Under Sandra’s serious gaze, a glimmer of light flashed in Jefferson’s eyes.
She truly resembled that person.
His tone softened considerably.
“Little girl, I’m not as free as you think.”
Sandra frowned. “Don’t call me little girl.”
Before going out, she had been called Ms. Hill or Mrs. Cooper, which she had thought was quite respectable.
Now, she felt as though she was being scolded by her master.
She wasn’t pleased.
Jefferson smiled.
“Your temper…”
Her temper was much like that person’s.
But he didn’t voice it aloud.
Sandra looked at him, her frown deepening. “Something’s not right about you.”
Jefferson asked calmly, “What? Am I unstable?”
“No.”
Sandra became a little irritated. “Don’t try to see someone else in me.”
Jefferson’s expression shifted slightly.
He had underestimated Sandra.
“Alright, take your medication, and you’ll get better.” With that, Sandra walked out.
Adam and Wesley were waiting outside.
Sandra had been inside for three to four hours, and they were both very worried.
Adam had even broken out in a cold sweat.

When he saw her, he felt a wave of relief, as though he had come back to life.
“How is he?”
Sandra rubbed her temples. “You’ll see.”
Upon hearing this, Adam rushed inside excitedly.
“General, are you really okay now?”
Then, Adam’s surprised voice came from inside.
Sandra rubbed her ears and looked at Wesley, who was in the wheelchair. “Let’s go.”
Wesley didn’t intend to leave immediately, but he raised his hand to stop her.
Sandra frowned. Was something wrong?
Soon, a dozen bodyguards appeared from around the corner.
These bodyguards exuded a murderous aura, and they were staring at them.
They didn’t seem to be Adam’s subordinates.
Sandra sighed. “It’s already annoying being brought here, and now I have to clean up their mess.”
Wesley looked at Joey and asked, “Can you handle these people?”
Joey counted them, estimating their combat power.
“Mr. Cooper, could things here be damaged?”
Sandra chuckled. “Go ahead. Mr. Deleon will be responsible.”
Joey immediately cheered up. “Okay!”
He rushed forward and began fighting with the bodyguards. Joey managed to stop all of them from approaching Wesley alone.
He was indeed skilled.
Sandra raised an eyebrow.
“Who’s Joey’s master?”
Wesley’s voice was quiet, but it cut through the sounds of the fight and reached her ears.
“He taught himself.”
Sandra was speechless.
So, Joey was a genius?
Joey quickly knocked down all of the bodyguards.
Sandra walked over. “I overestimated them.”
Joey cautiously protected her, keeping a close eye on the bodyguards. “Who sent you?”
Sandra bent down and looked at one of the bodyguards, sensing the resentment in his eyes.
She immediately took out a silver needle and inserted it directly into his neck.
The man collapsed to the ground, numb from the neck down.
He realized he couldn’t move.
Furious, he cursed at Sandra in a foreign language.
Sandra narrowed her eyes. “You’re foreign?”
The man yelled in English, “Kill me!”
Sandra smiled. “Joey, search them.”
Joey immediately sprang into action.
Soon, a book was found on one of the men.
Joey was puzzled.
Why would they steal such an old ancient book that almost crumbled when touched?
Were they really thieves?
“Mrs. Cooper, take a look at this.”
Sandra’s attention shifted to the book.
It was the ancient medical book Magical Herbs.
Anyone who studied medicine had heard of this book. It contained many prescriptions and medicinal materials that weren’t available on the market.
In short, it was like an encyclopedia of medicine.
Sandra first heard of this book the day she began learning medicine from her master.
But…
This book should belong to her master.
Why was it in the hands of these people?
“Have you been to Reyder Mountain?”
That was where Sandra and her master had secluded themselves.
Joey gave the bodyguard a hard kick. “Mrs. Cooper is asking you!”
The man sneered. “Do whatever you want.” He said this in English.
Sandra drew a conclusion.
“Seems like you’ve been in Helwanis for a long time.”
“Joey, take him away and interrogate him. Find out why they wanted this book.”
Joey nodded and dragged the leader out the door.
The remaining bodyguards were controlled by the villa’s security and dragged outside.
Just then, Adam came out of the room.
He had heard the commotion outside, but Jefferson wanted to see how capable Sandra was and stopped him from coming out to help.
So, when Adam emerged, he wore an apologetic smile. “Sorry, Mr. Cooper, Mrs. Cooper, I was a little busy.”
He probably realized his apology sounded insincere.
He cleared his throat to break the awkward silence.
“Those people were deliberately let in.”
Sandra sneered. “Thanks.”
Adam was dumbfounded.
Sandra shook the book in her hand. “See? I can make use of this.”
Adam couldn’t see the book clearly, so he didn’t pay much attention. “Up to you.”
Sandra nodded. “Send me the transfer contract as soon as possible.”
Adam was curious. “Mrs. Cooper, what do you plan to do with the piece of land?”
Sandra asked, “Will you provide technical support, no matter what I do?”
The land was right behind the hospital, and Adam was eager to work with Sandra.
“Sure, I’ll be there whenever you need me. I can allocate resources from my hospital for you.”
If Adam had known what would happen afterward, he would have been very grateful to himself in that moment.
“Good.” Sandra smiled. “Don’t bother me with the patient unless he’s dying.”
