Kingsley chuckled. “Let me guess-you were about to say ‘terrifying’. right?”
Lauren let out a cold laugh. “Now that Dr. Baldwin has pointed it out, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s exactly what’s happening. After all, my dear mother has a reputation. People call her the Iron Lady for a reason-whether it’s her own family or complete strangers, she’s ruthless either way.”
Kingsley shrugged. “Whatever Mrs. Rhodes has planned, it’s none of our business. Mr. Chapman, gather your team. We’ve got a few busy days ahead of us.”
Marcus straightened up, energized. “A little hard work is nothing if we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. With you leading us, Mr. Baldwin, we’re not afraid of anything.”
Glorious Pharmaceuticals was set to ship its first batch of products in just two days, and Kingsley needed to make sure everything was ready.
This was where Lauren truly shined. Everything Kingsley thought of-she had already planned ahead.
Moreover, everything he had not considered-she had covered those details too, down to the smallest thing.
Meanwhile, in another office, Tiana sat in her chair, staring coldly at Howard as he asked, “Do you realize what you did wrong?”
Howard hesitated. “Aunt Tiana, I-I know I messed up, but-“
Tiana’s sharp gaze cut through him. “How many times have I told you? This is a corporation. You address me as Mrs. Rhodes, not Aunt Tiana. Or do you think being my nephew makes you superior to ever else?” .
Howard shuddered. “No! I’d never think that. You brought me here to learn and prove myself, not to take shortcuts!”
Tiana’s expression softened slightly, but her tone remained icy. “I don’t want to see something like today happen again. Remember this if you screw up again, I won’t protect you.”
Howard hesitated before blurting out, “Mrs. Rhodes, but Kingsley is completely out of control! He doesn’t even respect you! Are you really going to let him get away with this?”
Tiana let out a sharp, mocking laugh. “You idiot. What made you think I fear him? I’ll tell you right now-I don’t fear Kingsley. I’m just backed into a corner. And I’m only in this situation because of you!”
BUMS
Howard’s eyes widened. “Mrs. Rhodes, you control the entire corporation! How could someone like Kingsley possibly leave you with no options? You could get rid of him with a single order!”
Tiana let out a cold scoff. “What do you know? Kingsley’s strength is far beyond what you and the rest of your generation can even comprehend! If I hadn’t stepped in today, he wouldn’t have beaten you half to death.”
Howard clenched his teeth. “Fine, maybe I can’t beat him-but our Lambert family isn’t afraid of him.”
Tiana sneered. “Still clinging to your family name for protection? Pathetic. Let me ask you this-when Kingsley made his move, who was backing him? Did he have anyone supporting him? He walked in alone, and yet he crushed you-and that useless fool Michael-without breaking a sweat.”
She shook her head with disappointment. “Watching you weaklings struggle is honestly embarrassing for the Lambert family. But Marvin managed to cultivate someone this powerful. That’s something I can’t afford to ignore.”
For once, there was a rare trace of exhaustion in Tiana’s voice, as if the weight of the situation was finally getting to her. Howard was too stunned to even be upset at her insults.
He had never seen Tiana wary of anyone before. Yet, Kingsley actually made her hesitate.
That was completely beyond his comprehension. To him, dealing with Kingsley should have been as simple as snapping her fingers.
Tiana shot him a sharp look. “Listen carefully. From now on, do not listen to anything Michael tells you. You’re a member of the Lambert family, and I refuse to let you become cannon fodder in the Rhodes family’s internal power struggles.”
Howard hesitated before muttering, “But I thought Michael was the one you were supporting. Helping him means helping you, doesn’t it?”
Tiana let out a mocking laugh. “That idiot? Do you actually think he’s worthy of my support? If it weren’t for the situation with the family’s business in Blumedale, I would’ve made sure Michael disappeared from Jayrodale without a trace long ago.”
Howard fell completely silent, too afraid to say another word. For the first time, he realized he had no idea which side Tiana was actually on.
Tiana studied him for a moment, then said coolly, “Go home. And forget everything you just heard. One more thing-stay far away from Kingsley. Don’t provoke him, don’t cross him, and don’t think for a second that you can challenge him.
