LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

But Carol’s next sentence made Anne Cobb’s face twitch. Carol said, “Your cousin-in-law is temporarily idle at home, but he used to serve in the military and receives a subsidy. Moreover, your uncle and I are currently running a small supermarket. We can’t be considered wealthy, but it does help cover some household expenses.”

Anne Cobb inhaled deeply, God knows how irritated she was.

Her cousin-in-law was idle at home?

Living off a military subsidy?

How much was that?

Moreover…

You and Don are running a small supermarket?

How much could that earn?

Oh, you live in a mansion worth at least a billion, with a monthly income of only tens of thousands?

Is that enough to cover the property fee for this mansion?

Anne Cobb had figured it out.

This entire family of Carol’s didn’t speak a word of truth.

Were they scared she would borrow money from them or what?

Anne Cobb forced herself to stay calm, turned her head to glance at Stacey not far away, patiently asking, “How did your family get involved with the Wells family?”

Carol was slightly taken aback, she pointed at a small mansion not too far away from their villa on the hilltop, laughing, “The Wells family are our neighbors. They just moved in recently. Oh, the one boxing over there, that’s Bruce Wells, Mr. Riordan Wells’ son and also your cousin-in-law’s disciple. Our family and the Wells family are pretty much one family now.”

Anne Cobb was even more puzzled about Jun Chester’s identity.

Riordan Wells’ son…

She had heard about him, but wasn’t he bedridden for years?

According to rumors, Bruce Wells was born with cerebral palsy, how could he be so healthy now?

Although he looked skinny, the momentum in his boxing was fierce and strong, far from appearing sick.

Furthermore, how could Bruce Wells become her cousin-in-law’s disciple?

One question after another filled Anne Cobb’s mind, leaving her completely puzzled!

Carol seemed to have noticed Anne Cobb’s confusion, pointing at the mansion on the hilltop, she jovially said, “Mr. Riordan Wells is a good man. His son Bruce Wells was on his last leg not long ago, but your cousin-in-law stepped in and saved him. And this mansion of ours was a gift from Mr. Riordan Wells to your cousin-in-law.”

Anne Cobb was secretly shocked…

How could a cerebral palsy patient like Bruce Wells be saved by her cousin-in-law?

That must require phenomenal medical skills!

Even if this incident was the reason why Carol’s family moved into the hilltop mansion, something still felt off.

For instance, even if her cousin-in-law was highly skilled in medicine and had connections with the Wells family, how did he know a big shot like Peter Alston?

Anne Cobb couldn’t help but ask, “Are you saying my cousin-in-law is a doctor?”

Carol gave a wry smile, “You could say that. I don’t know how to explain it to you, but your uncle and I owe this good life we’re living to your cousin-in-law.”

Anne Cobb then asked, “Do you know how my cousin-in-law knows Peter Alston?”

Carol looked confused, “Who’s Peter Alston?”

Anne Cobb looked displeased, “He’s the Mr. Alston we met at the gate just now! Also, why does Mr. Alston respect my cousin-in-law so much? Is my cousin-in-law the CEO of some company? The Horizons Medicine Group here in Dirtmouth? But that’s the Lian family’s business, what does it have to do with my cousin-in-law?”

Carol was completely baffled by this.

What was going on?

However, she figured it out. The only reason Anne Cobb agreed to visit their home was to dig for information.

When she realized this, Carol let out a sigh in her heart and said, “Anne, you shouldn’t speculate blindly. I don’t know much about your cousin-in-law, but it is true that he has medical skills. As for that Mr. Alston you mentioned, I’ve never met him before, and I think it was also your cousin-in-law’s first time meeting him. I just heard Mr. Alston say that the gatekeeper, Smith, saved his life, so your cousin-in-law probably met Mr. Alston through Smith.”

Anne Cobb immediately followed up, “How did my cousin-in-law meet Mr. Smith?”

Carol really didn’t know how to respond and intentionally changed the topic, “Anne, let’s talk about something else. How is everyone at home? How are your grandparents’ health? Are they still healthy? Ah, it’s been thirty years, I haven’t been back, I feel quite guilty.”

Anne Cobb, with a cold face, said, “My grandparents have retired, their health is okay. Now… all of Cobb Real Estate’s business has fallen on me.”

Carol had never heard of Cobb Real Estate. She forced a smile onto her face, “I didn’t expect the family to start a business. But, you don’t have to be so tough on yourself. You’re so young and beautiful, if you immerse yourself too much in your career, you’ll age quickly. By the way, have you started a family yet?”

Upon hearing this, Anne Cobb was choked with anger.

A conglomerate worth more than two hundred billion in market value…

Was that considered a small business?

Anne Cobb said with a stern face, “I haven’t started a family and I don’t have time for a boyfriend, my ambition lies elsewhere!”

Carol chuckled, “How can that be? Women need to date, too. By the way, those guys around your cousin-in-law are quite impressive, especially one of his followers, Dawson London. He’s quite handsome, and his family seems to be in good condition. He’s currently working for your cousin-in-law…”

Before Carol could finish, Anne Cobb interrupted in shock, “Who did you just say? Dawson what?”

Carol said, “Dawson London.”

As she spoke, Carol pointed to Dawson London who was pushing a lawn mower on the villa’s front lawn, and added, “That young man over there, he looks really spirited, although he’s a bit younger than you. But that’s not a problem, isn’t younger men dating older women trendy now?”

Following Carol’s finger, Anne Cobb looked over.

She couldn’t help but gasp.

One of Dirtmouth’s most well-established four major families, the heir to the London family, Dawson London…

Was he here mowing the lawn?

At this moment, Jun Chester walked out of the villa with a cup of tea, frowning at Dawson London, he complained, “Dawson, the noise is so loud, can you stop mowing the lawn with the lawn mower?”

Dawson London looked bewildered, “Then what should I use?”

Jun Chester said sternly, “A pair of scissors, and also give yourself some practice. Such a waste, not knowing to make full use of your practice time. Let me tell you, what is practice? Eating, sleeping, walking, you should be practicing at all times. Isn’t there a corresponding method for you to practice? Why are you slacking off here?”

Dawson London immediately shut off the lawn mower and said, “Yes, Dawson will do as you instructed.”

Jun Chester frowned, “It’s not about doing as I instructed, you need to have this awareness. Otherwise, you won’t even be able to beat Rose Sword, that waste, in the future. How can I teach you then?”

Anne Cobb saw this scene from a distance, and her emotions couldn’t be described with just shock.

She stood there, completely stunned.

This cousin-in-law of hers…

What did he do for a living?

Behind Dawson London was the London Group of Dirtmouth!

What concept was that?

Cobb Real Estate, in front of Dirtmouth’s London Group, was just a little brother!Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

And she, in front of Dawson London…

Was what?

Years ago at a party, Dawson London, the heir to the London family, didn’t even bother to glance at her!

And just then, Lyvia also came out of the villa.

Following behind her was actually the president of Dirtmouth’s Shen Corporation, the wealthiest hidden tycoon in Lordran, Bella Harding!

Bella Harding was dressed in a maid’s outfit, holding an umbrella…

And she was shading Lyvia from the sun!
