He slapped harder than the last, knocking out two of her teeth. âYou are absolutely ridiculous, woman!
If you donât know anything, then just shut up. Do you even know who she is? Sheâs the youngest
daughter of the head of the Stoermer family in Michigan! Sheâs an actual princess in this country, yet
you call her a scammer? You really do have a death wish, donâ t you?â
âWhat?â
âThe princess of the Stoermer family of Michigan? You youâre Miss Xyla Stoermer?â
Long Beach wasnât far from Michigan. Hence Shamus obviously knew about the Stoermer family of
Michigan. He knew who Xyla was as well. He couldnât even get the chance to ever suck up to such a
legendary and elegant woman, let alone get to know her.
âThatâs right! And I can swear on my life that everything I said was the truth and nothing but the truth.â
Xyla continued. âIf Mr. Rockefeller wants to place a bet of 100 billion, it would pose no problems. So, a
deal is a deal, right?â
Shamus started pondering. Now that Xyla had stepped up, the odds were beginning to go against him.
However, the 100 billion that Alex offered was enough to catch the greedy manâs interest.
More importantly, being an oncologist himself, he knew that no one in the world could ever cure Aliceâs
stage four cancer. This was why he still had hope in his knowledge.
Shamus nodded profusely and said, âAlright, should we sign a contract then?â
He was worried that Alex would go back on his words.
â100 billion! Even if I still had Mercy Hospital, it was worth 3 billion at most.â
âDeal!â
After placing their bets, Alex smiled cockily as he took a glance at Shamus. He then took a pill out of
his pocket and fed it to Alice.
As Kenneth watched him with confusion plastered all over his face, Alex explained, âThis is a
rejuvenation pill, normally used on fighters or cultivators. It can help one stay alive for another ten
years, so itâs more than enough to cure your wifeâs cancer! Besides, it can heal what the chemotherapy
has done to her body.â
One of the professionals that Shamus brought along couldnât help but scold Alex. âThatâs simply
atrocious! How could such medicine possibly exist? If this were real, then it wouldnât be medicine from
this mortal realm. It had to be from the Gods!â
âThatâs right! We donât know what this medicine is, and neither do we know of its side effects! How
could you just let the patient take this? What do we do if something happens to her? Mr. Sunder, you
have to be careful of such a strange medicine. If her condition worsens, the cancer cells would surely
spread throughout her entire body. Itâll be impossible to save her then,â another professional spoke up
as well.
However, Alice started coughing, spitting a small pool of blood onto the ground.
Seeing this, Karen started laughing out loud. âHahahaha! See that? This is what happens if you believe
in these scammers. Rejuvenation pill? Did you really think itâs some miracle pill? Besides, adding
another ten years to your life? Iâd say itâs sucking the life out of her! Great⦠Look what youâve done!
Sheâs definitely going to die now! Itâs too late to regret your actions! You evil being! Are you still going to
lie your way out of this, huh, kid?â
Shamusâ mouth curved up slightly. âYou lost Mr. Rockefeller, Miss Stoermer. The contract is effective,
you know?â
Thinking about how he was about to be pocketing 100 billion dollars, Shamus couldnât care less about
Aliceâs well-being.
Just then, Alice exhaled deeply.
She then kneeled before Alex and spoke, âThank you for saving me, Dr. Rockefeller. I wonât ever forget
your kindness and generosity.â
âWhat?!â
At the time, everyone except for Alex and Xyla were in utter disbelief.
