After Zoe herself jumped in and posted that message, the internet blew up all over again.
[Oh no, what am I seeing? One of the people involved actually showed up to argue.]
[@ZoeIsMe Seriously, do you have any shame? How dare you say you found the miracle doctor? Who do you think you are?]
[Exactly! You just clung to Shawn, didn't you? Sure, you've got a bit of power now, but don't get cocky. How could you possibly get the miracle doctor to help you? Where's your proof?]
A bunch of netizens started jumping in to question Zoe, and seeing people speak up for her made Sophia's mood instantly improve.
Sophia thought, 'That's right.
'Zoe might be the Ruler of the Eminence Nexus and the infamous Firefox, but so what? There's no way she could get everyone to help her. The miracle doctor must have come for my sake.
'She's just some woman who fights on the battlefield and how could she possibly have any connection to the miracle doctor? It has to be because of me.'
Zoe couldn't care less about the online drama. After sending her message, she just put her phone aside and went straight to sleep.
As the hype around the miracle doctor kept growing, all sorts of wealthy and influential people who needed treatment started pouring into Jelonsburg, hoping for even a brief meeting with him.
On the surface, Jelonsburg looked calm, but behind the scenes, it was absolute chaos.
All this commotion gave the miracle doctor, Yancy, a real headache. He even had Lucas put out a warning that anyone who tried to bother him wouldn't get treated, no exceptions.
Once the desperate patients heard the warning, none of them dared disturb the miracle doctor anymore. All they could do was wait anxiously on the sidelines.
That day, Shawn pulled up to the Evans residence, and without saying a word, took Zoe with him right in front of the whole family.
Eunice saw the whole thing. The man she liked was right there, but he didn't even look her way. He was here for Zoe. Watching Shawn leave with Zoe, Eunice just stood there, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
Eunice thought, 'Why is it that just seeing them walk away together makes me feel like no one else could ever come between them? They barely even touched, but it's like their bond is already unbreakable. No, it has to be my imagination.'
Zoe got in the car and grinned. "What brings you here to pick me up yourself?"
"Just happened to be passing by," he replied, his tone easy. She took it just as lightly—whatever the real reason was, it didn't matter anymore.
When they arrived at the Ludwig residence, Zoe followed Shawn in.
All the Ludwig elders were already there, except for Joseph himself. After all, today was the day the miracle doctor was coming to see Amy, so everyone was taking it very seriously.
But just as Shawn brought Zoe in, Sophia showed up as well.
The moment Sophia saw Zoe, a flash of disdain crossed her face. She really couldn't understand how someone could be so shameless, trying to take credit like that.
After getting out of her car, Sophia immediately walked up to the old patriarch, putting on her sweetest, most obedient act. "Grandpa Joseph, I'm here," she said.
Meanwhile, Zoe stood quietly next to Shawn, but none of the Ludwig elders paid her any attention. The difference in attitude made it obvious that, in their eyes, Sophia was still the one they wanted as Shawn's fiancée.
When Joseph saw Sophia, his whole face lit up with joy. At the end of the day, he still preferred Sophia.
Joseph personally came over to greet her. "Sophia, come sit down. It's still early, so let's have some fruit first. This fruit was flown fresh from overseas this morning."
Sophia smiled and handed over her gift. "Thank you, Grandpa Joseph. I brought you a pair of porcelain vases from ancient times. I hope you'll like them."
Joseph was a huge fan of antiques—anything from the ancient times, the older the better.
Joseph quickly opened the box, and even his shrewd old eyes seemed to light up. Still, he said politely, "You really didn't have to bring a gift, Sophia. You're always so thoughtful."
"Of course, we should always bring a gift when visiting elders. Otherwise, it just wouldn't feel right," Sophia said deliberately, clearly hinting at how rude Zoe was.
After all, Zoe had shown up empty-handed, which was just plain disrespectful to the Ludwig family.
Joseph already didn't like Zoe, and after hearing Sophia's words, he was even more convinced that Zoe wasn't fit for the family.
Sophia thought, 'If she really ended up with Shawn, was she going to deal with Jelonsburg's high society like this? Ridiculous. She is just a small-town girl who couldn't handle herself in the big leagues.'
"What are you doing here?" Joseph shot Zoe a frosty glare, his attitude toward her completely different from how he treated Sophia.
Shawn stayed silent, because he trusted her completely—this was nothing she couldn't handle on her own.
Sure enough, Zoe didn't let Shawn down. Even faced with such a hostile crowd, she didn't flinch. She just said coldly, "I'm here to settle our bet."
The moment she spoke, everyone in the room looked displeased, especially Joseph—his face instantly turned sour.
"Our bet was that you'd bring the miracle doctor to treat my wife. Did you do it?" he demanded.
Zoe replied, enunciating every word, "I've already invited Mr. Lewind to Jelonsburg."
At this point, Yancy was already in Jelonsburg and would be here soon, but Zoe's words didn't carry much weight in the Ludwig family.
Joseph glared at her and snapped, "You shameless girl! It's obvious Sophia brought the doctor—what does this have to do with you? How dare you try to steal the credit?"
With Joseph saying that, Sophia was even more convinced that she was the one who'd brought the miracle doctor.
She jumped in, full of herself, "Exactly, Zoe. If you can't do it, just admit it. Don't keep pretending or you'll just make a fool of yourself. You might not care about your reputation, but Shawn does."
Sophia was so sure because she'd contacted the miracle doctor herself. In her mind, even if Zoe had some connections, someone like Zoe, always off fighting battles, couldn't possibly have found the doctor faster than she did.
Zoe's eyes flickered, but she didn't say a word.
But right then, Shawn wrapped his arm around Zoe's waist in front of everyone, his handsome face calm as he looked at the Ludwig family.
With the confidence of a king, he said, "My woman doesn't lie. If she says she's brought the miracle doctor, then she has. If you don't believe her, that's your problem. I only trust her." No arguments, no explanations.
Joseph, who already looked down on Zoe, was furious. Shawn's defending her so openly at a time like this liked a slap in his face.
Trying to save face, Joseph jabbed a finger at Zoe and shouted, "Fine. You ungrateful brat! Even now you're still standing up for this woman? Someone, get this liar out of the Ludwig family. Right now!"
[Oh no, what am I seeing? One of the people involved actually showed up to argue.]
[@ZoeIsMe Seriously, do you have any shame? How dare you say you found the miracle doctor? Who do you think you are?]
