The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 708

Hale was someone completely out of his league.

But that didn't mean he hadn't heard of the man.

It was precisely because he had only heard of Hale that he was even more curious about just how skilled this highly praised traditional doctor actually was.

He had been deeply regretful when he heard of Hale's passing.

So, now that Hale's student had suddenly appeared on his turf, how could he possibly pass up the chance to meet her?

"She's way too young," Xavier muttered to himself.

Claire wasn't deaf, so naturally, she heard him.

She didn't engage, leaving Dr. Duncan to handle the negotiations with Xavier.

When it came to using the tools, Claire finally turned to Xavier and expressed her thanks.

"Ancient medicine preparation methods are rarely seen these days, and even fewer people have the patience for it."

"If you don't mind my two clumsy students, let them be your assistants."

Xavier was testing Claire's skills while simultaneously pushing his own students.

He wanted to show them what a real master looked like, so they wouldn't go around acting like experts when they only had a superficial grasp of the craft.

He believed that someone Abbott praised so highly definitely had some genuine skill.

But still, didn't that need to be verified first?

"Do they know how to process the herbs?"

Claire knew exactly what he was trying to do and didn't refuse; having people help out would make things easier for her anyway.

"How do you want them processed? I'll do it for you."

In the end, it was Xavier himself who ended up playing assistant, while his two students stood on the sidelines, completely useless.

They truly had no idea what to do, and Xavier quickly realized that bringing his two students along was a bit of a humiliation; not only were they unhelpful, but they were actually getting in the way.

By the end of it, he refused to let them lift a finger.
