Following the direction of the sound, everyone looked towards the door and saw a middle-aged man in a smart suit walking into the ward. Jason and Dr. Lynch freaked out as soon as they saw the man, their faces turning green and their mouths wide agape.
He was the dignified king of Aurous Hill’s underworld, Don Albert Rhodes!
What the hell was going on?!
Why was he here?
Before Jason and Dr. Lynch could react to his appearance, the next scene made them dumbfounded as if they had been struck by lightning!
A group of people barged into the room like a SWAT team. They were Doris Young, Zeke White, Graham Quinton, Travis Lane, Anthony Simmons, and so on! These people were prominent figures in Aurous Hill and Lancaster!
They walked directly to Charlie, bowed and greeted respectfully, “Master Wade!”
Charlie asked curiously, “Why are all of you here?”
Don Albert answered, “Master Wade, we came as soon as we heard about your father-in-law’s accident, hope you don’t mind our sudden intrusion.”
Charlie smiled. “Thank you, you’re so considerate.”
His tone was relaxed and casual, but the short remark was enough of a compliment to make these VIPs blush in excitement and they even shivered a little due to the thrill.
Elaine squinted at the scene in devastation and thought, ‘Oh damn! Charlie the crook has gotten worse and worse in his deception! So many VIPs are falling for his tricks, what if his deception is exposed one day? He’ll kill us all!’
She didn’t believe that Charlie was talented at all. She knew Charlie’s past very clearly. He became an orphan at the age of eight and was sent to a welfare home. When he was a teenager, he worked various part-time jobs including being a delivery man, an air-conditioning service man, and even the hazardous high rise window cleaner. Later, he was brought home by Lord Wilson and married Claire.
If he really was so competent, why had he led such a miserable life for all these years, then?
Jason was utterly speechless at the scene, especially when he saw Jasmine Moore among the crowd!
She was the distinguished daughter of the Moore family!
The Grant family was a tiny existence compared to the majestic Moore family and even his father was in no place to meet her as they pleased!
But the beautiful and charming Jasmine Moore was so respectful and gracious towards Charlie the loser!
How could it be?!
Jason couldn’t comprehend why the wealthy and elegant lady would condescend to Charlie the deadbeat moocher! Hence, he cleared his throat and blurted out of surprise, “Miss Moore, why do you call him Master Wade? He’s just a deadbeat loser, have you mistaken him for someone else?”
Jasmine’s face darkened and she chided, “Shut up! How dare you question Master Wade?!”
Graham, who was standing beside her, sneered coldly, and said, “Master Wade is the only true dragon in the entire world with unimaginable power and strength. How could we have mistaken him for someone else?!”
Zeke added, “That’s right! Master Wade is highly respected and honorable in Aurous Hill, who do you think you are to address him by his first name, you bastard?!”
