Elvis's mind replayed the events like a movie on repeat. The words he'd spoken, the acupuncture procedures – everything had been guided by the ring's signals. He stared at the ring, a mix of awe and unease swirling in his chest. "This ring is powerful," he whispered to himself, his eyes fixed on the band.

Mrs. Nath's gentle voice broke the spell. "Sir Elvis, I'm so sorry for everything I said and did earlier. Thank you for saving my father's life." Elvis's gaze shifted to hers, and he offered a soft smile. He couldn't help but notice the stark contrast between her current demeanor and the fiery rant that had almost gotten him thrown out of the ward.

Maxwell cleared his throat, his eyes cast downward in shame. "I...I owe you an apology too, Sir," he mumbled, his words barely audible. Elvis's smile faltered for a moment before he replied, "I'm just glad I could help your grandfather."

As he spoke, Elvis's mind still lingered on the ring's mysterious power. How could it possibly know wha

He had arrived at the mansion for this reason. he approached Anita, she stared at him with a mixture of annoyance and frustration."Victor, what are you doing here?" Anita questioned again, her voice laced with irritation. "Are you stalking me?"Victor's eyes narrowed slightly, his smile faltering for a moment before he regained his composure. "Ani, must you always behave like I'm a shot?" he retorted, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Do I smell when I come close to you? I don't, obviously, because I used the most expensive perfume. As a matter of fact, ladies line up to have me pass by them so they can get saturated by my perfume scent."Anita rolled her eyes, her expression unimpressed. "Oh, quite fortunate for you and them, Mr. Escobar," she replied rudely, her tone heavy with sarcasm. "But I don't care. My question is, what are you doing here? The ancien

    The voice on the other end of the call was laced with surprise. "Anita Johnson? I wasn't expecting a call from you, ah, the almighty Anita Johnson calling me. What a great privilege! I've missed you,"Anita's voice was direct and urgent. "Franka, I need your help and it's urgent."Franka's response was tinged with disappointment. "You didn't even bother saying hello? You didn't even bother giving a formal greeting? You just went straight to the point. Come on, Anita, I was thinking you'd be better by now."Franka's voice was tinged with nostalgia. "I thought you've forgive me for what happened in the past, are you still upset? Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry about what happened the last time. Come on, I just wanted what was best for you and William. William was really on my neck, and I felt he meant well for you."Anita's tone was firm. "I didn't call for us to have a conversation about the past. I didn't call for us to rehash it. I'll be more than grateful if we don't talk about it. I onl

    "I'm hundred percent sure my work can't be counteracted by anyone else," Doctor Gwen said confidently. "My antidote is the only one that can reverse the poison's effects. If you haven't administered it, there's no one on earth who can save Mr. Johnson."Victor paused, weighing his options. "If you say so," he replied calmly. "I'll hold you to your word.""With all due respect, sir Victor, you have no choice but to hold me to my word," Doctor Gwen asserted. "My awards and recognition worldwide aren't just for show. I've earned them through my expertise. I'm the best at what I do, and there's no need for me to be afraid or uncertain."Victor's expression remained unreadable, but his tone turned calculating. "Very well, Doctor. But if it is true, you'll face the consequences.""I'm willing to take that risk," Doctor Gwen said, his confidence unwavering.

    Doctor Gwen's voice was laced with respect as he addressed Victor. "With all due respect, young master, I don't understand what you're talking about. There's one thing you should know - I don't joke with my professionalism. I've worked with you and your family for years, and I've never compromised my integrity."Victor's anger boiled over, and he cut Doctor Gwen off. "You still have the nerve to talk? You still have the audacity to defend yourself? You're never feeling remorseful, are you?"Doctor Gwen's expression turned apologetic. "I'm sorry, young master. I don't mean to sound rude. Please forgive me if I'm coming across that way."Victor's tone turned accusatory. "Oh, so you're claiming you're not a fake physician? Then how do you explain the fact that Johnson Patriarch is back on his feet, despite the poison I administered according to your instructions? How do you explain that?"Doctor Gwen's eyes widened in alarm as he realized the gravity of the situation. "I...I don't know w
