It was a quiet night. The VIP ward of the hospital was so silent that even a pin drop could be heard.
In the office of the attending physician, Clarice placed a black bank card on the coffee table and leisurely sipped her tea.
“Dr. Amaryllis, what do you mean by this?” Dr. Wagner stared at the card in astonishment.
Clarice smiled slowly and asked, “The blood test results for Mr. Salvador are out. Dr. Wagner, surely you must have noticed something unusual, right?”
Dr. Wagner hesitated in his words. “Mr. Salvador’s blood sample does indeed contain some peculiar substances.”
“For instance, methamphetamine?” Clarice added.
Dr. Wagner was stunned. “How do you know?!”
“In truth, you must have suspected this from the beginning of his treatment. His symptoms—rather than being signs of a recurring headache—are more akin to those of a drug withdrawal episode, aren’t they?” Clarice’s eyes gleamed coldly as she pressed him further.
Dr. Wagner’s hands trembled, barely able to hold his teacup. He hurriedly tried to explain. “Severe headaches can sometimes induce similar reactions under intense stress. It doesn’t necessarily mean drug withdrawal.”
The idea that Justin, the esteemed president of the Salvador Corporation, might be battling a drug addiction was unthinkable.
If word got out, not only would the entire Salvador Corporation be shaken to its core, but the whole of Savrow would be thrown into chaos. His own life could also be in peril. He had to tread carefully!
With a crisp clink, Clarice placed her teacup down, a cold smirk playing on her lips. “What if it really is a case of drug addiction?”
Dr. Wagner broke into a cold sweat and stammered, “Dr. Amaryllis, what exactly are you implying?”
“I want you, as Mr. Salvador’s attending physician, to issue a medical report stating that his illness is caused by drug abuse. Specify every substance found in the test results. This card contains a $10 million deposit. Once the task is done, you will receive an additional $20 million as compensation. You will not be shortchanged.”
Raising her chin slightly, Clarice looked at him with an air of superiority. “That’s $30 million. Dr. Wagner, you probably wouldn’t earn that much even if you worked yourself to death in this job. Besides, I know you are in desperate need of money. Your son, who is studying abroad, has severely injured someone and is now in custody, requiring a hefty sum to resolve the matter. Your wife also needs a bone marrow transplant, which is no small expense.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson)
I am reading this book from last year. Its very long story but at start i find enjoyable.Still there is no closure , dragging the story and the writer is running out of ideas. Its frustrating that they don't upload chapters regularly....
If you are about to start reading this “ongoing” book….don’t. It’s a great read but mo regular updates and leaves you hanging. Took me months to get to chapter 2370 (this app only has it to chapter 2368….learned to search different links to read ahead a bit). These ongoing books are just not worth the time since their author (s) take days/weeks to upload new chapters. Again great sultry, long drawn out at times, but not worth the frustration of no new updates....
No update in 6 days!!! Really??? I’m about over this story and ready to move on, the wait is to long....
Pls update regularly or least let us know why it's taking so long...
Ok I was thinking last night. I really hope the author hasn’t been affected by hurricane Helene. Not sure where they are located but I hope everyone is safe...
It’s been 87 years since the update with only 2 chapters. 🙄...
Why is it taking so long to update chapters....
