11capter II Jason thought, ‘If I want to take down Starlight Entertainment, Alicia’s the perfect entry point. Alicia shook his hand. “I knew you wouldn’t.” Alicia thought, ‘If I want to break free from Starlight and those people, Jason’s the best place to start! Her gaze swept over Jason’s legs. “Let me heal your legs as a token of my sincerity for this partnership.” Jason stared at her, stunned. “You can heal my legs?” 10 vouchers w𝗪𝓌.𝗻𝔬𝑣𝕖𝓵ⓦⓞℝⓜ.𝗰ô𝕄Alicia’s grandpa was a nationally renowned master of traditional medicine, known for handling even the toughest and most complicated cases. Too bad he’d already passed away. 𝗪𝘄Ŵ.𝚗ⓞ𝑣𝑒⒧𝑤ó𝗥𝔪.𝑐ℴ𝓜Jason knew Alicia had been learning medicine from her grandpa since she was little, and he’d heard she had a real gift for it. When he first found out she’d gone into the entertainment business, he was genuinely surprised. He’d always figured she’d become a doctor. Alicia took his offered hand. “Let me feel your pulse first.” After a moment, she let go and said, “This really isn’t a big problem. With herbal baths and acupuncture, you’ll make a full recovery in just three months.” Last time around, she’d healed his legs too, but since they’d delayed treatment for a few years, it ended up taking about a year for him to recover. She’d been learning medicine from her grandpa and crafting herbal stuff with her mom since she was a kid, and she had a knack for both. She was always a top student, even skipped a grade and got into Solmare Medical College. But she just couldn’t sit still, so working as a doctor in a clinic specializing in traditional medicine wasn’t really her thing. She happened to be interested in the entertainment industry, so she switched careers. But even after she got into the entertainment business in her last life, she never gave up on studying medicine. After she quit the industry on her own terms, she devoted herself entirely to traditional medicine and became an expert in the unique acupuncture method her grandpa’s family had handed down for generations. She even pieced together the lost sections of an ancient book of secret remedies. Later, she built up her connections by treating people and teamed up with Jason. Together, they went up against the Hammonds, Delaneys, and Moores, stirring up trouble wherever they could. Jason arched his brows. “Seriously? You think this isn’t a big deal?” After the accident left him unable to walk, he’d tried everything. He visited the best hospitals, both in the country and overseas. They all said the same thing: there was no hope. He’d be in a wheelchair for life. And now, Alicia actually said it was no big deal. 1/3 w𝔀𝘸.ⓝ𝑜⒱𝓮lⓦ𝗢𝔯𝓂.𝑐ℴ𝑚2:13 pm Chapter 11 Alicia grinned, “Honestly, this is an easy task for me. If you trust me, I’ll heal you.” Then she asked, “So, are you in? Want to give it a shot?”

ason didn’t even hesitate. “Of course, I want you to treat me.” His legs were already like this. Letting her try couldn’t possibly make things worse. Even if there was just a one in a thousand chance of getting better, he wasn’t about to give up. 𝘸𝗪𝕎.𝓃ℴ𝘃𝗲𝓵𝕨𝓞𝔯𝓶.𝓒oⓜHe still had so much he wanted to do, and being stuck in a wheelchair was really holding him back. 10 vouchers Alicia knew he wouldn’t turn her down. She said, “Just send me your address. Once I’ve wrapped up the contract stuff, I’ll come over for your regular acupuncture sessions. You’ll have to handle getting the herbs for the baths yourself. Make sure you have them on hand when we start.” ason nodded. “Sure.” Then he pulled out his phone. “Let’s swap contacts. I’ll send you my address.” Alicia took out her phone and exchanged info with him. ason thought for a moment, then said, “Doesn’t matter if my legs get better or not. Once you leave Starlight for Lucent Media, I’m taking you under my wing myself.” He was dead set on making Alicia a superstar and crushing everyone who ever tried to mess with her. Surprise flickered across Alicia’s face. Then she grinned, “Wow, the CEO himself as my agent? Guess I really hit the jackpot.” She added confidently, “Trust me. I’ll get you back on your feet for sure.” With Jason’s power and all the resources at Lucent Media, having him take her under his wing personally would make things way easier for her. Of course, she wasn’t about to turn that down. They talked over what each of them planned to do next, and only then did Alicia get up and head out. ***** Two days later, Thomas took the fight straight to Starlight Entertainment, armed with all the evidence he needed to get Alicia out of her contract. Thomas was a legend in the legal scene, especially when it came to contract battles. He’d never lost a single case. With Alicia’s intel and the proof he’d gathered, Starlight tried to hold on, but there was nothing they could do to stop it. Even the penalty for breaking the contract early got chopped down to just a third of what it was supposed to be. Nicolas’s agent, Liam Hall, had been keeping a close eye on Alicia’s situation, so he caught wind of the news immediately. With things getting this serious, he didn’t dare hide it or stall this time. He picked up the phone and called Nicolas without hesitation.
