- Divine Touch

"Kid, you really have some nerve!" The doctor exploded with fury!

In their hearts, Mabel Sean was an untouchable goddess, a heavenly beauty! How could they tolerate someone like me dishonoring her?

Even Mabel's bodyguards stepped forward in unison, ready to pounce!

Mabel looked at me with an icy expression on her face.

After a moment of silence, Mabel finally agreed.

Mabel lay on the bed, her white chest exposed before me.

I felt my cheeks burning red as I approached her.

"Miss Mabel, I... pardon me," I whispered.

Gathering my courage, I reached out my hand and slowly placed it on Mabel's body.

Mabel was simply breathtaking! Compared to her, Lyla Lucas couldn't even compare!

And her figure was truly extraordinary, making it nearly impossible for anyone to maintain their composure in her presence.

The doctor and bodyguards nearby were practically bulging their eyes out.

If it weren't for Mabel's forbearance, they probably would have torn me into pieces!

I suppressed my wild thoughts and focused on stabilizing my mind.

Following the method in the medical scriptures, I channeled the qi in my dantian like a swimming dragon and put it to use.

A warm current flowed from my palm and slowly entered Mabel's body.

Mabel only felt warmth, her entire body slightly heated, as if she was submerged in a hot spring.

Time ticked by, and sweat began to roll down my forehead.

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed.

This made Mabel somewhat angry.

There had to be a limit to taking advantage! Wasn't it enough?

Moreover, besides the warmth in her body, Mabel hardly noticed any improvement!

On the contrary, she felt breathless and stifled in her chest, unable to help but cough!

"It seems that grandpa really overestimated him," Mabel secretly thought to herself.

At this moment, I finally took my hand away from Mabel's body.

Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I whispered, "Miss Mabel, I've just finished your treatment. You should recover in about ten minutes."

Mabel sat up on the bed and couldn't help but sneer, "Ten minutes to recover? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

After saying this, Mabel coughed violently again, her face turning somewhat pale.

I stood there, looking uneasy and not knowing where to put my hands.

"Miss, let us chop him up!" The burly bodyguards shouted.

However, Mabel waved her hand and glanced at the clock on the wall, saying, "I'll give him ten minutes."

I was also unsure deep down.

This fantastic encounter made it hard for me to distinguish between reality and a dream.

The bodyguards came forward and surrounded me, as if fearing that I would run away.

In the blink of an eye, nine minutes had passed.

Mabel looked at the clock and coldly said, "It seems you really are lying to me. How was it? Did you enjoy touching me?"

I couldn't help but give a bitter smile, knowing that there was no point in explaining myself at this point, so I simply said nothing.

The bodyguards stepped forward, seemingly ready to take action.

There was no panic on my face.

I had completely lost hope in the world. Death, perhaps, would be a relief.

"Forget it." At this point, Mabel waved her hand.

"For some reason, I'll spare your life, but don't let me see you again," Mabel said coldly.

I didn't say much; I stood up and bowed to Mabel.

"Miss Mabel, I'm sorry for bothering you," I said. After that, I turned around and prepared to leave.

"Miss, are we really letting him go?" After I left, the bodyguards said with dissatisfaction.

Mabel glanced at them without saying a word.

"Consider it a favor to his father," Mabel sighed with some regret, but there was still a hint of disappointment on her face.

Because before she came to River City, her grandpa had praised Mason Raymond to the skies, which filled Mabel's heart with expectations.

"Grandpa, it seems you really misjudged him," Mabel sighed softly.

At this moment, Mabel suddenly felt a wave of warmth!

Then, she coughed once – a mouthful of black filth spat out from her mouth!

"Miss, are you alright?"

"What the hell did that guy do! I'm going to catch him right now!"

"I want to skin him alive!"

Mabel, however, quickly waved her hand.

She felt her chest, surprised to find that the suffocating sensation that had lingered for years was gone! The itchiness in her throat had also completely disappeared!

"It really worked?" A touch of surprise appeared on Mabel's cold and beautiful face.

