Asher was more concerned about Maurice’s ability to handle the bill and the toll the alcohol might take on his health. As for himself, he could easily use his energy to neutralise the alcohol before it reached his brain or liver.But could Maurice do the same? Seeing how Maurice was serious about it, Asher stared at Isabella for a moment, then shifted his gaze back to Maurice.“I am not good at drinking but I will accept it.” He replied flatly.“I don’t believe it when men say they don’t drink. If you can’t do that, you should speak now. I don’t want to be held responsible if something bad happens to you.” He smiled, turning to Isabella, “Would you mind drinking for your boyfriend? If you fail, you can both split the bills.”Maurice’s face was filled with mockery, the same for his friends.“Maurice, I will drink. if I win, you and Louisa will have to split the bills.” Louisa who had been focused on her drink, spoke out. “My baby can’t lose to you, if you want I can take his place.”

The following day, James Douglas walked into Chris’ restaurant, welcoming with the scent of brewing coffee and whispering from customers who were sitting across the room. He kept a worrisome gaze as he ambled forward, clutching his phone tightly, looking like a lost dog. At that time, Chris was walking out holding a paper, when he saw the young man, Chris, who knew to always come in contact with several faces daily, could only stare at the young man with a furrowed brow.“Good morning, sir.” James greeted politely Chris nodded as he reciprocated calmly, “How can I help you?”James sighed deeply, as he said. “My name is James Douglas, I was directed here by a doctor, and he said I should ask about Mr. Chris, the owner of this restaurant,”“Is there a problem?” Chris's eyes scanned James from head to toe. “Why are you looking for the owner?” “It's something important, I was told only he can direct me to a great healer,” he began explaining why he wanted to see the healer regarding h

“Whatever my brother did, I have no idea. I have been busy trying to fix things in my family.” James felt unease when he saw their cold gaze fixed on him. “I am sorry, I promise you that I will find him myself and report him to the police. But please, you need to help me. I have not come here for my brother but for the sake of my mother’s condition. She needs help.”Chris’s expression softened a bit, merely looking at James, he could tell he was saying the truth. But what his brother did was unforgivable.“I will call him, if he refuses to come don’t blame me for it,” Chris said with his voice barely audible.James nodded in understanding. While he stood still his mind raced, thinking about what he heard, “Did Edward do all of the things he was accused of? Why did he want to kill the healer? What had gotten into him?” he muttered inwardly.Chris pulled out his phone and was about to call Asher, but Mia interjected. “Uncle, you shouldn’t help him, they don’t deserve our help.”Chris,

“Head or tail?” Asher asked.“I go with the tail, Mr. Mancini.” Asher shrugged, handed the coin to Chris, “You flip the coin, whoever gets the same side twice becomes the winner.”Chris was left in shock, never expecting to be part of it. But then it fell on him.“Flip it,” James said confidently.“Alright,”Just as they had said, Chris took a deep breath. He took the coin, he flicked it with his thumb and the coin spun several times in the air before it landed on his palm, and he quickly covered it with his other palm, while staring at Asher and James.James’ heart pounded with possibilities, his body trembling slightly, while Asher was calm. Seeing the tension, Chris slowly opened his hand, revealing the head of the coin.Asher smiled.James’ face turned pale, and he nodded slowly, knowing he had one chance left. Chris flicked the coin again, and this time, James adjuste

A few hours later, when Asher was through, he took out the needle carefully, applying the herbs to the spot. Gasps left James and the maids’ mouths when they saw colour returning to her face. They witnessed a miraculous revival of a woman they thought wouldn’t survive.That moment, she sneezed, her eyes fluttering open.“What happened to me?” She muttered.James stood frozen, feeling excited and stunned, seeing his mother awake. Veronica and Claudia stood with their mouths ajar in shock and disbelief.“Nothing much, Mrs. Douglas, it seemed someone you trusted had an extra motive against you.”She looked at him confused, as she struggled to comprehend what he was saying.James walked forward, “Mom, you are awake. Mr. Mancini said you were poisoned, he saved you, mother.” He said with excitement.But Mrs. Loveth stared coldly at the maid, ‘Who among you did this to me?”The maid shook their head in disagreement. Mrs. Loveth looked at the maid, then at Asher. “Who are you and how did
