Chapter 16
Korah and Wade were in shock and disbelief when they saw Cyrus standing under the spotlight on the
stage beside Zedekiah.
Lufian’s eyes were wide as he watched Cyrus walk across the stage. He could not believe what he was
seeing
Zedekiah was important, and it was practically impossible to meet someone like him, let alone be able to
stand beside him.
Cyrus felt resigned. He truly did not like to be in the spotlight. Mr. Frank once told him that keeping a low
profile was the kingly way. If Zedekiah had not helped Gardner Corporation with its wish to have the
International Prosperous Project, he would never have agreed to this. “Cyrus, is there something you
want to say?” Zedekiah asked with a smile.
Cyrus shook his head, looking uninterested.
Zedekiah was a wise man. He naturally noticed Cyrus’ demeanor and laughed cheerfully.” Since Cyrus

serving delicious food for the audience to enjoy. Everyone thought Zedekiah would continue his speech.
They laughed a little as they thought to themselves, ‘This young man is not getting much attention. Mr.
Gardner probably only mentioned him once for Truman’s sake.’
They naturally knew that Zedekiah came to Fliton City to get Truman to treat him. This young man was
probably Truman’s successor or his student. ‘It’s natural that Truman is paving this young man’s path
using Mr. Gardner’s fame.’ Cyrus excused himself and got off the stage. When he found Truman, he said
to him in a low voice, “Mr. Truman, just say that you saved Mr. Penn and it has nothing to do with me. Try
not to get me involved in this. “I won’t be staying in Fliton City for too long. I’ll be heading back to my
village in three months or at most six months’ time. My master likes peace and quiet. If many people find
out and come to me for treatment, my master will definitely yell at me.”
Truman was shocked. ‘Cyrus’ master… must be a great master that lives in seclusion!’
“You’re only staying here temporarily…? Aren’t you marrying Mr. Gardner’s granddaughter?” Truman
could not help but ask. “I’m not.” Cyrus shook his head. ‘Please don’t say that!’ Thump thump! Thump
thump! Truman could not help but raise his eyebrows as his heartbeat increased. ‘I was there when
Mr. Gardner told Korah and Cyrus to register their marriage. ‘I thought they already tied the knot. Turns
out… they haven’t?! “This is good news!
“Of course, no worries! I’ll handle Mr. Penn.” Truman tried to suppress his happiness as he replied with a
stern face. Cyrus smiled. “Thank you, Dr. Cohen!” At this moment, Alda came over, blushing, and looked
at Cyrus with hope. “Cyrus, I heard that there is a beautiful sea of lights in this manor. Will you come with
me to see it?” Cyrus thought about it and agreed, since he was free.
“Sure.”
Truman felt happy when he saw how close the two of them were becoming.
“You two go ahead. I’ll go and find Mr. Penn.”
Alda said playfully, “Grandpa, bye-bye!” After they went off, Truman lamented, “Girls really just forget
their own families when they meet someone they love…”.
He got ready and was about to look for Redmond in the private room. However, when he was about to
leave, someone behind him called out his name.

Truman was slightly stunned. He turned to see who it was.
‘Huh? Isn’t that the Gardner family?’
Lufian ran to Truman. He panted a lîttle as he looked around before asking hurriedly,” Where’s Cyrus?”
Truman thought for a moment and said, “He has something to do, so he left first.”
Korah asked, “Did you bring Cyrus here?” Truman thought to himself, ‘It looks like Lufian and the rest of
the family don’t seem to know that Cyrus had helped Gardner Corporation.
‘Should I tell them?’
Truman decided not to tell them!
There was no other reason for it. He wanted Alda and Cyrus to be together. Since Korah was not married
to Cyrus, he must do everything it took to make sure that Cyrus did not become a part of the Gardner
family.
“Well, Cyrus helped me when Mr. Penn came for treatment. So, I introduced him to Mr. Penn.”
‘I see…’
Wade looked at Korah as he let out a sigh of relief.
