Trevor Sherman leaned back in his chair and pressed his forehead with his hand.
He felt exhausted after experiencing so many of these things.
Why were there so many gold-digging women in the world?
He wished he could meet a kind, pure girl who wasn’t after money.
But…
Could he still meet one?
Trevor opened his eyes and looked out the window.
A moment later, Trevor continued, “Okay, I got it.”
Soon after.
The car stopped in front of a luxurious villa.
Trevor got out of the car.
Inside the villa.
Mrs. Sherman had her legs crossed, sitting on the sofa watching TV. Hearing the noise outside, she glanced out the window, “You’re back.”
“Grandma.’
Trevor took off his suit and handed it to a servant.
“Did you eat?” Mrs. Sherman asked without taking her eyes off the TV.
“l ate.”
Trevor sat down next to Mrs. Sherman.
At this moment, Mrs. Sherman sniffed her nose, “Why is there a smell of blood? Are you hurt?”
“Yes.” Trevor squinted, “l fell for those old guys’ traps.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Sherman finally turned her head to look at Trevor, frowning, “I’ve told you many times to keep a low profile, but you just won’t listen! This time it’s just a minor injury, but one day you won’t even be able to protect your own legs.”
As the sole heir of Su Corporation, Trevor had been targeted by countless people over the years.
However, he always acted recklessly.
Trevor didn’t say anything.
Mrs. Sherman paused the TV and turned to look at Trevor, “I’ve arranged a blind date for you.”
Hearing this, Trevor frowned slightly and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Mrs. Sherman, “Shut up! Don’t say you don’t want to go. I don’t want to hear it.’
“l understand.” Faced with Mrs. Sherman, Trevor had no choice but to bow his head.
Mrs. Sherman continued, “Tomorrow at half past ten in the morning, at the Meeting Café. The other party is the second daughter of the White family. She is 21 years old, a returnee from abroad, and has a good appearance. You two can become friends first.’
After a thought, Trevor looked at Mrs. Sherman, “Grandma, I want to find someone who truly loves me.”
A love unrelated to money or power.
He wanted to have genuine love.
“Well, go find it then,” Mrs. Sherman scoffed, “Don’t you know you’re already a 33-year-old bachelor?”
Old bachelor?
Trevor pinched his temples, “I don’t want someone who’s just after my money.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Sherman ‘tsk’ed, “M/hat, you think you’re the only one with some money? Let me tell you, there are plenty of young, beautiful, and wealthy female entrepreneurs now. Don’t always think you’re the only rich person in the world!”
Her grandson was all good, except for being too arrogant and lacking self-awareness.
Trevor kept silent, not wanting to upset his elderly grandmother.
His parents had passed away early, and Mrs. Sherman had raised him single-handedly. He was well aware of her difficulties, so he never did anything to defy her.
After all, when children want to provide and their parents are no longer around.
Mrs. Sherman sighed, “Trevor, you shouldn’t have so many prejudices against girls nowadays. In fact, there are many good girls.”
“Grandma, you don’t really understand them,” said Trevor. “If I were poor and powerless, do you think they’d still come after me? Have you ever met a truly good girl?”
Seeing so many upsetting things made him pessimistic.
Mrs. Sherman looked at Trevor, “Who says I haven’t? The last girl who saved me wasn’t money-driven, and most importantly, she was incredibly beautiful, like a goddess! As for you, you’re not worthy of her.”
Trevor just smiled without saying anything.
Beauty was nothing more than a skin-deep appearance.
He had seen many of both beauty and the beast combinations, and pear blossoms pressed by begonia trees.**
Doctor’s residence.
Old Doctor Bruce thought of the recent rumors and turned to look at Elizabeth
Thompson, “Elizabeth, did you heal Edith Bennett’s face?”
Elizabeth Thompson was somewhat surprised, “Master, why would you ask such a question?”
She and Edith Bennett were not close at all.
Old Doctor Bruce continued, ‘Elizabeth, don’t hide it from your master. I’ve heard that there’s an incredibly skilled female Divine Doctor with the last name Thompson in River City recently. Moreover, after you treated Edith Bennett’s face, the Bennett Clan recommended you to the Knight Family.”
At these words, a faint glimmer flashed in Elizabeth Thompson’s lowered eyes.
“Master is asking you, are you treating Miss Knight now?”
Elizabeth Thompson nodded.
Old Doctor Bruce smiled, “As expected, the new generation surpasses the old. I am very pleased with your performance!”
His apprentice was so outstanding, and it made Old Doctor Bruce proud as well.
The crucial point was that Elizabeth Thompson was not only exceptionally skilled, but also remarkably modest. If he hadn’t asked persistently, he wouldn’t have known that Elizabeth Thompson was indeed the Divine Doctor Miss Thompson.
Elizabeth Thompson said indifferently, “Master, there is still much I need to learn from you.”
Old Doctor Bruce looked at Elizabeth Thompson with satisfaction.
Bian Que’s school had a promising successor.
On the other side.
Viola Thompson was shopping with her cat in her arms.
She had scheduled a movie date with Fiona Knight and Diana Hershey.
At that moment, the cat in her arms suddenly jumped out and began sprinting forward.
“Mantou!’!
Viola Thompson immediately chased after it.
The usually lazy and obese cat had become agile, swiftly weaving through the crowd. No matter how fast Viola Thompson ran, she couldn’t catch up.
The next second.
‘Bang!’
Viola Thompson collided directly into a human wall.
Through the thin layer of clothing, she could clearly feel the solid abdominal muscles, strong and powerful, and a cool minty breath mixed with a faint tobacco scent that caused her heart to race involuntarily.
“I’m sorry!’
Realizing she had bumped into someone, Viola Thompson immediately took a step back and apologized quickly.
“It’s fine.” The man’s voice was low and magnetic, a sound that was irresistibly attractive to those obsessed with voices.
Apart from being pleasant to the ear, it was also somewhat familiar.
Viola Thompson looked up and saw a pair of exquisite phoenix eyes slightly upturned, a tall, knife-carved nose, and thin lips pressed into a straight line. It was a face that was flawlessly perfect no matter how you looked at it.
Wasn’t this her…cheap fiancé?
“Mr. Lentz.” Viola Thompson smiled faintly, “What a coincidence.”
“It is quite a coincidence.”
At that moment, Viola Thompson remembered something and continued, can’t chat with you now. I’m occupied.”
“Is there anything I can help with?” Terrence Lentz asked.
“I’m looking for my cat; you probably can’t help with that.”
Terrence Lentz’s thin lips slightly parted, “I’ve loved small animals since I was a child, and I have a strong bond with them. Cats and dogs love to rub against me. Add me on WhatsApp, and if I see it, I’ll let you know on WhatsApp.”
“Alright.” Viola Thompson nodded slightly, took out her phone, and added Terrence Lentz to her WhatsApp.
After adding him on WhatsApp, Viola Thompson continued searching for her cat.
Terrence Lentz looked at his phone with a gentle smile curving his lips, appearing even more attractive than before, like the melting of ice and the revival of all living things.
