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
Mr. Crawford was quite confident about this matter.Ernest immediately handed over the phone.That girl had to be dealt with.Testing Mr. Cromwell’s attitude first was the right move. After all, even if the Cromwell family protected the girl this time, it would be much harder for them to do so again in the future.But Mr. Crawford had another idea as he held the phone. “Wait. We need to figure out whether that girl actually has real abilities or if she’s just spouting nonsense. We can’t let the Cromwell family reap an easy benefit for nothing.”“You mean…?” Ernest knew his father’s ways well. “We don’t mention the car accident?”Leaning on his cane, Mr. Crawford nodded. “Right now, aside from the Fisher and Campbell families, no one knows the truth about the accident. Especially regarding her prediction about Rowan—only Rowan himself knows. Even Spencer thinks she was bluffing.”“But what if she wasn’t?” His eyes gleamed with excitement. “If she can predict things so accurately, and w
In the evening, at the Cromwell Group, the Crawford family had not yet called.Mr. Cromwell was already angry. "Have I been too easy-going all these years, allowing the Crawford family to think the Cromwell family is nothing?""Perhaps the Crawford family still doesn't know Miss Amelia's true identity," Secretary Frank said. "But I still don’t understand why they would push forward a lone, orphaned doctor."Mr. Cromwell, listening to Secretary Frank’s words, fell into thought.At that moment, Amelia, having just seen off Mr. Hart, pushed the door open and entered. "Grandfather, what are you and Secretary Frank discussing?""The Crawford family has been making some troubling moves lately," Mr. Cromwell glanced at his precious granddaughter. "Amelia, you just arrived in the capital and might not know much about the Crawford family. Galen Crawford's the one I’m most familiar with. On the surface, he’s a scholar, but in reality, he’s deep and scheming. He has connections with people above
Amelia helped the old man sit down and continued, "Fifth Brother is upright. The incident in River County is behind him. In the future, things will go smoothly. When a dragon meets water, it’s a sign of great fortune."Mr. Cromwell paused at her words and then asked, "Amelia, tell me, did you really just learn a bit about Environmental Energy and the Art of Divination?""Well, not exactly," Amelia hesitated slightly when the subject came up. "I’m a bit of an idealist. When the old man taught me, I didn’t study properly, but I’m definitely better than most people out there."Mr. Cromwell, who had once been skeptical of such things, asked, "So, how do you compare to that Master Dawnshade?""Stronger than him," Amelia peeled an orange and handed half to Mr. Cromwell. "I’m very familiar with Master Dawnshade’s techniques. But, Grandfather, there’s no need to look for him. If we need someone to calculate fortune, the master who appeared at the hotel is pretty good."Mr. Cromwell was taken
This issue had been weighing heavily on Amelia's mind.Though on the surface, the crisis seemed to have passed and Molly Ashford's special team was investigating, there was still an inexplicable sense of discomfort lingering.She needed to make sure her grandfather was completely safe.Since the threat seemed to be internal, it was crucial to remain vigilant.Gordon, upon hearing Amelia’s words, suddenly raised his head. "Miss, do you mean to say...""I didn’t say anything," Amelia gave a quick glance at the other black-clad bodyguards nearby. "You’ve been with my grandfather the longest. To be honest, I’ve looked into you."Gordon froze.Amelia’s voice was soft, almost indifferent. "Every time my grandfather tries to contact me, someone always leaks the information, which means there’s someone around him who’s not following the rules.""Yes, the old masters are investigating this as well," Gordon replied.Amelia’s eyes darkened. "My grandfather is a sentimental person. He tends to ov
The shareholders did indeed start to hesitate, and the business partners were also discussing.Ruby protected Amelia and said confidently, "Amelia is not the kind of person who would do these things, there is a misunderstanding here.""Aunt Ruby, how do you explain Scarface's words then? This video was really filmed!" Amanda shouted, unchanging in her stubbornness.Paula, who originally wanted to pull her along, did not stop her at this moment.Ruby's daughter embarrassing herself was the most enjoyable thing for her.All the pressure came to the Cromwell family at once."Scarface, it was indeed difficult to explain."Most likely, this is the rumor spread by Amelia from the Cromwell family, probably out of fear that Mr. Jenkins would want to break off the engagement again."The Jenkins family must have looked down on someone from a small place, otherwise there wouldn't have been no one coming.""Who said it wasn't, and Scarface has been around for so many years. Only listen to Sir Cro
People did not know who the person in the picture was.The video only captured the marble floor on the ground.The photographer intentionally took it this way.At that moment, everyone's gaze focused on the screen."Mr. Jenkins, who had previously rejected the Cromwell family's proposal, would never actively pursue her.""How did you know it was her spreading the rumors?"The voices of the two girls were clearly processed, making it impossible to tell who they were."I caught the person spreading rumors."One of the girls aimed her phone at the screen.Wearing a long coat and carrying a birdcage, Scarface was talking to someone, saying, "You guys have only seen one side of the Cromwell family's matter, Mr. Jenkins was the one chasing after people.""You see, the way he talks, it's as if he has seen it with his own eyes." The voice in the scene says, "Who doesn't know that he is one of Hamza's people, it is clear who spread this rumor."I was also drunk. Only shameless people would spr
