Chapter 168
Joshua looked straight ahead while talking as he dared not make eye contact with Donald.
At that moment, Gideon's expression darkened once again. How many times have I been humiliated today?Also, how can Joshua disregard the Campbell clan's deterrence and come over to wish an abandoned individual from the Campbell clan a happy birthday? Is he not afraid of losing his future?
In response, Raymond got up and shook Joshua's hand courteously. “Sure, Mr.
Green. Go ahead.”
Following Joshua's departure, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and looked at their watches. It's already almost eleven. Aside from Sixten and the people with him, no one will come here anymore. Right?
While they were pondering, a series of clacking sounds generated by high heels sounded.
Instantly, the over-sensitive people shifted their gazes toward the door in unison.
It was a tall and slender woman in a gown. She had a cold expression presently.
Thanks to her current attire, her beautiful legs were on full display. Moreover, she was wearing a pink bag over her shoulder. As she had a deadpan countenance, one might think she was born expressionless.
She seemed like a woman who had no interest in anything other than studying and learning.
That woman was none other than Hannah.
At the mere age of twenty-eight, Hannah was a medical professor, a visiting professor at Pliston University, and a double-degree doctorate holder.
On top of that, she had published ten theses in the world's top medical science journal— Aesculapius.
One must realize that such a journal was known as “The Nobel Prize” in the medical world. For ordinary medical professors, publishing a single thesis in that journal was impossible in their entire lifetime, let alone ten.
However, Hannah managed to complete ten theses on her own.
“Old Mr. Campbell.” Hannah paid obeisance to Raymond.
In the meantime, the members of the Campbell family had varying expressions while watching everything that was occurring with narrowed eyes.
There were feelings of puzzlement, admiration, and last but not least, jealousy.
What in the world is going on today ? Has Raymond been in a decadent state for the past ten-plus years'? Or has he still been operating everything in secret? If the first statement is true, how should one explain the numerous aristocrats from Pollerton that came to give him wishes for his birthday today? On the other hand, why are there no actions from the Campbell clan if he's still operating everything? Everyone knows that a century-old affluent family will always stand their ground!
As for Gideon, his current expression was temperamental. Shortly afterward, he looked toward Donald and wondered if everything was the latter's doing.
It did not take long before he shook his head as he perceived that it was impossible. Donald could not even come up with the six-hundred-thousand medical fee back then! Michael can attest to that since Donald called to borrow money!Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Perhaps feeling it would be too cliche, Hannah did not bring along any gifts. She then walked over to Donald and stood beside him while remaining silent.
I knew it! She has something to do with Donald, too! Derrick's countenance turned ferocious when he saw Hannah standing beside Donald.
All the while, Derrick had been looking at Donald condescendingly. I have two sets of houses, and I'm also the tuner of Donter Pictures with a monthly salary of over ten thousand. How about Donald? He's only a security guard! Yet, why are there so many women who like him? As though that isn't enough, those are beautiful and outstanding women!
Not long after, Gideon's eyelids twitched as the sound of footsteps echoed again.
It was Jennifer.
She was wearing a white dress and a pair of black stiletto heels on that day. Along with her fair skin, she had a gentle aura.
The second he saw her, Winston widened his eyes.
He had that reaction because he had always liked Jennifer.
“Today's your birthday, Grandpa. I apologize for not preparing much. This sweater is for you.” Jennifer took out a sweater from her bag before continuing, “I knitted it myself.”
When Jennifer took out that gift, those present could not help but look toward Wynter. Jennifer had knitted a sweater, whereas Wynter had knitted two scarves.
“You're here, Jenny.” Raymond broke into a wide grin as soon as he saw Jennifer.
Whether it was Wynter, Hannah, or the others showing up, Raymond did not express much delight.
However, everyone could see the happiness on his face once Jennifer appeared.
