As the door closed behind the hoodlums, the mafia boss walked straight to Mama Rachel, his demeanor transformed once again.

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.

    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
