A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 845
Out of curiosity, Arielle asked, “Can an outsider join the Mills’ heir selection?”
A conflicted look crossed Cornelius’ face. “In the past, such a thing would be implausible. However, there hasn’t
been an ancient Chanaean doctor in our family after my siblings and I were born. In my father’s eyes, it is much
more crucial to maintain the prestige of ancient Chanaean medicine. In the future, the Mills wouldn’t be the only
ones suffering. Ancient Chanaean medicine will fade into obscurity. Right now, most people would prefer to seek out
modern medicine instead of traditional Chanaean medicine.”
“If an outsider is allowed to compete for this position, the family’s secrets will be passed to that person too. Most
traditional Chanaean medicine has a strong emphasis on secrecy when it comes to prescriptions. Is your father
really willing to hand it over to an outsider?” Arielle asked.
Cornelius heaved out a heavy sigh. “If given a choice, no one would be willing to hand out their family’s secret
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtprescriptions. But true to my father’s words, my siblings and I are unworthy to be his heir. It is humiliating to admit
it. Although I’m the eldest in my family, I’ve picked up traditional Chanaean medicine from my father from the
moment I could read. Yet, I lack the talents needed to excel. Even if my father doesn’t say it aloud, I know that I am
unfit to be the next head of the Mills family. I can’t improve our family’s medical skills.”
Once again, Cornelius’ humility impressed Arielle.
It looks like Queenie is the black sheep of her family.
Coincidentally, Cornelius and his father shared identical values with the Wilhelms.
Similarly, the Wilhelms would prefer to help people with their skills than keep them to themselves. It was far more
important to offer their assistance than to retain information selfishly.
Queenie appeared in Arielle’s mind. “Isn’t there someone named Queenie in your family? She is a skilled doctor,
isn’t she?”
Although Arielle did not get along with Queenie, she had to admit that the latter was a skilled and talented doctor.
“Oh? You are talking about my younger sister. She’s indeed much more talented than me. However.” Cornelius
paused before he continued, “My father thinks that it is important for a doctor to be kind hearted and selfless.
Queenie has yet to achieve those values.”
“What do you mean?” Arielle cocked an eyebrow.
Cornelius sighed again.
“For example, Queenie refused to perform Jennie’s heart surgery until I paid for it in secret.” Cornelius’ voice was
tinged with disappointment.
“I see.”
Cornelius looked at her with a hopeful gaze. “Ms. Moore, are you willing to partake in the Mills’ heir selection? I think
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou fit all of the requirements perfectly.”
Although Arielle mulled over his proposal, she chose to reject Cornelius’ proposal. “Though it is a generous offer, I’ll
have to pass on it. I don’t want to involve myself with the Mills.”
“Did you get into a conflict with one of my family members?” Cornelius asked in bewilderment.
“It’s much more complicated than a conflict.”
I’m sure any conflict can be resolved in the blink of an eye! If you win the selection, my father will hand you all of
our secrets. Think about it. All sorts of techniques, antidotes, and”
“Okay,” Arielle said out of the blue.
Cornelius was too caught up in his rambling to notice her reply.
“Please reconsider. The Mills are a-” Cornelius finally realized that Arielle had agreed. “Wait a minute, what did you
say? Did you just agree to join?”
Arielle grinned. “You were the one who said it yourself. Any conflict that I have can be resolved. Hence, I agreed.”
For the sake of disguising her identity, Arielle agreed to Cornelius’ request.
