Chapter 74
“Wait, what? How did she end up being yours?”
Roy demanded, “Joshua, explain yourself!”
Roy was still confused and about to ask something when Bradley walked over and reported, “Mr. York, Kingston–the second master of Black Piver Company–wants to play a match with you. Looks like he’s hoping to discuss a potential partnership in new energy with you.”
Joshua spotted Kingston in the adjacent lounge area, dressed in a crisp white tracksuit. He sat cross–legged on a chair, wearing a deceptively warm
smile.
Still, his overly effeminate aura made him seem neither here nor there–completely out of place.
Henry glanced over and remarked, “How does Kingston always get the inside scoop? The moment there’s any progress on your project, he comes sniffing around for a partnership.”
Although Black River Company was always the first to act, Joshua rarely did business with them. After all, their values didn’t align, and Black River Company was known for its shady business practices.
“He just wants to cozy up to Joshua,” Roy said, stroking his chin. “Henry, not everyone is as close to Joshua as you and I are. He’s just trying to muscle his way in and get into his inner circle.
“I’ve noticed for ages that guy’s been trying to be Joshua’s sidekick,” Roy remarked with a smirk. “Too bad Joshua doesn’t give a damn about him. Bradley’s a hundred times better.”
Bradley was speechless.
Henry couldn’t help but think, ‘Roy really has issues–he can read men like an open book, but when it comes to women, he’s blind as a bat and can’t tell right from wrong.’
Henry mused, ‘Gotta admit, Joshua’s charisma really works on both men and women.‘
Joshua screwed the bottle cap shut and said evenly, “Go tell him this is personal time–no business.”
Clearly, Kingston was eager to collaborate, but once again found himself shown the door.
Though Kingston kept a calm facade upon hearing the result, his eyes betrayed a sinister and menacing glint.
Setting down his water bottle, Joshua turned to Henry and the others. “Who’s up?”
Roy was still fixated on what Joshua had said earlier—what did he mean, that hacker was his people? He couldn’t help but press, “Joshua, explain yourself! How did she end up being yours? Have you even met her? Is she good–looking or what?”
Joshua picked up his racket, raised an eyebrow, and teased, “Wanna know?”
Roy nodded furiously, his head bobbing up and down like a pecking bird.
Joshua smirked, “Beat me, and I’ll tell you.”
But as it turned out, Roy got utterly demolished.
After Wendelyn went viral, she briefly enjoyed a wave of popularity. But her time in the spotlight was short–lived, as another trending topic suddenly rocketed to the top of the charts.
[Prodigy Ms. Shue from Sterling University Returns]
It was no coincidence that Shermaine made it onto the trending list. She had recently performed surgery on a high–ranking political figure in Yaleview

Hospital, and just this morning, that very person was interviewed, as everyone in the Basterel was extremely concerned about his health,
In the interview video, Noel Barker recalled, “According to my wife, after I fell into a coma and was lying in the operating room, my life was hanging by a
thread.
“Even Dr. Shelly–a surgeon of such caliber hesitated to operate, given the less than 20% success rate and my rather delicate position. But fortune smiled on me.”
The editor–in–chief asked, “What do you mean by that?”
Noel spoke gently, “It just so happened that Dr. Shue, Dr. Shelly’s junior colleague, was back in Basterel. With a single phone call, she came over and personally performed the surgery–snatching me back from death’s door.”
“Dr. Shue?”
“Yes, Ms. Shue,” Noel confirmed.
If even the renowned Dr. Danielle hesitated to perform the surgery, yet her junior, Dr. Shue, pulled it off–What did that imply?
Afterward, the editor–in–chief did some research on Dr. Shue through international platforms and discovered that she was highly revered and admired abroad.
Countless influential figures tried–and failed–to secure her for surgery, as she was perpetually busy and almost impossible to track down. Yet every operation she performed boasted a success rate of over 95%, with zero fatalities or mistakes.
Unfortunately, there were virtually no photos of Dr. Shue circulating on international platforms–unsurprising, really. A surgical genius of her caliber would undoubtedly face endless hassles in daily life if her appearance became public.
Even more importantly, this legendary figure was from Wallington–one of their own. This thrilled the editor–in–chief and filled him with immense pride.
So today’s interview focused heavily on this remarkable figure. With the editor–in–chief having over ten million followers and featuring such a legendary person, it was almost impossible for it not to become a trending topic.
The comments section exploded.
“Ms. Shue is an absolute legend at Sterling–on another level compared to Danielle. Heard she’s exceptional in other fields too. And get this–she’s only
19!”
“I was just browsing some international forums and saw rumors that a real estate tycoon in Moranta was willing to offer nine luxury mansions to hire Dr. Shue as his private physician. Not sure if that’s true though.”
“OP, I’m in the Moranta and can confirm it’s true, but Dr. Shue didn’t even bother to acknowledge him–totally ignored him.”
“Holy crap, who is this absolute legend?”
“I’m dying to know what this legend really looks like!”
“Wow, I’m seriously in awe–Wallington keeps producing amazing talent, but someone like her? She’s truly a once–in–a–century genius!”
Yaleview Hospital Official: Got a tough case? Come to us–we can arrange for Dr. Shue to handle it for you!
Medical University Official: Heard that this legend was spotted at our hospital today! So excited!
Other Hospitals Official: Legend, please show up!
Danielle never expected Shermaine to go viral like this. Fortunately, none of Shermaine’s personal details were exposed–anyone trying to dig them up would fail. The Medical University wouldn’t dare disclose her information without her consent.
Out of curiosity, Wendelyn also clicked into the post and scrolled through the comments. Biting her lip, she thought, ‘Wow, there really are such geniuses

in the world! Only 19, and already so accomplished in medicine.‘
