Master Lincoln frowned even more tightly and his eyes showed an unmistakable disgust when he saw Marie’s obese body and scars on her face.
Marie didn’t look like this when she first entered the juvenile detention center.
Three years had passed, but Marie had not made any progress.
Instead, she became uglier and uglier.
This made Master Lincoln, who was already in a bad mood, even more stern in his expression.
“Look at you! You’re lazy and don’t exercise even in the juvenile detention center.”
“She just came back. Let her adjust first.”
“And the environment in the juvenile detention center is not good. I think she may be swollen. She’ll be fine in a while.”
Marionette heard Madam Lincoln speaking up for Marie and a dark glint flashed in her eyes.
But the next moment, she smiled and greeted them.
“Dad, Mom, come sit down. I cut some fruit for you!”
Madam Lincoln glanced at the clock on the wall.
“Marionette, aren’t you going to the cram school today?”
According to the schedule, Marionette should be getting ready to leave now.
“The teacher at the cram school is absent today, so I don’t have to go.”
Normally, she should have gone, but Madam Lincoln’s attitude towards Marie made her wary, so she changed her mind.
“Okay.”
Madam Lincoln didn’t delve into it and instead turned to Master Lincoln.
“Honey, is the project not going well this time?”
“Don’t even mention it!” Master Lincoln replied irritably.
“Our company’s conditions are similar to those of the Dorgu Family Group, but the CEO of Nine Skies Group, Zeke, is extremely obsessed with traditional Chinese painting, especially collecting works by famous artists.”
“The manager of the Dorgu Family Group promised to give President Tom a representative work by the first master of Pearl City’s traditional Chinese painting.”
“Although President Tom hasn’t made a clear statement, I feel that this project is most likely going to them!”
Madam Lincoln was indignant at the news.
“Isn’t the Dorgu Family Group too cunning?”
“It’s just traditional Chinese painting, we can also think of a way!”
Marionette was worried that Marie’s position in Master Lincoln and Madam Lincoln’s hearts would change, so she quickly offered to help solve the business difficulties.
“Oh? You know Master Alex disciple?” Master Lincoln usually serious face showed a hint of surprise.
He had given up hope before, but now that Marionette had spoken up, he suddenly felt that the project might still have a chance.
“At the art exhibition last time, Simon spoke highly of me and even said he would help me with guidance if I wanted to apply for an art college,” Marionette said, pulling out Simon’s business card.
“I’ll contact Simon later!” she added eagerly.
“Good, I’ll leave it to you,” Master Lincoln said, admiring his sensible and capable daughter.
But then he noticed Marie sitting on the other side and frowned.
When he looked at her alone, he didn’t feel as strongly dissatisfied.
But compared to Marionette, Marie was a waste.
Both were his daughters, but Marionette was beautiful, intelligent, and empathetic, while Marie was stupid, clumsy, and had a criminal record.
The contrast was so great that he couldn’t help but feel a sense of aversion towards Marie.
And Marionette’s deliberate behavior only made it more obvious.
“Ding Dong! Ding Dong!”
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
The maid went to open the door and found a middle-aged stranger standing outside.
“Sir, Madam, someone is here to see you!”
Marionette glanced over to the entrance and saw that the man standing there was none other than Master Alex personal assistant, whom she remembered being called
“Assistant Jason” by Simon.
The art exhibition had only ended a few days ago, and Marionette wondered if Master Alex had heard about her talent from Simon and had sent his assistant to inform her that he wanted her as his disciple.
Excited at the possibility, Marionette stood up and approached Assistant Jason.
“You must be Mr. Jason,” she said.
Master and Madam Lincoln looked at each other, curious as to why Assistant Jason had come.
Master Lincoln was proud of his daughter for seeming so familiar with the assistant, but just as he was about to greet him, he noticed that Assistant Evans was ignoring Marionette and heading straight for Marie.
“Miss Lincoln, I am Jason, Master Alex assistant. I have come on his behalf to request that you cure his chronic illness,” Jason said.
Master and Madam Lincoln also looked at Jason with surprise.
Master Lincoln quickly tried to explain that his daughter was not a doctor, but before he could say anything, Marie stood up from the sofa and calmly spoke.
“Where is Master Alex now?” Marie asked.
Jason’s eyes lit up.
“He’s still at the hospital from that day!”
“My car is outside, please follow me,” Jason said.
To her, Marie’s question indicated that she agreed to go and treat Master Alex.
After Marie and Jason left the villa, Master Lincoln, Madam Lincoln, and Marionette finally recovered from their shock.
“She knows nothing about medicine, yet she wants to treat Master Alex. If something goes wrong, our Lincoln Family will be finished!” Master Lincoln exclaimed.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Madam Lincoln followed Master Lincoln out the door.
Marionette followed closely behind.
By the time they ran out, Jason’s car had already started.
Master Lincoln didn’t have time to think, so he quickly let Madam Lincoln and Marionette get in the car and immediately followed.
Half an hour later, Marie arrived at Master Alex ward.
“Are you the divine doctor who saved me that day?”
Upon seeing Jason leading Marie into the room, Master Alex was about to get out of bed, but was stopped by Marie.
“Don’t move too much now, lie back down,” she said.
Master Alex complied and lay in bed, observing Marie.
“I never expected you to have such advanced medical skills at such a young age!” he exclaimed.
Master Alex knew his own physical condition best.
He had thought he wouldn’t make it, but someone had relieved his symptoms.
“Miracle doctor, can you really cure me?” he asked.
“With your current condition, I can cure you. Living another twenty or thirty years won’t be a problem,” Marie replied, taking out a silver needle.
Master Alex’ illness was caused by overwork and poor regulation of his meridians, which had led to its worsening.
For Marie, this was not a difficult case.
“Stop right there!” However, just as Marie was about to Pierce Master Alex with the Silver needle, Master Lincoln, Madam Lincoln, and Marionette rushed in, panting.
