Later that night, Jasmine came all the way to pick Joe up.
Upon seeing Joe, Jasmine arched her hands respectfully before him and greeted, “Mr. Smith, I’m really sorry to trouble you.
Joe smiled slightly before he said, “Miss Moore, you don’t have to be so polite.”
After that, Joe noticed that Jasmine was wearing a diamond necklace around her neck. At this time, he asked out of curiosity, “This is the diamond necklace that you lost previously, isn’t it?”
Jasmine nodded hurriedly before she replied, “Yes. This is the diamond necklace that my mother gave me before she passed away and it’s more important to me than my own life. Therefore, I’m really grateful towards you because if it wasn’t because of you, I would never have gotten it back, Mr. Smith.”
Joe smiled before he replied, “Jasmine, you have a connection with the diamond necklace. Even if I did not help you, it would’ve been transferred back to your hands after a short while.”
Jasmine knew that Joe was only being modest. Therefore, she quickly replied, “Mr. Smith, this is the first time that I’ve ever seen a really skilled master like you keeping such a low-profile and staying so humble.”
Joe smiled and said, “Jasmine, you don’t have to keep praising me! Let’s get down to business immediately.”
Jasmine nodded before she said, “Okay, Mr. Smith. Please get into the car!”
Joe got into Jasmine’s Rolls-Royce before the driver drove the car swiftly to the Moore family’s mansion in Aurous Hill.
It was a typical mansion that was renovated magnificently and it was enclosed within a beautiful garden. The entire villa was filled with classical beauty and really portrayed the owner’s elegant taste.
Moreover, the mansion occupied a very large area. Since the Moore family could own such a large piece of land in Aurous Hill, it was obvious that the Moore family was really extremely wealthy.
Joe followed slowly behind Jasmine as they walked across the courtyard. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw a young man dressed in a suit and a pair of leather shoes walking around with an old man and a much younger girl.
“Sister, this is…”
The handsome young man looked at Joe suspiciously.
“This is Mr. Smith,” Jasmine had an uneasy expression on her face but she maintained her composure as she introduced Joe to the handsome young man. “Joe, this is my cousin, Reuben.”
“Hello,” Joe said as he nodded.
“Mr. Smith?”
The youth scanned Joe up and down before he replied sarcastically, “Sister, did you invite this so- called master who looks younger than me to take a look at Grandpa? Don’t you think that this is a little too ridiculous?”
Joe was a little annoyed when he heard Reuben’s words.
On their way home, Jasmine had already told Joe that her grandfather was dying and his life was hanging by a thread now.
The younger generation of the Moore family had invited countless famous doctors and masters to come over to take a look at their grandfather in hopes that they would be able to make a great contribution if they help to cure the old man and save his life. After that, they would be able to hope for a bigger share in the Moore family’s property when their inheritance was allocated.
This was especially so for Reuben.
Unfortunately, all the famous doctors that he had invited to the Moore family mansion had not been able to help the old man at all.
Reuben was a little hostile towards Jasmine as he glared at her.
At this time, Jasmine quickly replied, “Brother, Mr. Smith is a very skillful master. When I was plagued with bad luck previously, Mr. Smith was the one who helped me reverse my fortune. He is really a very skillful master in Feng Shui and metaphysics.”
Reuben replied with contempt, “Sister, the person that we need to hire to treat Grandpa now is a doctor, not just a Feng Shui master. Does this young man even have any idea what he’s doing?”
Joe was very unhappy at this time.
After all, the only reason he had agreed to come here today was because he wanted to show some respect for Jasmine. Otherwise, the young master of the Smith family would not even have bothered to step into the Moore family mansion. Why would they even be worthy of his presence?
Jasmine was also furious at this time. “Brother! How could you say such things? You might choose not to believe in someone’s ability but you shouldn’t disrespect them just because of that!”
Reuben snorted coldly before he replied, “Respect? I only respect masters with real talents and skills. I don’t think swindlers deserve my respect at all!”
After that, Reuben pointed at the old man standing next to him before he proudly introduced him, “This is Anthony Simmons, an extremely famous doctor in the South Region, and his granddaughter.”
Joe was slightly taken aback and he looked at the people standing before him.
The old man and the young girl looked like a grandfather and his granddaughter.
However, their dressing was obviously different compared to that of other ordinary people.
The old man looked like he was slightly over sixty years old and he was wearing a bamboo-colored cloth robe with a pair of black-framed old-fashioned glasses. He had a long white beard and his eyes were gleaming at this time.
The young girl standing next to him looked about eighteen or nineteen years old and she was wearing a loose cheongsam. She had short hair with bangs with extremely bright eyes that sparkled upon the reflection of light. The girl had very nice white teeth and she exuded a cold and mysterious aura around her.
Joe paid more attention to the young girl’s appearance because in Aurous Hill, there were not many people who could be compared to the top beauty, Claire.
Compared to Claire, the young girl’s eyes were much sharper and she looked a little arrogant.
When the old man saw Joe staring at him, Anthony nodded faintly while the young girl was very arrogant and she did not look at Joe at all.
At this time, Reuben suddenly said to Jasmine, “Sister, I think that this young man whom you’re referring to as a master should only be in his early twenties. He might not even know anything about yin and yang and he probably doesn’t even know anything about the five elements. Who gave him the audacity to call himself a master? If anyone finds out about this, they’d definitely laugh at us, the Moore family, for not choosing to believe in medical skills but choosing to believe in superstition instead.”
Reuben was attacking Joe relentlessly with his words and Joe was shocked because he did not know why he had suddenly turned into a liar.
At this time, Reuben clasped his fist and bowed slightly in front of the old man before he said, “Dr. Simmons, I’m sorry that my sister is so ignorant. Please ignore her and you can proceed to take care of this medical emergency.”
Anthony was very humble and he quickly replied, “Being young doesn’t necessarily mean that one has no true talents. Mr. Moore, please do not have so many doubts and suspicions about this young man here.”
