The Luckiest Dumb Doctor - Chapter 150:
Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Joy for All 1
Sister Lan said without turning her head, “Haven’t you noticed that Taylor has been coming home more often lately?”
“Huh, now that you mention it… that’s true, but why?” Chestor Ware said, clueless.
Turning around, Sister Lan looked at Chestor Ware with his goofy expression and chuckled, “Could it be possible that all of Taylor’s unusual behavior is for one person?”
“For one person? Who?”
“Saying that you’re thick-headed, you still feel uneasy. Think for yourself, who’s coming today.”
“Who else could it be, isn’t it just Greg Jensen and those few…”
Chestor Ware’s expression stalled, and then he suddenly realized, exclaiming, “She really likes Greg?”
“Isn’t it obvious? You’re the only one who can’t see it, being her dad and all.”
“Oh no, what should we do?”
Chestor Ware panicked at once, feeling as if the cabbage he had raised for more than twenty years was about to be rooted up by a pig—and not just any pig, but one that rooted several cabbages.
“Let them figure it out themselves.”
“I…”
Chestor Ware felt so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood, but he was completely out of options.
Was he supposed to tell his daughter that Greg was a bastard and that she couldn’t be with him?
He had been praising Greg every day at home, saying he was handsome, capable, and of good character. To say the opposite now would be like slapping his own face, wouldn’t it?
“Alright, stop annoying me and go check the entrance. Don’t wait until they arrive and you’re still hanging around the kitchen.”
“Alright, I got it.”
Chestor Ware seemed to have aged a decade in an instant as he left, looking downcast.
Just then, there was the sound of a car outside.
Shortly after, Greg Jensen and Norman Holmes, among others, came in.
Both were naturally very happy, about to receive a large sum of money soon.
However, as soon as they entered the house, they saw Chestor Ware coming out with a dark expression on his face.
Greg felt puzzled and asked, “Bro Ware, what’s the matter with you?”
“Yes, on such a joyous occasion, why the long face?”
Norman Holmes also found it strange and teased, “Is it because you finally got the money but can’t bear to part with it?”
“How could that be?”
Chestor Ware forced an ugly smile, “Come on in, please.”
Once seated, Norman Holmes, full of excitement, started talking to Chestor Ware.
He was also planning to switch careers and sought advice on business matters from Chestor Ware.
Chestor Ware answered patiently, but his gaze kept drifting towards Greg, not hiding his displeasure.
Greg, completely baffled, couldn’t figure out what was happening.
He scrutinized Chestor Ware’s face, and while Norman Holmes was in the restroom, asked softly, “Did you overwork yourself last night, bro?”
“Uh…”
Chestor Ware, who was about to blow his top, suddenly turned red and started stammering, unable to speak.
Greg grinned, handed over an energy-boosting pill, and said knowingly, “Scrape off about one gram, dissolve it in water, and drink it.
Don’t drink too much, once a day is good, do it for seven days straight.”
“Oh, alright. You’re thoughtful, bro Greg, thanks.”
Chestor Ware’s eyes lit up, and he hastily took it. Then he suddenly realized something wasn’t right, and though he wanted to put on the cold face he had earlier, he felt somewhat embarrassed.
At that moment, Norman Holmes came back and seeing Chestor Ware with a smile on his face, casually said, “Yo, President Ware, feeling better?”
“Yeah, better, haha.”
Chestor Ware smiled and was about to continue speaking when Taylor Ware came down from upstairs.
She glanced at Greg Jensen, said nothing, rummaged through the cupboard next to her, and muttered, “Hey, where did I put that thing?”
Chestor Ware’s face darkened again, suppressing the frustration in his heart, and cheerfully asked, “Taylor, what are you looking for? Let Daddy help you find it?”
“I don’t need you, I can find it myself.”
As Taylor spoke, she glanced at Greg again, then returned to her room.
Before Chestor could breathe a sigh of relief, she came out of her room and began searching again next to them.
What was more outrageous was that she had deliberately changed into a set of provocative clothes.
Chester’s eyes were practically shooting fire as he said to Greg and Norman
Holmes, “Let’s go sit in the study.”
“Sure.”
Chestor gave his daughter another glare and led Greg and the other man to the study.
This time, his mood finally improved significantly, and he started chatting and laughing with the two.
A little while later, Augustus Wolfe and the others also arrived.
The terms had already been negotiated, the contract prepared; they quickly scanned the document and signed their names.
A phone call was made, and the money was quickly transferred into Chestor Ware’s account on the other end.
Chestor then wrote two checks, one for Greg and the other for Norman Holmes.
Greg looked down at the number on it, managing to remain composed on the outside while inside he was overwhelmingly excited.
Eight million four hundred thousand!
Kenny Walker’s total assets were twenty-eight million, and thirty percent was exactly eight million four hundred thousand!
Greg had never seen so much money in his life.
He couldn’t help but inwardly reflect that, although the “Immortal Cultivation Method” could not turn stone into gold, it could still make a fortune.
This time he had truly struck it rich!
With the eight million four hundred thousand, plus the nearly two million he already had, Greg now had over ten million in cash.
And that didn’t even include fixed assets like the hotel shares, the vegetable store, the herbal medicine base, and the herbal medicine company.
If those were taken into account, his net worth would only be higher.
The money needed to open a hotel in the city was finally secured.
Looking at it this way, Kenny Walker’s death had indeed found its worth.
At that moment, Norman Holmes suddenly leaned over and said, “Brother
Greg, thank you. If it weren’t for you…”
He had indeed been fighting Kenny Walker for a long time and, in fact, hadn’t provided much help to Greg. Instead, it was Greg who saved his life and even personally took out Kenny Walker.
In other words, Kenny Walker’s fortune was hardly related to him.
Even if it were related, there was no way he could’ve gotten so much money.
Because of this, he felt a deep sense of gratitude toward Greg.
Greg laughed, “Since we’re brothers, let’s not make such clear distinctions.
Isn’t what’s yours mine as well?”
“Haha, that’s true…”
Norman Holmes laughed joyfully. Now that Greg’s status in Riverhaven County was even higher than Kenny Walker’s had been, Norman felt extremely honored to have become his friend.
The meeting ended with everyone obtaining what they wanted. Those wealthy businessmen acquired the desired enterprises, which would allow them to make a fortune in the future.
Chestor Ware and Norman Holmes, apart from receiving a significant amount of money, had also deepened their friendship with Greg.
But Greg was the biggest winner of the meeting, having secured a whole eight million four hundred thousand in cash.
With that money, he could now open a new hotel in the city, and after six months, use the newly acquired capital to open another hotel.
In this way, Greg’s business would grow larger and larger.
After leaving the Ware household, he went to the Reverie Inn to discuss with Lois Abbott the details of opening a hotel in the city.
