Oriana gazed thoughtfully at Lottie, who was now consumed by the desire to win, and gave a slight shake of her head. “Alright, as you said.”

“Good! Everyone, take a break and wait for Director Hill to return!”

Lottie’s excitement was palpable. Just thinking about the predicament Oriana would soon be in filled her with immense satisfaction!

And she might even get the chance to replace Oriana in filming the promotional video!

Merely imagining it made Lottie feel wonderful. She even sat down happily and started playing on her phone.

Billy’s hearing wasn’t good. Although they had argued, they had somewhat controlled their volume, so the old man didn’t hear much of the dispute he had inadvertently caused.

He was just puzzled. Weren’t they going to treat him with acupuncture? Why had everyone suddenly scattered and sat down, doing nothing?

“Hey, are you still going to treat me?” he asked, his face full of worry.

A thoughtful gleam flashed in Oriana’s eyes. She stepped forward and helped the old man sit down. “Mr. Green, could you describe the symptoms in your right shoulder in more detail? Does it hurt at night?”

Billy nodded repeatedly. “It hurts! Like being pricked by needles, a sharp pain now and then. Medicated plasters help, but how can I keep using them all the time? They’re so expensive.”

Oriana nodded and asked, “Let me support your arm and slowly lift it. Tell me when it starts to hurt.”

“Alright, okay.”

Oriana gently bent Billy’s arm and slowly began to raise it.

At the same time, she closely watched his facial expressions, ready to stop immediately at any sign of pain or discomfort.

When Billy’s arm reached about sixty degrees, he started groaning, “Ow, ow, that’s enough, it hurts here, can’t lift it anymore.”

“Mr. Green, is the pain here, or here?”

Oriana stopped lifting and instead pressed on several acupuncture points around his shoulder.

Billy identified a few specific spots. Oriana nodded and lowered his arm.

She was now completely certain: it was definitely a rotator cuff injury.

Oriana performed these actions with her back to Lottie, so Lottie didn’t see much detail. She merely sneered, thinking Oriana was putting on an act, making a last–ditch effort.

“What are you all doing sitting around? Is the treatment finished?”

Finally ending his call, Chuck stepped over the threshold. Seeing everyone lazily sitting around on their phones, his brows furrowed.

“Director Hill!”

In front of Billy, Chuck naturally didn’t openly reprimand them, but everyone could tell he

up, looking was suppressing anger. They quickly put away their things and stood apprehensive.

Lottie, however, brightened up and hurried over.

“Director Hill! It’s not that everyone is slacking off on purpose, but rather…”

Lottie glanced towards Oriana and briefly explained the situation.

Of course, she cleverly omitted the part about their bet. With Chuck’s temper, both of them would be in serious trouble if he knew!

After listening, Chuck’s expression darkened.

Oriana also walked over and said quietly, “Director Hill, please re–examine Mr. Green’s condition. If a rotator cuff injury is treated as frozen shoulder, it could worsen the condition!”

Hearing this, Lottie was so angry she almost laughed, cursing Oriana countless times in her heart.

This bitch! Before, she acted all meek and easy to bully, and now she’s reporting to Director Hill right in front of me?

It is true: the dog that bite doesn’t bark!

“Alright, let me take a look.”

Chuck’s gaze shifted between their faces. In the end, he didn’t say anything. Taking the gloves

“Mr. Green, I understand your condition. Now, let me give you a preliminary examination.”

Chuck performed a few simple tests on Billy to assess the extent of the injury.

Billy complied, then asked loudly, puzzled, “Director, the lady doctor already did this for me. Why do it again? It’s not some serious illness, is it?”

A subtle flicker passed through Chuck’s eyes. He replied amiably, “It’s a minor issue. I just need to perform a physical examination myself to make a judgment.”

He paused, then asked casually, “Which lady doctor performed the examination for you?”
