“Then wait for my daughter–in–law or come back tonight to collect from her!” Zoe snapped.
Scott knew his wouldn’t pay for her. Otherwise, she would have settled it when they met earlier.
Instead of getting angry, he said seriously. “Mrs. Anderson, we only make one debt collection visit. If you don’t pay me now, we’ll have to take other
Upon hearing that, Zor exploded instantly, screeching. “Who do you think you are! A restaurant worker dares to threaten met Go ask around who we are. Do you think we’d be scared of you!”
Scott scratched his ear softly, hoping his ear was okay after the destruction of Zor’s roaring.
He didn’t say more but maintained his politeness and left.

Zor watched him slink away without a word, her lips curling in a faint sneer. “What the heck! A coward learning to demand payment like otherst
Yet she had no inkling of the colossal price she was about to pay

was over three times bigger than the Anderson family’s
This was the place where she grew up. More precisely, where she grew up after five

his, when had never lud any family, never thought she would have relatives. On that day, her brother was like a ray of sunshine, warming her heart
Later, he brought her back here, saying this was their home,
Shir was very curious as books said that a family was made up of parents and siblings. Itut why didn’t they have parents in their family!
When she asked that spuestion, sadness instantly filled her brother’s eyes

He told her that there was only a brother and a sister in the

grateful to have such a family and such a good brother.
However, life wasn’t fair to her
The only family she had in her life was lost when she was fifteen.
That year, she became an orphan again…
The only difference from when she was a kid was that she inherited all of the Moore family’s assets and was worth over a billion at a young age
But none of this could warm her heart, She didn’t care about money; she just wanted to
to have a farmaly
This dream took root in her heart the day she could remember in the orphanage.
Perhaps that was why she was so easily moved by Adrian
She still remembered that they had been dating for less than half a year when Adrian proposed to her
He was full of deep affection, holding her hand and saying, “Isis, I want to give you a home…”
Those words deeply tour hard her heart.
Because it was the dream she had hidden in her heart since she was bule…
Unfortunately, she met the wrong person, and her love was misplaced.
Sering the grand villa. His pulled her thoughts back and pushed open the door.
The butler, Adam Nelson, noticed the commotion and hurried out to greet her, “Miss Why did you suddenly come back?” He was surprised to see
Smiling, Isis replied, “It’s nothing, just stopping by to look around.”
Ever since she and Adrian bought their new place, she hadn’t been back much. This villa was mostly left in the care of Adam now
She longed for a bustling family, not an empty, quiet home.
Adam was overjoyed at her return and accompanied her on a tour around the house.
As they walked, Adam chatted with her about trivial matters at home, and Isis suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable security in her hear
Madway through his enthusiastic chatter, bus chimed in, “Adam. I should be moving back home soon.”
Adam was momentarily stunned, confused.

But I didn’t elaborate, just patted his shoulder with deep gratitude. “Adam, thank you for all these years.
Before the time traveled, the Anderson family had taken over all of the Moore family’s assets after her death. She had no idea how Adam, who had guarded this place his whole life, had ended up
At the thought of the tragic end of her past life, her chest tightened with uncase
This time, she vowed to take care of everyone who had truly cared for her.
Adrian still hadn’t returned home by evening, saying the patient’s condition was critical and he couldn’t leave.
Isis grew more puzzled. Was Adrian deliberately avoiding me because he didn’t want the divorce!
Meanwhile, at St. Stephen Hospital, the atmosphere was terise, with everyone on edge.
A senior with heart failure had been rushed in at midnight, and it was only thanks to the director, Michael Green’s emergency efforts that the patient had been pulled back from the brink of death.
In the cardiothoracic surgery conference room, heart surgery experts from famous hospitals, along with the director, Robert Campbell, and all the doctors were discussing the patient’s condition.
After two hours of resuscitation, Michael, exhausted, had been sent to rest, leaving the rest of the issues to be resolved by the others
For an entire day, they hadn’t come up with a treatment plan for the patient. Samuel Carter, and everyone’s faces were grave
This included Adrian and Layla.
Layla just got back from overseas studies and was already acting director at St. Stephen Hospital, which showed how much they valued her,
Everyone seemed helpless, and at this moment, the head of the Caner family, Julian Carter was waiting in the ward for their discussion results.
Robert was beyond anxious. His eyes landed on Layla as if he thought of something. “Dr. Wilson, could we use Stream Cut surgery for this patient?”
Stream Cut was super high–level, and Layla was known in the medical field for it.
She knew this was her shot. The patient might be unknown to her, but the entourage suggested serious money or power. If she saved this big–shot patient, she might just get promoted further,
But high rewards came with high risks. The elderly patient was old and suffered from severe heart failure; even God might not bring him back.
Layla had to pass up this chance, saying, “Sorry, Mr. Campbell, the patient’s condition’s too risky for surgery, not even with Stream Cut.”
Robert was disheartened at her words. If Stream Cut was not an option, they were truly stuck
In the top VIP ward, black–suited bodyguards at the door added serious pressure.
Robert nervously shared their findings with the patient’s family, a man equally overwhelming in his presence.
He frowned at the lifeless old man, his cold eyes hinting at worry. His black trench coat amplified his already icy vibe, making him look both noble and intimidating
Robert quickly reported and dashed out, his heart racing.
He couldn’t forget the man’s threat; if they couldn’t save him, they’d all die with him. Maybe just a scare tactic, but it worked….
The new head of the Carter family, as the rumors say, is indeed terrifying.” Robert said inwardly.
Within the ward, an assistant beside Julian reported in a hushed tone, “Mr. Carter, the nation’s top cardiac surgeons are all here, and even they are at a loss. The only hope might be the Divine Doctor Midnight.”
“Any news on Midnight?” Julian’s brows furrowed slightly as he asked coldly.
