Chapter 94: Clarence Got Into A Car Accident
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What are you doing?” Yosef was furious.
He was simply punched in the stomach.
Shirley acted like a b*tch. “Dad! How dare you hit my dad?
“We’re famous doctors from Beth City. You hillbillies…”
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.
“Dad!”
“What’s happened to my dad? I’m sorry I’m late!”
“Boohoo, Leanne’s priority now is to call a shareholders’ meeting and decide the head of the Wright Consortium…”
“Wright Consortium cannot go a day without a leader!”
Two middle-aged men, who looked about forty, rushed into the courtyard.
Clarence was a little surprised. The two men appeared to be Thompson’s 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 shareholders’ meeting as soon as they showed up?
Interesting!
Leanne looked coldly at her older brothers. “Dad’s alright now. Why hold a shareholders’ meeting?
“Dad’s not even dead, and you want to seize power from him?”
‘Thompson’s alright?’
Jerald and Julian Wright’s expressions changed slightly, looking slightly disappointed before bursting into laughter. “Haha, I knew Dad was going to be alright.”
“Dad’s really lucky!”
“Leanne, what are you talking about? That sounds so horrible. What do you mean by seizing power?”
“We came here in such a hurry. I’m so glad Dad’s okay.”
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.
“Hmph!”
Leanne snorted coldly. Her gaze fell on Clarence, and she asked respectfully, “Master Howard, how is my dad doing?”
Clarence smiled. “Old Master Wright’s fine. He’ll recover in less than a month, as long as he takes his medicine.”
“How much time does my dad have left?” That was what Leanne was most worried about.
Clarence said lightly, “Old Master Wright is in good health. He could live another ten years if nothing else happens.”
“Really?” Leanne was instantly overjoyed.
There was an imperceptible chill within the depths of Jerald’s and Julian’s eyes.
Leanne spoke again. “Master Howard, please move to the living room.
“We’ll hold a banquet at once, and there will be a reward!”
Clarence shook his head gently. “No thanks. Take good care of Old Master Wright. He needs rest now.
“I’m going back to Thirteen Hall first. Let me know if you need anything.”
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.
“Master Howard, please take this.” Leanne stepped forward and slipped what looked like an access card into Clarence’s hand.
“What’s this?”
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 ‘Dragon Soar’.
There was also a serial number ‘1’ on it.
Leanne said with a smile, “It’s the key to Dragon Soar Heights’ Villa One.
“I’ll have someone change the owner info.
“Dragon Soar Heights’ Villa One is yours from now on, Master Howard.”
Jerald and Julian looked jealous. They had asked the Old Master for Dragon Soar Heights’ 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?
“Dragon Soar Heights?”
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 Heights’ 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 Heights’ Villa One?
“Yes, Mr. Howard. It’s yours now.” 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, “Clarence, stop interacting with the Wright family. It’s a vortex. Don’t get caught up in it.”
Clarence frowned. “Cecilia, do you think Jerald and Julian want their father dead too?”
“You noticed that?” Cecilia was somewhat surprised.
Clarence laughed wryly. “Cecilia, I’m not an idiot.”
Cecilia narrowed her eyes. “Jerald controls a third of the Wright family’s businesses and Tomlake Heights.
“Tomlake Heights has a membership system, and many Mediterranean City’s dignitaries are its members.
“Julian’s a member of the Martial Arts Association and vice president of the Mediterranean City branch.
“The brothers have been fighting openly, secretly wanting to inherit the Wright family!
“You 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.
“If Old Master Wright had died today, one of the brothers would be inheriting the Wright family!
“I got the feeling that Jerald and Julian were upset with you after you saved Old Master Wright.
“It’s complicated!
“Any 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.
“If you get involved, you’ll be eaten down to the bone!”
Cecilia warned Clarence about this all earnestly. She was worried about him.
She was also worried that Clarence would succumb to the Wright family’s temptation.
He had accepted a billion-dollar villa today. What if there was something of higher value tomorrow?
Clarence smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, Cecilia. I won’t.”
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?
“It’s good that you won’t.” Cecilia gave Clarence a meaningful glance.
Just then, Clarence’s eyebrow twitched. He realized a dump truck in the next lane had skidded. The steering wheel turned, and it was heading for Cecilia’s 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.
“Is it heading for me?”
The thought flashed through Clarence’s mind.
The dump truck had rushed over.. It crushed the sports car Clarence was driving with a violent clang.
