Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 219

“Hmph!” Elder Quigley snorted again. Tony immediately felt that there was a chance. He said fawningly, “Elder Quigley, I’ll keep my word. I’ll definitely get Mr. Quimby’s teapot for you.” Joseph looked at Tony unhappily. “Do you think I lack money or connections? Huh? If I want Cash’s teapot, won’t I ask him for it myself? Do I need you to buy it for me? Edgar, see the guest out!”

At the door, Edgar heard Elder Quigley calling him and immediately rushed in. He was a martial artist, so he did not beat around the bush. He directly chased Tony away. “Please!” It was as if he was saying, “If you don’t leave, I’ll throw you away.” “Elder Quigley…” Tony tried one last time.

“Hmph!” Joseph snorted angrily. Edgar was about to grab Tony. Tony wasn’t about to let him do that, as that would have been embarrassing for someone of his status. He said to Edgar unhappily, “I’ll go myself!” He said politely to Joseph, “Elder Quigley, please take your nap. I’ll come and see you next time.” He still wanted to fight for a way out for himself. He figured that perhaps Joseph would calm down in a few days.

There would be an auction in a few days, and he would first bid for the Mr. Quimby teapot. When the time came, he would bring the entire set of clay teapots over with sincerity. Tony left. Joseph sent a message to Cash, “Do you have a full set of teapots at the special clay works auction in a few days? Raise the price to the extreme. Don’t stop until the set reaches 600 million.” Cash replied, “Oh sure, I’d be sure to make that bastard who treated Anna poorly bleed, and let him learn his lesson. (Laughing emoji)” Only then did Joseph notify Gwen to come in. When Gwen learned that she could finally meet Joseph, she was immediately overjoyed. She was getting impatient. She walked inside and Joseph sat on the couch yawning away. Gwen immediately greeted Joseph politely. “Old Mr. Quigley, this is a small gift for you.” “Thank you,” Joseph said as he yawned.

“Old Mr. Quigley, I’m here today to ask about becoming a disciple of yours. I’ve been learning from my grandfather since I was young. At that time, he often mentioned you, saying that you were the number one practitioner in all of Chanaea. As long as you’re around, our country’s practice of traditional

medicine will definitely rise one day.” Gwen did all she could to suck up to Joseph, just to be able to study under him. “Your grandfather often talked about me?” Joseph looked very happy.

Gwen saw that the flattery was effective and immediately replied, “Yes. Even now, he often brings you up. He said during the time you two worked in the hospital together, he was inferior to you in every aspect.” “At least he knows his place,” Joseph said. “For so many years, I’ve always wanted to study under you, but you’ve retired. Old Mr. Quigley, can you take me as your disciple?” Gwen’s expression was sincere, yet there was no lack of coquettishness in her tone. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Well, I don’t take disciples anymore. At this age, I don’t have much energy.” Joseph yawned again. Gwen immediately said, “Old Mr. Quigley, please accept me as your disciple. Don’t worry, I won’t take up too much of your time. Teach me a little when you’re in good spirits. I can learn it myself in other times.” Joseph knew what Gwen was thinking. She was only after the identity and title of being Joseph’s disciple to use this identity and title for personal gain.

He yawned and said, “When I retired back then, I announced to the public that I wouldn’t take any more disciples in this life. I couldn’t afford to go back on my own words like that.” “Old Mr. Quigley, can you make an exception for me?” Gwen held Joseph’s arm with both hands, and her tone became even more coquettish. Joseph seemed to be shaken by Gwen and said, “I have an idea, but it’s gonna be a little unfair to you.” When Gwen saw Joseph giving in, she immediately said, “Old Mr. Quigley, I’d do anything.”

As long as she could be Joseph’s disciple, there was little that she wouldn’t do. She guessed that the unfairness that Joseph was talking about was probably taking her in as a disciple secretly and not publicizing it. That wouldn’t be a problem. So long as Joseph took her in, she would find an opportunity to publicize it in the future after hiding the fact for a period of time.

Joseph said, “I have a disciple who is talented and hardworking. Whether it’s talent or current medical skills, she’s above me. If you’re willing, you can study under that disciple instead. If you take that one

as your master, you’ll learn far more there than what you’ll learn from me.” Gwen’s expression instantly turned ugly. She wondered if that person was Jonathan.

Jonathan and Annalise had such a good relationship. If she acknowledged Jonathan as her master, she figured that she would be mocked and bullied to death by Annalise. Jonathan had announced to the public that Annalise was his junior sister. She figured that he must have wanted to use this opportunity to make Joseph take Annalise as his disciple. However, Joseph no longer accepts disciples. Annalise did not have a chance.

Her eyes flickered. Gwen thought for a moment and asked, “Old Mr. Quigley, are you talking about Master Jonathan Woods?” She had thought about it. If she were to acknowledge Jonathan as her master, she would rather not be related to Joseph. However, if it was Joseph’s other disciple, it was not impossible. If Joseph’s disciple’s medical skills were above Jonathan, then after she became the other person’s disciple, it wouldn’t be considered having been disrespectful to Jonathan. She could then at least be above Annalise.

She could arrogantly say to Annalise, “What kind of junior sister are you? Grandmaster stopped accepting. disciples more than 10 years ago. You can at most be considered Jonathan’s little follower.” Also, if it was really as Joseph said, and this disciple’s medical skills were above Joseph, then she could indeed learn a lot. By then, it would be a lot more satisfying to directly crush Jonathan. Joseph had lived to this age and had seen all kinds of people. When she pouted, Joseph knew what she was up to next.

He said, “It’s not Jonathan. Jonathan is a simple and hardworking kid, but his talent is a little lacking I taught him some ancestral acupuncture techniques, but he couldn’t learn them even after trying many times. After so many years, he only learned some ordinary acupuncture techniques. Fortunately, he learned modern medicine well and he is very good with surgeries.” “Jonathan, take the blame for being bad at medicine just this once.” Joseph thought. Upon hearing that there was an ancestral acupuncture

technique, a glint flashed across Gwen’s eyes. She asked, “Old Mr. Quigley, does your talented disciple know these acupuncture techniques?”

“Well, if you ask me, talent is needed in any industry. That talented disciple of mine, no matter how complicated the acupuncture technique is, that disciple is able to master it after a few lessons.” It wasn’t just the acupuncture technique. Anna knew everything from discerning, formulating, concocting medicines, and refining pills. She showed shocking talents in everything. “Old Mr. Quigley, how about this? I’ll be your disciple in name. When the time comes, I’ll learn medicine from my senior,” Gwen suggested. She believed that Joseph’s talented disciple must be a man.
