Columns of smoke ascended to the sky as the room was set ablaze. The intense fire deterred anyone from getting closer, and everyone gazed vacantly at the flames.A few minutes later, a miserable cry came from inside. "Help!""Uncle Sebastian!" Claude pushed Adrian's hand away and rushed in. When he got inside, he saw that the flames had enveloped the two people. Half of May's body was charred, but she remained silent. Seeing Claude, she said, "Don't come closer. This is our punishment."Sebastian's breathing was getting weaker as the raging flames consumed his body. He tried to push May away, but their bodies were somehow bound together.Adrian stayed outside, while Marissa went inside. Seeing May, she felt deep sympathy for the woman and gave her a quick end. There was a smile on May’s face, seemingly content with her impending demise.In the next second, the flames intensified. Claude reached out to Sebastian. When he tried to pull him out of the fire, he accidentally tore S

However, Grisha insisted that Adrian accept the gift. "Everyone will serve as my witness. I'm giving this to you willingly."Adrian looked at the box in Grisha's hand. It was just an ordinary wooden box, and he assumed that it contained her jewelry. He turned to Rozi and said, "Rozi, you should take it."Rozi stepped forward and accepted the gift. "Thank you, Mrs. Grisha." She then handed it to Adrian.When Adrian opened the box and glanced at its contents, he immediately closed it and passed it back to Rozi. "Mrs. Grisha, I can't accept this gift,” he said.Grisha shook her head. "I've been alone my whole life. It's not that I'm incapable of having children. I simply chose not to.""What? Why?" Claude looked up at Grisha in shock. "What are you talking about, Aunt Grisha? Did you say that because you're upset?""No, I'm very clear-headed right now," Grisha replied, her eyes filled with tears. "The wealth I brought into this marriage was the only thing I had. Your uncle has never

Lionel took out the Blossom Needles, frowning. "Axel, forget what I said earlier. I think it isn't worthwhile for me to be your mentor, so why don't you think of me as your grandfather instead?" Axel sneered. "I'll call you whatever you want. If you lose, you’ll be my slave forever.""Deal,” Lionel agreed. He then glanced at Adrian and said, "Please be our witness, sir. Send anyone who breaks the rules to hell right away."Adrian smiled. "Why would you trifle yourself with an outsider? He doesn't seem to know the first thing about medical treatments. All he does is recognize a few herbs." Axel stomped his feet. "You're seriously infuriating me! Claude, teach them a lesson!" But Claude had similar thoughts to Adrian. "You've only taught me how to recognize herbs all this while, sir. You’ve never taught me about medical treatments, so what am I supposed to do?"Axel was stunned and deeply disappointed by his apprentice. After all the effort he had put into the latter, he never t

Marissa quickly said, "You're the best doctor I've ever met, Mr. Lionel. I'm sure everyone will respect and admire you."Claude then made up his mind. "It's okay, Mr. Lionel. You can do whatever you want. Medicis Manor has plenty of ingredients, and we earn a substantial amount just by selling them."Adrian chuckled. "This place belongs to Grisha now. It will no longer be related to you in the future. You’ll have to work your way up and stop depending on others."Axel’s face changed. He had worked to build Medicis Manor for many years, and that was because Sebastian had always said he was going to give it to him. "That's nonsense,” Axel spat."The manor now belongs to Adrian," Grisha said with her eyes still closed. "I just gave it to him.""Stop talking. You need to focus." Lionel looked a little unhappy. "All of you, leave right now and stop disrupting my treatment."Claude pulled Axel aside, "Mr. Axel, go and not disturb Mr. Lionel. He needs to focus, or Grisha will be in tr

Half an hour later, Grisha was sweating black beads of sweat and looked fatigued. Despite this, she looked at Adrian gratefully and said, "Let go. You're going to hurt yourself.""I'll be fine." Adrian had actually noticed what was happening and stopped breathing. On top of that, he was immune to most poisons. Lionel, looking satisfied, retrieved his Blossom Needles. Then, he instructed a maid to wipe Grisha down and wrote out a prescription. "Boil these ingredients with some water and take a bath in it. The toxins inside of you will be removed completely then. You'll feel weak for some time, so avoid going outdoors if you can," Lionel instructed. Axel no longer behaved as he did before and got down on his knees when Lionel walked over. "Grandfather!" he said."F*ck off! You'd better not charge me whenever I come here to get medical ingredients from you, understand?" Lionel, in a good mood after curing his patient, had already forgotten about the bet.However, Axel loved his m

This was all Sebastian's work, and the majordomo was being used to raise someone else's son. Of course, Adrian was saddened by such an outrageous act."Anyone else?" he asked.A group of women rushed forward, tears streaming down their faces. "I gave birth to a daughter.""I had twins, a boy and a girl.""I had two daughters."Gazing at the crowd, Adrian saw dozens of people and was amused by how Sebastian had played around with almost all of the household’s maids.Claude had wanted to arrange a grand funeral for his uncle since the man had raised him. But seeing this scene, all he wanted to do now was bury Sebastian hastily."Why didn't you tell me earlier?" he asked the head chef."What's the point? The head chef rolled her eyes. "You're just living off someone else, which is even worse than myself."Adrian could not stand it anymore. "If my guess is correct, you were the one who willingly approached Sebastian, so why are you doing this now?" "Who doesn't want a better l

"Why didn't you say so earlier?!" Adrian jumped up, wondering if he had wrongly accused Sebastian.Lionel rubbed his nose. "You didn't ask. Besides, I don't like to meddle in others' private affairs. Sebastian and May did have an affair, and they should be punished."Axel, curious, exclaimed, "Wow! I thought May was a decent woman, but I never imagined she’d cheat on Sebastian.""Enough," Lionel interrupted, realizing the turn of the conversation. "They’re already dead, so let's respect the deceased."Adrian frowned, contemplating Lionel's accurate judgment. If the children were not Sebastian's, whose children were they?"Strange…" he muttered."What's the matter?" Rozi, just coming from Grisha's side, asked Adrian upon hearing his comment.Before Adrian could respond, Joe appeared and said, "Mr. Adrian, you need to come outside. It's chaos out there, and Sir Claude can't handle it."Adrian knew it would turn out this way. Those women were up to no good and would certainly try

Claude did not mind how others perceived him, as long as Adrian did not think he was inhospitable. He and Axel personally grew and picked their medicinal herbs, not wanting to rely on others and also fearing theft of their secrets. "Of course, sir," he said.The head chef regretted her actions. Her family depended on Medicis Manor for their livelihood and had benefited greatly from it, so leaving the place was a painful thought. Out of options, she decided to start a scene."No!" She collapsed on the ground, crying bitterly. "You people are so heartless! You've taken advantage of me, and now you're kicking me out! I swear I’ll make you all pay for this!"The other women joined her, wailing and refusing to give up. They rushed toward Adrian, hoping to encircle him and repeat their earlier tactic. "We won't give up!" they cried, "These children are part of the Biggs family. Take responsibility for them!" Adrian became anxious. Fearing a worse fate than Claude's if these women co