"Quick, go and bring him back!" Mabel hurriedly ordered.

- Unexpected Ally

Although the bodyguards didn't understand the situation, they didn't dare to go against Mabel Sean's wishes and quickly chased after me.

I wandered aimlessly along the street, feeling completely desperate. Where should I go? Home? That definitely wasn't an option. Would I end up living on the streets?

"Dad, I've let you down," I thought of the man in my dream.

Just then, a Bentley drove up swiftly, blocking my way!

Four or five bodyguards jumped out of the car.

"Don't go!" The bodyguards blocked my path.

"Miss Sean wants you to go back with us," they said expressionlessly.

I thought Mabel wouldn't let me off the hook, so I said with a bitter smile, "I'll take responsibility for what I've done. I'll go back with you."

So, I got into the car with them.

There was silence throughout the ride.

Soon, a burly bodyguard gripped my arm and brought me before Mabel.

"Miss Sean, I've caught him for you!" The bodyguard pushed me in front of Mabel.

Mabel frowned slightly.

She slowly stood up and walked to the bodyguard.

"Who told you to treat him like this?" Mabel asked coldly.

The bodyguard was taken aback, stammering, "I...I..."

"Apologize to Mr. Raymond," Mabel said coldly.

"Miss Sean, I..."

"I told you to apologize!" Mabel interrupted the bodyguard's words with a sharp rebuke!

The bodyguard's face turned red.

Apologizing to someone like me clearly went against his will.

But no one dared to disobey Mabel's orders, so he reluctantly bowed down.

"So...sorry, Mr. Raymond," the bodyguard bent down, not even daring to raise his head.

I quickly replied, "Miss Sean, it's fine. It's not his fault. Please, let him stand up..."

Mabel finally nodded and coldly said, "You all can leave now."

Everyone left the room one after another.

Mabel opened a bottle of red wine, poured a glass for me, and then smiled, "I never expected that you'd be a skillful doctor."

I was surprised and asked happily, "Miss Sean, does that mean... your illness is cured?"

"Or what?" Now it was Mabel's turn to be surprised.

"That's great, that's great!" My heart was reignited in an instant!

It seemed that everything was real!

"But I'm curious, with your medical skills, how did you end up like this?" Mabel asked with interest.

I sighed softly upon hearing her words.

"Miss Sean, I don't know how to explain it to you..." I said with a bitter smile.

I couldn't say that I had a dream and suddenly acquired medical skills, right? People would think I'm a fool if I said that.

However, Mabel thought I was just being modest and low-key, which instead increased her liking for me.

"Skillful but unprincipled?" Mabel joked.

I gave an awkward laugh but didn't speak.

"Tell me, how do you want me to repay you? Money? Or something else?" Mabel asked playfully, as if hinting at something.

But I quickly waved my hands, "Miss Sean, I don't need anything. You saved me; I should be the one repaying you."

"Really? You don't want anything?" Mabel smiled.

"No matter what it is, I can agree to it, you know," Mabel's eyes were filled with anticipation.

I still shook my head, "I really don't need anything. Thank you for your kindness."

Hearing my answer, a glimmer of surprise flashed in Mabel's eyes.

Just then, my phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the caller ID, my face didn't look too good.

It was a phone call from Lyla Lucas.

I answered the phone and walked aside.

Once the call connected, Lyla's harsh voice came through, "Are you dead yet? If you're not dead, hurry up and get back here!"

Such coldness angered me.

I gritted my teeth and said, "After what you've done, why should I go back?"

Lyla on the other end burst into laughter.

"Mason Raymond, don't tell me you thought I wanted you to come back? I'm telling you to come back to sign our divorce papers!" Lyla sneered.

"You better not cling to me, or Harvey Brown will kill you!" Lyla snorted.

My fists clenched unconsciously.

I gritted my teeth and said, "Lyla, you're an animal! Don't worry, I won't bother you! But I'm telling you, you'll definitely regret this!"

"Heh, the thing I regret the most is marrying a loser like you," Lyla sneered.

