Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Everyone present was shocked upon hearing this . All the staff in the Royal Medical Hall stopped what they were doing and stared at Avery . Avery's face , which was otherwise fairly good - looking , was severely swollen today . This morning , when Nolan asked him . about it , he claimed it was from a bug bite . Everyone was puzzled . ' In this cold winter , a bug bite ? " But no one expected that Margaery would come out and expose his secret . It turned out he got beaten up while stealing a prescription . As they traced back , there were indeed no signs of bug bites on Avery's face ; instead , it looked like someone had slapped him several times . This was going to be entertaining . His colleagues , who couldn't stand him putting on airs , now laughed mockingly . " Doctor Wallen , aren't you always concerned about propriety ? How could you stoop so low as to steal ? " What about the prescription ? " Didn't you say before that it was your own development ? Now it seems not quite right . " Could you be saying that you stole your sister's formula for yourself and then tried to bully her into apologizing to Tessa ? " if that's true , that's too shameless ! " The chaotic voices felt like slaps on Avery's face . He felt burning hot on his cheeks . Furious with embarrassment , he decided not to argue anymore . Glaring at Margaery , he said defiantly , " Margaery , the prescription has already been submitted to the Royal Medical Hall . If they want it , let them come get it themselves . " Besides , you gifted me the formula before . Any trouble caused is your fault .. " No. " Margaory denied . " I gave you those formulas under certain conditions . " The first formula was for flying kites with me , but you broke your promise and went shopping for candies for Tessa . The second formula was for speaking up for me in front of Father so he wouldn't send me to Gracewind Garden . " But instead of helping me , you sided with Tessa and allowed her to take over my Blissom Hall while I ended up in the abandoned Gracewind Garden , " The third formula was for asking you to bring allergy medicine for me . But when you came back that day , all you brought was stomach medicine for Tessa , 14 23-42 Wed , 20 Aug Chapter 17 Margaery was spitting venom , laying out Avery's dirt list . " The eighteenth formula is for telling the warehouse staff to deliver me some lumber . But it wasn't until last night when you came to get the formula that you remembered there was no lumber in my fireplace . " With that , tears welled up in her eyes . " The nineteenth formula was given to you after I knelt by your feet and begged with all my heart that I didn't frame Tessa . You took the formula but still made me apologize as a price for getting out of the lumber room . " Avery , don't tell me you forgot all this . " These were all evidence of how she tried to please him . Avery only took the formulas but never fulfilled any promises or requests she made . s my " Front stage ? You're Mr. Perfect - peace glue dripping from your hands . But off - script ? Your ' family harmony ' means tears pay for everyone's happy ending . Apology vending machine - just feed me obedience coins . " Now , it's your turn to apologize to me . " The room fell silent as everyone stared at the siblings , shocked by Margaery's words . They had only heard about how jealous Margaery was and how she couldn't stand Tessa , which made the Chancellor so angry that he forced her to apologize to Tessa in front of everyone . But they didn't know there was more to the story . Someone couldn't take it anymore , " Avery , I never thought you'd be like this . How can you treat your own sister like this ? " " I never expected the Wallen family would have such dirty secrets . It's eye - opening . " Everyone shook their heads , losing all respect for the Wallen family . Even Nolan couldn't stand it anymore . " Avery , what do you have to say ? " he asked . He locked eyes on Avery , face ghost - pale . " If those prescriptions are not clean, we won't accept them . Can't trace your paper trail ? Fine , let the Inquisition Court find out the truth . " The Royal Medical Hall can't afford such a bad reputation ." He had been honest all his life ; under his leadership , the Royal Medical Hall remained spotless . That was why the King's descendants thrived . Now , about to retire but getting entangled in this mess , he was inevitably a bit upset . Hearing this , Avery thought of losing his upcoming wealth and status . His eyes turned red as he turned around and said angrily to Nolan , " Doctor Fischer , don't listen to her nonsense . There's nothing wrong with those prescriptions . 68 % 23:42 Wed , 20 Aug Chapter 17 " She's a walking bullshit artist . Every word out of her mouth is pure fiction . Never trust her ." Then , he turned around to threaten Margaery , " Margaery , since you're my sister , I won't hold it against you if you stop causing trouble . If you go back now and behave yourself , I might plead with Father for leniency on your punishment , otherwise- " " Otherwise ? " A cold voice suddenly came from outside the door , cutting him off . This voice was unique ; once heard , never forgotten . Everyone inside exchanged glances and whispered among themselves , " Is that Prince Dashnell's voice ? " " Prince Dashnell ? " Nolan was also startled , hurriedly lifting the curtain and looking at the person outside . It's so cold today . Why did Your Highness come in person ? Just let us know what you need , " he said , all polite and all . With that , he turned his head and gave Margaery a strange look . He had watched Dashnell grow up . Dashnell had a cold personality and rarely interacted with others . Not to mention women , there were only a few men he got along with . Yet , he would actually step forward for Margaery to confront the Chancellor's son . Margaery was confused by the looks she was getting . She hadn't expected Dashnell to suddenly appear either . She quickly regained her composure and made a bow . " Your Highness . " Avery jolted back , jaw locked like a steel trap . " Your Highness . " The words scraped out , a gritted salute to Dashnell . He had an ominous feeling , though it didn't seem real . " Was Prince Dashnell just defending Margaery and questioning me ? But why ? " He really couldn't figure out why Margaery could make Prince Dashnell step forward for her . So he cautiously asked , " Prince Dashnell , just now- However , Dashnell ignored him and looked straight at Nolan instead . " I just got my prescription today to pick up medicine . You know that the divine doctor who suppresses my poison has a peculiar temperament . " He doesn't want anyone else to see his prescriptions . Therefore , I have to come personally . " Nolan pondered over these words . As the King's personal doctor since the late King's reign , that old fox breathed palace politics for decades - a few dropped words click into place , and bam ! Case cracked . So , Prince Dashnell came here for Margaery . " Moreover , this prescription in his hand likely came from the same source as Margaery This truly complicated matters now , he thought to himself He iced out Avery , laser - eyes locking on Margaery , and said to Dashnell , " So , Your Highness , the miracle - scribe behind $ 374 23:42 Wed , 20 Aug Chapter 17 Lady Margaery's formulas - that's your ghost healer ?
