The Enchanting Doctor With a Bite novel Chapter 1

The atmosphere in the living room of the Vance residence was tense.

"I can cure Mr. Vance Senior's illness. All I ask is that Mr. Vance cancel his engagement to Iris and marry me!"

Kylie Clark stood confidently under the scrutiny of the crowd. Her delicate facial features held an extraordinary boldness and confidence.

As soon as she spoke, the room filled with gasps of shock. Kylie was dressed in plain and rustic attire, which suggested she came from the mountains. She didn't strike the image of someone who'd know anything about medicine.

Yet she was bold enough to publicly force a marriage with Samuel Vance, the head of the Vance family!

Samuel Vance, the top billionaire on the rankings of the wealthiest and the youngest head of the Vance family, was a business tycoon who instilled both fear and admiration in all.

They wondered if Kylie did not fear death.

"You?" A cold, mocking voice broke the silence.

Kylie looked up to meet Samuel's sharp eyes. Her heart clenched tightly.

His flawless facial features were sculpted to perfection, and every move he made exuded a noble, elegant air. A man like him was born to be worshipped.

If Kylie hadn't been left with no other choice, she would never have resorted to such an extreme measure and used Vincent Vance's illness to force this marriage.

"Shut up, Kylie! Have you lost your mind? Do you know what place this is? How dare you play doctor and steal your sister's man!" her biological mother, Euphemia Jennings, snapped.

With that, she turned to Samuel with a fawning smile. "Don't listen to her nonsense, Mr. Vance. I just brought her back from the mountains. She grew up in a sanctuary and didn't attend elementary school; what could she possibly know about medicine?

"It's our fault for not disciplining her well enough. I never expected her not to know her place and harbor such improper thoughts."

Kylie remained unfazed by Euphemia's attitude. Instead, she gave Samuel a firm look and calmly said, "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Vance Senior is currently experiencing limb convulsions and an accelerated heart rate.

"An ambulance will never make it. And even if he makes it to the hospital in time, his body can't withstand surgery either."

"How would you know about Grandpa's condition?" Samuel's gaze darkened as his suspicion toward Kylie grew deeper.

Calmly meeting his gaze, Kylie explained, "Traditional medicine relies on visual, auditory, olfactory, and questioning diagnostic methods. I could tell just by looking."

Samuel seemed briefly surprised. He pondered for seconds and curled his lips into a cold, mocking smile. "Fine. I'll marry you if you can cure Grandpa."

Kylie wasn't surprised by his response. She knew very well that Vincent was over a hundred years old and had zero chance of surviving surgery.

Samuel respected Vincent greatly. He'd agree to any condition as long as there was even a sliver of hope.

On the contrary, the rest of the Vance family erupted in outrage, especially Iris Dale, Kylie's so-called sister and Samuel's original fiancée.

She urgently called out, "Samuel! Countless medical experts have failed to cure Grandpa; isn't it too risky to leave his fate in her hands? What if…"

Iris had come today to finalize her marriage with Samuel. She was supposed to be the future lady of the Vances. But now, with Vincent critically ill, how dare Kylie take advantage of the situation to force a marriage!

The Vance family adored Iris and immediately voiced their agreement by mocking Kylie.

"Exactly! Iris is right! She's just some country bumpkin; she might end up killing Mr. Vance Senior instead!"

"She's taking advantage of the situation and clearly harboring evil intentions! Samuel, don't let her deceive you!"

The protests went on.
