Chapter 411
Chapter 411 Triny’s Provocation
After class, Mr. Conan looked at Lillian. “You’ve studied traditional medicine p>
“Yes,” Lillian replied directly. “I grew up around it and studied it for nearly ten years p>
Mr. Conan was stunned; the thought of such a young woman dedicating herself to something so dry and complicated-and sticking with it for years-was beyond him. “Then why did you go on to study modern medicine p>
Lillian met his gaze seriously. “If I can combine traditional and modern medicine, I believe I’ll be able to help more people p>
Her words lingered with Mr. Conan long after.
Perhaps it was because the buzz on the forums had faded that the rumors about Lillian and Jeremy gradually died down.
But word of Lillian’s knowledge of traditional medicine spread quickly through the school.
Meanwhile, in Murica.
Inside a villa, a woman in a red silk nightgown lounged on the bed. Her figure was sensual and alluring; her delicate makeup made her beauty all the more dangerous.
At the foot of the bed, a man buttoned his shirt with deliberate elegance, every movement carrying a kind of addictive grace.
“Did you know Mr. Merrick went to Dracovia?” His voice was deep and resonant.
The woman twirled a strand of hair around her finger, her tone soft and teasing. “Of course. He went with Eric to attend Million Corp’s anniversary gala p>
The man’s lips curved into a cold smile. “Really? Because I heard Mr. Merrick’s been meeting frequently-and privately-with Xavier p>
Her eyes instantly turned cold. She sat up straight. “Is that so? Why didn’t I know about this p>
He let out a low laugh. “Because you spend all your time clawing for scraps right in fro you, Naturally you’ve missed the bigger picture. And as for what happened back then-no one knows yet, but who’s to say Mr. Merrick won’t discover something p>
A sharp glint flickered in her eyes. “I understand. Leave it to me; I’ll have someone look into it p>
The man picked up his coat from the bed, kissed her cheek lightly, and said, “Then good luck. I’m heading out.” With that, he strode away.

Chapter 411 Triny’s Provocation
The woman hurried to her feet, grabbed her phone, and dialed. “Find out exactly who Mr. Merrick met in Dracovia-and put someone on him. I want eyes on every move p>
When she hung up, she sat down at her vanity, staring at her reflection in the mirror. A low murmur slipped from her lips. Why must there be another to rival me?
That day, Lillian was reading in her dorm when her phone rang.
An unfamiliar number.
Without thinking, she answered.
“Lillian, I want to talk to you.” Triny’s voice came through immediately.
Lillian glanced at the screen, then let out a cold laugh. “Just because Ms. Triny wants to talk, I should jump? That would make me look pretty pathetic. Besides, I don’t see what there is for us to discuss p>
Triny’s tone was icy. “Don’t you want to know what really happened that night p>
“I don’t.” Lillian cut her off flatly.
Triny gave a short, bitter laugh. “If you come, I’ll tell you who gave me that drug. Remember, be here before three. After that, the offer’s off the table.” She hung up without another word.

Lillian stared at the phone, her expression wavering. After a moment’s hesitation, she stood and left.
When she arrived at the hospital, Triny was the only one there. She was reclining on the bed, looking relaxed as she scrolled through her phone. Her face no longer looked as pale as before; still, her hand was wrapped in fresh gauze.
Seeing Lillian walk in, she smiled. “You came. Not bad-you’re actually on time p>
“Say it. Who gave you the drug?” Lillian didn’t waste a second on pleasantries.
