One might even say the gold card holder was omnipotent, as they had the authority to make changes to the staff in Pearce Group business!Bode stammered just then. "O-Oh, I didn't realize it's you, Mr. Lawrence…"-Frank was the holder of that one and only Pearce Group gold card, and it was given to him by Gene after Frank saved his life.Everyone working for Pearce Group knew that, though Bode never had time to read Frank's file to recognize him.And seeing that card now, he realized that the man he thought to be Lydia's simp was actually the man who saved Gene's life.Bode's legs turned to jelly right then, and he dropped to the floor, too afraid to do anything.He had to put considerable effort into pushing himself off the floor to pull the gold card out of the wall.He passed it back to Frank with two trembling hands before dropping before his feet, trembling in fear. "Mr. Lawrence… I have been misled and ignorant! I deserve to die!"Nearby, Jane seemed to forget the agony
Frank nodded. "Go on."After five minutes, Lydia quickly returned, and passed a car key to Frank. "You can drive away with the car—we will come to your house to handle the paperwork later."She was endlessly respectful. After all, she called the general manager of Pearce Group, who hurried off like the devil was on his heels, to ask Gene for instructions.Gene's response was short but clear. "Absolute satisfaction, whatever it takes."And having received his orders, the general manager promptly cut short the entire process, and told Lydia to give the keys to Frank directly.The speed and attitude of the entire process left Lydia in endless disbelief."Well, thank you very much," Frank said as he got into the car and started the simplistic but actually complex vehicle.The moment the W16 engine of the red-black Bugatti Veyron ignited was almost no different from its coronation—every other car in the showroom dulled in comparison in its presence.The car itself could well be a re
At the rate Mona was eating, Aion Fairfax would not need divination to see that it was impossible for them to afford her food bills."Haha, it's fine—It's fine." Carol was most pleased to see Mona eat so much and quickly cooked more food, with Nash Yego helping.As everyone slid their food to Mona, she accepted all comers, wolfing down everything blissfully.One really had to wonder how she fit all that food in her tiny body. It was as if her stomach was a black hole, and no bucket of rice made a single difference."Wait, she is going to be the next chief of the Haply Hall, and her geomantics skills are slowly awakening…"Frank frowned in thought, vaguely realizing then why Mona was such a glutton.-At Zamri Hospital two days later, an elderly man with white sideburns was staring at his daughter worriedly in the ICU."You don't have to worry about the money, Dad," Lydia assured her father, Aaron Kinley, holding his hand and pursing her lips as she held back tears. "I had the l
"Dad…"Lydia did a double take but hung her head and sighed. "He's someone from a completely different world. He saved Gene Pearce and is a martial artist, while I'm just a car sales girl. I'm not the right girl for him.""Hehe…" Aaron chuckled. "But you ran into each other by chance, twice . What is that if not fate? And if fate is on your side, you should at least give it a try… Whether it works is another thing entirely." "Okay," Lydia nodded at her father's words, before checking her watch. "I need to get back to work, dad. I'll be going to Mr. Lawrence's house to finalize the paperwork.""Good. Run along now." Aaron smiled, adding, "And don't forget what I told you.""Yeah." Lydia smiled in wry amusement, taking the note with Frank's address out of her briefcase.Melancholy showed on her face—she would certainly like to get to know Frank better, but cruel reality made it clear that she did not deserve him.After asking around, she learned that Lanecorp's chairwoman and the
Claude's voice turned sinisterly cold, and he punched the wall as he chuckled coolly. "You have half an hour, Lydia. If you don't show up at Zamri Hospital, your father and his hospital bed would be thrown out. Just watch!"Beep…Lydia was at once terrified and anxious as Claude hung up on her.If she really did not go to the hospital, Claude might really come good on his threat!Still, just as Lydia rushed to the hospital, Frank was just stepping out of Winter's office.He had come to check up on her, as well as offering her and Abel Loggins some insight on unusual medical cases and atypical illness.Staying holed up at Zamri Hospital had been rewarding for Abel, and he was once again rejoicing that he was right in choosing Frank as his mentor.The man was young, but his knowledge, skill, and experience were far beyond his years.In fact, he was even brazenly asking Frank if he could practice martial arts despite his age.After all, most of the advanced medical skills require
"But what you did is really asking for it." Claude laughed even as shoved his ankle harder on Aaron's leg.The old man screamed even more loudly and sweated buckets all over his face.Even so, he showed grit as he never once begged for mercy."That's enough!" Winter had had enough as she looked on, striding into the ICU and glowering as she snapped, "What do you think you're doing here? Is the hospital a place where you bully women?!""Oh?" While Claude was surprised by the door suddenly opening, his eyes lit up when he turned and came to his senses.The girl standing there was wearing a clean white coat over a black shirt and a pair of slim cut pants. Though she appeared angry, her righteous indignation appeared to brighten her expression.In fact, Claude almost started drooling when he saw Winter—she was no national beauty like Helen and the others, but she was still the most beautiful in her university. Her face was the type one would not forget, and a pervert like Claud
Claude continued gloating. "You don't know the unwritten rules in this hospital since you just started out, right? Just ask my brother-in-law—he earns millions just by bringing in every medical machinery here. "And what can you earn as a doctor in comparison? Join me, and once I recommend you to him, you'll soon be driving a BMW once you get in on the action."However, that only struck Winter with realization, and she lowered her head as she muttered to herself, "So that's why the numbers and prices of the latest batch of machines purchased by the inpatient department just didn't fit!"If Jet Quaid were there and heard his brother-in-law bringing to light everything he did, he would slap Claude twice in fury! Talk about family misfortune!"Well, thank you for providing that information."Claude was once again surprised that Winter was not caving, even pointing at him and snapping, "Now I'm warning you twice—get off that patient, or I'm calling security!""Huh?!"Claude got im
Seeing that Lydia was panicking, Winter assured her, "You don't have to worry about the cost."Then, turning toward Claude, she continued, "The one who hurt the patient will pay, along with additional damages."Claude's smirk stiffened, and he soon scowled hostilely. "You brat! Are you saying I'll be paying?!""Are you refusing?" Winter shot back coolly and bluntly."Hehe… Don't you think you're pushing your luck, kiddo?"Claude was really angered as Winter was not listening at all, leaving him embarrassed.Forget Lydia—even his bodyguards were here, and he had never embarrassed himself like this before!That was when Winter continued impassively, "Trust me, you'll be on your knees, begging me to let you pay."Claude was taken aback. He flew into a rage as he hollered, "What, just because you asked?! Dream on! Go get her right now, boys—me, going down on my knees?! I'll show her!"At Claude's orders, the bodyguards' eyes flashed dangerously as they charged at Winter."Mona!"
