Chapter 79
“I can’t do it, Dustin. I know nothing about medicine!” Simone quickly shook her head. She was worried about Dustin losing. “Don’t worry. As long as you do what I say, you’ll be fine,” said Dustin reassuringly. Delia was furious. Dustin was asking a complete amateur to compete against her, an intermediate physician?! This was an insult! “If you lose, you have to crawl out of here like a dog!” she demanded viciously. “Sure,” Dustin said. While everyone watched, Dustin and Dylan each took a pill. “Delia, get three grams each of graminae, red wormroot, and morning glory leaves. Grind them into powder and dissolve them in warm water. Then, let me drink it,” Dylan said. That was the type of task even an intern could do easily, let alone an intermediate grade physician. “I’ll do it right away,” Delia said confidently. “Do you know how to cure the poison, boy?” Dylan looked at Dustin in amusement Dustin just smiled and did not reply. This minor poison was nothing and

“Stop!” When Dustin was about to walk out of the clinic, Dylan called out to him. “What? Unwilling to admit defeat?” asked Dustin as he turned around. “Of course not!” Dylan cried out. “You were just getting rid of poison! You can’t test any skill through that! Besides, I suspect that you already have the antidote. How else could you get rid of poison by just drinking warm water? It doesn’t make sense! That poison isn’t something that you can cure through warm water! You must have taken the antidote in secret!” Quite a number of people agreed with Dylan. After all, getting rid of poison through warm water was a little too far-fetched. Delia technically also gave Dylan some warm water, so why was he not cured of his poison? It did not make sense. “Dustin, you tricked us. If you have the guts, compete against Dr. Parker again! I refuse to believe that you have any knowledge about medicine! Prove it to me!” Delia cried out as well. “Who the hell do you think you are? Why

With that said, he picked five pills from the box. The crowd was shocked. “When physicians prepare their medicine, they’re very careful with it. Normal people will only dare to give one pill to their patients at a time, and they have to make sure that the dosage is absolutely correct too, but the good ones can give their patients multiple pills by customizing them. The more skilled you are, the more pills you can prepare for your patient at once. Someone at Dr. Parker’s level can give his patient five pills at once. There are only a handful of people in all of Lovellia who can do this!” Delia said loudly as if she shared in his glory. The crowd praised Dylan. Dustin smiled and said nothing. Dylan fed all five pills to Bella at once. She trembled as if she had regained her sanity. Delia was excited. “Dr. Parker, you’re amazing! With just five pills, Bella is about to recover!” she said in praise of Dylan, but right after she spoke, Bella suddenly trembled and started fo
Chapter 82
After Dustin fed the nine pills to Bella, she immediately reacted. Dustin had caused Bell’s insanity. He had poisoned Bella, which was why when Dylan fed her the pills, it did not work and had instead worsened her condition. Dustin mostly used the same ingredients that Dylan had, but the effects were vastly different. Bella did not spasm, but her eyes gradually regained their clarity. “Where am I? Why am I here?” She looked around in a daze. “He cured her!” the crowd exclaimed. The famous physician, Dylan, had been unable to do anything about Bella, but Dustin had managed to cure her. A top grade physician could not even compare to a young man. Dylan’s face darkened. Dustin had cured Bella. This time, even if Dylan wanted to deny it, he could not. The witnesses here had seen for themselves all that had happened. It was really hard for him to accept the fact that he had lost. Delia was stunned. When she finally pieced everything together, she looked conflicted.

“That was the bet she made herself. I didn’t force her,” Dustin said indifferently. “If she loses, then she has to fulfill the conditions of her bet. That is the rule.” Delia gritted her teeth and felt cornered. Apologizing to Dustin felt worse than death itself. Everyone was watching her, and she could not back out of the situation. She tried to appear pitiful and cast a pleading look at the crowd. Her sorrowful gaze tugged at the hearts of many. Who would bear to see such a beautiful woman humiliated? “That’s enough! Why are you getting so hung up over this with a woman? There’s no need for it,” someone said. “That’s right. A man should be generous. There’s no need to be so hung up over this. You’ll just look petty.” Delia looked pleased. She wanted to use the public to pressure Dustin and make him a target of their scorn. “If you made a bet, then you have to be willing to fulfill the condition of that bet even if you lose!” Dustin said coldly and looked at the

“Bella, don’t tell Amara about how Dustin humiliated me.” On the way back to the Wyatt family villa, Delia pleaded with Bella. “Why not? That b*stard dared to make you apologize to him! That’s even more of a reason to tell Amara. She’ll take care of him.” Bella did not understand why Delia did not want to do that. “Amara will scold me if she finds out that I apologized to Dustin!” Delia sighed. Amara was in charge of the Wyatt family’s affairs. She did not tolerate anyone staining the Wyatt family’s reputation. “That piece of trash! One day, I’ll make him beg for forgiveness. He has to repay me a thousand times over!” Delia said viciously. Bella was silent. Delia had only gone to the clinic to treat Bella’s condition. She would not have been humiliated by Dustin if it were not for that. After a moment, Bella said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Delia. I’ll get you justice for this! That awful Dustin is nothing but a dog of the Wyatt family. He’s so bold now that it’s only a

“The entire crew will be catering to you, Miss Bella. You have the last say in any decision when it comes to casting changes.” Bella’s smile grew wider. She would have the last say… Camille was dear to Dustin. Bella would make sure that she suffered. With her temper, giving Camille the role of an extra was already very merciful on her part. Ideas on how to humiliate Camille flashed through her mind. “That brat looks decent enough. But she’s deluding herself if she thinks she can be the lead!” said Bella in disdain. Suddenly, her face changed. “Delia, is the Zimmer family still on the Wyatt family’s case?” Bella asked Delia. “Yes. It’s like the Zimmer family has gone nuts. These few days, the company has been suffering great losses. If this goes on, both sides will head for mutual destruction!” Delia sighed dejectedly. The Wyatt sisters looked stormy when the incident was brought up. Amara frowned as well. The issue bothered her greatly. “I might have an idea…” Be
Chapter 86
Jack’s eyes lit up when he heard Bella’s words. He loved beautiful women. However, he had toned down his impulses a lot after nearly causing the demise of the Zimmer family because he lusted for Simone. He had almost died during that incident. But since Bella was trying to set him up with someone, he was interested once again. “What kind of beauty? Where is she from? What’s her family background?” Jack asked warily. “Don’t worry, Mr. Zimmer. She’s nothing special. She’s just a new kid wanting a break in the acting industry. She was an extra on one of the projects I was on. Now that I’m giving her a chance, she’s eager to climb up the ladder of success,” Bella said with a smile. “Alright then. We’ll see how things go,” Jack said indifferently. He could make his own judgment. Bella wanted to use this opportunity to defuse the situation between their families, but Jack was not foolish enough to allow it blindly. As for Bella’s intention of using a woman to bait him…
