Vincent walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, slightly parted the curtain, and looked at the lit-up street lights and floor lights around the manor.

“Spoak,” he ordered.

“The man works in a nightclub. Last night, someone offered him 60,000 dollars to go to the cemetery to push a man in a wheelchair down. He was fully disguised in his face was barely discernible. The nightclub was dim and chaotic. The two of them also avoided surveillance, so we couldn’t find them,” Zane replied.

Vincent knew Douglas was behind it. He seemed to have learned not to leave any evidence.

His eyes narrowed. “I see”

Zane inquired, “Mr. Fletcher, what should we do with him?”

“Put word out that he has snitched on the mastermind. Let him fend for himself,” said Vincent.

He replied, “Understood.”

Vincent meant to let the man go. His survival depended on whether he could avoid Douglas pursuit.

Vincent was never a merciful person. Since the man wanted to hurt him, he had to pay the price. Whether he could afford th

t price depended on himself.

Indeed, humans would do anything to become rich.

After hanging up, Vincent looked at Stephanie who was sleeping soundly. He walked to the bed and kissed her on her forehead.

“Good night, Stephie,” he whispered.

After that, he left the room in his wheelchair and headed to the study.

Meanwhile, in the mansion at suburb, Douglas was sitting on the couch.

He twirled the red wine in his glass while thinking about what Raphael had just said.

Raphael said that Kevin should go to the hospital or find a miracle doctor when he suddenly fell ill. At the very least, they should get a reputable doctor’s help. However, Vincent called Stephanie and asked for her help instead.

The housekeeper said Stephanie could diagnose pulses and do acupuncture. She even gave Ellen acupuncture treatment.

Stephanie claimed to have learned from the miracle doctor, but she clearly had a firm foundation. Even ordinary doctors wouldn’t try something so risky like doing acupuncture on the head.

Raphael suspected that she was the famous Miracle Doctor Summer. Although they looked different, Stephanie could’ve disguised herself or used the legendary hyper-realistic mask.

This deepened Douglas’ suspicion of her identity.

Last night in the exhibition hall, a sense of familiarity assailed him when he saw Stephanie threaten Florence with that silver needle.

‘Dr. Summer also uses a similar silver needle. Could Stephanie be her?’ he mused.

He quickly dismissed the idea, thinking it was highly unlikely. Miracle Doctor Summer probably taught Stephanie a few things on account of Viricent.

However, today, Vincent’s faith in Stephanie’s medical skills and her bold actions made him think that she was likely the miracle doctor.

He regretted his decision when Stephanie’s hidden identities were revealed one by one.

Why did I choose the idiotic Florence and lose such a good wife like Stephanie?’ lamented Douglas,

Furious, he squeezed the glass hard. The crimson wine mixed with the blood dripping from the cut on his palm, staining the white carpet.

He was determined to teach Florence a lesson. Not only did she make him lose everything, she even spread word that he was impotent.

As for Stephanie, he was determined to win her over.

Since she could make him impotent, she could also help him regain his virility.

More importantly, having Stephanie meant never-ending wealth.

He got up, approached the desk, and took an old phone from the drawer, turning it on the phone. As he clicked on a video in the phone, a sly smile played on his lips.

He dialed a number using another phone. “What’s your progress on seducing Julianna?*

The man replied, “She’s close to taking the bait.”

Douglas pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek. “Make her fall hard and drive a wedge between Julianna and Stephanie. Do you understand?”

“I understand, but now, in Julianna’s eyes, my status is far inferior to that of Stephanie,” the man said.

Douglas answered, “If you want to win a woman’s heart, you have to get her body first. Just sleep with her.”

“All right, I’ll speed things up,” he promised.

Douglas smiled. 11 be waiting for good news.”

Stephanie had been exhausted lately and ended up sleeping for two whole days.

The next morning, she woke up to Vincent’s handsome face.

Vincent asked, “Are you awake?”

Stephanie roused. “Yeah, I finally got enough sleep. I’ve been lethargic these days. I’m sorry for neglecting you.”

Vincent raised his eyebrow. “Then how will you compensate me?”

“How do you want me to make it up to you?” Stephanie asked.

“Wait a minute,” she then said with a smile and got ready to get out of bed.

Vincent grabbed her arm. “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to brush my teeth,” she replied.

