Clarence nodded seriously, “Of course.”
Hailey stared at Clarence for a few seconds before bursting into laughter. “Okay, I believe you. I’ll go to the interview tomorrow. It’s late now, so I should go back.”
“Let me drive you,” suggested Clarence.
Hailey shook her head. “It’s fine. You’ve stayed with me for so long already. I can just call a car.”
Before Clarence could react, she pecked Clarence on the cheek lightly.
“Goodbye, Clary.”
The woman held her slippers and ran away barefoot along the beach. Then, she hailed a cab by the side of the road and disappeared in front of Clarence.
“That girl.”
Clarence touched his cheek and looked at Hailey’s back. He took out his phone. “Hello, Jeremy, it’s me.”
“Clarence, how can I help you? After the last time I left Thirteen Hall, my father grounded me. I’m free now, so let’s meet up! Hehe, I’m going to tell you now, my entertainment company has a new batch of newbies and they’re all very beautiful. Do you want me to introduce a few to you?” Jeremy was buttering Clarence up by being the chatterbox he was.
Clarence helplessly said, “You rascal, you almost lost your life before this because you gave yourself a kidney deficiency. Do you not want to live over 40?”
Jeremy loudly declared, “You have to live life to the fullest. You need to enjoy it while you still have time to enjoy it. Plus, I have a miracle doctor like you, right? You can save me if I’m dying, anyway.
“You can bring the dead back to life, so what’s my kidney deficiency to you?”
Clarence shook his head unhappily. “Alright, you can keep those women. I need to ask you if you have a company named Glorious Entertainment under you.”
“Glorious Entertainment?”
Jeremy was stunned. Then, he hesitated for a few seconds as if he was thinking about something.
He finally recalled something. “I think I do. I’ve only invested about 10 billion in it to bring a few girls to fame. I would’ve almost forgotten about the place if you hadn’t reminded me.”
Clarence was speechless.
This kid’s family was too rich, and he was their only son. He had even forgotten how many companies he had under him.
“Why? Are you interested in the entertainment industry? If you want, I can give that company to you.” Jeremy was being extremely generous.
Clarence quickly replied, “No! Stop! I’m not interested in it. I have a friend who’s going for an interview at your Glorious Entertainment tomorrow morning.”
“A friend?”
Jeremy became energetic all of a sudden. “Clarence, tell me. I’m great at pulling strings. Tell me, what job do you want me to give her? Should I just let her become the manager? That way I won’t have to trouble myself with her in the future.
“I’m not worried about your person’s skills.”
Clarence rolled his eyes. “No need. She just needs a platform to showcase her skills. I trust her skills and know she’ll climb up the ranks sooner or later.”
Jeremy nodded. “Okay, I’ll listen to you. What’s her name?”
Clarence replied, “Hailey Lester.”
After he hung up, Jeremy quickly called the person in charge of Glorious Entertainment. “Hello, there’s a Hailey Lester coming for an interview tomorrow. You have to treat her well! Remember, this is my brother’s woman!”
Clarence left the beach, about to go back to Thirteen Hall.
When he got to his car, he was baffled by the scene he was met with.
All the windows of his Lamborghini Veneno were smashed. The paint was scratched so badly it would be impossible for an outsider to tell what color it had been before.
Even the hood had been opened, and someone had poured a few buckets of water inside the engine.
A car worth 100 million was useless now.
Clarence quickly took out his phone to call the cops. After a few minutes, a few police cars arrived at the scene and brought out the surveillance footage.
From the footage, Clarence could see the few youngsters from earlier destroying his Lamborghini Veneno. They scratched its paint and poured water into the hood of the car.
The middle-aged man held up a notepad. “Sir, you saw the footage yourself. We can’t determine the price of a luxury car, so you can only report this first for now. With this record, you can choose to file a complaint or press charges against the people who destroyed your car. This is the written acknowledgment of your report. We’ll contact you if we have any updates.”
They had come quickly, and they also left quickly.
Clarence’s face was dark as he called the people from the Lambhorgini’s dealership over.
When the people from the dealership saw the car, they were shocked. “Mr. Howard, this car is already useless. If you want to repair it, it might cost even more than buying a new one. The factory price of this car is 100 million and with all kinds of procedures and taxes… It’ll have a landing price of 130 million when it arrives in the country.
“If you want to fix it, you might need to pay double that price. You know all the parts of a luxury car will have to come from the original factory, and the price overseas is much more expensive.”
Clarence said, “Tow it away and fix it.”
“Okay.”
The people from the dealership were quick. They towed the car away and sent Clarence back to Thirteen Hall.
That night, Clarence called Johnson. “Johnson, find someone for me.”
Even though Clarence did not want to make trouble for anyone, he was not afraid of anything either.
The repair fee for his car was going to be a few hundred million. Was he supposed to just suffer this loss silently?
How could Clarence not be enraged by his Lamborghini Veneno being destroyed?
“Tell me, Master Howard.”
Clarence sent the footage to Johnson and told him about what had happened to his Lamborghini Veneno.
Johnson tapped his head. “Who is he? How could he be so brainless? Don’t worry, Master Howard, I’ll see which brainless kid had the balls to destroy your car. Once I find him, I’ll make his family pay for everything. I’ll make them pay the repair fees in full.”
Clarence nodded. “Okay. Thank you for the trouble.”
The next afternoon, after looking at a batch of patients, Clarence was about to have his lunch.
Suddenly, Johnson called him. “Master Howard, I’ve found him.”
“Who is he?” Clarence asked coldly.
Johnson lowered his voice. “He’s not from Mediterranean City. He’s a Cox from Gold City. His name is Tom Cox. They have assets worth tens of billions, and they’re considered to be an affluent family in Gold City. He came to Mediterranean City yesterday. I’ve found the hotel Tom is staying in, and I’m keeping an eye on him now.”
Clarence answered, “Send me the address. I’ll head over now.”
“Okay.”
Johnson nodded in agreement. Suddenly, his heart sank. “Master Howard, I think I saw your ex-wife.”
“Miranda?” Clarence was shocked.
Johnson had a baffled look on his face. “She’s sitting at the same table as Tom, and they’re about to eat. They’re chatting happily, but I don’t know what they’re talking about…”
Suddenly, Johnson exclaimed, “Damn, Master Howard, come quick! That kid can’t keep his hands to himself! He’s holding her hand!”
