Chapter 543

"Now it tastes right."

"Since ancient times, a fine sword is for a hero, and jewels are for a beauty. It's not appropriate for a pretty little kitten like you to have a bare neck."

Felicia Hardy instinctively touched her neck, then her eyes widened and she quickly looked down.

She found herself wearing a dazzling sapphire necklace, the sapphire on which was the size of a thumb. Based on her experience, she knew at a glance that it was priceless!

Felicia Hardy was startled. She realized that the other person had put the sash on her neck when they touched her, but the speed was too fast, and she hadn't noticed at all.

After the initial surprise, she prepared to remove the necklace.

What are you doing?

"I'll take it off and return it to you."

"No need, it's just a small gift, you can have it," Su Quan said dismissively, waving his hand.

Felicia Hardy quickly said, "No, this... this is too valuable, I can't accept it!"

"The necklace is inanimate, but the person is alive." Su Quan said with a smile, "Men only have two purposes when they give women gifts: one is to express their gratitude, and the other is to move the woman and receive her gratitude."

Which type do you think I am?

Felicia Hardy thought to herself, "What else could it be? I haven't done anything for you to thank me for, yet you're giving me a priceless jewelry necklace. Your intentions are crystal clear."

However, I was genuinely moved!

As Norman Osborn's assistant, Felicia Hardy was used to the life of the wealthy and the extravagance of high society.

She is definitely not a country bumpkin who has never seen money or the world.

But—she had never received such an expensive gift before. This sapphire necklace must be worth at least tens of millions, right?

Let alone the first meeting, even if you've known someone for several years, it's impossible for a wealthy person to give you a gift worth tens of millions!

To be honest, Felicia Hardy was captivated by both the beauty of the sapphire necklace itself and the material value it represented; she felt she couldn't resist it.

She held onto the necklace, hesitating to take it off.

Su Quan came out of the pool and glanced at Felicia Hardy. Felicia Hardy looked away somewhat awkwardly and picked up a towel.

Osborn Manor, in the suburbs.

With a rosy complexion and weak steps, Felicia Hardy led Su Quan to Norman Osborn's room.

The room was dark; not only were the lights off, but the windows were also covered by layers of curtains, making it completely dark.

In the middle of the room, a large bed was covered by a highly sealed transparent protective cloth, and on the bed lay a middle-aged man who was on his deathbed and critically ill.

It was Norman Osborn, the founder of the Osborn Industries and a top billionaire with a net worth of at least two hundred billion US dollars!

Besides him, there were two other people in the room, who were his closest and most trusted people.

Son Harry Osborn and assistant Ade.

"Can you cure Mr. Osborn?" Ade scrutinized Su Quan, his tone revealing obvious suspicion and rudeness.

Harry Osborn frowned and snapped, "You'd better watch your mouth! And are you questioning Mr. Su Quan, or me?"

Ade shook his head and explained, "I don't doubt you, Mr. Harry, but it's my job, and I have to investigate thoroughly. Mr. Osborn can't afford to take any more risks."

Harry Osborn's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. "You don't suspect me, so you suspect Mr. Su Quan? What's the difference between that and suspecting me?"

And what do you mean by risk?

Don't forget, you're just an assistant. I'm the young master of the Osborn family and the only successor!

Ade's snub made Harry Osborn's expression very ugly. He was furious because Ade had slapped him in the face, slapped the face of young master Osborne, the only future heir!

However, Ade's words were very skillful, leaving him no room to find a flaw in his outburst!

Ade is his father's assistant. He only listens to his father and only thinks about his father. He doesn't care about himself, the young master. He is completely loyal to his duty and can be called a role model!

But you should never have doubted Mr. Su Quan. Do you know who Mr. Su Quan is? Do you know what price you will pay for offending Mr. Su Quan?

Oh, you know, because when I told my father what had happened over the years, and when I mentioned Mr. Su Quan to him, you were there too.

You're not unaware, you're just too arrogant to believe it!

"No, I can't let you drag my father down with me!"

Harry Osborn stared coldly at Ade, preparing to teach this loose-tongued fellow a lesson before Mr. Su Quan could speak, so that Mr. Su Quan would calm down.

