Evan brushed off Samuel's hand arrogantly, gathering his drawings as he headed for the elevator. "But before I go, one parting gift for you all - these diagrams! Oh, fair warning, Mr. Walker - if you persist in your wild debauchery, I doubt you'll last three more months!""Fuck you, you bastard! How dare you curse me?" Samuel Walker erupted furiously, shaking his fist at Evan. "I gave you a way out, yet you curse me instead? You fraud! Don't think I won't have you arrested here and now? Three months? I'm perfectly healthy!" "Believe what you will!" Evan pushed past him, sauntering casually into the elevator and pressing the button for the ground floor. He called out laughingly as the doors slid shut, "Say what you will now, but don't come crying for my help later - that would be an awful slap in the face!""Bastard!" Samuel fumed, on the verge of spitting blood as Evan's infuriating, mocking grin disappeared behind the closing doors. "Daisy, look at the mess you've caused! Go apolo

No sooner had they reached the hall than thunderous applause and praises erupted!"A true prodigy! Not only curing old Mr. Clark but restoring his youth!""I've never witnessed such medical skill in my life. Incredible! This can't be called medicine, but magic!""Magic, yes, it was like magic! You must treat our afflictions too, I beg you!" "...""Enough!" Evan cut them off with a wave. "No more praise, we're done for today. If you desire treatment, schedule through Daisy. I'm tired and going home now. Discuss any remaining matters with her." He jotted down his number and handed it to Daisy, then strode away under their dumbfounded stares."He's leaving the rest to me?" Daisy stared after Evan's retreating back, clutching the paper tightly. "But I guess this works out - at least I got his number.""That was thrilling, but now it's time to leave!" Evan strode out of the hospital, and as soon as he stepped outside, the clouds overhead dispersed instantly, letting dappled sunlight fil

"Eighteen is still early? She's of legal marriage age, and at her age in the past, many would already be mothers." Gavin Smith guffawed dismissively with a wave of his hand. "Hannah, just go get your husband. An opportunity like this to get rich doesn't come often. It's fleeting, don't you women understand anything?"Just as he was speaking, voices suddenly drifted in from outside, growing nearer and nearer."Dad, uncle, let me make this clear. Don't blame me for being an undutiful younger generation! Uncle, stop this. You're just bullying our family for being honest and poor. That's why you're being so arrogant! And Dad, you're the same, just taking it so meekly when people bully us!"Even angered, the voice remained gentle and refined – it was undoubtedly Bella's."Bella! How can you talk like that? Oh, the land your grandfather left, why should your family get the biggest share? It should be divided equally, then each would get 1.4 acres. Why does your family get 1.7 acres? Today I

Keith's furious face slowly morphed into a sinister smile, the two expressions mingling to look especially fiendish and creepy. He took out a slip of paper from his pocket. "Old Smith, you've forgotten something!"Keith's words made everyone in the room pause in confusion, unsure what he was about to bring up next!But seeing his sinister and cunning expression, the Smith family of three was filled with a sense of unease. This likely wasn't going to be good!"Old Smith, important figures sure do forget things easily!" Keith arrogantly strode over to Rivera, waving the little slip of paper with a ghastly grin. "Old Smith, didn't you borrow $30,000 from me last year for Evan and Bella's college tuition? I've come to your home today, isn't it inappropriate not to repay me?""Great job, Dad!"His son Jayden immediately gave him a thumbs up. Of course he knew that slip was the IOU his father had spent two hours digging out that morning!Moreover, he also knew that this debt had already b

A student? A sophomore?And one without any connections?Fuck! Then who allowed you to speak to me that way?Keith West immediately collected himself and yelled, "How to resolve it? What else can be done? Either pay back the money or hand over the girl! No third option today!""That's your solution? Settle problems with money?" Evan's mouth curled into a sneer. "All this fuss over 30,000 bucks? Tsk tsk, quite a reputation drop for the boss of Grain Company!""Oh, so you're loaded then?"Keith West waved the IOU in Evan's face mockingly. "Don't tell me you thought this was just 30,000. Heh heh, the IOU includes interest! Up till today, it comes to 570,000 total. Your destitute family can't possibly pay that back. Just obediently hand over the girl!""I'll hack you to death!" Rage surged wildly within Rivera Smith like tidal waves. His eyes already blazed with fire. "No money, but you want my daughter? Over my dead body! I didn't write any interest on that IOU. You pulled that out of
