Kate’s face fell. She looked coldly at Peony. “Didn’t you say that Clarence doesn’t know anything about medicine? If he doesn’t know anything, how did he know about my father’s condition? Dr. Lorenz and his team produced their diagnosis with precise analyses and tests, but how did Clarence know?”

If the patient had not been her father, Kate would have brushed it off as Clarence simply already knowing about her father’s condition.

However, Kate knew that even she had not previously been completely sure of her father’s condition.

Had Clarence been able to read her father’s condition with just one look at him?

Kate felt like that had to be the only possibility.

Roger and the gang were all looking at Peony now.

Peony was very nervous, and she did not know what to do with her hands. When had she ever been stared at by a big shot like this? She was stammering, unable to form a complete sentence.

“I… I…”

When Miranda saw Peony struggling, she took a step forward. “Clarence knows some medicine.”

“Some?”

Kate frowned. “Who are you to say that?”

Miranda was already agitated, so when she heard Kate questioning her like that, she exploded. “Who am I? I’m his ex-wife, and I’ve lived under the same roof as him for three years! We’ve been together for the past three years and we’ve spent almost every second of that time together! Clarence has been like my shadow for the past three years.

“No one in this world knows him better than I do.”

Miranda glared at Kate. “Is that enough?”

Kate was stumped. She subconsciously asked aloud, “If he’s such a great doctor, why did you divorce him?”

Kate continued, “Does Clarence truly know medicine?”

Miranda stayed silent for a while. “I don’t know. Perhaps.”

“Aren’t you the person who knows him best? How can you not know that?” Kate frowned and mocked, “It seems like you’re not a very good ex-wife. You don’t even know if your ex-husband knows medicine.”

“You…”

Miranda was speechless.

Kate was right. She had said she was the person who knew Clarence the most, but did she really know him?

In Miranda’s mind, Clarence was still that househusband who did not know anything, and could only stay home to cook and clean.

As she thought about it more, she realized that that had been her first impression of Clarence.

It had never changed over the years.

Clarence’s image had always been fixed in her mind.

That was why Miranda never believed Clarence when he did all the astonishing things he did. That was why their misunderstandings had grown more common and more serious.

Peony was not happy. “Miss Reed, you’re wrong. Clarence didn’t do anything remarkable when he was staying with us over the past three years. Everyone knows that he’s just a good-for-nothing piece of trash who depends on women.

“How can trash like that know medicine? Miranda was blinded by him, so that’s why they decided to get a divorce. You don’t know anything about my family’s private affairs, so please don’t make assumptions.”

Peony was genuinely reluctant to admit that Clarence was not a good-for-nothing piece of trash and that he was really a doctor who knew medicine.

She did not want to do it!

What for?

He had just been trash, but suddenly, he had gained this exceptional medical skill. Anyone would struggle to believe in such a drastic transformation.

Kate smiled. “I finally know why Clarence wanted to divorce your daughter. I would want a divorce too if I had a mother-in-law like you!”

“Miss Reed, what do you mean? What’s wrong with me?” Peony’s face was red with anger. She raised her voice, and her voice became shrill.

“What do I mean?”

Kate shook her head in amusement. “Clarence was your son-in-law, yet you didn’t believe him. Are you only happy if your son-in-law is a good-for-nothing piece of trash? Does that make you feel proud? Perhaps you feel superior when you step on Clarence? I’ve seen a lot of people like you. You’re not good at anything, so you don’t allow other people to be good at things too.

“Logically speaking, the Murphys should be more knowledgeable than me when it comes to whether Clarence knows medicine. However, what’s going on now? You Murphys refuse to believe Clarence, while an outsider like me believes him.

“Who wouldn’t want to leave a family like that?

“Clarence endured you for three years, so you should feel content. That’s true love! If it had been me, I wouldn’t have been able to endure it for even a single day.”

Miranda’s mouth fell open, and her body trembled as she listened to what Kate had said.

This observer seemed to understand Miranda’s affairs very well. Before this, Miranda had not understood why Clarence had agreed to the divorce.

Now, putting herself in Kate’s shoes, Miranda came to a realization after Kate’s speech.

“Y-you’re too much! The Reeds are a respectable and prestigious family, so how can you say something so slanderous in front of them?” Peony flew into a fit of rage. Kate’s words were like knives stabbing her heart.

Kate’s face was cold as she summoned someone. “Walk them out.”

The Reeds’ disciples walked over, blocking Peony and Miranda. Then, they chased the two of them out of the villa.

Peony was agitated. She walked out of the villa while silently cursing. “What kind of people are they? People like them aren’t worthy of living in such a huge villa. How crazy!”

Miranda was exhausted, both mentally and physically. “Mom, can you stop talking? I told you that we shouldn’t come here, yet you insisted on coming. And now, see, they’ve kicked us out.”

Peony was livid. “How was I supposed to know that the daughter was so uncultured? If she believes that Clarence knows medicine, let her be. If they had really asked Clarence to treat Mr. Reed’s condition, I would have liked to see how remorseful they’d become after realizing that he had bitten off more than he could chew.

“Anyway, if that rascal Clarence can’t fix Roger, he will be doomed to eternal damnation. Does he think that the Reeds are easy to deal with?”

Peony kept on cursing.

She even got Clarence involved, scolding him with every single curse she knew.

“Mom, can’t you be more positive? Do you really want Clarence to fall on his face so badly?” Miranda frowned. She felt like Peony was being very vile.

Peony glared at Miranda. “Are you blaming me? Are you even my daughter? You divorced Clarence, so why are you still siding with that outsider?”

Peony was like a shrew as she dragged Miranda to the foot of the hill.

Miranda wanted to cry but no tears came. “Mom, am I siding with him? Even if I don’t know him and we had never been husband and wife, you can’t curse him out like this.”

“I’ll curse whoever I want to! You’re my daughter, so you have to side with me!” Peony was being very unreasonable.

She lifted her head vigilantly and stared straight at Miranda. “You keep siding with him. Are you thinking about marrying him again?”

Miranda was stunned.

Peony had a rude and unyielding expression on her face. “Don’t even think about it unless I’ve already kicked the bucket. If you do, Clarence will never be allowed to step foot in our house again!”

Miranda chuckled bitterly. “Mom, don’t you feel even the slightest bit of remorse for treating Clarence this way?”

Miranda herself felt a little regretful now.

Peony scoffed. “Remorse? I’ve felt remorseful about many things during this lifetime, but I will never feel remorse for that creature.. You want me to feel remorseful about how I’ve treated Clarence? If that day ever comes, I’m willing to kneel in front of him and beg for forgiveness.”
