The Quintons turned to Felix, each with different emotions Warren felt an inexplicable excitement, whereas Nattie's and Sasha's faces were full of contempt. "Felix, you've really learned a thing or two in the past three years," Nattie remarked, her tone dripping with sarcasm despite the seemingly complimentary words. "A Rolls-Royce? Felix, you're amazing. I bet a helicopter will come pick you up the next time," Sasha chimed in with blatant mockery.

"Uncle Warren, I'll visit you again," Felix said, ignoring their words. He had more pressing matters, as the person with the Miracle Card required immediate aid.

As Warren saw Felix out, Nattie and Sasha reluctantly followed. Their expressions shifted slightly upon seeing the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the gate, but they remained unimpressed. "Are you Mr. Felix Zeller?" asked a man in a tailored suit and white gloves. He was Marco Jensen, the Kinsley family's chauffeur.

Upon Felix's confirmation, Marco opened the car door for him and then swiftly drove away.

Brimming with pride, Warren declared, "Did you see that? I knew Felix would rise to greatness. That was a brand-new Rolls-Royce Phantom! Sasha, marrying him would be your greatest fortune." Warren entered the villa with hearty laughter, while Sasha crossed her arms with a sneer.

"Dad is too biased toward Felix to see through his act. That car was obviously rented."

Nattie nodded in agreement.

"Exactly! Felix underestimates us if he thinks this will get him to marry you and take a share of our assets. Sasha, you need to make Felix back off within these three months." Sasha clung to Nattie's arm, her eyes gleamed with confidence. "Don't worry, Mom. I'll get rid of him in a week!"

At the thought of Felix's shabby appearance, Sasha was convinced he was a good-for-nothing trying to marry her for her family's wealth. There was no way he would succeed.

In the grand Kinsley Mansion, Xander was waiting for the concoction he was brewing to be ready. Only then could he combine it with acupuncture to extend Bernard's life. "Dr. Fielding, the medicine is ready."

A rich herbal aroma filled the room, and Xander stood up.
