Zedeck hurried to say, "No, no, none of that! You're old friends with Mister Grayson. I should be showing you respect instead." It was clear that Zedeck already knew who Wilbur was. Wilbur did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was a little ridiculous that this higher-up was saying he should treat him with respect. Wilbur could also tell that this was definitely no ordinary dinner. There was no way Benjamin would just invite Wilbur all the way over to introduce him to Zedeck. Just then, Susie poured everyone a glass and Benjamin raised his. "Let's have a little drink before anything." The crowd followed, draining their glasses. Just then, Wilbur said, "Come on, Mister Grayson. Just say what it is you have to say. There isn't a need to beat around the bush with me." "You know me best, young man," Benjamin chuckled. "Well, Zedeck here has run into a little trouble that he would like your help with." Wilbur cursed internally. What could a province chief need his he
Orin and Zedeck were taken aback, but they quickly regained their composure. It was fine since Wilbur was the one who beat him up. Benjamin glanced at Wilbur, then he yelled, "Bring that little asshole in here!" Susie soon brought in a bruised guy with stylish clothes. The guy wanted to cry when he saw Benjamin, but he noticed that Wilbur was sitting there. He could not believe his eyes. He subconsciously blurted out, "F*ck! How dare you trespass on this household! Let's see who will save you now!" Wilbur smiled faintly and had a sip of his drink. Benjamin scolded sternly, "Shaw Grayson, what have you done out there?" The guy named Shaw Grayson instantly felt a shiver run down his spine. He noticed that something was wrong. He rolled his eyes and mumbled, "I had a car accident. It's nothing major." He glanced toward Orin and the others while he spoke. "Was it only a car accident?" asked Benjamin coldly. Shaw went pale, and he did not dare to speak. Wilbur as
Wilbur shook his head and sighed. Degenerates were bound to appear for successful families. It occurred even when the Graysons were strict. It appeared that it was inevitable anywhere. Suddenly, an alarming thought crossed his mind. He was reminded that he was rooted with a lot of people around him. It seemed like he also had to be careful. Zedeck tried to ease the tension by chuckling and saying, "Come on, Mister Grayson. Let's have a drink. Don't be angry." However, Benjamin was not in the mood. He shook his head without saying anything. Orin did not dare to say anything. Wilbur noticed it and said, "Mister Grayson, Mister Campbell, I'll head back first. Let's depart to the South Market tomorrow morning, alright?" "That's wonderful." Zedeck was waiting for Wilbur to say that. Benjamin nodded. Wilbur chatted with Orin for a while before he said his goodbyes and left. He went back to Sealake Island. He visited Eileen's room when she was meditating. She lifted a
Wilbur suddenly stood up and said, "No. Don't try to trick me by making things up. I won't do anything without concrete evidence." Then, he left the room. Eileen sighed deeply when she watched Wilbur leave. Was he still afraid? If he would not take over the Kiwanis Club, who would? Should she just let those people ruin the Kiwanis Club? She shook her head and frowned deeply, then leaned back lazily on the sofa. The autumn sunlight shone on her. Her curvy body was as seductive as a ripe peach. Wilbur went back to his room and tossed the box on the table. He lethargically dropped onto the sofa. He stared at the ceiling and wondered. He did not notice when Faye entered the room. She was wearing a lacy strap robe that night. Her loose clothes did nothing to conceal her sensual body. Her cleavage could be vaguely seen as she moved, making for a stunning sight. Faye cheerfully entered the room, but Wilbur was distracted. She was taken aback at first. Then, she hur
She felt like she should wait it out. She only hoped that he was not too exhausted and that he would not hide his sadness too deeply. … The next day, Wilbur walked out of his room and laughed while facing the sunlight. He then left Sealake Island. Wilbur and Zedeck were talking about the missing persons' case on the highway. He listened attentively and nodded from time to time. The local police and special agents could not solve the case, so it was troubling. However, Damon reached out to Wilbur. Damon nearly begged on the phone. He requested Wilbur to reach out as soon as possible, and he said that he might not make it. Wilbur could not help it, so he told Zedeck that he needed to solve Damon's issues first. Zedeck immediately frowned when he heard that. He said, "The Wright Corp is a major corporation in the South Market, and it produces tens of millions of dollars in profit. I don't know how serious his issues are. I can't believe he's asking you to help." "Yea
Wilbur frowned and said, "You should mind your tone. Your father gave me the bronze cauldron to request for my help. I didn't ask for it, and I didn't steal it." "I told you. My father is in over his head, but I'm not." Sadie looked at Wilbur menacingly. Wilbur shook his head helplessly and wondered why the family did not communicate. Damon was in the wrong for the lack of proper communication. However, it was inappropriate for Wilbur to be angry at a girl. Wilbur wanted to slap her for that attitude. Sadie suddenly received a call. She hung up after a few exchanges, and she started the car again. "Mister Penn, that was a call from my father. He wants me to bring you home, but don't get any funny ideas. You have to return the bronze cauldron no matter what," she said coldly. He ignored the brat because she would not understand. He would throw the bronze cauldron back in their faces if Damon changed his mind. He needed a sacrifice for contribution, but that one bronz
The older woman was instantly taken aback. She scoffed coldly after a moment and said, "Let's go, Sadie. Wait until your father comes back before we expose this scammer. Your father needs a wake-up call." Sadie stood up and looked at Wilbur, then said, "You're not pulling off this scheme of yours, trash." Then, they left Wilbur alone. He felt like they would instruct someone to beat him up if he was not requested by Damon. He shook his head and laughed. He wondered why the mother-and-daughter duo did not trust Damon at all. Wilbur thought perhaps they did not realize the severity of the problem faced by Wright Corp. He felt like Damon was not an idiot since he ran a major enterprise. He started to shut his eyes and meditate as he waited quietly. Half an hour later, a middle-aged man rushed in. Wilbur opened his eyes to look at him. The man was in his fifties, and he was slightly fat. His clothes were obviously from luxury brands. He had a worrisome look in his eye
Damon was instantly infuriated and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is the expert of Seechertown who can do anything. How dare you speak to Mister Penn that way?" "Dad, what's wrong with you? Wake up! I'm begging you!" said Sadie with a pained expression. Sally also said in a sobbing tone, "You're giving away our family heirloom instead of thinking of ways to save our son! What were you thinking? Are you an old fool?" Damon was shaking his head in frustration. He pointed at them and asked, "How dare you bring him up? Our company is in trouble all because of that brat. I want to kill him myself! Let alone save him." He coughed up blood. That terrified Sadie and Sally. They hurriedly went to support him, and they nervously asked if he was alright. Damon waved them off and said, "They want two billion dollars. Where would I get two billion dollars in cash? The Zachs, the Godfreys, and the Waders hold fifty percent of the company shares. They want me to step do