Then, she hung up the phone.

My expression was complicated.

It was impossible not to have feelings after three years.

But more than that, it was humiliation and anger.

"What's wrong?" Mabel asked with a smile as she took a sip of red wine.

I shook my head and said, "Miss Sean, I... I need to go home. There's something I have to deal with..."

Mabel blinked and asked, "Divorce?"

I was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"

"I guessed," Mabel casually replied.

"I'll go with you," Mabel stood up and offered.

"No...no need," I waved my hands hastily.

Mabel persistently replied, "I'll go with you. Don't make a fuss."

With no other choice, I followed Mabel out of the house.

As soon as we stepped out, Mabel's secretary approached her.

He whispered into Mabel's ear, "Miss Sean, the Chuzzle Province governor and the commander of the Chuzzle Battle Zone have arrived and invited you to a dinner..."

Hearing this, Mabel couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

She rubbed her pale forehead and muttered, "What a bother... tell them to wait a bit. I'll be there later."

"Yes, Miss," the secretary nodded in response.

Afterward, Mabel drove up to me.

"Get in," Mabel beckoned with her hand.

I couldn't refuse and got into the car.

Soon, I arrived at the Lucas family's entrance.

"Miss Sean, I'm home. Thank you for bringing me here," I got out of the car and said politely.

To my surprise, Mabel also got out of the car.

She flicked her hair back and smiled generously, "I'll come in with you."

"Huh?" I was taken aback.

Mabel smiled, "I want to see what your family is like."

- Silent Vengeance

The thought of returning home filled me with dread, knowing humiliation awaited me there. I desperately wanted to avoid anyone seeing me in such a pathetic state.

Mabel seemed to read my thoughts perfectly.

She offered a gentle chuckle and said, "Some challenges become less difficult once you face them head-on, don't they?"

Taking a deep breath, I nodded and walked into the house alongside Mabel.

The family had gathered in the living room.

Harvey brazenly sat with Lyla nestled in his arms. Instead of showing any disapproval, my mother-in-law Maeve bustled around serving Harvey tea and refreshments.

The scene before me made maintaining my composure impossible. My fists clenched involuntarily, and just as I prepared to speak, Mabel tugged at my arm, subtly shaking her head.

I glanced at Mabel and swallowed my anger.

"Well, look at this," Lyla remarked, eyeing Mabel with obvious disdain. "We aren't even divorced yet, and you've already found yourself a little tramp?"

Though Lyla harbored no genuine feelings for me, seeing me with someone else clearly sparked her jealousy.

Meanwhile, Harvey stared at Mabel, completely mesmerized. Her beauty was undeniable – her figure, features, and demeanor all proved absolutely captivating. Standing next to Mabel, Lyla suddenly appeared remarkably ordinary.

"This is my friend," I stated coldly. "Please show some respect."

Lyla responded with a dismissive snort, ignoring me completely. "Tsk, tsk, sweetie," she said mockingly to Mabel. "You really have terrible taste, picking up something I've thrown away. Don't you know he's nothing but a useless loser?"

Mabel remained perfectly composed. She casually brushed aside a strand of hair and replied calmly, "Incompetent women need men to elevate their status. I'm nothing like you."

Lyla instantly erupted with rage at these words!

"You!" she sputtered, trembling with anger but finding herself completely unable to formulate a response.

Harvey eyed Mabel hungrily, visibly swallowing as he struggled to control his attraction to such beauty.

"Miss, you don't appear to be an ordinary person," Harvey said with a practiced smile. "May I ask what business you're in?"

Mabel considered for a moment before responding, "I handle various enterprises – real estate, investments, internet ventures, and more."

"Real estate?" Harvey's eyes lit up immediately.

He puffed with pride. "Miss, are you aware that the Sean Family from Capital City is planning development projects here in River City?"

Mabel nodded casually. "I am."

"Between us," Harvey continued smugly, "my Brown family has already secured a partnership with the Sean family! Miss, would you perhaps be interested in working with me?"

