Chapter 210 – Disdained Son-in-Law, Destined Riches

Filed to story: Disdained Son-in-Law, Destined Riches >>

Jacob was no longer in a critical condition and only needed to continue resting in the hospital for a few more days so that he could fully recover.

Therefore, Joe had been cooking and delivering meals to Jacob over the past few days.

The news that Jacob’s paraplegia had been cured spread throughout the hospital and caused a national sensation.

Very few people in the medical field could actually believe that there could be such a medical miracle in the country!

However, many people were relieved when they heard that this was the work of the genius doctor, Anthony Simmons.

Everyone in the country knew about the genius doctor’s medical skills, and he was very reputable in the medical field.

Since he had successfully cured a patient with paraplegia this time, Anthony’s reputation rose even higher. He was now one of the top medical practitioners in the country.

Countless reporters flocked around Anthony because they wanted to interview him, and many reporters even flew in from abroad to request for an interview with him. At the same time, many top pharmaceutical companies also wanted to collaborate with him so that they could come up with a treatment and drug for paraplegia. However, Anthony turned down all of their requests.

After all, he did not want to take advantage of Joe’s ability to steal the limelight. He knew very well that these abilities did not belong to him, but Joe!

To express his respect and gratitude toward Joe, Anthony decided to stay in Aurous Hill!

He felt that the only way that he would be able to repay Joe’s kindness was if he chose to stay in Aurous Hill. Therefore, he decided to open a medical clinic in Aurous Hill, where he would be able to provide medical treatment to patients, and also where it would be convenient for him to carry out any of Joe’s instructions at all times.

His granddaughter, Xyla, was very excited when she heard that her grandfather had decided to stay in Aurous Hill. She was so excited that she was completely at a loss for words.

After all, she was at the age where she wanted to get married and was easily attracted to men.

Which woman would be able to resist the charm of a powerful and capable man?

Xyla had long been fascinated by Joe, and the only thing she would think about whenever she closed her eyes was Joe’s handsome and indifferent face.

She knew that Joe was already married. However, just like the other girls, Xyla felt that Joe and Claire were not that deeply in love with one another. Therefore, she felt as though she still had a chance to win Joe over.

If she could stay in Aurous Hill, she would have a higher chance of getting together with Joe.

After delivering Jacob’s meal to him, Joe was on the way back home when he received a phone call from Anthony. Anthony told him respectfully over the phone, “Mr. Smith, I have already rented a shop near Mrs. Smith’s studio, and I have decided to open a medical clinic. I will be staying in Aurous Hill for long term. If you have any instructions or assignments for me, please do not hesitate to call me and ask for my help anytime!”

Joe nodded before he said, “Okay. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.”

Early the next morning, Claire woke up and put on some makeup.

After putting on her makeup, Joe felt a little excited because she looked extremely beautiful.

However, he asked Claire out of curiosity, “Dear wife, you usually go to work without putting on any makeup. Why are you putting on makeup today? Are you meeting anyone important?”

On any other normal day, Claire would always leave the house with a bare face because she already had a pleasant and beautiful appearance. She had a pink and rosy complexion, and she rarely needed to put on any makeup at all.

Claire replied earnestly, “Today is the decoration industry summit in Aurous Hill. Why don’t you come with me? It is rare for the organizer to invite me to attend the summit even though I just started my company. This is a good opportunity for me to emerge and make a name for myself in the industry. Therefore, I must make sure that I strive to gain a foothold in the industry so that I will be able to perform well in the future.”

Joe asked with a surprised expression on his face, “Who is the sponsor for this summit? You just started your company, so why would they invite…”

Claire smiled before she answered, “The summit is hosted by Emgrand Group! The vice-chairman of Emgrand Group, Doris, sent me an invitation letter.”

“No wonder…” Joe usually did not care about any of the group’s affairs, thus, he did not know that Emgrand Group was the organizer of the summit.

Moreover, he had a feeling that Doris had intentionally organized this summit because his wife had just started her company, and Doris wanted to help Claire expand her company’s popularity.

To put it plainly, this was all just a set up so that his wife could perform on stage.

After she was done putting on her makeup, Claire asked Joe to put on a suit before they left the house together.

When they arrived at the meeting place, it was already overcrowded. There were many middle-aged men dressed in suits and leather shoes, and they were all accompanied by beautiful girls on their arms.

Joe had no contacts in the decoration and refurbishment industries, and so, he had no acquaintances there today. However, Claire had already been in this industry for a long time since she had been working for the Wilson Group before this. Hence, she met and greeted a few acquaintances after entering the meeting place.

As Joe was accompanying Claire while she chatted with some of her acquaintances, he suddenly realized that a crowd of people was surrounding a middle-aged man, all at once. They were all praising and cheering for him.

Joe’s eyes were extremely sharp, and he could tell at one glance that the woman standing next to the strange middle-aged man was none other than Wendy!

At this time, he could not help but ask Claire out of curiosity, “Wife, hasn’t the Wilson Group gone bankrupt? What is Wendy doing here?”

Claire also glanced in that direction before she shook her head and said, “I am not sure who decided to invest in the Wilson Group. The Wilson Group has already begun running their business operations as usual for the past few days.”

Joe could not help but frown.

Invest in the Wilson Group? Who would do that?

Aside from the Wilson family’s conflict with the White family, the Moore family, and the Quinton family, anyone would have heard the news that Emgrand Group had already blacklisted the Wilson Group. Why would anyone actually invest in the Wilson Group and help the Wilson family now? Was there something wrong with this investor’s brain?

Just then, two people near Joe were whispering amongst themselves, and Joe heard one of them saying, “Hey! Isn’t that Kenneth Wilson, the chairman of Modestway Group?”

“That’s Chairman Wilson?!” the other person exclaimed. “So, he is also the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce?”

“Yes, that’s him!”

“How could someone from Eastcliff become the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce?”

“The Modestway Group has a lot of businesses all over the country, and the main reason why he became the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce is that the Moore family did not bother to compete with him for that position. Otherwise, the Moore family would have taken the position as the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce.”

Joe continued frowning as he listened to their discussion.
