At that moment, Charlie felt a deep sense of frustration.

The only reason he had agreed to come to this gathering was out of respect for Jasmine. Otherwise, the heir of the Wade family would have had no interest in visiting the Moore family mansion. What made them deserving of his presence, anyway?

Jasmine was equally enraged. “Brother! How can you say such things? Just because you don’t believe in someone’s capabilities doesn’t give you the right to disrespect them!”

Reuben let out a derisive snort before responding, “Respect? I reserve that for true masters with genuine talent. Swindlers like him don’t deserve any respect from me!”

With that, Reuben gestured to the elderly man beside him, proudly announcing, “This is Anthony Simmons, a highly respected doctor from the South Region, along with his granddaughter.”

Charlie was momentarily taken aback as he observed the pair standing before him.

The elderly gentleman and the young woman indeed resembled a grandfather and granddaughter duo.

However, their attire set them apart from the average person. The old man, appearing to be in his sixties, wore a bamboo-colored robe and stylish black-framed spectacles. His long white beard gave him a wise appearance, and his eyes sparkled with intelligence.

The young woman, likely around eighteen or nineteen, donned a flowing cheongsam. Her short hair framed her face, and her bright eyes seemed to glimmer under the light. She had a radiant smile with perfectly white teeth and exuded an air of cold mystery.

Charlie couldn’t help but notice the young woman’s striking looks, especially since in Aurous Hill, few could rival the beauty of Claire.

In comparison to Claire, the young woman’s gaze was sharper, and she carried a hint of arrogance.

When Anthony noticed Charlie’s gaze, he nodded slightly, while the young woman ignored him entirely, maintaining her haughty demeanor.

Suddenly, Reuben turned to Jasmine and said, “Sister, this young man you’re calling a master looks like he’s barely in his twenties. He probably doesn’t even understand the concepts of yin and yang, let alone the five elements. Who gave him the nerve to call himself a master? If the public hears about this, they’ll laugh at the Moore family for rejecting real medical expertise in favor of superstition!”

Reuben’s words were a relentless assault on Charlie, leaving him confused as to why he was being portrayed as a fraud.

Then, Reuben clasped his hands and bowed slightly to the old man. “Dr. Simmons, I apologize for my sister’s ignorance. Please ignore her and proceed with the medical emergency at hand.”

Anthony, displaying humility, quickly replied, “Being young doesn’t automatically imply a lack of genuine talent. Mr. Moore, I urge you to reconsider your doubts about this young man.”

Reuben sighed, responding, “You may not understand my concerns, Dr. Simmons. My sister has been deceived a couple of times recently.”

Jasmine’s expression shifted instantly as she exclaimed, “Brother, what are you implying?”

Reuben shot back, “Did I say anything incorrect? I’ve heard that you were duped by a so-called Feng Shui expert from Hong Kong named Master Lennard. Is that true or not?”

“You…” Jasmine felt a wave of discomfort wash over her.

She had to admit that her encounter with Master Lennard was indeed a mistake. She never anticipated being conned by a fraud from Hong Kong. Thankfully, Charlie was there to prevent her from facing dire consequences.

However, Reuben was unaware of Charlie’s true abilities, which gave him the audacity to speak ill of him.

Reuben turned his attention back to Charlie. “Young man, I don’t know how you managed to fool Jasmine or what you’ve told her, but I won’t allow you to deceive the Moore family. Dr. Simmons comes from a lineage of distinguished doctors, while you’re just a young man who likely doesn’t know what he’s doing. I suggest you leave now before you get yourself into trouble!”

Jasmine’s face darkened, and she found it difficult to counter Reuben’s claims. After all, Charlie was indeed very young, making it hard for her to convince others of his expertise. In truth, she doubted she would have believed in Charlie’s skills had she not witnessed them firsthand. She feared that pushing back against Reuben could lead to a significant disturbance.

Despite the tension, Charlie remained unfazed. With a calm smile, he responded to Reuben, “Hahaha. No need to worry about me. I’ll stand aside and watch how Dr. Simmons saves lives with his healing hands.”