“I used to think he was just another pawn-one that was being manipulated. But I severely underestimated him. A pawn with a mind of its own… one that knows how to fight back can be dangerous.”
Howard hesitated. “Mrs. Rhodes, are you saying that even you can’t suppress him?”
Tiana’s lips curled into a smirk. “Suppressing him would be nothing more than a flick of my wrist. But I’m not after him. The real battle is against the one behind him-Marvin.”
Evening came, marking the end of the workday. Marcus had already taken his team out to handle the logistics for the upcoming product launch.
Lauren stayed behind at Rhodes Corporation, managing the company’s internal operations. She said, “Dr. Baldwin, you should head home first. I’ll be here late-I’ll probably be working past midnight!”
Whenever she worked, Lauren’s focus was unwavering. She flashed Kingsley a quick smile before immediately turning her attention back to her computer.
Kingsley chuckled. “Alright, do what you need to. But don’t stay too late. I’m heading over to Moonlit Apothecary to check on things.”
Lauren beamed. “Okay! Just don’t stay out too long either-get some rest when you’re done. Love you!”
Kingsley smirked before heading out, driving straight to Moonlit
Apothecary: When he arrived, he was surprised to see that even though it was already past 7 p.m., the waiting area was still packed with patients.
Cedric was running around, completely swamped. Yet, despite the chaos, his face was full of joy. Francesca had even come by after her shift to help out, and Moonlit Apothecary’s appointment list was completely booked up.
“Doctor, thank you so much! My back pain is so much better!”
“Dr. Aicker, you’re such a kind person. You work all day, and then you still come here in the evenings to help us seniors. You must be an angel sent from above!”
The elderly patients continued showering Cedric and Francesca with gratitude. In Jayrodale, the Aicker family had long earned a stellar reputation in the medical field.
When Nyla spotted Kingsley walking in, her eyes lit up with excitement. “Dr. Baldwin -no, Kingsley, you’re here!”
Under Kingsley’s firm insistence, she had finally stopped addressing him so formally.
Kingsley smiled. “Yeah, I’m here. How’s your health? Are you feeling better?”
Nyla grinned. “Way better! I don’t feel any pain at all anymore. The supplements you prescribed worked like a miracle!”
Kingsley nodded. “Go grab me a chair. I’ll take over for Mr. Aicker so he can rest for a bit.”
Nyla waved her hands frantically. “No way! Kingsley, you’ve already been working all day. You should be the one resting. I’ll tell Mr. Aicker to take a break instead!”
Kingsley shook his head. “I’m fine. Just make sure Mr. Aicker gets some rest-I’ll handle the remaining patients so we can close up soon.”
Seeing that Kingsley would not take no for an answer, Nyla reluctantly agreed. “Alright then!”
She quickly brought over a chair and let Kingsley sit down.
Kingsley glanced at the 20 or so patients still waiting and smiled. “Alright, everyone, gather around. I’m Dr. Kingsley Baldwin, the head of Moonlit Apothecary.”
A wave of surprise spread through the crowd. They had not expected to meet the owner of Moonlit Apothecary in person. However, as soon as they saw how young Kingsley was, their expressions turned hesitant. Some even exchanged doubtful glances, wondering if he was actually skilled enough to treat them.
Kingsley could easily read their concerns. It was common knowledge that older doctors, with their years of experience, were naturally more trusted. Meanwhile, young doctors were often seen as inexperienced, still needing time to refine their skills.
In contrast, seasoned physicians-especially those who were bald or had an aged, scholarly air-were automatically perceived as being more knowledgeable and capable.
To some extent, this assumption was not entirely wrong. Older doctors had sharper instincts and more experience, which made them highly efficient at diagnosing and treating patients.
Nonetheless, Kingsley was not just any young doctor. Anyone who underestimated him would only end up embarrassing themselves.
Once the first patient stepped forward, the others quickly followed. Before long, Kingsley had already treated four or five people, prescribing medicine as needed.
For those who did not need medication, he avoided it altogether. After all, medicine meant spending money.
These days, many patients developed an instinctive distrust toward prescriptions. They were tired of getting handed long lists of expensive medications-hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars worth-only to end up with a bag full of pills to take for weeks on end.
