Chapter 271
What a question!Roderick had to compose himself quickly, sensing that he must not make it too obvious to the elderly men how much he valued the ginseng root he had been gifted.He understood that expressing too much enthusiasm about the ginseng compared to the other gifts he had received earlier might cause envy or jealousy among the elderly men. Given that, he had to watch his attitude and carefully consider the answer he gave to the question he was asked.Then, Roderick turned to Jacob and replied, "I can't say I don't cherish rare roots. But it turns out that the ginseng root seems to be an herb I need for something important."Arnold and Jacob’s faces lit up."Oh, I see," Jacob muttered quietly, his expression showing dissatisfaction. He didn’t know why it had only just dawned on him that Roderick, being a miracle doctor, would truly cherish rare herbs.Of course, a miracle doctor like him would appreciate a rare herb more than any other gifts he received.Arnold was quite disapp

Jacob's phone rang immediately as he was talking, but he ignored it.He wondered what call wanted to be an obstacle to him when he was about to seek Roderick's help.Jacob was about to continue with his explanation, but the vibration of his phone never stopped distracting him.Just then, Roderick said to him, "Why didn't you just answer the call first? For the caller to keep calling you, it must be an important matter."Jacob didn't want to mind the call but to continue explaining himself. However, Roderick asked him to answer the call first, and then he could continue with whatever he had to say.As long as they were still in the room together, he would be willing to listen to whatever he had to say after attending to the call.Since Roderick had insisted, Jacob then slid his phone out of his pocket to check the caller.It happened to be his younger brother, Donald York. He had called more than seventeen times within just a few minutes.Jacob wondered what serious matter he had to te
Chapter 273
It happened that after Edmund had waited for a while at the Secret and Savours Restaurant for Roderick to be thrown out, nothing of the sort occurred.He had to clear his mind and accept that Roderick must have successfully tricked Jacob and been mistaken for the amiable guest the rich man was expecting.But Edmund was very sure that it didn't take so long for lies to be naturally exposed. So, he believed Roderick would soon be exposed, and if he couldn't witness it physically, there was no way the news wouldn't reach him after it happened.Then, he had to leave Secrets and Savours restaurant for the York Family Home so he could treat the sick old man.Edmund was very sure that if news got to Jacob that his father had finally healed, he would leave whatever he was doing right away to come check on his father.He was aware of how much the elderly man valued his father.However, that was Edmund's thought. Unfortunately, things went south for him.The celebrity herbalist of the whole Gla

Edmund immediately regretted his existence. He had already suspected earlier that the York family would mistake what had happened for him being sent by their enemies.But honestly, there was nothing like that.Edmund only wanted to make money off them. That was why he went in search of ingredients to treat the sick old man. And that was the truth behind it.However, given the direction in which things had gone, he would have to explain over and over. But the chances of his explanation being trusted were very slim.He would have to keep explaining, but he had no evidence.Then, Edmund began to cry, as this matter might make him spend the rest of his life in jail."Mr. York, I swear on my life that I have no collaboration with any of your enemies to cause Old Mr. York any trouble. I have been one of the doctors putting in all my efforts to see Old Mr. York healed. There's no way I could join hands with the enemies to harm the old man now..."Jacob instantly cut in, "You are very correct
Chapter 275
Edmund's laughter was so loud that it immediately caught everyone's attention. They all turned to look at him in shock as his laughter echoed wildly over and over.The more he stared at Roderick, the more his laughter continued.Jacob's endurance of Edmund's senselessness reached its limit as he rushed over to him and delivered a resounding slap across his face.SMACK!"What's so funny to you, fool?!" Jacob asked furiously, sending more jaw-shifting slaps to Edmund's face.Instantly, Edmund's face turned red, and his lip tore, dripping blood due to the heavy impact of the slaps."Forgive me, Mr. York!" Edmund hurriedly pleaded as Jacob didn't stop, sending heavy slaps across his face back to back."Forgive you?! That's impossible! You are the reason my father is in very serious pain right now. Yet, you have the guts to laugh stupidly at whatever I don't know was funny to you!"Jacob didn't give Edmund a moment's breathing space as he continued to beat the hell out of him. It was as th

