The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 568 - 609: This is an Illness, It Needs to be Treated
"Hey, you better apologize to me! Or else, I won’t let you off!"
If it weren’t for the fact that this woman was Adrian Desmond’s wife, a person he couldn’t afford to offend, he wouldn’t have cared that she was a woman; he would have already taught her a lesson for spreading such nonsense.
"While most men can’t accept hearing something like this, your kidney deficiency isn’t mild; it’s quite severe. The coloration of your ears is dark, with a greyish-black tinge; this is a standard sign of severe kidney qi depletion. There’s a faint blackish qi in the area under your eyes—also known as the ’lying silkworm’ in face reading, or the ’Palace of Children,’ which governs reproduction and offspring. A chronic dark greyish-black qi in this area is a manifestation of kidney qi deficiency, one of the main causes of which is excessive indulgence. Fortunately, you don’t have reticulations there yet. If reticulations were to appear, it would signify an extremely severe depletion of kidney qi, and at that point, it would be very difficult for your spouse to conceive."
"What nonsense are you spouting?!"
Dan Taylor, listening to her logical explanation, was somewhat convinced. He knew Adrian Desmond’s wife had studied medicine and had even treated Adrian’s gunshot wound in the past.
A refined-looking man sitting beside Dan Taylor asked, "Excuse me, are you a doctor?"
"I studied Modern Medicine, but my former roommate studied Traditional Medicine. Her family has a long lineage of practitioners in that field, so I learned some aspects of Traditional Medicine from her."
Seeing Sienna Johnson speaking with such certainty, Dan Taylor grew anxious. "Then, how do you think it should be treated? Is there any hope for me?"
"There’s hope! Just stop the excessive indulgence and focus on cultivating your health."
Dan Taylor lamented, "But what am I supposed to do? I just love beautiful women!"
"That’s an illness, and it needs to be treated!"
Everyone in the room burst out laughing. Sienna Johnson didn’t understand what was so funny. She had been quite serious in her diagnosis of Dan Taylor; he genuinely exhibited symptoms of kidney deficiency.
"Edward, it’s an illness, it needs treatment! HAHA..."
"All of you, go to hell!"
Outraged and humiliated, Dan Taylor kicked the man who had just teased him. However, since their hands and feet were all bound, their range of motion was limited.
"Why are you kicking me? I wasn’t the one who said you have a kidney deficiency. She said it. You should divorce those beautiful wives of yours soon. Beautiful women are lovely, but you also need to be alive to enjoy them..."
"You dare say that again?!"
A few of them, tied up like rice dumplings, wriggled on the ground like worms, creating a comical sight. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
She rose and walked over to Adrian Desmond’s side, just in time to hear him say to her, "Prescribe some medicine for him later. Let him take it. We’re friends, after all. If people found out I have an impotent friend, I couldn’t bear the shame."
The others chimed in, "Yes, yes, we couldn’t bear that shame either."
"I studied modern surgical medicine and only have a superficial understanding of Traditional Medicine. It would be better for him to see a doctor at a proper hospital."
Sienna Johnson didn’t take on the task. Treating kidney deficiency required long-term recuperation, and she didn’t have the time to spend on Dan Taylor.
"Edward, we realize our mistake. Please untie us now. Being tied up like this is incredibly uncomfortable."
Adrian Desmond said sternly, "Don’t play such pranks in the future. You were lucky today that I didn’t have a gun. If I had, at least one or two of you wouldn’t have made it out alive."
A shiver went down everyone’s spine.
Adrian Desmond had Brett Jacobs untie them. As soon as they were on their feet, they straightened their clothes, instantly resuming their suave demeanors.
Several of them greeted Sienna Johnson. Sienna only recognized Dan Taylor and Trevor Harrington; the other five men were strangers to her.
However, they all looked at Sienna Johnson with expressions full of inquiry and curiosity, as if she were some strange new species.
"Hello, I’m Mark, Adrian’s friend. I’ve heard so much about you, and it’s a pleasure to finally meet you."
The man named Mark, speaking in a rather formal and bookish tone, extended his hand. Sienna Johnson smiled, and just as she was about to take his outstretched hand, Adrian Desmond stopped her.
"Weren’t you inviting me for a drink? Let’s go, then?" Adrian Desmond took Sienna Johnson’s hand in his.
Mark saw them holding hands and sullenly retracted his own. It was just a handshake. Did Adrian have to be so possessive?
When Adrian Desmond and Sienna Johnson had been watching a movie, these men had received word that Adrian was back in Abyanabad. They had called to invite him out for drinks. However, Adrian only wanted to spend some quality time alone with Sienna and naturally wasn’t inclined to accompany these men, so he had declined.
Who knew these men would be so audacious as to ambush him? Luckily for them, he wasn’t armed; otherwise, he’d have shot them one by one, and they would have met their end right there.
"Sienna, would you like to join us?" Mark invited.
"You guys go ahead and drink; I think I’ll pass."
Sienna had no interest in a men’s gathering, especially one with men who each had multiple wives and concubines.
However, Adrian Desmond didn’t want to be separated from Sienna Johnson. "Come on," he said. "We can sit for a little while and then leave."
"Okay."
「At the A&K Club.」
This was the first time Sienna Johnson had visited; she didn’t know it was one of Adrian Desmond’s properties.
A&K was an all-encompassing recreational space. Its staff were sourced internationally and replaced periodically to ensure a consistently fresh and exciting experience. The club operated on a membership system: applicants had to provide proof of assets and be recommended by two existing members, each with at least a year’s standing. Members paid an annual fee according to their tier, and their status could be upgraded after accumulating a certain number of points.
This was how Adrian Desmond had established A&K as the top club in Abyanabad.
"Sixth Master!"
The Manager was quite surprised to see Adrian Desmond, knowing he had gone to Orienta and hadn’t returned for some time.
"How has business been recently?"
"Profits are up ten percentage points compared to last quarter..."
"Hmm." Adrian Desmond nodded without much comment.
The Manager personally led Adrian Desmond to the grand private room usually reserved exclusively for his use. Dan Taylor and his group were only permitted to use this opulent room, reminiscent of Louis XVI’s court, when Adrian Desmond himself was present.
The Manager knew that whenever Adrian Desmond’s friends visited, beautiful female companions were a must. However, today he had messed up. Beautiful women of various ethnicities were kneeling on the floor in the private room, offering their greetings.
Dan Taylor ogled the beautiful women, his eyes practically glued to them. He pulled a blonde beauty into his arms and kissed her. "Sweetheart, you still remember me, right?"
"Edward, you have that kidney deficiency, take it easy!"
Someone else chimed in, "It’s an illness, it needs treatment!"
"All of you, get lost!"
Adrian Desmond’s expression darkened. He had brought Sienna Johnson here, and now these women were also here to entertain. Wouldn’t this make people misunderstand that Sienna was the same as these vulgar women?
The Manager keenly sensed Adrian Desmond’s displeasure and cautiously asked, "Sixth Master, is there something you’re not satisfied with?"
"Tell these people to get the hell out!" Adrian Desmond commanded.
"Why?"
