Chapter 259
Since the person before him was actually using the orchid fingers when conducting acupuncture,
Trevor was sure to investigate her thoroughly. After hearing that Trevor was not a student. La smiled
and said, “Let’s head over ther to eat something.” Now that her second n had failed again, La
could only execute her third one. Th was to wander around Julian and leave a strong impression on
him. Nancy had told La that Julian for her eventually.
The moment Julian looks for La, she would simply carry on with their n. Seeing that La had
invited him to eat, Trevor raised his wrist to look at the time and said, “I have to wait here for another 23
minutes.” He had agreed to wait for that man for half an hour. La mentally rolled her eyes. She
thought to herself, “He’s pretty good-looking and well-trained, but he sure is stupid. That man was only
jesting, and he took it seriously.” She smiled again and said, “Then I’ll go ahead myself.”
Trevor nodded slightly. “Okay.” La left. She wanted Julian to notice her presence. Trevor looked at
La’s back and narrowed his eyes. He instinctively got suspicious. The girl did not show any signs of
psychological impact after being forcefully kissed by a man. Was she mentally strong, or was she only
acting? Well, it didn’t matter. He would be investigating her.
He took out his phone and sent a message, “Investigate Jadeborough Medical University’s sophomore
student, La Cory.” In less than half an hour, he received information. “La Cory. 19 years old.
Came from the vige of Yogan City. Her grandfather is a traditional medicine practitioner in the vige.
She had learned traditional medicine practices from him since she was young.”
Her background was indeed simr to that little girl back then. The little girl was also a skilled traditional
medicine practitioner at merely the age of seven or eight. Putting away his phone, Trevor walked
towards the crowded banquet. He wanted to take a look. It was very noisy in that crowded ce. As
soon as Trevor walked into the crowd, he heard the quiet discussion of three beautifuldies.
“I didn’t expect the eldest son of the Parks family, Julian, to be together with a woman far below his
standards. What a lucky country bumpkin.” “Don’t say that about her. She’s Joseph Quigley’s favorite
student and a graduate student at Jadeborough Medical University.” “Tsk, she’s only 20 years old and
already a graduate student at the Medical University? Who will be so gullible to believe that? Have any
of you seen her certificate?
“Besides, don’t graduate students have to study in school? Joseph Quigley must have just said that to
cover up for her. “Also, so what if she is a medical student? It doesn’t change the fact that she’s a
country bumpkin and looks like one too. “Look at what she’s wearing at such a formal banquet. A down
jacket with casual pants and sneakers. She’s here to be a clown.” “I think there’s nothing wrong with
her outfit. It makes her look young and beautiful?”
“Yes it’s not a problem if it’s a casual event, but it’s a formal one today! It’s Old Mr. Xander’s 73-year-
old birthday party. The entire banquet hall is filled with famous people. Everyone is wearing evening
gowns and mink or cashmere coats. As expected, those from the countryside are indeed not
presentable.” “In my opinion, those who talk about others behind their backs are worse.” Trevor’s voice
was cold.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
The three women immediately looked at Trevor awkwardly. No one recognized Trevor. A woman
unhappy. “Who are you? How can you eavesdrop on someone’s conversation? at doesn’t make you
any more presentable.” “I don’t need to be. I only wish to warn some people to not gossip behind other
people’s backs. It might cause their tongues to grow piles. Oh, and if they ever meet someone
unreasonable, they might even be torn apart.” Trevor’s voice was cold and sharp. “You!”
Trevor left, leaving the women furious. Seeing that Trevor had walked away, they spoke even more
loudly. Could it be that a woman like Annalise Barton has die-hard fans?” ‘Of course! Her fans’ Twitter
ount has a Of cour few million fans already.” “Haha, I always thought that only poor and lowly girls
would be her fan. I never expected that there would be her diehard fan at such a high-end banquet.”
“He probably has a crush on Annalise Barton. Although she’s old-fashioned, she’s good-looking after
all. Coupled with her young age, she’s bound to have men at he feet.” “Look, look, Nancy Zeller is over
there. She’s so beautiful!”
“That’s right. That is what you call ady from a wealthy family. She’s the real socialite!” At that
moment, Nancy was with her second uncle, Lee Xander. Every time she went to visit the Xander family,
she would also visit Lee. However, he was always depressed and would not take a nce at her.
However, it was different now. Lee seemed to have regained his vitality and his health was getting
better day by day. Many people spected that once Lee recovers, the Xander family would probably
return to his hands.
After all, his business ability was outstanding. Back then, he had been in charge of the Xander family’s
business for five years, and their profits had increased sevenfold during that time. It was also then that
the Xander family became one of the top three families in Jadeborough. It was also because of the
foundation that Let hadid then that the Xander family’s business could develop benignly.
All these years, Nancy had not been very interested in Lee. After all, a sickly person could not do
anything for her. She only visited him out of courtesy every time. Her visits were also for Samuel to see.
Samuel valued Lee greatly. However, things are different now. Lee had recovered. Nancy was very
afraid that he would regain power. No matter what, it was always good to please him first.
She held Lee’s hand and deliberately announced, “When you transnted your bone marrow back
then, I was always praying for your recovery. Thankfully, after so many years, you have finally fully
recovered.” “Yes,” Lee replied. He frowned slightly and quietly pulled his hand away. He didn’t like
being too close to anyone, even to his own niece. “At that time, I thought that donating bone marrow
would affect my body, but I thought that as long as you can be cured, it would be okay even if I died,”
Nancy said.
Lee was shocked. “What did you say?” He frowned and looked at Nancy. “Were you the one who
donated the bone marrow to me back then?” “No, no, I was just spouting nonsense,” Nancy said
deliberately. Lee was smart. He would know the truth after investigating. She quickly changed the topic.
“Uncle, do you like orchids? I saw that you nted a lot in your courtyard.” “Yes, I like orchids very
much.” Lee’s impression of his niece became extremely bad. He hated smart alecs.
If she didn’t want to tell him that she was the one who donated her bone marrow, why would she bring
up the topic? Back then, when he was hospitalized with leukemia, Julian found the bone marrow for
him. Julian offered it to him in exchange for his presidential role in the Xander family’s business He
agreed without thinking. He did not care about being the president at all. He only wanted to live well.
He wanted to live well for the woman he loved.
However,, when he survived and was discharged from the hospital, a farewell letter greeted him
instead of his lover. She had fallen in love with someone else. It had happened even before he was
hospitalized. From then on, he sealed himself in his small courtyard. He instructed his servants to take
care of his orchids. Every day, he would lie in bed, waiting for news of his son and for death to knock
on his door. “Uncle, is there a story behind those orchids?” Nancy asked.
