Jeremy lay on the treatment room bed shirtless, his well–defined muscles flexed under the light.

“Your pulse feels much steadier than last week. The new prescription seems to be working well,” Amelia said while checking his pulse.

Jeremy half–closed his eyes, his voice low. “Yeah, I’m sleeping much better.”

Amelia took out silver needles, skillfully inserting them into pressure points on his back.

“But we still need to continue treatment. The frostbone poison in your body isn’t completely eliminated yet.”

The moment the silver needles pierced the pressure points, Jeremy’s muscles tensed slightly.

Amelia noticed right away. “Does it hurt?”

“I’m fine.” Jeremy opened his eyes, gazing at her as she concentrated. “Do you need me to come with you to the Nygard Residence tomorrow?”

Amelia didn’t stop what she was doing. “Nah, I can handle it.”

The more activities Marcelo arranged, the higher her fame would rise. She’d crush Gianna completely.

That sister–obsessed maniac Marcelo was going to lose his mind.

Jeremy looked at her thoughtfully. “So you plan to keep cooperating with them?”

“Why wouldn’t I?” Amelia sterilized and stored each silver needle carefully.

“The wider the path they pave for me, the higher I’ll climb. Gianna won’t be able to reach me no matter how hard she tries.” She looked up, a sharp glint in her eyes.

She was already planning to gradually cut off the Nygard Group’s funding. When they desperately needed investors, she’d swallow the company whole. Her contract would transfer over too. The look on their faces when they finally figured it out would be priceless.

Amelia had already begun making preparations.

Jeremy laughed. “You hold grudges better than I expected.”

Only then was Gianna finally satisfied.

When they got home, the other Nygard family members were waiting in the living room.

Seeing Gianna enter, Emery looked her over with concern. “Gianna, my sweetheart, you’ve gotten so thin.”