Edmund's head was still buzzing with confusion, and he wished he could find magic to make Jacob and his friends listen to him immediately.However, at that moment, Roderick completed his diagnosis. Then, he stated, "Old Mr. York is suffering from chronic heart disease."Jacob nodded vigorously in agreement with his words.The next thing Roderick said was, "The chronic heart disease Old Mr. York is suffering from is quite deadly, but the severity has become more intense because of a wrong substance that entered his body."Jacob's eyes lit up immediately, and he turned to look at Edmund with deadly eyes. Even though he wanted to ask Edmund about the wrong substance that must have entered his father's body, at the same time, he wished the celebrity herbalist dead immediately.Jacob wished to kill him with his own hands right away.He was about to keep his cool and inquire from Edmund about the substance that must have entered his father's body when Roderick's eyes landed on a concoction
Chapter 277
Huh?!Edmund was shocked as soon as Jacob gave the order. He never saw that coming.Even though he had a strong belief in his concoction's potency, he didn't know why he was quite worried about tasting it now.Then, he quickly waved his hands in the air and said to Jacob, "Mr. York, you shouldn't listen to this kid's words; he is just a manipulator and a great trickster."Edmund didn't waste time before he quickly spoke up again. "Let's take a look at this. Wasn't the reason you invited him to treat Old Mr. York? How does that have anything to do with me tasting the concoction? I'm sure he's just trying to manipulate things."No one around him bought the idea he was presenting. It only made it clearer to them who the real manipulator was.Then, Arnold attacked Edmund by saying, "All you've just said doesn't change the fact that you will have to take the concoction you prepared for Old Mr. York. If you insist, it means just one thing—you were sent by the York family's enemies to harm O
Chapter 278
Jacob was seriously furious upon hearing Edmund bring up another excuse to avoid gulping his concoction.He had warned the fool earlier not to dare say anything more than to take the concoction as he was ordered.But it turns out he's the type who never listens to warnings.Jacob had promised to kill Edmund right away if he tried to be smart by dodging the concoction with more silly excuses.At this point, Jacob wouldn't give anything the chance to stop him until he ended Edmund's life.Jacob was about to strike Edmund to send him to join his ancestors right away when Roderick gently stopped him.Everyone was stunned by Roderick's move, and even Edmund was excluded.The senseless Celebrity Herbalist had forgotten the warning Jacob had given him earlier. Now he had stupidly gone against his order and was about to meet his maker.All thanks to Roderick. If not for him, Edmund would have been a dead man by this moment."Mr. Holmes, allow me to deal with this fool. He has already provoked
Chapter 279
Donald's face frowned seriously at his brother. He understood that their father's health urgently required quick and effective treatment. But did that mean they should settle for an unreasonable intervention?A pack of silver needles? To treat severe heart disease? How does that correlate?Jacob was thrown into bafflement as his brother posed the unexpected question. Even though he had no idea what Roderick needed the pack of silver needles for, as long as he mentioned it, Jacob believed his responsibility was to get the item delivered immediately.Whatever Roderick might need it for shouldn't concern them now. All that mattered was curing their father's illness.Then, Jacob answered his brother. "Donald, don’t you think this is really a delicate time for us to start debating whether the pack of silver needles can cure Father’s illness? Why don’t you wait and watch Mr. Holmes begin the treatment first, then we can debate it afterward?"Donald’s frown deepened as he disagreed. "You’ve
Chapter 280
Huh?!Jacob's eyes widened in shock instantly. He had promised to hold Donald accountable if anything happened to their father, because Donald had wasted the limited time they had to save him over an unnecessary argument.Jacob quickly ordered his guards to get the pack of silver needles delivered in no more than five minutes.Immediately after he gave the order, Jacob's guards sprang into quick action to retrieve the item.Meanwhile, Donald was already seething. He was seriously furious that his brother had neglected his words and proceeded with whatever pleased him.He couldn't hold it in any longer, so he had to express his displeasure."Jacob, I can't believe you really abandoned my words and went ahead with whatever you want. The fact that you are my elder brother doesn't give you the right to decide alone who will treat Father!"Jacob, who had been trying to keep calm since his brother brought up the argument, suddenly became livid. He had only been trying to stay cool earlier b
