Meanwhile, Anthony and Caroline Hill, led by Raymond, arrived at the Phoenix Pavilion.Inside the private room sat a solemn-looking middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, dressed in a crisp white shirt. His short hair was neatly trimmed, though streaked with gray at the temples. The lines on his face told of time and experience.“Mr. Jones, this is Mayor Kingsley Hamilton of Silverhaven City,” Raymond introduced respectfully.Anthony glanced at Kingsley Hamilton, a flicker of sharpness passing through his gaze. He nodded and said, “Nice to meet you, Mayor Hamilton.”Kingsley studied him with curiosity, smiling warmly. “Mr. Jones, I must say, I’m impressed. To become the Vice President of the Medical Association at such a young age—truly admirable.”But instead of accepting the praise, Anthony stared at him for a moment, then calmly said, “Mayor Hamilton, if you ask me—you’re sick.”Instantly, the mayor’s expression froze.The smile on his face stiffened as he responded, voice low, “Mr.

“Isn’t it just red wine?” Anthony replied, puzzled.“Yes, it is red wine. But do you know how much it’s worth?”Peter’s expression turned serious. “This is a genuine Nine-Headed Eagle vintage from Country F. One bottle is worth seven to eight hundred thousand. Can you even afford to drink something like this?”Anthony blinked, still confused. “Does it matter if I can afford it? Wasn’t it a gift from the hotel manager?”“What!?” Peter scoffed. “That wine was sent because of me. Who said you were included? Don’t flatter yourself.”“Wait—this wine really costs that much?” Lydia Robinson gasped.“Well then, someone like you definitely shouldn’t be drinking it!” she said quickly. “Honey, let’s take it home.”Eight hundred thousand dollars! Even if she sold it herself, she could probably get half a million.“Of course. It was given to me,” Peter said proudly as he stood up, walked over, and snatched the bottle from Anthony’s hand.Now holding the wine, Peter felt relieved—and a little thril

“Heh, well, congratulations,” Caroline replied sincerely.Lydia then turned her gaze toward Anthony, smiling slyly. “You two actually look pretty well-matched, Caroline.”Caroline turned to Anthony, smiled, and nodded. “Yes, we do.”“Heh!”Lydia’s eyes flashed with disdain.In her eyes, Anthony was just a pretty face. He didn’t have even half the presence of her Peter.Peter, catching the vibe, looked Anthony over with a condescending smirk. “Hey, bro, not bad! You managed to land someone like Miss Hill—must mean you’ve got decent credentials. Where do you work?”Anthony smiled faintly and replied, “I’m just a doctor.”“A doctor?” Peter raised his brows. “What a coincidence—I’m in medicine too. Currently practicing.”Anthony nodded slightly, not particularly surprised, though he hadn’t expected Peter to be in the same field.Lydia covered her mouth and giggled. “Honey, since you're in the same profession, you should look after Caroline’s boyfriend a little, won’t you?”Peter chuckled

Just then, a female voice called out.“Caroline Hill?”Caroline and Anthony turned to see a well-dressed couple approaching from behind.The man was tall and lean, dressed in a sharp suit, with a handsome face.The woman was also attractive, though her heavy makeup and revealing outfit gave off a tacky, overly provocative vibe.“You’re... Lydia Robinson?” Caroline’s brows lifted slightly.“It really is you!” Lydia exclaimed, stepping forward with surprise in her eyes.“It’s been so long, Lydia. How have you been?” Caroline asked, clearly excited.Lydia lifted her chin slightly, a proud expression on her face. “Not bad. I’ve been traveling a lot with my boyfriend—domestic and overseas. We’ve been quite busy.”Caroline turned toward the man and nodded politely. “Hello, I’m Caroline Hill. Lydia and I grew up together.”Hearing her introduction, Lydia’s boyfriend began eyeing Caroline up and down, his gaze filled with obvious lust and greed.Compared to Lydia, Caroline was like a goddess

But before he could finish—Cough, cough!Osborne, standing nearby, suddenly coughed violently and vomited a mouthful of black blood.“This is bad!!”“Call an ambulance, now!”The staff were thrown into chaos.Anthony didn’t waste a second. He stepped forward, placed his hand on Osborne’s chest, and said calmly, “No need for an ambulance. Carry him inside. I’ll take care of it.”“Mr. Jones, can you really save him?” someone asked anxiously.Caroline answered immediately, “Don’t worry. Chairman Jones is a miracle doctor.”Reassured, the staff nodded and carried Osborne into the resting room.Once inside, Anthony asked everyone to leave—except for Caroline Hill.He kept one hand on Osborne’s chest, carefully diagnosing his condition.A moment passed, and Anthony withdrew his hand.“Mr. Jones, how is he?” Caroline asked impatiently.Anthony responded calmly, “Due to poor cardiac circulation, his organs are in systemic failure. Even if he were taken to a hospital, he wouldn’t survive.”“T

Max wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and turned to Anthony. “Chairman Jones, please, let me deal with this vile woman. Whatever she did to offend you, I’ll handle it.”Anthony chuckled. “She owes me one billion. What do you think I should do?”Max’s face drained of all color. His whole body trembled.“One... one billion?!”He turned to look at Bonnie.Bonnie, terrified, shook her head violently, denying everything.Max was stunned. A billion wasn’t a number he could even begin to make decisions on.Meanwhile, Anthony looked torn.He had just said that if Bonnie couldn’t pay, her company would. But now he realized—her company was his company.This was getting downright comical.Caroline Hill, sensing Anthony’s awkwardness, stepped forward with a frosty expression. “Max, is this how you manage the company I entrusted to you? This woman is one of yours, isn’t she? And you’ve been conspiring with her behind our backs—were you planning to embezzle company funds?”Max instantly panick
