Chapter 297 How could Charlotte be Asclepius? Roger just stood there, staring, his eyes wide with disbelief as Charlotte faced him. His parents had always said Lottie was still in high school, just an ordinary student at Vanguard. How could a girl like that be Asclepius, the legendary figure everyone

Chapter 296 “Careful.” Charlotte turned off her phone, gave Kenneth a quick look, and said with quiet politeness, “Thank you, Kenneth.” The way she said his name was so sweet it made Kenneth’s worries disappear. He broke into a wide, genuine smile. “My pleasure.” They walked through the garden and

Chapter 295 “Anthony, am I invisible or something?” Kenneth yanked off his sunglasses and tossed them into the sports car, his tone sharp. “Lottie, come here.” Anthony just grinned and, instead of letting go, leaned in even closer to Charlotte, his breath tickling her ear. “Lottie, Kenneth’s picking on me

Chapter 294 “Girlfriend?” The word caught Charlotte off guard. For a second, she just sat there, cheeks tinged with a soft blush. When she didn’t reply, Anthony leaned in close, his breath warm against her skin. His voice dropped, teasing her. “What’s wrong? You’re done with the assignment, and now

Chapter 293 A soft sound slipped from Charlotte’s lips, snapping Anthony out of his thoughts. He put his phone down and unfastened the top button of his shirt with practiced ease, then made his way over to the bed and leaned over her. Was she awake? Charlotte was still lost

Chapter 292 So many pills had been forced into her that some had broken apart, mixing and fermenting in her stomach. That was one of the reasons she died. Most of the procedure fell to Charlotte. With her right hand injured, the whole thing was brutal. By the time they

Chapter 291 An autopsy was nothing like doodling on paper. One wrong move and there could be real consequences. Roger stood there, his face set in a hard line. He clearly didn’t trust the young professor. His voice was cold. “Asclepius, if you’re not up for this, I’ll take over.”

Chapter 290 No wonder the old guys at the Forensics Society dumped this mess on him. They really did just shove him into the fire. Roger pressed his lips together and glanced at the woman next to him. Charlotte, with her cool, arrogant vibe, barely looked his way. He couldn’t

Chapter 289 Asclepius is here? The second the assistant spoke, everyone in the lounge sat up straighter, eyes glued to the door. The whole room had been buzzing, but now it felt like the air tightened, anticipation rolling in heavy waves. Asclepius was a legend in forensic circles, the kind

Chapter 288 Anthony shifted, kneeling on the sofa as he gently dried her hair. Charlotte leaned in a little, her forehead bumping against his firm chest. She breathed in his clean, comforting scent, feeling something warm settle inside her. He was a good guy, and his family was wonderful too.

Chapter 287 “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, Anthony won’t dare mess with you.” Patricia squeezed Charlotte’s hand, her eyes full of warmth and affection. “You’re so skinny. Has Anthony been too busy to look after you properly?” She gave Charlotte’s slender arms a sympathetic look. It was hard

Chapter 286 Patricia got more fired up the more she talked, her voice rising with frustration. “It’s bad enough they snatched it from me, but they actually thought I was an idiot. They just let me get all happy, didn’t bid at all, and then suddenly dropped five hundred million.

Chapter 285 “Grandma, if you’re hurting this badly, I don’t think Charlotte can help much. She didn’t even bring anything with her.” Anthony raised an eyebrow and squeezed Charlotte’s hand, a small smile playing at his lips. “We should probably call an ambulance.” Call an ambulance… Patricia and Anne exchanged

Chapter 284 Anne’s face fell. Great, she had to play along again. A few minutes later, footsteps sounded at the entrance. A man and a woman walked slowly into the hall, leaving the guards and maids staring in shock. Anthony wore a white shirt and a deep blue tie. His

Chapter 283 “Oh, come on Patricia’s dramatic groan carried through the phone. “Anne, I’ve got the worst headache.” Anthony overheard her, a hint of a smirk tugging at his lips. “Is she pretending again?” Anne couldn’t help but look embarrassed. “She’s not faking this time. Patricia’s pretty upset about losing

Chapter 282 “Lottie, here’s a little reward for you.” A reward? Charlotte took the box and popped it open, pulling out a diamond that sparkled so brightly it almost hurt to look at. She held it up, turning it between her fingers with a little smile. Oh, right. Now she

Chapter 281 Should I tell her? Charlotte blinked, her long lashes trembling as her bright eyes shone with curiosity. “Alright, go on. I’m listening.” She really wanted to see how Anthony would explain bidding such a suspiciously romantic number. “Well Anthony’s gaze lingered on her flawless face. His eyes were

Chapter 280 The assistant’s face went pale. “Roger, here’s the thing. The meeting time was set by Asclepius. There’s really no way to change it.” He could feel a headache coming on. How could two people be so alike? Both of them were stubborn, both impossible to please. And this

Chapter 279 The first number popped up on the screen: 5. A ripple of whispers swept through the crowd. If buyer number nine had just added fifty million, they would have easily outbid number eight. But this? Starting with a five meant the bid was nearly three hundred million higher

Chapter 278 “Patricia, you can relax now,” Anne said, letting out a long breath. “Looks like the other bidder has backed off. The diamond is yours.” She was so relieved. Honestly, she’d been holding her breath, terrified Patricia was about to blow her entire secret stash just to win. “One
