C139: Are You Cursing My Husband?
Meanwhile, back inside the villa, Celeste watched the direction Veyron had disappeared with unconcealed disdain. A mocking smile curled across her lips."Hmph! Beg him to come back?" she scoffed. "Who does he think he is? The audacity."Lucas let out a faint chuckle as he unpacked his medical kit. "Mrs. Mercer, why waste your energy on someone like him?" His tone was filled with confidence. "He's nothing more than a con artist who got lucky once or twice. People like that survive by bluffing. They aren't worth remembering.""Exactly." Celeste folded her arms proudly. "Now that he's gone, the house finally feels peaceful."She looked toward Charles with concern. "Dr. Hayes, please treat my husband. I've waited long enough."Lucas nodded. "Leave everything to me."He placed the leather medical case on the coffee table before opening it with practiced ease.Inside lay rows of gleaming silver needles arranged according to size.Without wasting another second, he crouched beside Charles a

"Mrs. Mercer," Lucas said with a faint smile, gently interrupting her. "Since this is Mr. Mercer's decision... let's leave it at that."He slowly turned toward Veyron, his eyes filled with unconcealed disdain. "Now that everyone knows the truth, I doubt he'll have the courage to deceive anyone ever again.""Hmph!" Celeste folded her arms and looked at Veyron arrogantly. "You should be thanking Dr. Hayes. If he hadn't exposed you today, I would've reported you already."Veyron merely glanced at her before letting out a quiet chuckle. The corners of his lips lifted slightly.Thank him?This fool?Seeing that he wasn't the least bit embarrassed only made Celeste angrier."What are you laughing at?" Her voice rose several degrees. "Have you no shame?""Mrs. Mercer, don't waste your energy arguing with someone like him." Lucas lightly patted her shoulder. He smiled politely. "We're educated people. There's no need to lower ourselves to his level.""Exactly." Celeste nodded immediately. "We
C137: Illegal Medicine Practice
"Oh?" Lucas let out a faint, disdainful chuckle. "So you're still unconvinced?"He folded his arms across his chest before asking slowly, "Then allow me to ask you something. Do you possess a medical practitioner's license?"The room instantly fell silent. Everyone's eyes shifted toward Veyron.He merely looked at Lucas before answering without the slightest hesitation. "No."There was complete silence. The answer landed like a stone thrown into a still lake. No one had expected him to admit it so openly.More shocking than the answer itself was how calm he remained while saying it. It was as though he had merely stated an ordinary fact."You..." Celeste's eyes widened in disbelief before rage quickly replaced her surprise. She pointed a trembling finger at Veyron. "You fraud! How dare you practice medicine without a license?""Do you have any idea how serious that is?" Her beautiful face twisted with anger. "The nerve you have is unbelievable!"Charles' expression also darkened. He s
C136: Watch Your Tongue
Veyron's brows rose ever so slightly as another figure entered the living room.The newcomer appeared to be in his late thirties. He possessed sharp, well-defined features, neatly styled black hair, and carried himself with the quiet confidence of someone accustomed to being admired.Every one of his steps was steady, projecting absolute self-assurance. "Dr. Hayes!" Celeste's eyes immediately brightened. A smile finally appeared on her face as she hurried over to welcome him."Honey." She turned excitedly toward Charles. "This is Dr. Lucas Hayes. He graduated at the top of his class from Meridian National Medical University.""So..." Edmund Prescott's eyes widened slightly. "It's Dr. Lucas Hayes."A look of recognition crossed his face. "I've heard quite a lot about you."He pointed toward Lucas with admiration. "Weren't you one of the very few outstanding graduates personally invited to receive guidance at the Ancient Sage Medical Pavilion?"Lucas smiled modestly. "I was fortunate e
C136: No Reason To Stay
All eyes instinctively turned toward the staircase. The stunning young woman in her late twenties descended gracefully, each step elegant and unhurried.She was dressed in a tailored cream-colored suit that perfectly accentuated her slender figure. Every movement carried effortless confidence and sophistication.Rather than the wife of a patient, she looked more like a celebrity attending a fashion gala."Celeste." Edmund smiled faintly. "Don't judge him by his age."He gestured confidently toward Veyron. "Mr. Blackthorne may be young, but his medical skills are extraordinary."Celeste's beautiful eyes slowly drifted toward Veyron. She looked him over from head to toe. A trace of undisguised contempt appeared on her face."Extraordinary?" Her lips curled into a mocking smile. "He looks more like a first-class fraud."The atmosphere instantly became awkward. Veyron merely lowered his gaze and casually adjusted the wristwatch on his left wrist, as though he hadn't even heard her remark.
C134: A Swindler
About an hour later, a sleek black Bentley glided through the grand gates of Royal Oaks Estate before following the winding stone driveway toward a magnificent private villa.The car came to a smooth stop in the spacious courtyard. The moment the engine went silent, a neatly dressed butler hurried out of the house to receive them."Welcome, Master Prescott." He bowed respectfully before turning toward Veyron. "Welcome, sir."The butler straightened before looking at Edmund Prescott."Master has been waiting for your arrival. He's currently in the living room."Edmund nodded without wasting another second. "Good. Take us there.""This way, please." The butler immediately led the two men inside.The moment Veyron stepped through the entrance, his gaze casually swept across the villa.Unlike its elegant European exterior, the interior embraced a warm contemporary wooden design.The polished timber floors, exposed wooden beams, soft amber lighting, and handcrafted furniture created the at
