Chapter 79

"Who are you? This is Mr. Smith's order. And what do you think you are doing?" Milo was determined to follow his superior's instructions and protect James.

So,at this moment. he was fiercely defending James.

"Are you in cahoots with this woman? Perfect, we couldn't find her accomplice. Guards, take them both!" Milo waved his hand, and security guards immediately rushed over.

Daniel's gaze was deep as he looked at James, his smile cold and mocking.

"James, you sure have some nerve. I'm standing right here. Do you dare to arrest me?"

"Daniel, that's not what I meant!"

James wouldn't dare take on such a charge and quickly denied it.

He turned his icy gaze to Milo, all traces of gentleness gone. "Are you blind? How dare you speak to Daniel like that?"

Because James had called out Daniel's name, everyone present was shocked.

"Is this the mysterious Mr. Smith? I can't believe I'm seeing him in person."

Someone couldn't help but whisper in astonishment.

Even though Milo had never met Daniel, he had heard of his reputation.

The mysterious, ruthless, and decisive Daniel was standing right in front

of him.

And he had just reprimanded Daniel.

Thinking of this, Milo's face turned pale, and he trembled all over. "Mr.Daniel Smith, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply you were in cahoots with this lady. I was just following orders from Mr. James Smith. They say ignorance is no excuse, and I realize my mistake now. Please don't hold it against me!"

James hadn't expected Milo to pin all the blame on him,and his face darkened.

"Shut up! You're just a lowly assistant. How dare you speak to me like that? You can forget about staying here any longer."

Daniel snorted coldly. "Your arrogance is growing. When did you learn to shirk responsibility? And who gave you the authority to come here and boss people around without knowing the situation?"

He even began to inch closer to James.

James was so intimidated by his presence that he couldIn't move.

"I'm the organizer, not you!"

James's face was extremely unpleasant, almost causing him to collapse.

Bianca could see that Daniel was protecting Emily.

She mnust have used Floyd to get close to Daniel and then badmouthed James.

"Mr. Smith, you misunderstood. James came here because he was worried about me. He thought he could help with the competition, and then he

discovered someone who shouldn't be here. He was just trying to uphold the rules of the competition."

Bianca stepped forward. suppressing her fear, and explained calmly.

James gave Bianca a grateful look.

Her words gave James the confidence he needed. "Daniel. I'm not here to show off. Emily broke the rules. She didn't register but somehow managed to get here."

"Today, besides the competition, there are many patients, and there's a free clinic. If she pretends to know what she's doing and makes a mistake,it could harm someone. That's why I'm so angry."

He was good at twisting the truth, making Emily seem worthless in front of everyone.

This was the same James who had promised to protect her for the rest of her life.

James immediately pressured Emily, "Didn't you just admit you don't have a competition slot? Now, in front of Daniel, say it! And if you lie,there's surveillance."

Emily smiled and admitted, "I don't have a competition slot, but so what?"

"Daniel, you heard her. She admitted..."

"Because I'm not a contestant; I'm a judge!"

"Impossible, Emily! You're lying. Mr. Smith won't protect a liar!" Bianca's first reaction was disbelief.

James naturally wouldn't believe it either.

Ever since he got closer to Bianca, he stopped trusting Emily.

"Emily. I've ignored your lies in the past, but you should have limits. This is a serious event, and you lie so casually. You'll face social death in this circle and never practice medicine again."

People around looked at Emily with suspicion.

Some supported Bianca and sneered.

But some believed in Emily's sincerity.

Everyone whispered, especially the contestants, worried that if Emily was telling the truth. it might affect their scores.

"Short-sighted!"

Daniel spoke calmly, but his voice was icy. "Emily's medical skills are exceptional. Having her as a judge is an honor for this competition."

This was a public endorsement for Emily.

Daniel personally endorsed her.

No one present dared to question her further. They looked at Emily with admiration and respect.

A judge so young, her skills and talent must be extraordinary.

The contestants, all passionate about medicine, naturally wanted to get to know such a talented person.

At this moment, the host reminded everyone that the competition was about to start, and the participants should take their places.

Emily took out her judge's badge from her bag and put it on.

Bianca's pupils contracted.

Emily did it on purpose.

Absolutely.

"Emily, you had the judge's badge all along. Why didn't you show it? You wanted to embarrass James, didn't you? Your intentions are too malicious.How can someone like you be a judge? How can people trust you?"

Bianca clenched her fists and spoke deliberately.

James's face was also very unpleasant.

If Daniel weren't here, he would have questioned her the same way, but he had to restrain himself to avoid Daniel's displeasure.

Fortunately, Bianca stepped forward to question her.

Emily glanced mockingly at James, who didn't dare to ask her directly.

She mouthed a word silently: Coward!

Then she smiled and said, "Whether I show it or not is my choice. I'm here as a judge, not to be interrogated by you. And do you really think that if I showed my badge, you would believe me?"

Emily's smile widened. "You would probably question its authenticity,accuse me of getting a fake badge through connections."

After speaking, Emily ignored them.

She turned to Daniel and smiled, "Mr. Smith, could we talk privately?"

Daniel smiled back, "Of course!"

He made a gentlemanly gesture, and they walked side by side towards the lounge.

James stared intently at their backs.

The gentle breeze lifted Emily's long hair. making her slender figure even more elegant. Standing next to Daniel, he felt for a moment that they were a perfect match.

No!

Emily was his fiancée, his woman.

Daniel couldn't possibly be genuinely interested in Emily.

James shook off his thoughts.

"James,James..."

Beside him, Bianca called out several times, pulling him back to reality. "What,what is it?"
