Every single person in the room was a titan of industry or a powerful dignitary.
With them spreading the word, Natalia's reputation as a medical goddess would skyrocket overnight.
"Just out of curiosity, what exactly is Mr. Salazar suffering from?"
An abrupt, mocking voice sliced through the murmurs of awe, capturing everyone's attention.
Landon and Natalia snapped their heads toward the source of the sound.
Seeing the speaker's face, a venomous blend of hatred and dread flashed in their eyes.
Maeve? Why was she always here?
Wherever she showed up, catastrophe followed.
Worse yet, standing right beside her, exuding pure dominance, was Andres White.
Judging by their relaxed postures, they had been enjoying the show for quite some time.
Landon had been so hyper-focused on Leonardo that he hadn't noticed his two biggest enemies lurking in the crowd.
It was a disastrous oversight.
Their presence cast a dark, threatening shadow over his carefully constructed plan.
Natalia, however, was secretly thrilled to have Andres watching her.
She was desperate to make him regret throwing her out of Azure Bay so ruthlessly.
Landon had promised her that once her reputation was cemented, Andres would be begging on his knees for her to return and cure his paralyzed mother.
The image of the untouchable Andres White groveling for her forgiveness sparked a euphoric, soap-opera-like fantasy in her mind.
She imagined him realizing his terrible mistake, consumed by regret, and dedicating his life to winning her back.
Maeve's razor-sharp voice shattered Natalia's delusional daydream.
"You still haven't answered my question. What disease does Mr. Salazar have?"
The mere sight of Maeve filled Natalia with burning resentment.
"What business is it of yours?"
Maeve tilted her chin up, arms crossed, a taunting smirk playing on her lips.
"You can't even name the disease you're treating. Where do you get the nerve to play doctor?"
"Healing takes time. No disease vanishes in an instant."
"What doctor in the world can cure a chronic illness on the spot?"
"I know you despise me, but questioning my medical expertise in front of Mr. Salazar just to settle a petty grudge is pathetic."
Leonardo looked at Maeve in confusion.
"You two know each other?"
Landon swiftly interjected.
"You might not be aware, Mr. Salazar, but this young woman's hostility stems from the man standing next to her, Mr. White."
Landon wanted the entire room to think this was just a pathetic catfight over Andres's affection.
Andres, who had intended to stay out of the petty squabble, couldn't stomach Landon's sleazy tactics.
"Mr. Hart, men shouldn't interfere in women's disagreements."
"But since you dragged me into this, I'll give Mr. Salazar the clarification he deserves."
"This Natalia woman was indeed brought to Azure Bay recently, posing as the Shadow Healer to treat my mother's legs."
