Chapter 3: The Low-key Nature of the Wealthy
2040 Words
Edwin was speechless, he looked down at his appearance, and smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, I made an appointment with someone."
Jodie's expression became very unnatural when she heard this, and she yelled with disgust and disdain, "You, a poor guy, would have an appointment at our Imperial Club? Are you kidding me? Go away, don't bother us!"
With that, she coldly glared at Edwin, the mockery in her eyes was unpleasant.
Edwin frowned slightly, and still politely said, "I indeed made an appointment, there's something urgent, please excuse me."
After speaking, Edwin raised his steps and walked towards the main hall.
Immediately, Jodie became anxious, she grabbed Edwin's clothes and scolded, "What's wrong with you? This is the Imperial Club, where only wealthy people with millions of assets can come! Who do you think you are? Can you make an appointment with such any boss?"
She was really angry!
What a garbage, daring to intrude into the Imperial Club!
Edwin felt a chill in the corner of his eye. Just as he was about to explain, a skeptical rebuke sounded from beside him.
"What's going on? You’re making a scene like this, how disgraceful!"
Approaching them was a man in his thirties, dressed in a neatly tailored black checkered suit. He wore a manager's badge on his chest, and his slicked-back hair shone, accentuated by gold-rimmed glasses. He looked every bit the elite.
"Manager Huxley, you finally came. This poor sod barged into our club!"
Jodie immediately pouted and stomped her foot, causing the peaks and valleys before her to tremble, igniting one's imagination.
Manager Huxley furrowed his brow, pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, and gave Edwin, dressed plainly, a cold once-over.
He spoke icily, "I'm sorry, this is a private club, for members only. I've never seen you before, so please leave."
Manager Huxley remained relatively polite and did not say anything too harsh.
Mainly, he simply looked down on Edwin and naturally didn't want to engage much.
Seeing Edwin still standing there, Jodie immediately pointed at his nose imperiously and scolded, "What's the matter, why aren’t you leaving? Do I have to call security to kick you out?"
Edwin's face finally darkened.
He was just here to find someone, why must they target him like this?
Could it be because he was dressed plainly, he was labeled as a poor person?
"Let me say it again, I'm here to find someone." Edwin said calmly, with a hint of anger in his voice.
Just as the manager was about to turn around, he turned his head back, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Francis Carter." Edwin said.
"Heh!"
Suddenly, the manager shook his head helplessly and sneered, asking, "You're looking for our Chairman Carter?"
Francis Carter, the behind-the-scenes chairman of the Imperial Club.
He had never come here in recent years, today was his first visit!
Could it be that this stinky fellow in front of him was the important guest he had been waiting for?
Jodie, on the side, also said mockingly, "Manager Huxley, this person is just a fool. I'll call people to throw him out."
The manager didn't want to do that, but he still nodded and said, "Handle it properly, don't cause any displeasure or misunderstanding among the guests."
Heh.
How could Francis know such a poor and low-class person?
"Okay, Manager Huxley, I understand." Jodie coquettishly swung her body a bit, with a cunning smile on her face.
Then, she turned her head, stared at Edwin fiercely, picked up her phone, and dialed the security department, "Send two people to the front door, someone is causing trouble."
There were no security guards at the front door of the Imperial Club because no one dared to cause trouble there.
Everyone who came here was an important figure in Ciadeles and even from other places, any one of them could stir up a storm.
Who would be so ignorant to cause trouble in the Imperial Court?
After hanging up the phone, Jodie crossed her arms in front of her chest, her eyes staring at Edwin fiercely, sneering, "i***t, you're done!"
Edwin was also helpless, quietly took out his phone and dialed Mr. Francis' number, and said coldly, "I'm at the front door, I'm being stopped. You only have three minutes."
Seeing Edwin pretending to make a phone call, Jodie burst into laughter, mocking, "Ha! Are you calling Chairman Carter? You f*****g loser, you're not good enough to pretend."
Edwin didn't retort but stood calmly with his hands behind his back.
It made Jodie explode with anger!
What a trash, he dared to ignore her!
Damn it!
At the same time, Francis, the behind-the-scenes chairman of the Imperial Club, was rushing to the front door with his secretary. From a distance, he saw the young master being blocked at the front door and being scolded fiercely.
Immediately, Francis' eyes were about to burst!
That was the young master, the future ruler of Lion Guild!
"Stop!" Francis shouted.
The security guards who were driving away Edwin suddenly heard an angry shout, turned their heads and saw Francis with an angry expression running towards them!
Francis Carter!
The behind-the-scenes chairman of the Imperial Club!
Stand at attention!
Salute!
"Chairman Carter!" The security guards saluted in unison.
But Francis didn't even look at them, he went straight to Edwin who was tidying his clothes, with an excited smile on his face.
"Young master, you're here, please come inside." Francis stood respectfully one meter away from Edwin, bowing and bending, showing great respect.
This scene also left Jodie dumbfounded!
Young... young master?
What's going on?
This guy is just a poor loser!
"Chairman Carter, did you mistake the person? He's just a poor loser who came here to cause trouble."
Jodie said in astonishment, then turned and stared angrily at Edwin, shouting, "You trash! You dare not show respect to our Chairman Carter. Both of you, throw him out now!"
Jodie was very anxious. If she angered Chairman Carter, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"How dare you!"
Suddenly, Francis glared at Jodie, angrily scolding, "Who do you want to throw out? He is the Young Master, the actual owner of the club. Do you dare to be disrespectful?"
