Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1573

But right now, this little liar was hiding behind her psychopathic doctor persona, relentlessly teasing him.

His dark, fathomless eyes locked onto hers, a faint, dangerous smirk touching his lips. "Can Miss Panacea really cure any ailment?"

Serena grinned. "Absolutely."

Nicholas's gaze lingered on her face for a beat before his voice dropped into a low rumble. "What about a severe case of disobedience? Can you cure that?"

Serena's fingertips stalled against his chest.

Director Kaelen and the guards exchanged utterly baffled looks.

Disobedience? What disobedience? Was he calling the doctor disobedient?

Serena knew exactly what he meant. The bastard was still criticizing her for sneaking aboard.

Her eyes flashed with amusement, and she shot him a knowing, mocking smile. "Of course I can."

She took a half-step closer, lowering her voice into a husky, wicked murmur. "But a condition like that depends entirely on who's doing the curing."

"If you're eager for treatment, Mr. Sterling Sovereign, I can give you a discount."

Nicholas chuckled darkly. "Deal. Well then... physical exams and intensive therapies are highly confidential matters. We'll handle my treatment in private once the exhibition concludes."

Serena arched an eyebrow and opened her mouth to retort.

But the man smirked dangerously and held up a single finger. "I know your rates, Miss Panacea. Ten million for the checkup."

Serena's face instantly lit up. She tapped his chest appreciatively, looking thoroughly satisfied. "I knew I liked you. You understand how the world works."

She threw a pointed, mocking glance at Director Kaelen.

The implication was painfully obvious.

She was calling the ship's management cheap.

Director Kaelen fought the urge to groan.

In less than ten minutes.

The Sterling Sovereign had casually tossed away twenty million dollars.

And The Panacea had effortlessly pocketed it without lifting a single finger.

Compared to that, the ship's hazard pay did look incredibly pathetic.
