âWhat are you doing?â Yosef was furious.
He was simply punched in the stomach.
Shirley acted like a b*tch. âDad! How dare you hit my dad?
âWeâre famous doctors from Beth City. You hillbillies...â
Smack...
A bodyguard came forward and slapped Shirley to shut her up.
Yosef, Shirley, and Samuel had just been chased out of the Wright family home, with everyone watching, when they heard hurried footsteps.
âDad!â
âWhatâs happened to my dad? Iâm sorry Iâm late!â
âBoohoo, Leanneâs priority now is to call a shareholdersâ meeting and decide the head of the Wright Consortium...â
âWright Consortium cannot go a day without a leader!â
Two middle-aged men, who looked about forty, rushed into the courtyard.
Clarence was a little surprised. The two men appeared to be Thompsonâs sons.
The two sons had only shown up after Thompson had almost died from everything that had just happened.
Did they want to hold a shareholdersâ meeting as soon as they showed up?
Interesting!
Leanne looked coldly at her older brothers. âDadâs alright now. Why hold a shareholdersâ meeting?
âDadâs not even dead, and you want to seize power from him?â
âThompsonâs alright?â
Jerald and Julian Wrightâs expressions changed slightly, looking slightly disappointed before bursting into laughter. âHaha, I knew Dad was going to be alright.â
âDadâs really lucky!â
âLeanne, what are you talking about? That sounds so horrible. What do you mean by seizing power?â
âWe came here in such a hurry. Iâm so glad Dadâs okay.â
Clarence looked at Jerald and Julian. They were breathing steadily and did not seem to have been in a hurry.
It was like they waited a long time before timing their arrival here perfectly.
âHmph!â
Leanne snorted coldly. Her gaze fell on Clarence, and she asked respectfully, âMaster Howard, how is my dad doing?â
Clarence smiled. âOld Master Wrightâs fine. Heâll recover in less than a month, as long as he takes his medicine.â
âHow much time does my dad have left?â That was what Leanne was most worried about.
Clarence said lightly, âOld Master Wright is in good health. He could live another ten years if nothing else happens.â
âReally?â Leanne was instantly overjoyed.
There was an imperceptible chill within the depths of Jeraldâs and Julianâs eyes.
Leanne spoke again. âMaster Howard, please move to the living room.
âWeâll hold a banquet at once, and there will be a reward!â
Clarence shook his head gently. âNo thanks. Take good care of Old Master Wright. He needs rest now.
âIâm going back to Thirteen Hall first. Let me know if you need anything.â
Leanne stopped insisting after hearing that. She knew where Thirteen Hall was, anyway. She could always visit Thirteen Hall and see Clarence if Thompson had another accident.
âMaster Howard, please take this.â Leanne stepped forward and slipped what looked like an access card into Clarenceâs hand.
âWhatâs this?â
Clarence looked at the gilded card in his hand. It had a vivid gold dragon logo.
On the front of the card was written the words âDragon Soarâ.
There was also a serial number â1â on it.
Leanne said with a smile, âItâs the key to Dragon Soar Heightsâ Villa One.
âIâll have someone change the owner info.
âDragon Soar Heightsâ Villa One is yours from now on, Master Howard.â
Jerald and Julian looked jealous. They had asked the Old Master for Dragon Soar Heightsâ Villa One many times, but he had never given it to them.
Now, he was giving it to Clarence, who had nothing to do with them?
âDragon Soar Heights?â
Clarence was a little surprised.
Dragon Soar Heights was the largest estate project for the rich in Mediterranean City, with Tomson Riviera, Jade Garden, and other real estate projects within it.
The villas in Dragon Soar Heights were even more shocking.
Legend had it that there were one hundred villas in Dragon Soar Heightsâ core region.
Villa 100 was sold for one hundred million.
The price of Villa One was as high as a horrible billion!
The access card in his hand was for Dragon Soar Heightsâ Villa One?
âYes, Mr. Howard. Itâs yours now.â Leanne nodded earnestly.
Clarence accepted the access card bluntly.
If he did not take it, Leanne would probably think he was insatiable and wanted more.
On the way back, Clarence took the wheel, while Cecilia sat in the passenger seat.
Suddenly, Cecilia sighed, âClarence, stop interacting with the Wright family. Itâs a vortex. Donât get caught up in it.â
Clarence frowned. âCecilia, do you think Jerald and Julian want their father dead too?â
âYou noticed that?â Cecilia was somewhat surprised.
Clarence laughed wryly. âCecilia, Iâm not an idiot.â
Cecilia narrowed her eyes. âJerald controls a third of the Wright familyâs businesses and Tomlake Heights.
âTomlake Heights has a membership system, and many Mediterranean Cityâs dignitaries are its members.
âJulianâs a member of the Martial Arts Association and vice president of the Mediterranean City branch.
âThe brothers have been fighting openly, secretly wanting to inherit the Wright family!
âYou also know that the Wright family is one of the top three families in Mediterranean City. The identity, status, and power that comes with being the owner of the Wright family is unimaginable.
âIf Old Master Wright had died today, one of the brothers would be inheriting the Wright family!
âI got the feeling that Jerald and Julian were upset with you after you saved Old Master Wright.
âItâs complicated!
âAny heirs of companies worth billions or tens of billions of dollars could organize assassinations, poisoning, and car accidents. More so for the Wright family, which is worth tens of billions.
âIf you get involved, youâll be eaten down to the bone!â
Cecilia warned Clarence about this all earnestly. She was worried about him.
She was also worried that Clarence would succumb to the Wright familyâs temptation.
He had accepted a billion-dollar villa today. What if there was something of higher value tomorrow?
Clarence smiled faintly. âDonât worry, Cecilia. I wonât.â
Rather than inherit a multi-trillion dollar super consortium, he was choosing to stay in Mediterranean City.
How could the Wright family get Clarence involved in their business?
âItâs good that you wonât.â Cecilia gave Clarence a meaningful glance.
Just then, Clarenceâs eyebrow twitched. He realized a dump truck in the next lane had skidded. The steering wheel turned, and it was heading for Ceciliaâs car.
The cars in front of Clarence turned the steering wheel to move to the side lane to avoid the dump truck.
The sound of brakes was heard, and countless passers-by fled for safety.
Clarence drifted and avoided the dump truck.
However, the out-of-control dump truck seemed to have targeted Clarence and turned its head around to head for him.
âIs it heading for me?â
The thought flashed through Clarenceâs mind.
The dump truck had rushed over.. It crushed the sports car Clarence was driving with a violent clang.
