Chapter 53
In the outer hall of the manor, people were still trickling in. Annelise was among them, but her outfit clearly didn’t fit
A white shirt, jeans, and a burgundy baseball cap-she looked like a student who hadn’t graduated yet.
The security guard at the door put out a hand to stop her, speaking politely, “And you are?”
Before Annelise could speak, a cold sneer came from the side, “A holistic medicine fraud dares to crash the Winthrop family’s party.”
It was Benjamin. He was helping Rosalie over, followed by the mother and daughter from the Whitman family…
Juliette was clearly avoiding Annelise’s gaze, not wanting anyone to know they had personal connections.
Gloria, on the other hand, looked like she wanted to stare holes through Annelise. That damn girl just wouldn’t go away!
Annelise raised an eyebrow, her tone slow and playful, “Well, well, familiar faces.”
“Who’s familiar with you?”
Benjamin scoffed, “Don’t you know where you are?
Is this a place a poor wretch like you can just walk into?”
He’d been wanting to teach this girl a lesson for a while, but no one he asked had ever heard of her.
Now that he’d run into her here, he was definitely going to make her pay!
“Where’s the security for this place? Get her out of here!”
Benjamin’s face was full of arrogance.
Rosalie put on a show of stopping him, shaking her head in disapproval, “Benjamin, how can you bully a junior like that?”
“Teacher, you don’t know what she’s like. All she knows is sweet talk!”
Benjamin was furious. “I don’t know what kind of sorcery she used before, but she made me kneel for so long!”
Hearing this, Annelise gave a slow, deliberate smile. “Oh?
Your teacher still doesn’t know you were hit with a nerve-strike technique back then?”
Hitting pressure points?

The onlookers gasped.
They looked at each other. Does hitting pressure points really exist in this world?
“Keep bragging.”
Benjamin sneered, “You think this is ancient times? Hitting pressure points?
If hitting pressure points were real, wouldn’t my teacher know how to do it?
That’s ridiculous!”

Annelise, chewing on a fruit candy, her eyes dark and clear, said, “So Director Kendrick doesn’t even know how to heal people by hitting pressure points?
It seems this highly-praised medical skill of hers isn’t all that great. Just misleading people.”
“What did you say!”
Benjamin was enraged. “Say that again!”
Rosalie suppressed her anger. “Benjamin, shut up!”
Did this idiot want the whole world to know she couldn’t heal people by hitting pressure points?
“But Teacher, she…” Benjamin protested.
Rosalie took a deep breath, looked coldly at Annelise, her posture arrogant. “You’re Isabella Whitman’s protégé. I won’t stoop to your level, but let me give you a piece of advice. A healer should have a benevolent heart. It’s not good for a young girl like you to be so arrogant.”
The moment the name Isabella was spoken.
The expressions on the faces of those present all changed.
“Isabella? The one who killed a patient with the wrong herbal remedy?”
