    Chapter 213 Mistaken Identity? Niki Gets Kidnapped


    The next morning, Natalie woke up as usual.


    Stepping out of her chamber, she caught sight of Tory, impably attired, seated at the dining table


    partaking in breakfast.


    “Uncle, why are you up so early today?” Natalie’s tone betrayed her surprise.


    Never before had her uncle risen at such an early hour.


    “Is something the matter?”


    Tory turned his head, his gaze meeting Natalie’s. “I am organizing a medical clinic in the western part of


    the


    city today. Would you like to join me?”


    “A medical clinic?” Natalie was taken aback.


    “This time, my purpose ining was to find cases. It seemed rather bothersome to pursue it alone, so


    why


    not host a clinic to initiate the process?”


    “I see,” Natalie nodded in agreement, pulling out a chair and settling herself.


    Undoubtedly, it was a splendid approach indeed.


    However, her car was almost totaled in the previous chase, and today she had nned to go see about


    a new


    one.


    Just as she was about to decline, the nanny brought breakfast over. “Breakfast is ready. Miss and


    Mister, please enjoy your meal,” she said.


    Natalie nodded in gratitude, and Tory also took his breakfast, lowering his head to eat.


    “Have you prepared the venue?” Natalie looked up and asked Tory.


    “Everything is ready,” Tory replied promptly without lifting his head.


    Natalie nodded and took a bite of her breakfast, casually asking, “How spacious is the venue?”


    Tory pondered for a moment and replied, “Well… it’s quiterge. We’ve secured the Swan family’s


    property for


    the clinic.”


    “The Swan family’s property?” Natalie was taken aback.


    The Swan family’s property, and in the western part of the city?


    That piece ofnd was highly sought after, and countless people in Los Angeles yearned for it but


    couldn’t


    obtain it.


    “How did you manage to acquire that property?”


    Tory chuckled and said, “Of course, I couldn’t have done it myself. It was all thanks to thatd Ryan.”


    “Ryan?”


    Get P


    Natalie’s eyshes quivered, a sense of helplessness washing over her. “Why did you seek Ryan’s


    help.


    Jatalie’s


    instead of mine for this clinic?”


    “In fact, Ryan knew about the clinic even before I did,” Tory exined.


    “Am I your niece, or is Ryan your niece?”


    Toryughed. “Don’t me me, my dear. Am I someone whocks discretion?”


    “Ryan insisted on helping me. He had already secured the venue before I even asked. I couldn’t refuse,


    could


    1?”


    Natalie was left speechless.


    Given Ryan’s enthusiastic nature, it was usible for him to aplish such a feat.


    “So, Ryan also helped prepare the venue?”


    Natalie asked, to which Tory nodded in confirmation.


    Natalie sighed. Ryan had outsmarted her and turned to her uncle for assistance.


    The Swan family’s property wasn’t something one could easily acquire, yet Ryan had effortlessly


    obtained it…


    Natalie’s eyshes trembled.


    She recalled the sight of Ryan at the Swan residence–it could be considered a coincidence at the time,


    but


    now there were too many coincidences. Ryan’s identity surely wasn’t ordinary.


    She pondered deeply.


    Lost in thought, Tory suddenly set aside his chopsticks and stood up, heading towards the exit. “It’s


    about


    time for me to leave,” he said.


    “I’lle along.”


    Natalie changed her mind.


    If Ryan had yed such a significant role in her uncle’s clinic, she had to see it for herself.


    Natalie and Tory arrived at the venue together.


    The venue was spacious, with various facilities and even several doctors on duty.


    The crowd was bustling, and many patients had already arrived.


    Of course, there were also many people who came specifically to see doctors from the Spears family,


    drawn


    by their reputation.


    Natalie scanned the surroundings, seeing so many patients… among them were young and elderly,


    suffering


    and heartbroken, all bearing the burden of pain without exception.


    She had seen desperate patients before, but she had never witnessed so many of them gathered


    together.


