Claire Woodward’s heart sank to rock bottom and shattered into pieces.
Damian Knight’s trust and protection of Sumr Monroe were beyond obvious.
She never imagined that a girl could occupy such a significant place in Damian Knight’s heart. It’s important to note that Damian Knight has always been a person difficult to let anyone else trust him.
With girls, he never even glanced at them, and over the years, there were never any scandals.
Why exactly... is that the case?
Could it be that Damian Knight has actually fallen for Sumr Monroe? Soone with practically no status?
Claire Woodward closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was sorrow and determination in her gaze.
"It’s really not ." She denied again.
Claire Woodward was no fool. Since she saw the weight Sumr Monroe held in Damian Knight’s heart, she naturally couldn’t admit it.
No one could bear the wrath of Damian Knight.
Sumr Monroe looked at Claire Woodward with an icy gaze and shook her head indifferently, saying, "I’m giving you one last chance to tell the truth. Otherwise, every lie will earn you a slap from ."
"I really didn’t..."
"SLAP—"
Sumr Monroe raised her hand and a stinging slap landed heavily on Claire Woodward’s face.
Claire Woodward’s face was imdiately turned to the side, her left cheek swelling rapidly before the naked eye.
"You hit ?" Claire Woodward stared at Sumr Monroe in disbelief.
As the sole daughter of the Woodward Family, a renowned dical family, she had always been pampered and had never been slapped like this.
"So what if I hit you?" Sumr Monroe slightly tilted her chin up, saying, "If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll hit you again. And I can assure you, the next slap will be even heavier."
The effects of the dicine in her body were gradually wearing off, and her strength was steadily returning.
The slap just now was already on the lighter side!
Claire Woodward gritted her teeth angrily, "How dare you?! You’re not even part of the Stanton Family anymore, and you dare hit ? I’m the sole daughter of the Woodward Family!"
The Woodward Family is one of Cathaysia’s most famous dical families, known for their mastery of Ancient Chinese dicine and exceptional dical skills.
For the powerful, nothing is more valuable than their lives, more so than wealth or power. No one would dare offend a family with such excellent dical prowess.
"Oh? Is that so?" Sumr Monroe lifted her hand again and another solid slap landed on Claire Woodward’s face.
Claire Woodward’s entire face was struck to the side, her head buzzing with noise.
Sumr Monroe still held back with that slap; she didn’t want to accidentally kill the person.
If she killed her outright, that would be troubleso.
"You! You..." Claire Woodward trembled as she said, "Dare you hit , you’ll never get a good doctor to treat you when you fall sick in the future!"
Damian Knight stepped forward, chuckled through his nose, and said, "She herself is a dical genius, why would she need you to treat her?"
"-dical genius?" Claire Woodward was dumbfounded and asked in shock, "What do you an by that?"
Damian Knight looked at Sumr Monroe with pride and said, "Those people who were poisoned at Midnight Coffee House, it was Sumr Monroe who cured them. She was just afraid of trouble and didn’t want to be exposed. Now since you’re asking sincerely, I’ll tell you. She’s the one who healed them. Her dical skills can’t be compared with yours or the Woodward Family’s."
"How is that possible? How old is she? It’s absolutely impossible for her to be the dical genius!!" Claire Woodward practically shouted these words.
Initially, she had suspicions too, but after thoroughly researching the poison and hearing what Charles Chapman said, she was completely convinced the dical genius had to be soone else.
"Believe it or not, it’s up to you."
Damian Knight’s voice was calm, yet his tone was filled with impatience.
Claire Woodward saw Damian Knight’s expression and realized he was genuinely not joking.
Sumr Monroe... turned out to be the dical genius she wanted to apprentice under???
How could she possibly accept this!