Amelia naturally associated him with Zane, especially since Zane trusted him so much.The Wraith Infant and her sisters all told her that she was not...Amelia got lost in her thoughts.The only voice found in the dream banquet was Paula's.Another question, until now, she has not found the answer.Wasn't it big enough?Amelia pressed her fingertips against the evil-warding coin and calmly looked around in all directions.Zane was still struggling, and Abby stood beside him, looking pitiful, calling out, "Dad, don't be like this.""What problems does she have? Can you tell?" Amelia casually raised her hand and took a glass of wine.The vengeful spirits jumped twice on her shoulder and said, "I didn't see anything else, it's just that people listened to her too much, Master. I know there is a kind of dark magic underground that can influence people's thoughts.""Dark magic?" Amelia said absentmindedly, "Are you referring to what is recorded in the Indian scriptures?"The vengeful spiri
So Zane hated, and of course he could not chase the past again, he also had his dignity!Abby became anxious and said, "Dad, you should go and say something nice to Mom. Mom won't really divorce you.""She wanted to leave, so she left!" Zane tugged at his tie, veins popping on his forehead, and sweat pouring down.Abby couldn't believe that her usually astute father couldn't see through the current situation.The divorce became a settled matter in such a situation.What did she do after today?The information that Ruby had come too late.Otherwise, she wouldn't have made up her mind to divorce Zane today.The smartest thing about this approach was that it put an end to Abby relying on Zane and herself, and constantly seeking the support of the Cromwell family and the Molson family!Even Sebastian was wondering, "Mom, how did you suddenly have a change of heart?"He and his brothers all thought that the divorce, no matter how it was said, would take some time, until their mother really
Ruby respected Arnold a lot: "You were right."Hamza was also there, leaning on a cane, with a slightly deep gaze. He didn't beat around the bush: "Ruby, I didn't quite hear clearly up there, but are you wanting to divorce my son?"Arnold frowned, "This was a matter for the younger generation, you shouldn't meddle in it.""Arnold, I don't want to get involved, but I have to ask," Hamza chuckled. "After all, it has come to this point."Ruby was especially apologetic to Hamza. Ever since she married into the Cromwell family, her in-laws treated her as if she were their own daughter. They would say that Chicago was far from New York, but if she needed anything, she just had to let them know and they would support her.It has been like this for so many years.Amelia was kidnapped, and Hamza's hair turned white overnight.At that time, Hamza's body was not as strong as before.In terms of emotions, Ruby should not have brought up the topic of divorce on such a festive day. Ultimately, Hamz
Divorce?Not only did the entire scene become quiet.Even Zane was dumbfounded in the local area."Divorce?" He stared at his wife with wide eyes, in disbelief: "You want to divorce me?"The education of the Molson family, he knew it better than anyone.How could someone raise a woman who would say divorce right away?Wasn't she always abiding by the rules?Can't we discuss it privately, even if there is something that can't be said in private? Do we have to embarrass him in front of everyone in the hall?Zane seemed as if he didn't recognize Ruby anymore, anger welled up in his eyes."You fell ill again!"Zane reached out to grab Ruby: "Come with me to the hospital!"Did you get sick?Did Mrs. Cromwell say she wanted a divorce, was she ill?Some people were still confused.Amelia had already grabbed Zane's wrist with a strong grip and said, "My mother considered it unfair to disclose those documents regarding the Cromwell Group's impact. If you're smart, you'll just leave on your own
Who knew, Ruby affectionately held her hand and said, "Mrs. Campbell is right. As mothers, we shouldn't promote harm to children. But when someone wants to harm our children, we don't care about saving face. We won't let them get involved!"Octavia was being held by such a delicate and beautiful lady, and she was feeling a bit nervous. "Ah, yes," she said."Throughout, everyone believed that my condition could stabilize because my husband brought a child back." Ruby looked at Zane like this for the first time, almost seeing through him: "I, like everyone else, believed the same."Our love, everyone present, especially Mrs. Fisher, was a witness to Zane and me.Ruby would never let something go, especially if it was directed towards her.Just because she came back late, not a single person intended to let her daughter go.Is it just like those people online who used to criticize Sebastian?Her illness was constantly giving others the opportunity to attack her daughter.Ruby had origina
"Our sister has always been Amelia, that's what I remember, and I have told you more than once.""Before, we were concerned that you were a girl, and we would publicly expose you, causing you to lose face.""But you repeatedly, in various ways, slandered Amelia to satisfy your vanity, intruding into things that don't belong to you. My father wanted to protect you, we are not the same.""If I couldn't even protect my own younger sister, I would change my last name!"Almost in an instant, the entire banquet erupted!Raiden was really cool, protecting his sister with great style.Ruby was the first to grab Amelia's hand, shining brightly like never before, not to be underestimated.It was as if telling everyone, if you want to bully my daughter, you have to ask the Molson family behind me if they are willing or not.Yes, Ruby was not only Mrs. Cromwell, but most importantly, she was the most favored young lady of the Molson family.No one dared to jump around, Trista's perception was sha
"The water of the Cromwell family was so deep, it was a bit concerning, but it's strange that Mrs. Cromwell is fine, yet her husband never mentioned it."Yeah, it's strange.Zane, who was always doting on his wife, was completely unaware that his wife had already recovered.The people present were not stupid, in fact, each of them was very intelligent.The ladies hated men of this kind the most!Acting like they loved, but in reality, it was all bullshit!"I wonder now, why Zane insisted on adopting Abby, there must be something wrong."Zane, upon seeing the situation, desperately wanted to go back!In fact, when Ruby arrived, he wanted to take the opportunity to dominate the other party, just like before.But these three sons, they didn't leave him any space at all!"I was your father!"Zane growled angrily, completely losing his composure!Raiden chuckled, "You don't have to be, as long as my mom is happy, I can be her lawyer."This statement, almost revealed all the hidden cards.B
