently.” Mr. Crawford glanced at him. “You need to hurry up. Your older brother is coming back soon. Don’t end up with nothing accomplished.”Ernest lowered his head respectfully and then asked, “Yes, Father. What about Barret?”“What do you think?” Mr. Crawford’s expression grew even more vicious. “I’ve already sent people to investigate. Once we find out who that girl with Scarface is, I’ll make her pay in blood!”Ernest was surprised. “Wasn’t she supposed to be Scarface’s niece?”“That’s something the

    Speaking of this, Trista paused and looked at Amelia standing there, from eyebrows to mouth, saying, "Your eyes resemble Ruby's, Amelia. I am Trista, and I used to hold you when you were a child.""You did have some misunderstandings, Abby, but it's not your fault. After all, you've been away from home for so many years, and when you came back, your own parents were no longer the same. It was difficult for you to accept it all at once.""I understood you."Trista said, wanting to touch Amelia's head, "You were quite fierce when you were little, and made some mistakes, but you can always turn back.""But I wouldn't let anyone defame you for the mistakes you didn't commit.""I vouched with my own reputation, let me have a look at your clothes."She wondered how to eliminate the hostility caused by the other party.In Trista's view, Sebastian and Benjamin were different from before, is it because Amelia came back?In such situations, their mother always had to be considered.Whether it w

    "Never mind about the age, just to say, this Lamar is a French, I heard he is even a noble over there."This was the meaning of not believing Amelia.Upon seeing this, Amanda couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Ms. Amelia, if you want to lie about not being able to come down from the stage, at least come up with something more believable. Lamar is indeed mysterious, but who doesn't know that she was born in France? The clothes she creates have always had a strong exotic vibe. If you want to impersonate her, you should at least have some connection to it."Amelia was calm and composed: "Have you seen Lamar, or did you hear her say it herself, that she was French?""I." Amanda opened her mouth.Amelia smiled lightly, a bit mischievously, and said, "You haven't seen it, you haven't heard it, and even the people present have mentioned it. Those rumors are just hearsay. I designed clothes with an exotic style, hoping to make money overseas, but unexpectedly, the strongest demand comes

    This one comes and goes, playing beautifully.The indifference of the older generation does not mean that it had no impact.Amanda was always talking nonstop, while Amelia could even buy knockoff clothes. If she wasn't being stingy to save money, she was just gullible and easily fooled, without a trace of the elegance that a wealthy person should have.The ladies of each family, of course, whispered among themselves."Who told you that I bought this clothes?"In the midst of the noise, Amelia spoke, with a tone that was neither high nor low.Amanda didn't agree: "It's not bought, did you make it yourself?""It was indeed me who did it," Amelia said, her gaze falling upon herself. "Sebastian's words just now were too mild. It seems that Ms. Fisher's mind is filled with nothing but water, shake it a little and you can still hear the sound."Amanda was furious!No one has ever dared to disrespect her like this!"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell Ms. Fisher that I speak more directly," Ame

    In order to outshine his peers present at the scene, Spencer deliberately wore a multimillion-dollar watch and the latest high-end designer suit, with the intention of causing a sensation.Who knew, when he came in, people didn't even look at him.Instead, all the attention was focused on the west side, and it was Sebastian again!"Mr. Sebastian, you are being too harsh with your words," Spencer walked over and patted Amanda's shoulder. "Amanda is just young and curious, she just wanted to ask about the pretty clothes."Moreover, she was a fan of Lamar, so if she saw someone dressed inappropriately, she would definitely take it to heart."If Mr. Sebastian felt it was inappropriate, he could have explained the origin of the clothes to Ms. Cromwell himself, instead of making Amanda come down from the stage."Spencer grandly spoke and then lifted his head.He wanted to see what skills this newly arrived country bumpkin, the Cromwell family, had that made Benjamin and Sebastian rush back.

    In the dream, Amanda had many of her sisters pulling and mocking her.Amelia pursed her thin lips, and before she could find the other person, the other person approached her on their own, saving her a lot of trouble.Hamza's aura was not to be underestimated: "What's up? Do you need something?""Sir Cromwell, you are still so serious," Amanda said, patting her chest in a dramatic manner, pretending to be scared. "I wanted to be friends with Ms. Amelia."Amanda was convinced that in such a big occasion, an elder would never dare to trouble a younger person like her.Of course, if Hamza got angry, it would be easy to let the media write about it.Anyway, the Fisher family was not the one being rude!Amanda's calculations were almost all written out in plain sight, how could Hamza not see it?

    Just like a bomb went off!From far to near, the sound came over.This made many people put down their glasses, including some business partners, and curiously looked towards the entrance."Sebastian! It was Sebastian!""The Cromwell family's Mr. Sebastian? It's been a year, how did he become even more handsome!""And Benjamin! Has Benjamin also come back?""Benjamin?
