Their Mistake, Her Rise - Chapter 174: Chapter 174

Amy Ludwig from the Ludwig family was suffering from an extremely rare illness, and lately her condition had only gotten worse. That's why she never met with anyone from outside.
Joseph had always been a strong and domineering man, but when it came to his wife, she was his one and only weakness.
That's why he set up this wager—because this so-called miracle doctor, Yancy Lewind, was famous for his incredible skills, able to bring people back from the brink of death.
But in the end, this person was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing without a trace, only treating those he considered destined. Even if one offered a fortune internationally, one still couldn't find him.
Joseph gave Zoe this challenge partly to make things so difficult that she'd back down on her own, and partly because he truly wanted to find this miracle doctor to save his wife.
He was also pushing Shawn to marry Sophia from the White family simply because Sophia seemed to have a better shot at tracking down the miracle doctor.
All Shawn's uncles knew about this. When they heard Joseph's plan, they could barely hold back from clapping in approval.
But they managed to keep their cool, looking at Shawn and Zoe.
"Shawn, you heard your grandpa. As long as this woman agrees and does her best to find the miracle doctor, we'll welcome her into the Ludwig family."
"That's right."
"But if she can't do it, then don't blame us for being ruthless."
Everyone here had heard of the legendary miracle doctor, Yancy Lewind. His medical skills were unmatched, but he was also famously impossible to find.
Everyone knew that Joseph had thrown out an impossible challenge for Zoe, just to make things difficult for her. All eyes were glued to Zoe, waiting to see if she'd actually take the bait.
Shawn reached out and grabbed Zoe's hand, his voice cold. "I've said it before. My marriage is none of your business. I don't need your approval."
He couldn't care less about the Ludwig family. The only person he cared about was her.
But Zoe just lifted her gaze, calm and collected, and agreed to the Ludwig family's unreasonable demand. "Alright."
Joseph hadn't expected Zoe to agree so quickly. He was genuinely stunned. "You...you really agreed?"
He'd never put any hope in Zoe. Even with Sophia's connections and experience, finding Yancy would be nearly impossible. And as for a girl from a poor village like Zoe had no chance.
Zoe didn't answer directly. She just looked at Joseph and said, "Well then, let's wait and see."
Joseph snorted. "Then I'll wait and see if you really have what it takes to marry into the Ludwig family." But it was obvious he didn't believe Zoe at all.
He'd rather put his faith in Sophia than in this village girl. There was no way she could pull off what the whole family couldn't.
Compared to Zoe, he was much more willing to believe Sophia could find the doctor for him.
What he didn't know was that the moment Zoe heard the name "Mr. Lewind", a familiar figure had already popped into her mind.
She thought, '"Mr. Lewind", there's only one person who'd use a name like that, and it is him.'
Sure, that guy was a big shot at Eminence Nexus, but among her disciples, he was the most restless—always running around the world, probably off sightseeing in some country.
Other people might not be able to reach him, but for her, it was a different story. He might hang up on anyone else, but he'd never dare hang up on her.
Thinking of this, Zoe couldn't help but curl her lips into a cold, confident smirk.
Completely unaware of what Zoe was thinking, Joseph added, "But if Sophia finds the miracle doctor first, then none of us, me or your uncles, will ever let this woman set foot in our house, not even half a step.
"Shawn, you'll have to marry Sophia. I'll fight your uncles if I have to. Otherwise, you'll be letting your grandma down."
"Not a chance," Shawn shot back without hesitation.
"Alright," Zoe agreed, her tone unwavering.
