“Hurry up and come back with us. Your grandfather was so anxious last night that he had a heart attack.” Lucy Brooks’s second uncle, Jack Brooks, also hurried over and said.

Lucy Brooks’s younger uncle, Charles Brooks, also wore a hypocritical smile as he said, “Come on. Your grandfather is still in a coma right now.”

Lucy Brooks looked at the four of them with disgust, stood up, and moved to hide beside Ethan Carter.

The two men in black who had protected Lucy Brooks last night appeared at the door again, bowed to Lucy Brooks, and said, “Miss, this time it’s real. But before the master fell into a coma, he didn’t give any order to force you to return home.”

“What!? Grandfather really...?” Lucy Brooks took a step forward, asking anxiously, but her hand was still clutching Ethan Carter’s clothes.

“Miss!” The two men in black suddenly knelt in front of Lucy Brooks: “Please come back with us! The master probably won’t make it through this time!”

Lucy Brooks glanced once more at the four elders with their hypocritical smiles. Their father was already critically ill, yet instead of staying by his bedside, they came to find her, the heir to the Su family enterprise. No wonder her grandfather’s will left all the assets to her.

“You...” Lucy Brooks turned back and looked hesitantly at Ethan Carter. Even though it was their first meeting, she had already, unknowingly, come to rely on him.

“I’ll call the hospital and ask for leave.” Ethan Carter couldn’t stand those similar gazes watching him, and once again agreed to Lucy Brooks without any principles, comforting himself in his heart: ‘Dealing with these hypocrites is also a way to accumulate merit.’

Although the four elders wanted to object, none of them dared to offend Lucy Brooks.

The two men in black who had previously fought with Ethan Carter also did not stop him from going.

Sitting in the stretch limousine heading to the Su residence, Ethan Carter asked the two bodyguards beside him, “How long did it take you to find out my background?”

One of the men in black replied expressionlessly, “Three hours.”

Ethan Carter nodded, thinking to himself that being able to uncover his fake identity so quickly was indeed a sign of great capability. At least, it was much faster than a nouveau riche like David Thompson.

“Can you tell me roughly what’s going on?” Ethan Carter asked Lucy Brooks, who was sitting next to him, still clutching his clothes.

“Mm.” Lucy Brooks nodded and said, “My grandfather is the head of the Su family enterprise, James Brooks, and he’s considered a top entrepreneur in our Tianchi Province. Six years ago, my parents died in an accident, and not long after, my grandfather announced his will, leaving all the inheritance to me. And to protect me, he wrote very clearly in the will that if I die before he does, all his assets will be donated to charity, not a single cent left.”

Lucy Brooks smiled faintly, with a hint of self-mockery in her expression, and said, “Maybe it’s that clause of my grandfather’s that saved my life. The four elders who never liked me suddenly became so concerned about me, all for the so-called inheritance…”

Just another boring inheritance dispute. Ethan Carter glanced at the several cars following behind and sneered.

“Hey! Are you sure he’s just an ordinary young doctor? Did they really only meet last night? Does this doctor really have no background?” Linda Brooks turned off her phone, a satisfied smile on her face, and said to her daughter Helen Reed, “That girl is just too stupid, thinking she can get away with just finding any man! Once that old bastard dies, we’ll make her end up like her parents! When the time comes! Hmph!”

“Mummy, you can’t use the same trick twice. How about I take the lead this time, seduce the doctor beside that woman, and cut off her support at the root…” Helen Reed said confidently, pushing up her 75D chest with her hand.

“What? You’ve got your eye on him again? This man is indeed very handsome. How long do you plan to play with him this time, my daughter? Want to bet on how long it’ll take you to get him into bed?” Linda Brooks looked at her daughter proudly, feeling no shame at all for her daughter’s promiscuity, but rather a sense of immense pride.

“Three days to get him into bed! And I’ll have him eating out of my hand!” Helen Reed said confidently, opening her makeup box and looking at her reflection. “With my looks, there’s never been a man who didn’t fall for me.”

“Then I’ll bet four days, my good girl.” Linda Brooks stroked the thigh of her secretary, who was also her lover, and said, “Once I have the money, you’ll definitely get your share.”

Similar scenes were playing out in the other three cars. The only difference was that the descendants of William Brooks and Jack Brooks were sons, and they were sending their secretaries—who were also their mistresses—to do what Helen Reed was doing, while Charles Brooks had simply contacted a hitman, ready to eliminate any obstacles to his succession as soon as the old man passed away.

The car slowly stopped at the entrance of the Su residence.

This was a villa with a white color scheme, occupying dozens of acres, with many guards patrolling around.

Sitting in the car, Ethan Carter looked at everything and smiled, “Even the White House in America can’t compare to the security here, can it?”
