Early the next morning, Daisy came downstairs to find Adrian holding a glass of milk, his eyes fixed on his phone.Adrian often scrolled through his phone, but it was rare to see him so absorbed. Curious, Daisy walked over and glanced at the screen.“What are you looking at so intently?”Seeing that Daisy looked energetic and well, Adrian finally relaxed.“Just some news. Let’s head to the office.”Daisy nodded in response, clearly with no intention of pressing further.When Adrian and Daisy arrived at the company, Freya approached them with a grave expression.“Miss Daisy, Mr. Doyle—these are the latest updates the company has gathered.”The seriousness in Freya’s eyes alerted Daisy to the gravity of the situation. She quickly took the documents and reviewed them one by one.Across major media platforms, coverage of the Snow Beauty Secret line had shifted dramatically—from unanimous praise at launch to an avalanche of negative reports, as if the narrative had changed overnight.“Miss

The moment Quentin Newman and the others heard this, their faces lit up with undisguised delight.With Vermilion Bird and her guards stepping in, Adrian was bound to suffer a crushing defeat.Under Lord Buddha’s command were twelve elite guardians. Closest to her were the four great protectors—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—each commanding a cadre of highly capable, fiercely loyal retainers.As for the four guardians themselves, their strength was second only to Lord Buddha’s.If Vermilion Bird were to make a move, even if every martial artist in Skyline City banded together, they would still be no match for her.Nora Simpson shook her head lightly. “No need.”“Help me pack. I’ll go there myself.”“What?”Quentin Newman cried out in disbelief, then immediately lowered his head as if he had spoken out of turn. “Lord Buddha, dealing with Adrian hardly requires your personal involvement.”Nora Simpson’s decision caught everyone off guard—even Vermilion Bird

Vincent Wallace had failed to properly treat Lincoln Ashford earlier, and Giselle Norris had never held him in high regard to begin with.Before Giselle Norris could even speak, Max hurriedly stepped forward to claim the credit.“Miss Norris, the miracle drug has already taken effect.”Giselle Norris looked up, a flicker of surprise lighting her eyes.“Really?”Max nodded solemnly. “I can guarantee it—this improvement is absolutely due to the miracle drug.”Adrian couldn’t help but laugh when he heard that.“That so-called miracle drug nearly sent the patient to his grave, and you still dare to say it worked? What—worked at killing him?”Max immediately lost his composure. He had never been spoken to like this.“I am a top medical professor from Eagleshire and the vice president of the International Medical Association! No one has ever dared to question me. And you—you dare to doubt me?”Max had assumed that his status and reputation would force Adrian to back down. Instead, Adrian sh

Lincoln Ashford glanced at Giselle Norris. She understood at once, took out a check worth ten million, and walked over to Max.“Mr. Max, it hasn’t been easy for you to make this trip. Thank you all for traveling so far to treat my husband. This is just a small token of our appreciation.”As she spoke, Giselle Norris handed him the check, but Max refused it emphatically.At this moment, money was the last thing on his mind.Barely able to conceal the excitement on his face, Max politely declined and took a few quick steps toward Adrian.“Mr. Doyle, what I witnessed today has truly opened my eyes. The medical arts of the Novaland Republic are astonishing. May I ask—how can a few needles cure an illness? Would you mind sharing the principles behind it?”Max’s cheeks were flushed with excitement, his earlier arrogance completely gone.He wasn’t the only one. The rest of the Eagleshire medical team also looked at Adrian with eager anticipation.Adrian felt rather helpless. How was he suppo

Adrian himself paid little attention to Patrick Davidson’s smugness, but Lincoln Ashford and Damon were clearly displeased.Still, they couldn’t say much.Damon, who had no need to worry about the Davidson family’s pride, shot Patrick Davidson a furious glare. Unfortunately, all of Patrick’s attention was fixed on Adrian, and he didn’t notice it at all.Lincoln Ashford quietly tugged at Damon’s sleeve. Damon immediately nodded and walked over to Adrian.“Dr. Doyle, why don’t you take that rough stone as well?”Adrian followed the direction Damon pointed and saw a massive rough stone, nearly half a man’s height. At a glance, it was clearly something extraordinary.Yet earlier, he hadn’t noticed such a stone at all.Adrian looked toward Lincoln Ashford and saw the anxiety in his eyes as he repeatedly gestured for Adrian to take it.That stone was one of Lincoln Ashford’s prized treasures. For years, he hadn’t even been willing to let others lay eyes on it.But he truly didn’t want Adria
