Chapter 328 Save
Julia said, "I heard you play the cello the other day, and it just so happens that Mr. Herty is an expert in that field. I thought you two might hit it off."
Nearby, a well-to-do lady chimed in, "Oh, absolutely! Mr. Herty is something else. He only plays for the elite of Kingsdom, and even his concerts are kept under wraps."
She gestured upward, her expression one of hushed reverence.
Meryl understood immediately.
This was the realm of the elite.
If one wanted to dig up stories about these people, one would find nothing concrete. They were the true upper crust, while those who flaunted their wealth were merely the well-off.
There was a clear divide between these two circles, but it was always advantageous for the wealthy to rub shoulders with the elite.
Meryl shook her head. "I only know a little; there’s no way I could hold a conversation with someone like that."
Julia said, "Now, that’s where you’re mistaken. I played your performance for him, and he praised your talent, saying you have great potential."
Chapter 328 Save
Bianca’s voice trembled slightly. “Meryl, it’s Mom. Can you come home for a bit? I need to talk to you.”
Meryl replied firmly, “No, I can’t. There’s nothing to discuss. I’m hanging up now.”
“Wait, where are you? If you don’t want to come home, I’ll come find you.”
“I’m at Mrs. Cole’s birthday party.”
With that, Meryl ended the call.
The Cole Villa was enormous, and the guest list for the birthday bash was extensive. There were several families with the Cole surname in Kingsdom.
Meryl doubted Bianca would actually show up.
David was well-liked in their circles, and with his wife’s birthday celebration, everyone was eager to pay their respects. The Cole Villa was practically a small park in itself.
As Meryl wandered around, she suddenly heard a commotion up ahead.
“Someone’s fainted!”
“Oh no, what do we do?”

“Quick! Call an ambulance!”
Alarmed, Meryl rushed towards the scene.
A gray-haired man lay on the ground, breathing heavily, beads of sweat dotting his forehead. He looked utterly miserable.
He was sprawled on the floor, and no one dared to approach him, unsure of what to do.
“Everyone, step back! Give him some space,” Meryl instructed, her voice calm amidst the chaos.
She crouched down to assess the situation.
The man’s palms were clammy, and his hands trembled slightly.
Keeping her composure, Meryl quickly diagnosed, saying, “Have you not eaten anything since this morning?”
As she spoke, she fished a piece of candy out of her pocket and popped it into the man’s mouth.
Onlookers were baffled. “What’s going on? Why are you feeding this old man candy?”
“Because he’s hypoglycemic,” Meryl replied matter-of-factly.
Just as her words hung in the air, the man suddenly opened his eyes.
He still looked a bit pale, but he was clearly improving.
“He’s awake!”

“So it was low blood sugar; that was terrifying!”
“So, we don’t need to call the ambulance?”
Someone in the crowd recognized the man. “Wait, isn’t that Mr. Herty? The amazing cellist?”
Harvey Herty blinked, and the first thing he saw was a striking young woman–elegant but understated, exuding a quiet sophistication.
As his vision dimmed and the world around him turned hazy from low blood sugar, all he could hear was a melodious voice. Harvey was unable to respond.
Now, staring into Meryl’s face, he felt an inexplicable familiarity, as if he had seen her before.
Meryl whispered to Harvey with a soft voice, audible only to the two of them, "Since you have irregular eating habits, keep a candy in your pocket at all times, and perhaps you should get your liver checked out.”
Harvey furrowed his brow, thinking, “My liver isn’t doing too well, but how does she know? She just gave me a quick check. Does she know medicine? A simple exam, and she’s pinpointed my issue? With her precise diagnosis, it seems she’s got some skills in medicine.”