Most of the time, their wallets were emptied, yet their conditions barely improved.
Meanwhile, Kingsley relied on acupuncture, therapeutic massage, and other holistic treatments to relieve joint pain, reduce inflammation, and ease common ailments among the elderly.
His methods were so effective that his patients quickly went from skeptical to astonished. Soon, every gaze directed at Kingsley was filled with gratitude and admiration instead of doubt.
An hour later, Kingsley had seen all 20 remaining patients and provided them with tailored treatment plans.
His speed and accuracy left Cedric and Francesca completely speechless.
An elderly woman, leaning on her cane, left Moonlit Apothecary with a big smile. Before stepping out, she turned back and praised Kingsley enthusiastically, “Dr. Baldwin, thank you so much. Your medical center truly lives up to its reputation!”
Francesca, on the other hand, pouted. “Kingsley, you totally stole Grandpa’s spotlight!”
Kingsley looked completely innocent as he said, “It’s not like I wanted this to happen! I just wanted to make things easier for Mr. Aicker so he wouldn’t have to work so hard!”
Francesca let out a huff, flashing her sharp little canine teeth as she smirked. “At this rate, the people of Jayrodale are going to think you’re the only doctor around! They’ll forget that my grandfather is Cedric Aicker!”
Cedric scoffed, giving her a sharp look. “What nonsense are you spouting? Do you really think I care about fame and status? Dr. Baldwin’s medical skills are far beyond mine. If patients trust him more, that’s because he earned it fair and square.”
Francesca secretly stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes at Kingsley. She was just talking big-deep down, she was actually proud of him.
Kingsley chuckled. “Mr. Aicker, Fran, come sit down. There’s something I want to discuss with the Aicker family.”
Then, he turned to Nyla and said, “Nyla, could you bring us some tea?”
Nyla grinned. “Got it! You guys talk, I’ll go make some tea!”
Cedric and Francesca sat down, both looking at Kingsley with curiosity.
“Kingsley, are you thinking about some kind of business deal with the Aicker family?” Francesca asked, trying to guess his intentions.
Kingsley nodded with a smile. “Sharp as ever, Fran! You got it!”
Cedric let out an awkward cough, looking a little uncomfortable. “Dr. Baldwin, don’t tell me you’re about to make the Aicker family rich again? If it’s another golden opportunity, then I’ll shamelessly grab it! I’d do anything to set aside a nice wedding gift for Fran!”
Francesca snorted, shooting him a teasing glare. “Ha! Yeah, right! Just admit it, Grandpa-you just want the money for yourself! Don’t use my wedding gift as an excuse!”
Cedric’s face turned red from embarrassment as he huffed, “Nonsense! At my age, money means nothing to me! I’m only doing this for you! Everything I earn will be yours one day, anyway!”
Francesca crossed her arms and huffed, though her cheeks were still a little pink as she stole a glance at Kingsley.

Kingsley had grown even more impressive lately. This was not the first time he had brought wealth to the Aicker family, and she could not shake the feeling that she owed him too much. She did not like feeling as though she was beneath him.
Kingsley leaned forward. “Here’s the deal-I’ve developed two groundbreaking medications. Glorious Pharmaceuticals is set to produce them, and they’ll be hitting the market soon.
“Originally, I designed these for Rhodes Corporation’s Pharmaceutical Division, but I don’t fully trust them. So I want to distribute some of the supply through your family’s network as well.”
Cedric’s expression shifted as he took a sharp breath. “Dr. Baldwin, you actually developed miracle drugs? Could I take a look at the formulas?”
Kingsley did not hesitate. He smiled and handed over the documents, not intending to hide anything.
Curious, Francesca leaned in to read as well. “A Vitality Pill… and a Titan Essence Pill. One strengthens the body’s energy and boosts overall health…”
Her eyes suddenly widened, and her face turned red. “Wait… this Titan Essence Pill is for… male enhancement? Kingsley, what the hell? Why did you even create something like this?”
Kingsley chuckled. “The Titan Essence Pill isn’t just about that. Keep reading.”
