Veyron was relatively young, yet he carried an air of maturity that seemed completely at odds with his age.Even more unusual was the aura he carried — one that made it difficult for anyone to treat him like an ordinary physician.Gabriel stroked his chin thoughtfully, his curiosity deepening."Why do I feel like there is more to him than what he shows?" he murmured. "He is certainly not an ordinary man.""Of course not." Augustus Laurent laughed lightly. The Dragon General was far more extraordinary than Gabriel could imagine."Oh?" Gabriel immediately looked at him, his eyes lighting up with interest. "Then who exactly is he?"Augustus glanced at him for a moment before asking, "Do you know who taught me medicine when I first joined Ancient Sage?""No." Gabriel shook his head. His curiosity only grew."It was Veyron Blackthorne.""What?" Gabriel's eyes widened. "It's him?"Although Augustus Laurent had built a long-standing reputation in the jewelry industry, his accomplishments in

A lump formed in Victor's throat, making it difficult to swallow. Fear flashed across his eyes as he instinctively retreated."Veyron, what are you trying to do?" His back nearly collided with the wall behind him."Are you planning to use force?" he demanded, though there was little confidence in his voice. "Don't forget that I'm your father-in-law. Be mindful of divine retribution!"Veyron stopped. A faint, wicked smile slowly appeared on his lips."Father-in-law?" His expression gradually turned cold, and his icy-green eyes darkened. "It depends on whether you have ever treated my wife like your daughter.""Nonsense!" Victor immediately snapped, taking another nervous step backward. "She is my own flesh and blood. How could I possibly not treat her like my daughter?""Is that so?" Veyron's eyes narrowed. He took one slow step forward. Victor instinctively shrank backward. "If you really treated her like your daughter, you wouldn't have forced her to marry Julian Hawthorne back then.

"It's fine." Victor waved his hand dismissively. "I'll pay for the repairs."As he spoke, the door of the SUV suddenly opened. A bald, heavily built man dressed in a black suit stepped out. His face was dark with fury. He had been driving normally and had been following the traffic regulations. It was the BMW that had suddenly sped into the intersection without yielding.If he hadn't reacted quickly enough and swerved, the collision could have been far worse. He glanced at the wrecked SUV and his expression became even uglier.Then he strode toward the couple. "Who was driving?"Victor frowned slightly but answered without hesitation. "I was.""How did you even get your driver's license?" The bodyguard pointed angrily at the damaged SUV. "You nearly got us killed, and you've destroyed my car!""So what?" Victor retorted arrogantly, crossing his arms. "I'll pay for the repairs."The bodyguard narrowed his eyes. "Do you know how much this car costs?""I don't care." Victor scoffed. "Wh

"Why are you so clumsy?" Victor sighed as he snatched the checkbook from Catherine's fumbling hands. "Hurry up and give me a pen.""Yes... yes..." She nodded nervously and immediately began searching through her purse.But before she could find one, the passenger door of the Rolls-Royce suddenly opened. Zavian West stepped out.He was tall and broad-shouldered, with a lean, athletic physique. His sharp features and deep-set eyes gave him an imposing presence, while his neatly styled black hair added to his refined appearance.Dressed in a perfectly tailored ash-colored suit, he looked every bit like the powerful billionaire he was.However, the moment Victor saw him, his heart immediately jumped into his throat."Mr... Mr West, please don't be angry." He hurriedly stepped forward with an apologetic expression. "We'll pay the compensation right away."He quickly snatched a pen from Catherine's trembling fingers and began writing an amount on the cheque.But before he could finish, Zavi

Victor pondered Catherine's words for a moment before slowly nodding. It did make sense. But there was still one thing he couldn't understand.He looked down at the jade in her hand and asked curiously, "What are we going to do with this jade now? We don't even know what it is exactly."Catherine almost face-palmed. She stared at her husband as though she couldn't believe how slow he was being."Didn't you hear what Mr West just said?" She pointed toward the direction where the Rolls-Royce had disappeared. "He said that whenever we need his assistance, all we have to do is contact him and he will help us."A malicious glint flashed across her eyes as a sinister smile spread across her lips. "We can use him to deal with that stubborn girl.""Right... Right..." Victor finally understood what she was implying. A delighted smile spread across his face. "Haha! Why didn't I think of that?""That's what I've been trying to tell you." Catherine snorted and crossed her arms. "You almost gave e
