Chapter 405: Chapter 404

Seeing that the elders were about to carp at her again, Nicole raised her voice and announced, “Oh, right. I feel rather sorry for allowing you to play for nothing. How about this?”

Nicole walked over to Evan and extended her hand.

“Mr. Seet, it’s only appropriate that we reward Ms. Sweeting for her efforts, isn’t it?”

Sofie’s expression darkened at once.

Reward? What does she take me for? A clown for their entertainment?

Evan took out a card cooperatively, but upon consideration, he kept the card in his wallet again.

“There’s too much money on my card. Do you have a card of a hundred thousand?” He turned to look at Davin. “Since Nicole liked the song earlier, let’s just reward her with a hundred thousand.”

Davin was reluctant to reward Sofie with a hundred thousand.

He didn’t expect his brother to trample on her as well.

“I do have a hundred thousand here, but isn’t that too much? I think that fifty thousand is enough.”

Davin looked at Sofie. “Let’s negotiate on this. How does fifty thousand sound?”

Sofie blanched at his words, her hands clenching involuntarily.

Feeling aggrieved for his daughter, Anthony shot to his feet and confronted Jonathan, “The Sweeting family and the Seet family are family friends. Sofie had specially dedicated a song to congratulate Evan. You can’t just trash her for her kindness!”

Sheila, who had been watching quietly at the side, couldn’t help but sneer. “Kindness? What a joke! If she was doing it out of kindness, she should have known her place then. Today’s a special day for Nicole. Not only did she steal her limelight, rather, but she’s also sulking over the cash reward. Don’t ingrate yourself with the Seet family then if you’re unhappy!”

“How could you say that?” Anthony glowered at Sheila.

Sheila rolled her eyes at him as she replied unyieldingly, “My family has taught me to speak of nothing but the truth, unlike the Sweeting family, who have skins as thick as rhinos.”

“Y-You… I’ll let this slide for the sake of your father.”

“You think that my father cares?”

Anthony trembled with rage, suddenly collapsing to the ground.

“Dad, Dad! Are you okay?” Sofie was thoroughly flustered.

So was everyone else in the room.

Davin glared daggers at Sheila, yelling at her to call for an ambulance.

The living room was instantly put in a bustle with screams and shouts.

Nicole walked over to Anthony to check his pulse.

“What are you doing?” Sofie grabbed her hand that was about to reach out to take Anthony’s hand.

“Do you want to save your father?”

She’s the miracle doctor, Dr. Tussaud, from back then.

But…

“Your father is in a critical state now. You’d better decide quickly on whether you want me to save him or not.”

What is more important than saving Dad’s life? Me stealing the limelight? God is so unfair!

“S-Save my dad…”

At that, Nicole immediately took Anthony’s pulse. “Unbutton his shirt.”

Sofie followed her instruction.

Nicole then had Sophia look for three silver needles. After she disinfected them, she aimed for his acupoints and pierced them in deftly.

Everyone at the side began to wonder how Nicole knew about acupuncture in hushed whispers.

“You guys probably didn’t know this, but Nicole is the famous miracle doctor, Dr. Tussaud.”

“Dr. Tussaud?”

“You don’t know of her? Search it up on the internet. She’s really famous.”

Some of them had heard of the miracle doctor, but they couldn’t believe that Nicole was Dr. Tussaud.

Having heard Davin’s words, some of them drew out their phones to search for Dr. Tussaud through their search engines.
