Chapter 1632
[ 683 words ]
When sleep quality improved at night, the daytime fatigue naturally faded away.
Lately, many people had noticed Caleb’s father on television and praised how much more commanding he looked, effortlessly navigating complex diplomatic crises without breaking a sweat.
“If your dad is saying that, then Claire is practically guaranteed to be Dr. Sterling Senior’s successor.”
While Dr. Sterling Senior’s legitimate grandson was undoubtedly skilled, he still fell slightly short when compared to Claire.
The physicians serving top-tier leaders had to be the absolute best of the best.
However, this was a two-way street. It all depended on whether Claire actually wanted the job.
They had both noticed that Claire seemed to genuinely enjoy tackling bizarre and challenging medical cases.
If they actually tried to box her into being a personal healthcare physician for government officials, she might outright refuse.
“Whether she is or isn’t, all we need to do is maintain our good relationship with her.”
Hanson easily picked up on Caleb’s protective tone regarding Claire.
He found it fascinating. Despite Caleb’s gentle, harmless exterior, the man was notoriously difficult to get close to.
Wasn’t his appraisal of Claire just a bit too high?
Suddenly, Hanson recalled his mother mentioning a few days ago that Professor Achilles was stressing over finding a girlfriend for his son.
Could it be…
“Caleb, you aren’t actually interested in Claire, are you?”
There was a beat of silence on the other end of the line. “… You sound exactly like my mother.”
“If I didn’t know better, I’d think you changed careers to become a matchmaker.”
Hanson raised an eyebrow. “I’m just worried you’re going to wander down a dead- end road. Don’t forget, Claire’s fiancé is Dane.”
Caleb scoffed. “And you think I don’t know she’s engaged to Dane?”
The Green Family’s patriarch and his grandson possessed terrifyingly sharp instincts. They had locked Claire down while she was still so young, ensuring absolutely no one else had a chance to swoop in.
“Honestly, if Claire ever decided she wanted a different fiancé, it wouldn’t be entirely impossible.”
“Word is, the engagement between those two families is just a relic left over from the previous generation.”
Hanson couldn’t shake the feeling that Caleb wasn’t entirely immune to her charm. Anyone who spent enough time around Claire would inevitably find themselves drawn to her. It was simply human nature.
“Don’t try to egg me on.” Caleb understood the dynamics far better than Hanson did.
“Claire’s mother is Melissa.”
“Melissa already backed out of a marriage arrangement once before. If her daughter breaks the renewed engagement now, both The Churchill Family and The Green Family would

While it might not completely sever the ties between the two powerhouse families, it would absolutely send shockwaves through the corporate landscape.
Besides, to anyone with eyes, Claire and Dane looked like a match made in heaven, perfectly smitten with one another.
Given how solid they were, why would he ever play the role of the homewrecker?

With the dramatic return of The Churchill Family’s long-lost
granddaughter, the question of exactly who Melissa had married became the hottest topic of private gossip.

Rumor had it that during Melissa’s university days, there was a brilliant physics prodigy named Agassi.
Back then, the poor kid from the countryside had dazzled quite a few people.
However, some argued that Agassi wasn’t just a simple poor boy.
Even in that era, while his lifestyle was undeniably frugal, the fabrics he wore were exceptionally comfortable and practically pristine, without a single patch.
People only called him poor because of his rural origins.
But to successfully court a high-society heiress like Melissa, and to never once pick the cheapest options when eating at the dining hall, took something more. Several older men who had once tried to woo Melissa had even stepped forward, claiming that the legendary Agassi was far more complex than he appeared.
It wasn’t that they hadn’t tried hard enough to win her over; the competition was simply too formidable!
Of course, there was always the chance those men were just saying that to salvage their own bruised egos.
