When Sean noticed his father’s unwavering conviction that Charlie possessed more Rejuvenation Pills, he looked at Donald and asked, “Dad, are you really nning to hunt down Charlie and plead with him for a Rejuvenation Pill?”
“Exactly,” Donald affirmed with a slight nod. “You’ll join meter, and I’ll apologize to Charlie on your behalf. After that, you’ll kneel down and ask for his forgiveness. Once that’s done, I’ll take the chance to request a Rejuvenation Pill from him.”
Sean’s face reflected deep concern as he replied, “So, you want me to kneel before him, apologize, and admit my mistakes? Then, you’ll use that moment to ask him for the pill?”
Donald shot Sean a sharp look and inquired, “Are you questioning my n?”
Startled by his father’s intense gaze, Sean quickly waved his hand, saying, “No… I have no objections!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Pleased, Donald nodded and remarked, “As I’ve always said, a man must be as adaptable as possible. If your kneeling doesn’t work, I’ll kneel too. Anything for that Rejuvenation Pill! Is there anything in this world more valuable than life itself?”
“Well…” Sean realized his father waspletely captivated by the allure of the Rejuvenation Pill, and he understood that any further argument would be pointless at this stage.
As the father and son made their way back into the banquet hall, Charlie had already dismissed the crowd surrounding him.
With the birthday banquet on the verge of starting, Charlie scanned the table he was seated at and noticed two empty chairs that were supposed to be for Anthony and his granddaughter, X.
A sense of unease crept over Charlie as he questioned if something had gone awry.<fn1904> Content originallyes from Find1Novel</fn1904>
Knowing Anthony to be punctual and reliable, Charlie found it unusual for him to bete.
Concerned, Charlie immediately pulled out his cell phone and called Anthony.
The call connected almost instantly, but it was X who answered.
“Wade… Master Wade…”
X’s tone was tinged with nervousness and distress.
Charlie quickly asked, “X? Where is your grandfather? Why aren’t both of you at Lord Moore’s eightieth birthday celebration?”
X responded, her voiceced with frustration, “Master Wade, my grandfather’s clinic has been vandalized and destroyed! He’s currently busy cleaning up the mess. We might not make it to the banquet today. He didn’t want to inform you or Lord Moore about this, fearing it would dampen the mood…”
Charlie’s mind raced as he questioned who would dare to attack the renowned Dr. Simmons’ clinic.
“Who did this?” he pressed.
X replied, “It was the father and son from the Webb family in Sudbury! They wanted my grandfather toe to their home to treat Kian’s illness. But since my grandfather believes Kian is a vile person who deserves his fate, he refused. That’s when they sent their men to smash and ruin his clinic!”
Charlie’s expression darkened upon hearing X’s ount.
So it was the doing of Donald and his son?
Rage surged within Charlie as he asked, “Are you and your grandfather hurt in any way?”
X quickly assured him, “No, I wasn’t at the clinic when it happened. It was already a wreck when I returned, and the Webb family had left with their men. My grandfather is fine; only the clinic suffered.”
Relieved to hear they were safe, Charlie said, “X, please tell your grandfather that I will take care of this situation.”
After ending the call, Charlie’s face hardened with determination.
The Webb family had be exceedingly arrogant, showing no restraint even in Aurous Hill. Charlie couldn’t believe they had the audacity to destroy Anthony’s medical practice.
