Beatrice stared at her phone screen, her face completely pale. The text message from Master Zephyr was short, but it cut through her mind like a frozen blade."From this very moment, you are no longer my disciple," the message read, the words flat and cold.The smartphone slipped from her shaking hands and clattered loudly against the floorboards, her eyes wide with total panic as she whispered, "This cannot be happening."Ten years ago, when Beatrice was only fifteen, she had been obsessed with the medical world but completely lacked natural talent. After being dismissed by several renowned doctors for having zero aptitude, she had given up on herself, eating nothing for three days in her dark room.Ethan had felt deeply sorry for his sister, spending a whole year teaching himself advanced medicine and creating the persona of Master Zephyr under a hidden pseudonym. He had taken her on as his online student, building her reputation until she became the genius doctor everyone admired t

Ethan Vance looked down at his private cell phone as it vibrated smoothly in his hand. A short text message from Garrick Thorne had just appeared on the dark screen."Master Vance, the Sterling family has launched a massive citywide medical contest at their private clinic. They are lying to everyone, claiming they are selecting a brand-new student for Master Zephyr just to trick top doctors into treating Julian," the message read.Ethan looked at the words, a low, cold smirk appearing on his lips as he shut off the screen. It was hilarious how far his adoptive family was willing to go, building a fake stage using his own secret pseudonym just to save an impostor."I think it is time to go and expose their little facade myself," Ethan muttered softly to the empty room.Mother Martha walked out from the kitchen, her old face filled with an intense, motherly worry as she noticed him heading toward the front door. "Ethan, my dear boy, where are you going in this cold weather? You look so

Ethan Vance strolled calmly through the grand, brightly lit living room of the Sterling private clinic, observing the buzzing crowd. He spotted dozens of renowned doctors and top-tier medical specialists in attendance, all talking eagerly among themselves.A faint, cold smile touched Ethan's pale lips as he watched them. He wondered how these arrogant medical experts would manage to get out of this massive trap today once the Sterling family's lies collapsed.Just then, Beatrice stepped forward onto the main stage, holding a sleek silver microphone. She wore a warm, gentle smile that seemed entirely harmless, yet her soft voice carried a faint, unsettling undertone that made the room feel slightly tense."Thank you all so much for gracing our clinic with your presence tonight," Beatrice said, her tone deceptively sweet and welcoming. "Now, without any further delay, let us begin our official medical competition."A side door opened, and two clinic servants carefully wheeled out Julian

The entire clinic hall fell into a freezing, breathless silence as Doctor Raymond stepped forward, his eyes locking onto Beatrice with pure fury. He cleared his throat and read the incoming text message directly from his glowing screen for everyone to hear."Master Zephyr has officially replied to my inquiry," Doctor Raymond announced, his voice booming across the grand room. "He states very clearly that Beatrice Sterling has been fully expelled from his network and is no longer his disciple!"The words hit the room like a sudden lightning strike, causing dozens of renowned medical specialists to gasp in total shock. Beatrice felt her heart drop into her stomach, a massive wave of panic rushing through her body.She forced herself to remain completely composed, taking a slow, deep breath to stabilize her shaking hands. She let out a soft, gentle laugh that sounded entirely harmless on the surface, trying to brush the accusation aside."Doctor Raymond, that is a highly ridiculous and am

Beatrice felt a sudden wave of absolute disgust flood her mind the exact millisecond his skin met hers, finding his physical touch entirely repulsive. She hated his arrogant demeanor and found his constant romantic pursuit deeply tiresome.Yet, she deliberately did not pull her hand away from his grip, forcing her body to remain still. Her calculating mind was already working rapidly, intending to use his family's massive high-society influence to destroy Ethan.Beatrice continued to stoke the internal fire, looking up at Harrison with wide, sorrowful eyes as she fabricated a massive lie. "You must be very careful, Harrison. Ethan is a deeply envious person, and he absolutely despises you."Harrison blinked in surprise, his jaw tightening. "He despises me? Why would a street beggar care about my existence?""Before tonight, he saw your letters to me," Beatrice lied smoothly, her gentle voice dripping with pure venom. "He constantly badmouthed your family’s lineage to my face, mocking y