Him? A loser, the real boss of the club?
Is this a joke?
Jodie widened her eyes, puzzled and disbelieving, asking, "Chairman Carter, are you not joking?"
Humph!
Francis coldly grunted, no longer speaking, his expression already making everything clear.
Jodie's heart trembled at this moment, her cheeks trembling, staring at Edwin in disbelief.
So, what he said about meeting with Chairman Carter was true!
Then, Jodie immediately bowed down, apologizing, "Sir... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I..."
At this moment, Manager Huxley, who had left earlier, returned and didn't notice Francis.
Since Edwin was still here, he became annoyed and shouted, "Why are you still here? Get out!"
As soon as he said this, he immediately realized a pair of cold eyes staring fiercely at him from behind!
Edwin's mouth curved into a faint smile, feeling helpless.
"Shut up!"
Francis' anger surged as he knocked his black golden cane heavily on the ground.
"Chairman Carter, why are you here?"
Manager Huxley only noticed Francis behind him at this moment, immediately putting on a flattering smile.
But Francis completely ignored him and respectfully looked at Edwin, asking, "Young Master, how do you intend to handle this?"
"Young... Young Master?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Huxley's neck trembled as he turned to look at Edwin, who was calmly looking up at the sky.
Immediately, he realized something was wrong!
The distinguished guest Chairman Carter was meeting tonight was him?!
Edwin pursed his lips and said, "Expel them."
"Take them and throw them out!" Francis angrily ordered.
Thud!
Without hesitation, Manager Huxley rushed over and directly knelt in front of Edwin, begging, "Young Master, so sorry I have offended you. Please forgive me. I was wrong!"
He wasn't stupid, so he could clearly see the situation.
Chairman Carter, such a mysterious and important figure, was bowing down to this young man.
It was enough to show that Edwin's identity was something he couldn't look up to!
Jodie also trembled all over, her face full of flattery as she said, "Young Master, I was wrong, I won't dare again. Please forgive me this time."
However, Edwin smiled faintly, looked at Francis, and the latter immediately pointed at several security guards, ordering, "Throw them out! From today onwards, they can no longer stay in Ciadeles!"
"Young Master, spare us, we were wrong, please..."
In Manager Huxley and Jodie's pleading voices, Edwin had already entered the luxurious presidential suite with Francis.
Ten minutes later, Edwin came out of Imperial Club holding a bag of money.
When Edwin returned to the hospital room, the group of people were waiting for him with cold mockery.
"Oh, Edwin, did you borrow some money?" Woodrow said with a sneering expression.
He was the eldest young master of the Duncan family and had always looked down on Lauren, the second young miss of the Duncan family.
Especially since she married a useless son-in-law, it was simply embarrassing for the Duncan family!
Edwin only gave him a cold glance, threw the bag on the coffee table, and said to Mr. Duncan, "Here's 200,000 dollars. I'll treat my daughter's illness."
Instantly, Faithe slapped Edwin's face angrily and scolded, "You useless waste, how dare you speak to Grandpa in such a tone?"
This slap left Edwin confused, furrowing his eyebrows.
Lauren quickly stepped forward and held her mother, saying, "Mom, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing? Get out of my sight! If you don't divorce him, you're not welcome in this house!" Faithe rebuked, glaring at Lauren.
"Edwin, where did you steal the money from?" Faithe asked sarcastically.
She knew best about Edwin's character!
Edwin explained, "I borrowed it."
"Hahaha!"
Instantly, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
"Just you? Who would lend money to you, a loser?" Faithe disdainfully sneered.
At this time, the old man stood up, looked at Edwin with cold eyes, and said, "So what if you borrowed money? Maggie belongs to my Duncan family. I decide who treats her, not you!"
"I am Maggie's father!" Edwin clenched his fist and argued.
Smack!
The old man slapped Edwin and yelled, "You dare to speak so rudely to me? Who taught you that!"
While everyone was insulting and blaming Edwin, a middle-aged man dressed in a decent and expensive suit walked into the room.
He was very polite and gentlemanly, clearly an important figure.
"Hello, are you Mr. Duncan of the Duncan family?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile, extending his hand.
The old man was a shrewd person and immediately recognized that the visitor was extraordinary.
He shook hands politely and said, "Yes, I am. May I ask who you are?"
"I am surnamed Spender," the middle-aged man said and clapped his hands.
Then, several men in black suits entered the hospital room, carrying a brand new set of medical equipment!
Followed by four doctors and nurses in white coats, their heads full of white hair.
"This is the blood purifier DX."
"He is the most professional medical staff, well-established in the field of leukemia, an authoritative expert."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he took out several boxes of medicine and said, "This is the special medicine for leukemia, ANXE."
Looking at this scene in front of them, the Duncan family members looked at each other, all in a daze!
"This... the blood purifier DX, there are only three in the world, it is the top medical technology equipment!"
One of the Duncan family members exclaimed.
"And this medicine, I just checked, it is also the latest developed special medicine, with a cure rate of up to 90%! It costs a fortune, seven million! It is also exclusive, not something you can buy with money, only a hundred pills are produced in a year! It's priceless!"
Buzz!
The Duncan family members were shocked once again!
Mr. Duncan couldn't contain his excitement and asked, "Mr. Spender, who sent all these?"
Mr. Spender, without revealing any trace, glanced at Edwin, who was slightly frowning, and said, "The Lytton family."