Harvey's intentions couldn't have been more transparent – using the Sean family connection as bait to lure Mabel.

Rather than appearing impressed, Mabel burst into laughter. "The Brown family, is it? I'll certainly remember that," she said between chuckles.

Harvey, misreading her response as interest, felt a surge of excitement. He quickly produced a business card. "Feel free to contact me if you need anything at all."

"What do you think you're doing?" Lyla snapped irritably.

Harvey cleared his throat awkwardly and stepped back.

Lyla retrieved a divorce agreement and slammed it down in front of me.

"Sign this, and we're done forever," she stated coldly.

I clenched my fists, staring intensely at Lyla. "You'll regret this decision, Lyla," I promised.

"Enough wasting time!" Lyla interrupted impatiently.

Without further comment, I grabbed the pen, quickly signed my name, and tossed the document back at her.

"Eventually, I'll make both you adulterers kneel and beg for forgiveness!" I declared, my eyes bloodshot with fury. This humiliation would remain etched in my memory forever.

Lyla and Harvey responded with mocking laughter.

"You idiot," Lyla jeered. "We're about to partner with the Sean family and potentially become River City's wealthiest residents. And you? You're still just a worthless nobody!"

I took a deep breath, remained silent, and departed with Mabel.

Once inside her car, I couldn't contain my emotions any longer.

"Just wait and see," I growled through clenched teeth.

With the inheritance fresh in my mind, confidence surged through me.

Mabel suddenly asked, "Do you hate them?"

I glanced at her and offered a bitter smile. "This kind of humiliation would break any man."

Mabel blinked thoughtfully, seemingly lost in contemplation.

Later, Mabel drove me to the Dragon Rising Community in central River City.

She handed me a key, pointing toward a nearby villa. "You can stay here for now."

I gazed up at the luxurious residence in astonishment.

Shaking my head, I protested, "Miss Mabel, this house is far too nice... I can't accept this."

Mabel shrugged casually. "This is actually my least impressive property."

I stood speechless.

Having nowhere else to go, I reluctantly accepted Mabel's key.

"I'll never forget your kindness, Miss Mabel," I promised, clutching the key with determination.

Mabel rolled her eyes. "Don't be foolish. Focus on taking care of yourself first."

With those words, she drove away.

As dusk settled, Mabel traveled in a Capital City-licensed Maybach toward an exclusive dinner gathering. The event had attracted virtually every influential figure in Chuzzle Province, with even River City's wealthiest residents relegated to serving roles.

During the journey, Mabel leaned on her hand, deep in thought.

"Miss, are you seriously considering marrying that loser?" her secretary inquired hesitantly.

Mabel cast him a sidelong glance. "Honestly, I'm beginning to think my grandfather was right."

"Believe the old Master?" The secretary appeared troubled.

"He's clearly a useless nobody! How could he possibly compare to those sophisticated gentlemen from Capital City?" the secretary pressed urgently.

Mabel shook her head. "I disagree. Consider this – he possesses remarkable abilities yet remains humble, and despite his current hardships, he never asked for compensation after saving me."

"How would you react if your wife humiliated you like that?" Mabel questioned.

The secretary frowned and snorted, "I certainly wouldn't let them get away with it!"

"Exactly!" Mabel smiled knowingly.

"He didn't request my assistance, which demonstrates his integrity," she added.

The secretary muttered, "Perhaps he's simply enduring it."

"No, I believe he'll accomplish something remarkable someday," Mabel replied, her eyes shining with anticipation.

The secretary smiled skeptically. "Someday? Even with ten lifetimes of effort, he might never match those polished Capital City gentlemen."

"That's not necessarily true," Mabel countered. "Young men just need time to prove themselves."

She abruptly changed subjects. "By the way, do we have a company called Brown family among our business partners?"

The secretary quickly consulted his notebook. "Yes, Miss. The Brown family has shown genuine interest, and their company ranks among River City's finest. They'd make excellent partners."

Mabel acknowledged this with a simple "Oh," then added without hesitation, "Kick them out."
