"You've got some nerve hijacking my car," Emily said. She showed no trace of fear, radiating an air of authority.The tattooed man smirked, his grin full of arrogance."If your bodyguards were here, we wouldn't have dared. But too bad, they're all at the hospital protecting Brandon."He glanced at Gabriel dismissively. "And all you've got left is this pretty boy. How could we let such a golden opportunity slip by?"Emily's expression didn't waver. "I must say you're not entirely brainless. You even managed to bribe my driver. But tell me, who's your boss?"The tattooed man sneered. "You'll find out soon enough. Now, get out of the car!"Emily's tone turned sharper. "You're not in any position to order me around."The man's face darkened as he motioned to one of his lackeys. A thug handed him a large sledgehammer."If you don't do as I say, don't blame me for using violence."He raised the hammer, ready to smash the luxury car's window, but before he could strike, Gabriel calmly opened

Today, Emily realized Gabriel's medical skills truly were extraordinary. Even Aaron, who arrogantly called himself a "miracle doctor," and Peter, an expert-level physician, couldn't compare to Gabriel. With just a single sentence, Gabriel saved her grandfather's life.What amazed Emily even more was Gabriel's humility. He didn't want to humiliate Aaron and Peter, choosing instead to keep things low-key. This was the kind of man he was—mysterious, self-assured, and undeniably captivating. Emily felt a surge of feelings for him. She had to have him.She sped ahead to try and intercept Gabriel, but he had already called a taxi and disappeared.Refusing to give up, Emily chased after him in her car.She was already devising her next move. If winning him over didn't work, she'd set a trap to get him into her bed first. She wasn't about to let him slip away.***An angry voice sounded in a standard hospital room at Mercy Hospital."Mia, Gabriel hit me. You have to stand up for me this time!

"Quick, get Professor Smith to treat the patient. If you wait any longer, it'll be too late.""I'm busy and don't have time to waste here," Peter said curtly. "I only came because of Dr. Anderson."Peter straightened up and declared confidently, "Let me make this clear: I'll take full responsibility if anything happens to Mr. Patel after I remove the needles."Without hesitation, he stepped forward and carefully removed the silver needles from Brandon's body.Turning to Jason and the others, he said, "This isn't a heart condition. It's poisoning. Set up an IV immediately to get the toxins out."Just as he was about to name the medication, Brandon's body suddenly convulsed. His face darkened, his legs stiffened, and he lay motionless.The monitoring device beside the hospital bed emitted a piercing alarm, and the three lines on the screen slowly flattened into straight lines."It's... It's impossible..." Peter froze, his face draining of color."Professor Smith, what's happening?" Emil

Jessica turned to Emily, who answered honestly, "Jessica, he's my friend Evelyn's ex-husband and a doctor. I asked him to come and check on Grandpa's condition."Jessica shot Gabriel a scornful glance, her eyes sweeping over him."He's a doctor? What a joke!"She added, "Emily, my grandfather is the founder of Patel Group. How could you bring someone so shabby to treat him? What if something terrible happens?"Emily flushed, clearly uncomfortable with Jessica's sharp words.Noticing Aaron standing behind Jessica, Alice quickly put on a polite smile."Mr. Freeman, Jessica says you're a miracle doctor, and I believe it. After all, you have a Ph.D. in medicine."Her smile widened. "We're counting on you to treat Evelyn's grandfather. If you do well, there'll be a generous reward."Aaron smiled politely. "Thank you, ma'am."Aaron had been pursuing Emily for some time, but she always kept her distance.Now, seeing her bring in an intern who looked like a poor guy, he felt a surge of frustr

Gabriel was furious. "Enemies? Haven't we always been enemies all these years? Anyway, I'm the one who hit him. If you want revenge, do whatever you want!""Hey—"Evelyn was about to explode with rage, but before she could say anything, Gabriel hung up on her.Evelyn's anger boiled over. For a moment, she almost threw it across the room.As the president of Brown Group, she had always prided herself on keeping her emotions in check. But Gabriel's behavior today had pushed her to the edge.Claire, who had been standing nearby, couldn't hold back her anger. "Evelyn, that useless Gabriel really doesn't know his place. If he keeps acting like this, we should find someone to teach him a lesson.""There's no need," Evelyn said, taking a deep breath to calm herself. "Whatever I owed him before is paid off now.""But you can't just let this go!" Claire insisted, her voice rising.Evelyn raised a hand to stop her. "Mom, that's enough. We have more important things to deal with. The Patel famil

"Mrs. Brown, she's from the Patel family! How could we possibly offend her?"The security guard spoke with a nervous look on his face.Emily's status was well-known. Even if they worked for the powerful Brown family, they wouldn't dare act recklessly."A bunch of cowards! You don't dare to offend the Patel family, but do you dare to cross the Brown family?"Claire snapped, her tone sharp and cutting.The two security guards exchanged uneasy glances, neither daring to respond."What's going on here?"At that moment, Evelyn came rushing out of the villa."Evelyn! You're finally here! Look at what he's done to Dominic!"The moment Claire saw Evelyn, she burst into tears, her voice rising as she complained. To someone unaware of the situation, it might have seemed like she was the one who'd been bullied."What happened? Who did this?" Evelyn's face darkened as she looked at Dominic, his face swollen like a balloon and his clothes covered in filth."Who else could it be? It was that b*star