    Natalie even felt as though the entire facility was enveloped in the torment of pain, creating an


    unusually


    heavy atmosphere.


    Without any hesitation, she also put on a white coat with Tory and wore a mask, diving into the


    consultation.


    Meanwhile…


    Niki was wearing a jet–ck coat with a thin cashmere scarf around her neck, her face adorned with


    exquisite makeup as she entered the medical clinic.


    As soon as she walked in, she frowned.


    The surroundings were bustling with people, all dressed casually, some even looking unkempt. The


    entire venue carried an air of poverty and illness, causing Niki to furrow her brow in disapproval.


    She pinched her nose with disdain, took a deep breath, and repeatedly reminded herself that she was


    here to seek revenge on Natalie.


    In her mind, she silently repeated that she had to endure all of this to make Natalie pay the price.


    Niki suppressed her aversion and began searching for the presence of Natalie and Tory.


    She wasn’t entirely certain if Natalie would be there today, so her gaze eagerly scanned the row of


    attending


    doctors, afraid of missing anyone.


    Dr. Spears, being the most important figure today, should have a prominent position, right?


    With this thought, Niki looked around but didn’t see any doctors upying a special spot.


    All the doctors were dressed alike, in the same positions, without anything distinctive.


    This troubled Niki.


    She hadn’t bothered to thoroughly examine the information about this medical event beforeing, so


    she


    had no idea about Tory’s specific location. In such arge venue, it would take who knows how long to


    search blindly.


    After hesitating for a moment, she twiddled her fingers, grabbed the corner of the clothing of a decently


    dressed girl, and said, “Excuse me, do you know where Dr. Spears from Kyoto is stationed for


    consultations?”


    “Dr. Spears?” The girl immediately pointed southeast and said, “The busiest area over there is where


    Dr.


    Spears conducts consultations.”


    Niki felt delighted. She quickly wiped her hands and didn’t even say thank you, directly heading


    towards the direction the girl pointed to.


    Before she reached there, she was startled by the massive crowd. Were there really so many people


    surrounding Dr. Spears?


    She gritted her teeth and decided to proceed, but she collided with an elderly patient head–on. Perhaps


    due to poor eyesight, the patient stumbled towards Niki’s direction.


    When Niki saw the approaching person, it was as if she had encountered a ferocious beast. She


    quickly moved to the side, fearing that the elderly person might dirty her clothes.


    This action did manage to evade the elderly person, but unfortunately, the woman behind her stepped


    on Niki’s foot, causing a painful sensation.


    “Do you not watch where you’re going? Do you have any idea how expensive my shoes are?” Niki’s


    tone rose, and she was already annoyed, which made her quite angry at the moment.


    This reproach attracted the attention of people around her.

    Jaxton Cruz was among the crowd at the moment. He and his group of friends were searching for the


    woman


    in the photo.


    As a working–ss person, he actually harbored a strong aversion towards arrogant and


    condescending wealthy individuals. Therefore, he instinctively frowned and was also drawn by the


    woman’s scolding voice.


    He looked towards the source of the sound. The woman was wearing a coat, fair–skinned with a


    beautiful face, clearly indicating a good upbringing.


    Wait a minute?


    This person seems to be the woman in the photo?!


    Jaxton squinted his eyes and carefully observed. The woman frowned, radiating impatience and an air


    of


    haughtiness.


    Although she didn’t quite resemble the elegant demeanor in the photo, her face did bear a striking


    resemnce.


    To confirm once again, Jaxton took out his phone and pulled up that photo. The lighting in the picture


    was dim, and although the woman’s face wasn’t very clear, it was still discernible.


    Yes! It’s this woman!


    A cold, sinister smile crept onto Jaxton’s face. He was already displeased with such an arrogant and


    haughty wealthy person, and now he could teach her a good lesson.


    He could even help his two friends get their revenge while he was at it.


    Jaxton almost immediately started walking towards Niki’s direction.