“No need.” Vincent pulled her into his arms and pinned her under him, his intense gaze fixed on her. “I’ve brushed mine, and that’s enough”

As he was about to kiss her, she covered his mouth. “No, I’m going to brush my teeth.”

“I don’t mind,” he said, his voice muttled.

He held the girl’s hand, gently kissing it and gibbling her wrist. The sensation of his lips and teeth on her skin was irresistible.

His warm breath made her heart flutter. Stéphanie faltam electrifying sensation coursing through her veins, and her heartbeat raced

His kisses trailed along her arm, starting from her shoulder and gradually advancing to her neck, leaving a series of crimson imprints in their wake.

He bit her chin lightly and silenced the soft moan he elicited from her.

Stephanie wrapped her arms around his neck and indulged herself in the passionate kiss.

“Stephie, can we?” asked Vincent.

Stephanie’s beautiful eyes turned misty. She blinked and hummed in agreement

Vincent breathed heavily and swallowed hard.

The room fell quiet; only the sound of Vincent’s breathing traveled into Stephanie’s ear. They abandoned all restraint and allowed the pent-up

gush out.

Vincent pushed her nightgown up to her neck and let his instincts take over.

At that moment, the phone on the nightstand buzzed like a wake-up call

Vincent ignored it. He had another important matter at hand.

But the phone wouldn’t stop buzzing. Stephanie cupped the man’s face and looked at his red, seductive lips.

“Answer it,” she urged.

With a deep sigh, Vincent grabbed the phone. His expression changed instantly when he saw the number calling.

He got out of bed and said, “Speak.”

Vincent’s expression turned solemn after hearing what was said.

Ending the call, he looked at Stephanie who had sat up to straighten her nightgown. “Stephie, I have to go to Spaunia for about a week.”

“Is it dangerous?” she inquired.

He replied, “No, there’s just something wrong with a project.”

Vincent walked over and leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Wait for me. Call me if you need anything”

“So I can’t call you if there’s nothing?” Stephanie pulled a long face. “It’s like you don’t miss me at all.”

With a doting smile, Vincent lifted her and pressed up against her. “You tell me.”

Blushing, Stephanie turned her head away and said, “You e r v e t.”

“Then do you like m

my p e r v y side!” he asked.

Biting her lip, Stephanie felt embarrassed to answer that.

“Don’t bite your lip. Bite me,” he growled.

They shared a long, passionate kiss, and the exhilaration reignited.

Stephanie pushed him away and said, “You should go now.”

“Jeez, how cruel,” he teased.

Stephanie glared at him. “I’m not the one who’ll suffer in the end anyway.”

Vincent looked at the girl’s smooth, alluring skin which made him want to take a bite.

If the time wasn’t tight, he wouldn’t have let her off the h o k today

He held the girl’s face in his hands and planted another kiss before finally leaving

Vincent was all ready to head to the private airport when Stephanie suddenly got in the car before he left.

Beaming, she said, “I’ll send you off.”

The unexpected surprise made Vincent smile. “All right.”

Forty minutes later, Zane opened the back door and saw Stephanie’s red and swollen lips.

He almost rolled his eyes upon looking at Vincent’s dignified and aloof demeanor. Inwardly, he scoffed, ‘Even a fool can tell what just happened. He only looks refined and is actually a polished scoundrel.”

However, he dared not say that out loud.

Zane pushed Vincent onto the plane and Stephanie watched as the gangway retracted.

Before it was completely retracted, it slowly descended again.

Vincent took two steps at a time down the gangway and strode toward her.

Stephanie’s first reaction was to look around to see if anyone had witnessed this scene.

When she was about to chide him for being too careless, the man lifted her by the waist and kissed her lips.

After a long time, Vincent whispered in her ear, “Wait for me at home. I’ll come back as soon as possible.”

“Okay,” she answered.

Vincent caressed her red lips and looked at her affectionately before leaving.

This time, he really left.

She watched as the plane ascended into the sky until it was out of sight

Then, she got in the car and drove to the design studio.

At the new product launch, Starlight Design Studio won first place and was qualified to participate in the International Golden Finger Contest..

Most of the designers at the studio were impressed by Stephanie, while the rest remained steadfast in their support for Star. As a result, comments and discussions were bound to arise.

Some genuinely supported Star, while others were simply stirring up trouble.

Upon arriving at the design studio, Stephanie brought a cup to the pantry to fill some water when she heard murmurs inside.
