Out of all the people, she set her eyes on Greg, yet he rejected her outright.

In her view, as a daughter of a wealthy family, it should have been his good fortune that she took an interest in Greg, and yet he dared to turn her down.

This left her feeling an unspeakable humiliation.

Later, when she heard that Greg had encountered some trouble, she felt both sad and vindicated.

She had long heard from Louisa about the young Divine Doctor, and at that time, she thought this so-called Divine Doctor must be a fraud, only to discover it was Greg.

After seeing Greg, this suspicion only intensified.

It had only been two years since that incident, even if Greg had recovered from his stupidity and his mind had improved, how could he suddenly have become knowledgeable in medicine?

Moreover, Greg’s attire had greatly improved since his school days, and judging by the car keys he was holding, he had even bought a car.

If he hadn’t been swindling and deceiving, where had all this money come from?

“Vivian, Greg is a good person, and his treatment really does work on me,” Louisa, seeing the misunderstanding between them, quickly grabbed her arm and explained, “You know my condition well, I used to get dizzy just standing in the sun for two minutes.

After Greg’s treatment, I can now spend a little while in the garden.”

“Are you serious?”

Vivian suddenly frowned and said, “Louisa, you can’t lie to me for his sake.”

Louisa’s eyes widened in shock, “Vivian, what are you thinking? Why would I lie to you?”

She glanced at the sun outside and said, “If you don’t believe me, we can go to the garden now.”

“No need, I was just saying.”

Upon hearing Louisa say this, Vivian didn’t have much to say, as she would not want to take responsibility if anything were to happen.

However, her suspicion of Greg not only did not diminish but deepened.

Seeing her best friend had now fallen silent, Louisa breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Greg, “Greg, Vivian doesn’t have any ill intentions, she’s just worried about me; don’t take it to heart.”

“Hmm.”

Greg nodded indifferently and sat beside her, saying, “Stretch out your arm, let me take your pulse.”

“Okay.”

Louisa obediently pushed up her sleeve, revealing a delicate and fair arm, which she placed on Greg’s lap.

Greg’s three fingers rested on her wrist as he closed his eyes in thought.

Vivian watched his composed demeanor and felt a surge of distaste, sneering,

“You’re putting on quite the act.”

“Vivian…”

Louisa shook her head at her, hinting for her not to go on.

Vivian felt speechless, but she didn’t say anything more, although her gaze towards Greg was somewhat hostile.

A short while later, Greg opened his eyes and smiled, “The yin energy in your body has lessened, but you’ll need to continue taking the medicine to maintain the progress.

Once it’s completely cleared, you can be outside all day like everyone else.”

“Thank you, Greg.”

Upon hearing this, Louisa immediately smiled happily.

Vivian scoffed, “Wow, to fool people, you’re even bringing up something as superstitious as ‘yin energy’?”

However, as if Greg hadn’t heard her, he continued speaking to Louisa, “Are you still wearing the Jade Pendant I gave you?”

“I am.”

Louisa said and pulled out the Jade Pendant from her chest, dangled it in front of Greg, and smiled, “I’ve been wearing it all the time; I only take it off when I shower.”

“Yeah, wear it, it can nourish your body normally and protect you in critical moments.”

“Mhm, got it.”

Vivian Shimpson saw Greg Jensen ignore her, chatting and laughing with Louisa Burley, and her face turned livid with anger.

She stood up and pulled Louisa Burley upstairs, huffing, “Come on, stop chatting with her, be careful she deceives you.”

“Oh, Vivian, what are you doing? Greg won’t deceive me.”

Louisa Burley felt it was a bit rude, and after struggling unsuccessfully to free herself, she could only cast an apologetic glance at Greg Jensen.

At that moment, Spencer Burley walked in, yawning. Seeing Vivian Shimpson was there too, his expression changed slightly, and he said indifferently, “Oh, Vivian’s here too.”

“Mhm.”

Vivian Shimpson nodded and pulled Louisa Burley upstairs.

Louisa Burley, having no choice, turned to Spencer Burley and said, “Magnus, keep Greg company for a bit, I’ll come down soon.”

“Mhm, sure.”

After watching the two of them enter a room, Spencer Burley let out a sigh of relief and collapsed weakly onto the sofa.

“Why is Vivian Shimpson here?”

Greg Jensen smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know either.

Suddenly, Spencer Burley leaned in, a mysterious smile on his face, and whispered, “Greg, do you have a history with Vivian Shimpson?”

“No.”

“Hey, I heard everything outside. She called you a swindler.”

Spencer Burley winked, smiling, “Vivian Shimpson might be a bit arrogant, but her character is still good. She definitely wouldn’t slander someone.

If there’s no story between you two, why would she call you a swindler? Did you know each other before?”

Greg Jensen nodded, “Mhm, college classmates.”

“Oh…”

Dragging out his words, Spencer Burley grinned as if he had seen through everything, teasing, “Did you chase after her in college and got rejected, and then she got sick of you?”

“That’s not it, we were just ordinary classmates,” said Greg Jensen, resigned to the misunderstanding.

Spencer Burley chuckled, “Still keeping secrets from me, huh?”

“I told you, there’s nothing!”

“Alright, alright, if you say there’s nothing, then there’s nothing.”

Something struck Spencer Burley as funny, and he laughed like a weasel grinning at a chicken.

Today was rather quiet at the Burley household, with Joey and the others not around, only Louisa Burley and her brother, as well as Greg Jensen and Vivian Shimpson.

With just four people dining, there wasn’t much food prepared, but everything made was delicious.

Their family had an auntie who specialized in cooking, with unquestionable skills, even someone as critical as Vivian Shimpson couldn’t help but praise the meals.

However, with Vivian Shimpson around, Spencer Burley lost his usual liveliness, and the atmosphere at the dining table was somewhat tense.

After the meal, Louisa Burley suggested, “How about we go sing karaoke later? It’s been so long since I’ve been to KTV.”

“We have a media room at home, you can just sing here. Why spend the money?”

Since Spencer Burley didn’t really get along with Vivian Shimpson, he was somewhat reluctant, but considering it wasn’t good to send two girls alone, he eventually agreed to go.

Greg Jensen said, “You all go ahead, I’ll pass.”

“Come on, let’s all go have some fun,” Louisa Burley said with a smile.

Leaning in close, Spencer Burley whispered, “Greg, come keep me company, man. If I go alone with them, I’m going to be bored to death.”

Greg Jensen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll go with you. But just so you know, I can’t sing.”

“Haha, no worries, as long as you can listen, that’s fine.”
