“Stop speculating. I spoke with her, and she is married,” Debora replied. She waved her hand,
attempting to quell the growing excitement of the crowd.
Unexpectedly, the revelation of Ariana’s marital status only heightened everyone’s interest. “She’s
married?!” they exclaimed. The atmosphere was growing more entertaining by the minute.
“If Mr. Chadwick’s grandfather knew that his grandson had fallen in love with a married woman, he
would undoubtedly be astounded!” remarked one of the intrigued onlookers.
Debora was speechless. “Let’s not jump to conclusions,” she urged, trying to curb the speculative
chatter. ©
“Oh, did you hear that he asked that girl to exchange clothes with him? Who can honestly claim there’s
no underlying meaning?” chimed in another voice, fueling the gossip. ©
“You’re missing the point,” interjected a well-informed observer. “Mr. Chadwick has never brought a
female companion to events before. But this time, he arrived with a girl in a wheelchair. What does that

Debora, feeling helpless in the face of relentless gossip, pleaded, “Alright, alright.
Let’s refrain from further speculation about these young people. It’s simply not appropriate.”
“You’re right,” agreed another, attempting to redirect the conversation. “Let’s cease discussing that and
focus on our project for the next six months.”
Meanwhile, Theodore, unsettled by Ariana’s sudden appearance, dared not remain in the vicinity any
longer. He swiftly devised an excuse and made his way to the private lounge.
The BRD Group, a prominent shareholder of the hotel, had ensured the provision of a special lounge
exclusively for Theodore’s use.
Slouched on the sofa, Theodore indulged in puffs from his cigarette, his mind consumed by distress.
Memories of the moment when Mitchel had shielded Ariana flooded his thoughts, prompting an
overwhelming urge to keep her by his side at all times. ©
Deeply inhaling from his cigarette, Theodore’s face portrayed a distant, uncaring look. Witnessing
Mitchel’s behavior towards Ariana at the hospital had triggered a sense of suspicion within him. There
was something amiss about Mitchel. His indifference towards everyone except for Ariana was quite
suspicious. After all, men knew men best. Theodore refused to believe that Mitchel held no other
feelings for Ariana.
This medical summit was no ordinary event; access was almost impossible without accomplishments in
the medical field. Yet, not only had Mitchel managed to attend, but it seemed that certain individuals
were attempting to curry favor with him.
Mitchel was undoubtedly no ordinary doctor.
Just as Theodore was lost in his thoughts, a knock on the door interrupted his contemplation. Adrian
entered, holding a stack of documents in his hand.
Observing the pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray, he let out a sigh before taking a seat. Placing the
documents on the table, he said, “Take a look. It turns out that Mitchel happens to be the youngest son
of the prestigious Jovanni family.” ©
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTheodore maintained a composed expression as he picked up the document, examining it carefully.
Mitchel, the young master of the Jovanni family, possessed an undeniable allure, explaining the
eagerness of everyone else to seek his favor at the summit.
In the past, the Jovanni family, along with the Fredrick, Truman, and Chadwick families, had reigned as
the top four families.
Unlike the other three families, the Jovanni family held a strong focus on the medical field. In fact, they
maintained connections to approximately 80% of the country’s medical-related businesses.
“since he is the youngest son of the Jovanni family, why does he bear the surname Chadwick?”
Theodore inquired, raising his gaze to Adrian.
With a casual tone, Adrian responded, “TSK, TSK, isn’t it common among affluent and influential
families? You yourself possess two names, Theodore and Holden, correct?” Adrian nonchalantly
crossed his legs and hummed.
