“You actually tore the cheque into two?!” Selene's voice shrieked across the corridor, echoing with venomous disbelief.

Her beautiful features twisted into an expression of fury.

“I never knew you were this ungrateful!” she spat, her eyes flaming with contempt. “I handed you a sum of money that could have secured your miserable life forever! An amount you could never earn even if you broke your back working under the scorching sun and freezing rain for decades! And yet, to preserve your worthless, ex-convict face, you destroyed it? You deserve to live the rest of your life as a homeless beggar!”

Her words were daggers, each one sharper than the last. And with every syllable, Glenn’s heart grew heavier.

Perry, still frozen from shock, blinked rapidly as Selene’s screech dragged her back to reality.

Her own fury dimmed, slowly replaced by wicked satisfaction. The cheque may have been lost, but the humiliation Glenn suffered… that was more than enough to soothe her bitternes

  • Chapter 020 – I Am Someone Versed Enough to Train You

    ******Trent reappeared like a herald ushering in a king after a moment, bowing slightly as he led in an imposing figure.The man was tall and lean, his long, flowing white hair tied into a dignified knot. He wore pristine, traditional Eastern robes embroidered with silver thread that shimmered beneath the overhead lights.A jade pendant hung around his neck, and every step he took was deliberate, precise, and filled with controlled arrogance.His aura was suffocating.His eyes held neither warmth nor acknowledgement for the people in the room. Not even a cursory glance. He acted as if the world beneath him was inconsequential. Only one thing mattered—his presence.Behind him, Trent grinned like a loyal servant who had successfully summoned a deity.“Ladies and gentlemen,” he announced grandly, “this is Master Zhen Yuan, a God-level doctor from the East. A man who’s treated emperors in the East, billionaires in the West, and even royalty in Europe. His resume dwarfs that of eve

  • Chapter 019 – Melissa Finally Having Enough

    ******“Oh, right, your uncle. Sounds like something an arrogant person would do, and I’m way too prideful to be arrogant.”That line.It nearly sent Melissa collapsing with laughter. She bit her cheek hard enough to draw blood.Because if anyone in that room dripped with arrogance, it was Glenn Avery... the way he had just spoken and his words.In fact, right now, his very presence oozed a brand of pride so potent it made kings look insecure.And yet here he was, denying it with the swagger of someone who knew the truth... and dared the world to disagree.Trent, however, was less amused.Because right now, he looked as though someone had just stepped on his soul.His lips twitched once, then again. His face turned an angry crimson, fury simmering just beneath the surface.“This bastard… this nobody… dares to mock me?” he whispered, his voice quivering.His wife hurriedly reached for his arm, whispering frantically. “Honey, calm down—”But he yanked his arm free, something

  • Chapter 018 – I’m Way Too Prideful to be Arrogant

    ******Uncle Trent instantly shot a smug glance toward his own wife and children once he was done leaving the threat.“Hear that?” he barked triumphantly, his excitement palpable. “We’re finally taking over what rightfully belongs to us!”The four of them practically sparkled with anticipation.His son, looking like a sleazy trust fund villain in a cheap designer suit, smirked like a supervillain awaiting his monologue cue.His wife had already opened her phone and begun scrolling through mansions.His daughter was subtly practicing calling herself “Chairwoman.”And just like that, the air became electric with gloating.The four had dreamed of this moment… the day they would finally dethrone Melissa and her parents, booting them to the side, and finally stepping into the limelight.But in their minds now, the inheritance war was finally won.For as long as they could remember, Uncle Trent and his family had lived in the shadow of one truth… they would always be second best.

  • Chapter 017 – Trent’s Excitement

    ******“Melissa, what’s wrong with you? Are you trying to scam the entire family with some street performer? What is he? Your boyfriend dressed up as a healer for attention?”The voice of Trent Wales, Melissa’s uncle, boomed across the VVIP ward like a slap to the face, dripping with derision and laced with venomous sarcasm. The mockery in his eyes could’ve curdled milk.For a heartbeat, Melissa’s world stuttered to a halt. Her heart seemed to forget its rhythm, her breath catching mid-air.She had braced for many things… suspicion, even rejection. But this level of shameless slander? No.A muscle in her jaw tightened, and a cold sweat began to form at her nape. But her panic had nothing to do with humiliation or embarrassment. No, what gripped her now was pure, unfiltered fear.If the rumors about the Miracle Maker were true, then they were already dancing on the edge of disaster.She had read all the stories. Hell, she’d even gone down every rabbit hole the internet had to of

  • Chapter 016 – Are You Trying To Scam The Entire Family With Some Street Performer?

    ******The voice that just pierced the room wasn’t merely contemptuous… it was caustic, thick with ridicule, and laced with the smug superiority of someone who had never once been challenged.It sliced through the air like a dagger, dragging Glenn out of his stormy reverie.His brows lifted in the next second, slow and deliberate, finally taking in the extravagant room for the first time.Yet his face remained utterly impassive. Not a flicker of awe nor the faintest trace of surprise.Then his eyes drifted across the private ward, landing on the centerpiece of the space: the patient’s bed. No… this was no ordinary hospital bed.It rather, resembled a royal altar, draped in crisp linens and surrounded by humming machines and polished marble tiles, as if the patient within were some divine relic rather than a man hanging between life and death.And lying there… ashen, motionless, sunken in every place a man should hold vitality was Miles Wales.A man clinging to life by a single

  • Chapter 015 – The Reborn after Betrayal

    ******Even after Glenn was finally imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit and knew nothing about, he held no resentment, because it had been Selene and Perry who had begged him on their knees, weeping desperately.Glenn could still hear Perry’s voice like a haunting echo:Glenn could still vividly recall the moment Selene had pressed her trembling lips against his, right in the middle of the courthouse steps.Tears had glistened in her eyes, with what now looked not from sorrow, but from the grand performance she had so flawlessly executed.She had clung to him like a helpless damsel, whispering promises laced with emotion… promises that now felt like venom.“I’ll wait for you, husband,” she had sworn with unwavering conviction. “I will be the first face you will see the day you’re released. I will throw you a welcome party.”She had promised him her love wouldn’t diminish, that it would only grow stronger, deeper, and unshakable with time. That no matter the circumstances, n
