As soon as the words left his mouth, Ethan Hsieh realized what he'd just said.
He always considered himself a gentleman—he would never speak harshly to a woman without good reason. But Serena Feng truly had a way of making people lose their composure.
It was the first time he'd ever insulted a woman, and Ethan felt a bit uneasy about it. He snuck a glance at Serena Feng, secretly regretting his words.
But proud as he was, Ethan would never admit he was wrong, even if he knew it. Besides, he didn’t really think he’d made a mistake—he’d just been a bit blunt.
And with his old rival Caleb Wang present, Ethan would never back down, even if it killed him.
As if to prove he was in the right, Ethan raised his voice again: “Serena Feng, listen—I'm giving you a chance to make up for your mistakes. Magistrate Wei says you can solve the Wang and Hsieh family case. Come with me now. If you handle this properly, I'll let bygones be bygones and won't hold it against you.”
Serena Feng gave Ethan a light laugh. “Magistrate Wei? Just because he says I can, does that mean I actually can? I barely know the man.”
She wasn’t refusing out of spite—she simply didn’t want to get involved in the feud between the Wang and Hsieh families.
Victor Wei, right?
I’ll remember you, Victor Wei.
One day, I’ll make you understand the price of offending a doctor—especially a woman doctor.
You’d best pray you never fall into my hands, because I’ll make you pay dearly.
And as for the young masters of the Wang and Hsieh clans, they’d better hope they never have to come begging to Serena Feng.
Serena Feng lowered her head slightly, concealing the cold glint in her eyes.
Being a doctor is a sacred calling. A good doctor can save a life, a family, even the fate of a nation.
But Serena trusted her own skill.
She sighed...
“Serena Feng, what’s the meaning of this? You dare refuse both the Wang and Hsieh families?” Caleb Wang frowned in displeasure.
He and Ethan Hsieh had come together to invite her, yet she dared to refuse. In this world, no one but Serena Feng would have the nerve to defy them like that.
Forget Serena Feng—even the Crown Prince would hesitate to say 'no' to the Wang and Hsieh heirs, given their power.
