Chapter 121 “$200,000? Ah, that's a huge amount of money. Where can I get such money from?” Cordelia said with a shaky voice. “I'm sorry, ma'am but that's what we can take for his treatment.” Cordelia was silent for some moment, feeling torn to pieces from the current state of things that were currently burning her up; she managed to respond. “Alright, please start the treatment on him. I'll make a deposit of $50,000 today.” She stated without knowing when the rest of the money was going to be completed. And with that, the call ended. Her mother, Sandra, who only heard Cordelia's responses without hearing that of the doctor, looked at Cordelia immediately after the call ended and asked, “What did the doctor say? Is Paul getting any better?” Her face was overlaid with worry. But Cordelia didn't answer her a word. Meanwhile, Michael entered the grand office, which exuded wealth much more than his. This was Mr. John Lewis’ office. He smiled as he saw Franklin and Uncle J
Chapter 122 Although he wasn't happy, he then asked, “Do you know where she stays and whether she's still single?” John nodded his head in an instant. “I heard she's married to a man named Miller White. I just want to see my daughter even if it's only once. Just once.” John's voice was filled with frustration as he requested. “Michael, please do me this favor. Help me find her no matter how long it will take you.” Michael, on the other hand, was taken aback after he heard John mentioned Miller White. His whole face was filled with confusion as he processed deeply in his head. In the process, he didn't know when he echoed, “Cordelia?” John instantly stopped crying and wiped his face. His expression was that of curiosity. “Cordelia?” He frowned a bit, knowing that he never mentioned such a name. “Who's Cordelia you're talking about?” He asked. Immediately Michael waved off the whole thing. “It's nothing. However, I promise to get her for you.” Michael assured. John said, “
Chapter 123 Meanwhile, Michael stood outside, and when he saw a cab, he stopped it and went inside. “Please, take me to a downtown restaurant!” He ordered and the driver began to drive. But at some point, the driver looked through the rearview and said, “Ah, at the current situation of the economy and you're going to the downtown restaurant? You must really be rich.” The driver smiled lightly. Michael smiled, too, at the driver's words. Indeed, he's extremely rich, not just rich. However, he pretended and asked, “Why do you say so?” “That's because I have heard a lot about it. How expensive their meals are. Even the Wagyfu that's been prepared at home with just $20 is costing $300 there.” “Oh, I never knew things were so cheap there,” Michael said, and the driver was stunned. He became quiet, focusing on the driving. Michael chuckled to himself after saying that. He wasn't at that moment strong enough for any conversation. Suddenly, his stomach began to rumble which
Chapter 124 “Let's go inside, you'll love everything that you see here.” His voice filled with pride and assurance. Jennifer nodded her head and linked her hand with Morgan's as they walked inside. The atmosphere of the restaurant was alluring. Immediately they entered inside, the hostess approached them, greeted them, and humbly took them to a vacant table. “Please, sit, ma'am.” She bowed her head slightly, gesturing toward a chair that was made of golden wood. Jennifer returned her kind gesture with a nod and sat, feeling renewed. The place was indeed nice just as Morgan had described to her. Morgan took a seat opposite her and smiled at her. “You love it, don't you?” He asked, looking around. “It's a nice place and their meals are the best.” Immediately, a waiter rushed over to their table with a warm and welcomed smile, handing two menus to both of them as he waited for them to make their order. Morgan was the first to scan through the meal and he gulped instantl
Chapter 125 “Stand up quickly!” Michael said, glancing around to see that no one was watching. “What are you doing here? Did you accompany Grandma Isabella here?” He asked after his bodyguard stood up. The bodyguard shook his head and replied, “No, sir. It's Madam Rose and Sir Fred that drove down here. They are inside the restaurant having lunch together.” Michael looked at him, his expression full of anger and annoyance. Before he assigned the bodyguard to be Grandma Isabella's driver, he had warned him not to let anyone drive in it. He became so angry that he slapped the driver, “What did I tell you? Didn't I give you a strict warning not to allow anyone to drive in this car? Or do you want me to fire you?” He shot at the driver. “Please, sir. Don't sack me, I promise that it won't happen again. It was an order from Grandma Isabella that I followed.” The driver replied with his hand on his cheek. Michael was quiet for some time before he said with a cold expression. “Ju
Chapter 126 He finally stood on his feet and said to Rose, “Wait here, I'll be back.” Rose only nodded while she watched him leave, heading to where Michael and Morgan were exchanging words with each other. “I was literally wondering what you have come here to do, but I clearly can see you have no good purpose for coming here, but to cause trouble,” Fred said, looking disgusted. Michael frowned at him but remained silent. And Fred continued. “Why would they allow someone like you to enter this place? This place isn't for people like you and you should know it.” He added. Michael giggled. “This place isn't up to my standard. I just decided to give it a taste and that's all. I can equally buy this whole place if I actually want to.” He said. Morgan, Fred, and Jennifer laughed. And Jennifer said, “Really?” She paused. “And you aren't even dressed nicely?” “He's just cracking us up and I'm enjoying his company here. I think this is the reason he came here– to make us have
Chapter 127 “How dare you come to my restaurant and cause a whole mess like this? Huh?” He held Fred's collar and pulled him to himself angrily. “Were you blind to see that this place isn't a place to fight or cause trouble?” He instantly left Fred's collar and held his throat. He was trying to take life out of Fred. Fred struggled to speak; his breath went straight inside of him, and he could feel life going out of him. Finally, he managed to say, “Let go of me.” He pushed Isaac backward and began to gasp for air. Isaac staggered back after the push but was held back by his bodyguards, whose faces instantly turned furious. Rose hurried to Fred's side and panicked. Her face was plastered with fear and worry, “Fred, are you okay?” She asked, holding him firmly in her arms. Fred weakly nodded his head and replied in a fast breath, “I'm fine…” He stammered, trying to regain himself. Rose instantly raised her head and glared at Michael, furious. She stood on her feet and ap
Chapter 128 However, to everyone's shock and dismay, the driver reluctantly shook his head in disapproval. “I'm sorry but I can't go.” He said, his voice carrying firmness. “What did you just say? You're not going? Why?” Maria asked, angry. The driver firmly nodded his head and replied, “That's because no one of you is allowed to drive in the car except for Grandma Isabella. I'm sorry but I can't go.” Although, Maria and Joseph had found the driver's words to be some joking type but it rather was too serious. Joseph's jaw tightened, but since he had always wanted to drive in this car to impress his friends, he smiled, knowing that this might be his opportunity to do so since the driver was refusing to drive them. His anger faltered for a moment. “Don't bother yourself, Mom,” Joseph said, “I'll drive instead since he isn't fit. Perhaps, he might be feeling weak or so.” He said as if he knew the driver's condition. He then turned and said to the driver, “Handle over the key to
