Chapter 184
“Caroline, you’re here.”An elderly man in simple clothes stepped out of a nearby room.“Dean!”Caroline rushed over and gently supported him.Though the dean’s eyes were kind, his complexion was pale—clearly the result of long-term illness.Caroline quickly introduced, “Dean Osborne, this is Mr. Jones. He came today to see if he can help treat your condition.”“Hello, Dean.”Anthony smiled politely and offered a respectful nod.Osborne looked at Anthony with admiration. “So young, yet already so skilled in medicine. I’m truly impressed, Mr. Jones.”“You flatter me, Dean.”Anthony replied humbly.Then Osborne turned to Caroline with a teasing smile. “Caroline, is Mr. Jones your boyfriend?”The question caught both of them off guard.Even the orphanage staff nearby looked on with curious smiles.Anthony’s expression turned slightly awkward, while Caroline’s face flushed red with embarrassment.She quickly waved her hands. “No, Dean, we’re just colleagues—he’s my superior.”Osborne chuc

He nodded. “Sure.”“Mhm.”Caroline gave a soft, almost shy nod.Then Anthony paused and said suddenly, “Caroline, why don’t you go back upstairs and get some rest? If you like my room that much, I can give it to you.”Caroline’s face turned red all the way to her ears.She had no idea how to respond to that.Anthony stood and headed upstairs. There were plenty of rooms on the second floor—he could just pick another one.After a few steps, he turned back. “Oh, right—what time tomorrow?”“Ah?”Caught off guard, Caroline quickly responded, “Whenever you decide is fine!”Anthony nodded. “Then I’ll take care of my things in the morning and we’ll go after that.”Serena Phillips was leaving Silverhaven City tomorrow morning. If she was flying out, he could at least see her off. They were friends, after all…“Alright!”Caroline replied without hesitation.She watched as Anthony went upstairs, and then followed quietly behind.True to his word, Anthony had left the room for her.Caroline felt

At 11:30 PM, a Bentley pulled up in front of the villa.Caroline Hill stepped out of the car, dressed in a sharp suit, still speaking on the phone.“Are the gifts I arranged all ready?” she asked.“They’re ready, Miss Hill,” came the voice on the other end.Caroline gave a soft hum of acknowledgment. “Good, I know now. You’ve all worked hard—go home and rest early. Take half a day off tomorrow.”“Thank you, Miss Hill! Thank you!”Gratitude poured through the phone before she ended the call.After returning to the villa, Caroline was about to enter Anthony’s room.But just as her hand touched the doorknob, she paused, turned around, and entered another room.She wanted to shower—and remembered all her clothes were in her own room.To be closer to Anthony, she had moved into the villa next to his.After a soothing shower, Caroline slipped into a silk nightgown and walked straight to Anthony’s door. Without hesitation, she pushed it open.She didn’t turn on the light. She didn’t need to

At that moment, in the rooftop restaurant, Serena Phillips and Anthony sat across from each other.“Mr. Jones, I’m truly sorry for the interruption earlier.” She knew full well what Anthony was capable of— He had taken down the Western King and wasn’t afraid to kill a young master of the Wilson family. Even Arthur Lawrence couldn’t compare to that kind of strength.Yet, she still felt uneasy. Because Arthur Lawrence’s identity was anything but ordinary.Anthony shook his head. “It’s fine. But… what exactly did you say to him just now?”He was genuinely curious. He had noticed that after Serena whispered something to Arthur, the guy’s expression had shifted—he looked at Anthony like he wanted to devour him.“N-Nothing important!” Serena replied quickly, then added, “Mr. Jones, let’s not worry about him. Come on, let’s eat.”Since she clearly didn’t want to talk about it, Anthony didn’t press. Dinner continued until after nine o’clock that evening.Just as the meal ended, Serena

“You mean you?” she asked.“Yes,” Anthony nodded. “Of course. As your friend, I’ll visit you too if I have the chance.”“Oh…” Serena looked a little disappointed, but said nothing more.“Let’s eat, Mr. Jones.”“Sure,” Anthony replied.Just then—“Sir, this area has been reserved. You can’t go in.”The sudden voice caught both Anthony and Serena off guard. They turned to look behind them.Soon, they saw the hostess from earlier being shoved in by several burly men. A tall figure was surrounded and escorted in like a VIP.“Haha, Serena! I finally found you!”A man walked in, wearing a crisp white shirt, over 1.8 meters tall, exuding a strong martial aura. His presence alone made it clear he wasn’t an ordinary man.Serena’s expression immediately darkened. “Arthur Lawrence? How did you find me here?”So this was Arthur Lawrence.Anthony noted the name clearly.Arthur’s eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at Serena. “Serena, I wanted to see you. I went to Aurelia City, but you

“Oh…” The sisters sat on the bed, visibly disappointed.They no longer pressed him.Seeing this, Anthony sighed and said, “You should both get some rest.”With that, he turned and headed downstairs.At the villa’s front entrance, he placed an energy seal over the building. This way, if the villa were ever breached, he’d sense it immediately. Even from anywhere in Silverhaven City, he could blink here in an instant.So, for now, the Osborne family was safe.But if he stayed a moment longer—he wouldn’t be.---After leaving the Osborne estate, Anthony returned directly to Villa No.1 in Crystal Haven. He swore he'd never set foot in the Osborne house again.Scarlett and Hazel clearly had intentions beyond the surface. If he stayed around them too long, something was bound to happen.For his own sanity, he had to leave.Still, he wasn’t worried. The Osborne family was now under his protection. No one would dare touch them.The night passed quietly.Anthony spent it immersed in study
