"How long have you been seeing her?" Tessa asked, her voice dropping to a harsh, brittle whisper.

Damon glanced sideways at Vanessa before looking back down at his ex-fiancée.

"Does it matter?"

Tessa's lips parted slightly. For a fleeting second, she had expected anger. She had braced herself for defensiveness, or perhaps a clumsy, desperate attempt to explain himself. Instead, Damon met her gaze with a flat, empty indifference—the kind of look reserved for someone you pass on the street and

    "Alright, Ms. Voss, let's get down to business," Damon said, slightly overwhelmed by Vanessa's antics. Her every move was irresistible, and he could not handle it anymore.Vanessa's flirtatious smile faded as she nodded, "Yes, let's talk business.""Cec, I believe Dr. Cahallan can treat your condition," Vanessa stated confidently.Cecilia glared at Damon, scoffing, " Him? I've consulted top specialists nationwide and even visited renowned experts in Braundville. They all said it was complicated. What makes this small-time doctor think he's capable?"Damon frowned, "If I'm not mistaken, the condition you're seeking treatment for is vaginal atresia, correct?"Cecilia felt embarrassed at the mention of her condition. She turned to Vanessa and asked, "Vanessa, this was our secret. Why did you tell this jerk?"Vanessa quickly defended herself, "Cec, I swear I never told him anything about your condition."Cecilia was skeptical. "Then how does he know about my... condition?"Damon calmly re

    At that moment, Damon received a call from Donovan Kessler."Mr. Cahallan, Tessa wants that orphanage property. Should we give it to her?" Donovan asked.Damon thought for a moment before replying, "Handle it as you see fit. But given our history, if Ashbourne Enterprises makes a decent offer, let them have it."Donovan sighed, "I knew you still had a soft spot for that woman. Alright, I guess Ashbourne Enterprises is getting a good deal."Soon after, Tessa received news that Blackthorn Capital had agreed to let Ashbourne Enterprises develop the property. She was overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events and could hardly believe it."Mr. Kessler finally changed his mind?"The staff who delivered the message explained, "Ms. Whitlock, your reputation as Jayrodale's rising business star precedes you. To be frank, Mr. Kessler received a phone call and immediately agreed to give it to you."Tessa was stunned when she heard that one phone call had changed Donovan's mind. She turned to Becket

    News of Julian's dismissal spread like wildfire through the hospital, leaving staff in shock at the unexpected turn of events."Serves him right! That creep's been harassing nurses for ages.""What an amazing news! It's about time someone stood up to the Mercers. Dr. Cahallan's got guts!"Many were relieved Damon had come out unscathed, while those who had hoped to see him go were baffled. They wondered how Richard lost this battle, as it simply did not add up. After all, Damon no longer had Tessa's support, and he was nothing in their eyes.Some of the more imaginative male doctors exchanged knowing glances, wondering if Damon had somehow charmed Cecilia too. If so, they would never forgive him for snagging such a prize.On the other hand, Emma's colleagues could not resist teasing her."Dr. Cahallan played the hero for you, Emma. Shouldn't you show your appreciation?""That's right, Emma! You're the belle of our hospital, and I think the only one who could sweep you off your feet is

    Cecilia Montgomer glanced at Cahallan from behind her desk, irritation rising at his seemingly indifferent attitude. "Dr. Cahallan, don't you have anything to say for yourself? Or do you admit to Dr. Richard's accusations and violation of hospital policy? If so, you can pack your things and leave this hospital. I don't condone unruly behaviors here." Cahallan frowned. "Dr. Montgomer, since you called us here, I assume you're already informed of the matter. Why ask questions you already know the answers to?" "You..." Cecilia Montgomer glared at Cahallan, her temper flaring. Richard seized the moment and chimed in, "Dr. Montgomer, look at him! He has no humility or respect. He's nothing but a thug. I suggest we fire him immediately and blacklist him from the medical profession entirely!" Cahallan replied coldly, "Richard, you and Julian are the real disgrace to this profession. How could you lie through your teeth?" Richard turned to Cecilia Montgomer, pleading, "Dr. Montgomer, he

    Andrew replied calmly, "Oh well, it's not like they were much of use to him anyway.Emma looked puzzled, not quite understanding his meaning. However, Damon did not elaborate further. With his medical expertise, he had long ago diagnosed Julian's issues with impotence and premature ejaculation. Hence, his penis was practically useless.Suddenly, the office door burst open. Richard stormed in with a group of hospital staff, his face turning ashen at the sight of Julian writhing on the floor and clutching his crotch."Dr. Cahallan, as a medical professional, you've violated ethics by assaulting a colleague. Do you understand the consequences?" Richard growled.A doctor examining Julian exclaimed, "This is bad, really bad!"Richard's face paled. "What is it? Did this bastard kill my son?"The doctor shook his head. "No, Dr. Julian's just unconscious. But I'm afraid... his ability to have children may be permanently compromised."The room fell silent, shocked gazes filled with pity direct

    The hostile blonde man blocking his path was none other than Gary, Victoria's deadbeat nephew. "Couldn't win fair and square, so now you're resorting to armed threats?" Damon asked. His expression remained utterly composed despite the blade glinting in Gary's hand. Victoria snarled, "Damon, don't forget your place! Tessa gave you everything for three years. How dare you treat her like this?" Damon let out a harsh laugh at her sheer nerve. "You should be asking what I gave Tessa over those three years, not the other way around." "Bullshit!" Victoria spat. "You've been leeching off my daughter's money. What could a penniless, shameless parasite like you possibly give her?" Damon scoffed. "Is that so? If I recall correctly, I single-handedly secured several crucial contracts for Whitlock Industries. And wasn't I the one who bailed your good-for-nothing nephew out of jail? Your family truly has no shame." Victoria's face flushed crimson with fury and embarrassment. "You ungrateful
