“Why did you call me so many times, Lily? Did something happen? My phone was on silent and I didn’t realize you called,” David explained.“Dave, my… my mom got beaten up!”‘What?‘Aunt Sally got beaten up?’If David had to list down the people, he cared about in the world from most to least, then his aunts Sally Lowe and Diana Lidell would both take first place. That was, excluding his deceased parents.Ever since his parents passed due to that incident, the only places where he could feel the warmth were when he lived with his Aunt Sally's and Diana's families.Hence, David was immediately enraged when he found out that Aunt Sally got beaten up.According to his understanding of Aunt Sally, she was not the type of person to provoke someone out of the blue.“Who beat her up? Is she badly hurt?” David quickly asked.“Your cousin brother Quinn beat her up! She’s not hurt too badly, the doctor said she’ll be fine after a few days of rest,” Lily replied.“How could Quinn beat Aun
David did not have to wait too long at the entrance of South River International Residence before Wayne and Gavin arrived in the G-Wagon.David gave Wayne a location once he got into the car and Wayne immediately set the GPS.David’s hometown was in South River Province as well, it was just that it was a rural county five to six hundred kilometers away.He should be able to arrive in the morning if he set off now.Amelia took more than half an hour in the bathroom before she walked out with a sway to her hips. She knew she was about to experience an important moment in her life.Amelia wrapped a towel around herself when she walked out, her hair still wet, which accentuated her figure. She looked very appealing, and the sight could easily make youthful men nosebleed.It was a shame that David had already left and could not take in such a pleasing sight.Amelia did not see David when she walked out. Thinking that David had gone upstairs, she sat on the sofa to wait for him.Davi
David arrived at Jacey’s bedroom and tried to push open the door. It was to no avail, though, because Jacey had locked it from the inside.“Knock knock.”David knocked on the door and said, “It’s me, Jace, open the door.”After a while, the sound of the door unlocking could be heard, but the door remained closed.David pushed open the door and entered, only to see Jacey fuming on the bed.Jacey was only sixteen this year, studying his first year of high school at Shu City. His father Yousef had pulled many connections to enroll Jacey into a good high school.Jacey was currently at a rebellious age, so he wanted to take revenge when his mom got beaten up.It was only natural that he would feel angry when his dad made him stay at home.“What happened, Jace? Tell me,” David said as he walked over to pat Jacey’s shoulder.“Dave! Quin hit my mom! I’m going to f*cking kill him, but my dad won’t let me go! Just because my dad’s a coward doesn’t mean I am too!” Jacey said angrily.Da
Her husband Yousef had also persuaded her to go to a hospital in the city and have her back checked out, but she never agreed.Naturally, she would not agree now either.“Aunt Sally, I know you don’t want to spend money, but don’t worry. I’m already making money now, so you should get treatment, and let me lighten your burdens from now on!” David urged.“You’re just a university student, so what kind of money are you making? I’m telling you, Dave, you better focus on your studies and don’t even think about getting involved in any illegal businesses! Otherwise how will you explain yourself to your parents? How will you explain yourself to me and your Aunt Diana?” Sally lectured Dave solemnly.“Aunt Sally, I really didn’t do anything bad! Don’t you know me? You watched me grow up!” David refuted with a wry smile.The reason why he kept his wealth a secret from Aunt Sally before was that he did not want her to overthink.He had originally planned to let Lily reveal his wealth slowly
David drove off with Jacey sitting exceptionally excited in the passenger seat beside him.Sally, her husband, and her daughter sat in the back seat.There was a reason this luxury car was worth three million. If it was any other car, Sally might have felt very uncomfortable due to her sprained back.However, the G-Wagon did not jostle at all as it drove smoothly and comfortably on the road.On the way to the hospital, David gave Charles a call and asked him to put in a word to the Director of River City Hospital to prepare for their arrival.David and the others arrived at River City Hospital at two pm the same day.The Director of River City Hospital, Tom Lake, had already been waiting for a while when they arrived. Mr. Luther had put in a word for David, so he did not dare to make the latter wait.“Mr. Lidell, we meet again!” Director Tom immediately went up to greet David when he saw the other alight the car.“I’ll have to trouble you again, Dr. Lake,” David said politely.
They were now most worried about their youngest son.“Dave, I know that you’re successful now, but we’ve lived in Shu City for decades. Your uncle’s job is in Shu City, we don’t know what to do here.”“Aunt Sally, all you guys need to do is move here, and you won’t have to work. If you truly feel like you want to do something, I can find you some easier work that will let you keep an eye on Jace at the same time. What do you think?” David asked.“Mom, Dad, just go with Dave’s plan! Jace is going to end up a delinquent if he keeps surrounding himself with those people back home. If not for yourselves, then at least think of Jace!” Lily persuaded.“I… Let us think more about this,” Sally replied after a while.“Alright, then. I do hope that you’ll agree, though. You did a lot for me, and it’s time I repay you. Plus, I own a hotel but there’s no one I trust to take care of it. I was hoping you could help me manage it.”“You opened a hotel?”“Yeah. I’ve been employing someone outsid
The next day, David gave Sandy a call and asked her to arrange for Jacey’s high school admission. He planned to enroll him in the same one she was attending.David’s hands were tied. He might be wealthy, but he had yet to build his own powers. His name was only well known among the SCC and T Faction.Ordinary people did not know him, and therefore had no reason to do as he requested.As the second daughter of the Luther family, enrolling a student was pretty easy.Within a few minutes, she informed David that Jacey was already administered and could come to attend classes.Thus, David drove Jacey to River City High.River City High was a renowned academy for wealthy children in South River Province. Despite being a private school, its teachers were experienced and very capable. Not to mention that with the Luther family supporting its operations, River City High had a very notable reputation in South River Province.There were two kinds of students in this high school. Those who
Sandy kept one arm around David’s and reached out the other as she introduced herself to Jacey.“Oh! H-Hi! I-I’m… I’m Jace, Jacey!” Jacey introduced himself with a stutter.Then he quickly reached out to shake Sandy’s hand. Their palms touched, and that was enough for Jacey’s cheeks to flush red.Sandy did not realize Jacey’s stutter or flushed cheeks and released her hand after shaking his. All her thoughts were on David.David turned to look at Jacey when he heard him stutter.He realized that something was wrong. Not only was Jacey blushing, but he stuttered as well. He looked like he had a crush.David then glanced at Sandy. Her short-skirted school uniform and delicate features made her blossom with youthful energy. It was a stark difference from the Sandy he saw in Fuller Golden Sands two nights ago.Indeed, her appearance would be extremely attractive for boys like Jacey who were in their puberty.David then decided that he would find time to talk to the boy.After all,
