The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1223

Walden immediately nodded. "Yes, exactly. It was her."

"Claire is incredible. When Dr. Sterling Senior isn't around, she's the only one capable of taking over his workload."

The surrounding crowd was utterly astonished.

"Can she really fully replace Dr. Sterling?"

All of these VIPs had interacted with Dr. Sterling at some point.

In their eyes, his medical skills were absolutely unparalleled.

Whenever someone's old injuries flared up and they needed pain relief, they called Dr. Sterling.

Even when their daughters-in-law or granddaughters-in-law struggled with fertility, they sought out the old doctor's expertise.

But he was only one man, and none of his students had managed to master his breathtaking signature technique: Sterling's Thirteen Needles.

With Dr. Sterling working completely alone, supply simply couldn't meet demand.

This realization made everyone stare at Claire as if she were a priceless treasure.

If she truly possessed that level of skill, they could just go to her in the future.

Having an extra top-tier doctor meant an extra layer of security for these powerful figures. Who didn't want to live to be a hundred?

And even if they couldn't live forever, alleviating their chronic pain would be a massive blessing.

"That's impossible," Claire interjected immediately, not waiting for Walden to answer.

She knew if she didn't shut this down now, their imaginations would run wild.

"Please forgive me, gentlemen, but I am nowhere near as skilled as Dr. Sterling."

"Claire is just being modest. Even if she can't match him right now, she definitely won't fall short in the future!"

In Walden's eyes, Claire's abilities were already neck-and-neck with Dr. Sterling's.

However, he also knew that saying so outright might bring her unwanted trouble.

He was well aware of the politics involved.

"The younger generation truly is surpassing the old," one VIP sighed in admiration.

Another prominent figure rubbed his lower back.

"I can't even sit for more than a few minutes nowadays."

"If I sit too long, the pain in my back is unbearable."
