Chapter 121 The Good Show Has Already Ended

Seeing this scene, Isabelle's gaze toward Anthony became different.

At the same time, she felt more and more respect for him.

This young guy always paid back his debts. Even a small favor, he'd find ways to return it a hundred times over. His character was truly good, and his medical skills were so amazing. Her condition had long been hopeless in her parents' eyes.

It wasn't about the money, but that with America's current medical capabilities, there was simply no way to wake her up again.

Yet the unknown Anthony had such miraculous medical skills.

And from what her parents and best friend said, Anthony came to their house and soon after, she completely woke up.

What did this mean?

It meant Anthony's medical skills were extraordinary, that he was no ordinary person.

With such brilliant medical abilities, she had to stay on good terms with him.

After all, people are flesh and blood—who never gets sick?

Besides, about that illness, she still had some questions in her mind and wanted to ask Anthony in person. According to her parents and friends, Anthony's diagnosis back then was—she'd been hit with some kind of strange poison curse.

That was too crazy. Who on earth would want to do that to her?

If what Anthony said was true, thinking about it carefully was truly terrifying.

It meant someone in the family wanted her dead. This person had to be found.

Of course, all this required Anthony's help.

Otherwise, she didn't even understand what voodoo dark magic was.

Earlier she wanted to invite Anthony into her office at the sales center to talk about exactly this.

Who knew Anthony said he still had urgent matters to handle.

Isabelle guessed this was probably Anthony's excuse.

So she planned to stay right here and quietly tell Anthony what was on her mind.

But before she could speak, urgent footsteps came from the entrance of the sales center.

A young man and woman, looking smug, walked in one after another.

Especially the woman in front, looking anxious.

As soon as she entered, she couldn't wait to ask right there.

"Rihanna, you urgently called me and David over here. What show exactly do you want us to watch?"

Seeing it was Theresa and David coming in, Anthony instantly understood why they were here.

He knew what was going on and laughed as he teased them.

"Oh, you came to watch a show? Too bad, the show's already over. Sorry you wasted your trip."

At that moment, David happened to step through the door.

He caught sight of Anthony and his expression showed surprise.

"Huh, how come it's you?"

Seeing his strong reaction, Anthony stayed calm.

"What, my being here surprises you? Why shouldn't it be me?"

David naturally couldn't say something like "our family's expert already made a move, how are you still alive?"

That would expose the truth about the family's plot against Anthony.

"Ahem—"

David looked awkward and pretended to cough: "Well, that was just a slip of the tongue, a slip..."

Hearing him say this, Anthony further confirmed his suspicion about this David.

That night on his way home, he happened to run into a supernatural event.

Beyond being shocked, he suddenly realized that this world wasn't as simple as he initially thought, but a complex and diverse world.

From David's reaction when he entered just now, it was quite obvious: the one who made a move against him last time was an expert from the Douglas family.

This made Anthony very curious about this family.

Earlier Poppy had warned him that the Douglas family had powerful backing and told him to be careful, but he didn't take it seriously at the time.

But what happened that night made him highly alert.

If it were ordinary people, even world-class assassins, it wouldn't be so easy to get rid of him.

But there were quite a few mysterious beings in this world.

That bully Zachary he got rid of before even had a necromancer working for him.

Although just a beginner necromancer, he could easily summon ghost maids and underground zombies, which would be a nightmare for ordinary people.

That's also why he stopped those two assassins who wanted to make a move at the time.

In the end, he personally dealt with those two necromancers himself.

If the Douglas family really had strong backing, then what exactly was supporting them?

"What, a slip of the tongue? You think I'll believe that?" Anthony's tone was mocking.

David's face turned red: "Whether you believe it or not, what's it to me? I just thought, Rihanna called us to watch some drama, and David and I rushed over, but you're here instead. It just surprised me a bit."

Hearing his excuse, Anthony didn't expose him further.

There was plenty of time ahead. He had enough time to figure out the Douglas family's secrets.

No need to rush.

Poppy on the side also came to her senses.

"Oh, that's why you two are here too—Rihanna must have called you over..." Poppy said this angrily.

She didn't expect that Rihanna would be so cruel, humiliating her while also messaging David and Theresa to call them over to watch the show.

But Poppy, who was angry just a second ago, suddenly burst out laughing: "Haha, God really has eyes. Bad people finally got what they deserved."

David and Theresa were both confused.

"Poppy, don't be so sour and sarcastic. What do you mean?"

After Theresa came in and didn't see her best friend, her heart sank, and she had a bad feeling out of nowhere...

"Rihanna, where are you? Why aren't you coming out?"

Theresa couldn't hold back and started shouting.

But Poppy looked cold and deliberately played dumb: "What, you're here looking for her? Oh my, what bad timing. You're one step too late..."

Seeing Poppy mocking David and Theresa like this, Anthony on the side couldn't help but laugh, his eyes wide with surprise.

He didn't expect she had this side to her.

But she should fight back when needed. He supported Poppy doing this—being soft on bad people is being cruel to yourself.

Right now was the perfect time to kick them while they were down.

"Too late? What do you mean?" Theresa looked shocked.

Just now Rihanna called her, telling her to come watch a good show.

As for what the show was, she didn't say clearly, only mentioned it was related to Anthony and Poppy.

So she quickly called David.

David was also very curious—after all, his father had told him early on that the family's expert had already made a move against Anthony.

Could it be that even in this situation, Anthony was still alive?