However, just as he was about to take action, Su Quan spoke up.

Glancing at Ade, who seemed to think, "You'll have to get past me first," Su Quan walked straight to a chair not far away, saying indifferently as he went, "If you can't speak, then never speak."

"Hiss..."

A gasp of shock suddenly rang out as Harry Osborn, Felicia Hardy, and the frail Norman Osborn on his sickbed all looked at Ade with stunned expressions.

Just as Ade was about to ask a question in confusion, he was suddenly startled and hurriedly reached out to touch his mouth with both hands.

Ade's face, from his nose down to his chin up, was completely bald, with nothing on it!

Where is my mouth?

Where did my mouth go?

Ade looked terrified, his eyes wide with confusion, gesturing wildly as if trying to express something!

However, everyone was still in shock and horror at the mysterious disappearance of his mouth, and they paid no attention to his fear, nor did they dare to pay any attention to him.

Just kidding, Su Quan's one sentence, "If you can't speak, then never speak," made Ade's mouth disappear.

What's this?

Words become law, even God is no more powerful than this!

In this situation, who dares to pay attention, who dares to speak up?

Terrified, Ade had lost all composure and reason. All he knew was that Su Quan had removed his mouth, and he would definitely be able to come back.

As for whether he had the ability to get Su Quan to put his mouth back in, that was a completely foreign concept to him at the moment.

He just wanted his mouth back!

Ade's eyes widened in fury as he charged straight at Su Quan.

Su Quan glanced at Felicia Hardy indifferently. This seemingly ordinary glance caused Felicia Hardy, who was also Norman Osborn's assistant, to instinctively rush out and block Ade.

The seemingly petite and delicate Felicia Hardy tripped Ade with her foot, while simultaneously grabbing Ade's shoulder and shoving him hard backward.

"Bang!"

Ade fell heavily to the ground, which stunned him and also jolted Leng Qing awake.

He never expected that his seemingly weak personal assistant, Felicia Hardy, could so skillfully and easily trip him up, nor did he expect that she would obey Su Quan 'Su Quan orders and take action for him.

What he didn't expect was that Su Quan, whom he thought was a swindler, was actually a genuine deity!

At that moment, Ade was filled with regret.

Seeing that Ade had no intention of continuing, Felicia Hardy retreated behind Su Quan.

It's clear from her behavior that she has made it clear that she is Su Quan's person.

Harry Osborn was not surprised by this, nor was Norman Osborn.

Despite Norman Osborn's seemingly dying appearance, she was quite shrewd. When she and Su Quan entered, Norman Osborn noticed the sapphire necklace around her neck.

This necklace must have been a gift from Su Quan!

Although she had never treated Felicia Hardy poorly in terms of her treatment over the years, she could not afford this necklace even after working diligently in Osborne her whole life.

Su Quan gave such an expensive gift on their first meeting; anyone would be tempted!

However, Norman Osborn was not angry; on the contrary, he was extremely excited and thrilled.

First of all, the fact that Su Quan was willing to give such an expensive necklace to Felicia Hardy is enough to prove his wealth.

Secondly, Su Quan's ability to silence Ade with a single sentence—in a practical sense—is a testament to his skill, a move akin to divine intervention.

In conclusion, this is sufficient to prove that what Harry said is true!

Science may not be able to cure one's family's hereditary diseases or save one's life, but theology can, and God can!

If a mere female assistant can increase the chances of Su Quan, or rather, the divine intervention to save him, then he would say he could have as many female assistants as he wanted!

"Sir?" Harry Osborn called out cautiously.

Su Quan understood his meaning and looked at Norman Osborn, who was lying on the bed with a pleading expression.

Come before me.

Norman was overjoyed. He struggled to sit up, shakily pulled out the various tubes that sustained his life and health, and then with great difficulty rolled over and got off the ground.

Harry Osborn and his friends wanted to go and help, but Norman Osborn wisely stopped them.

He wasn't exactly a shrewd old man, after all, Norman Osborn was only middle-aged, but the fact that he was able to build the Osborn Industries shows that, aside from anything else, he definitely had a knack for reading people and understanding their thoughts.

He knew that Su Quan's decision to send him over was both a test and a punishment for him.
