Chapter 82: Riordan Wells would like to give up his fortune, only asking Jun Chester to save his son!
When they heard Norman’s words, all the guests present secretly cursed him for being a disgrace! In order to climb the social ladder, he was actually going to marry Lyvia to Riordan Wells’ foolish son? How much virtue must one lack to do such a thing? And to say such things in front of everyone and Riordan Wells! Does he have no shame? What does he take Lyvia for? An object to be bought and sold at will? It’s simply absurd to the extreme!
However, thinking about Riordan Wells’ wealth, the top 30 richest people in the world, and being Lordran’s richest man for three consecutive years! If Lyvia were to marry into the Wells family, such a wealthy family, who could say anything? What’s wrong with marrying a foolish young man? As long as she enters the door of the Wells family, just the gifts given by Riordan Wells could be tens of billions or even hundreds of billions! That’s a fortune that ordinary rich people can’t even dream of.
Lyvia herself, upon hearing Norman’s words to Riordan Wells, was so angry that her whole body trembled. Norman, her adoptive father’s own father, was now humiliating her in front of Jun! He was nothing but a hopeless old bastard! Don, seeing Norman’s behavior at this moment, was also so angry that his face turned red. If it hadn’t been for Norman being his own father, he would have wanted to go to the kitchen, grab a kitchen knife, and slaughter this old man!
As for Jun Chester, he just watched coldly. The look in his eyes toward Norman was already like looking at a dead man. Asfor Riordan Wells, he didn’t even look at Norman.
And then it dawned on him why Jun Chester had insisted that he attend Norman’s birthday banquet today. Norman watched Riordan Wells in silence, his gaze already turning to Jun Chester. His heart was filled with joy. He pointed at Jun Chester angrily, “Mr. Wells, it’s this dog! The woman by his side is my eldest son’s foster daughter, Lyvia! Isn’t she as beautiful as a fairy? If you could just do me the favor and deal with Jun Chester today, Lyvia will definitely become your daughter-in-law!”
Riordan Wells’ face was cold, but he ultimately held back and didn’t strike Norman dead. To make Jun Chester’s woman his daughter-in-law? Even with a thousand times the courage, he wouldn’t dare! Taking a deep breath, Riordan Wells suppressed his anger and walked towards Jun Chester.
Norman was overjoyed and followed quickly. To curry favor with a big shot like Riordan Wells was a huge opportunity for the Knowles family! As for whether Lyvia would agree to the marriage, Norman wasn’t worried at all. With the Wells family’s wealth, no woman would refuse to marry into the Wells family! If Lyvia could marry into the Wells family, she would probably thank her cheap grandfather even in her dreams.
As for Jun Chester… Humph! The bodyguards by Riordan Wells’ side were all super soldiers who had retired from the army! It would be a piece of cake to beat Jun Chester up and throw him out of the Knowles family! This dog, wanting to buy his dignity with a penny? Today, let this dog see what it means to have dignity swept away!
However, as Riordan Wells approached Jun Chester, his actions made Norman realize what it truly meant to have dignity swept away! The moment Riordan Wells arrived in front of Jun Chester, he knelt down before him. But this time, Riordan Wells didn’t call Jun Chester “master.” Instead, his face was unusually solemn. Lowering his head, he spoke slowly, “Mr. Chester, I’m late, please forgive me!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Norman felt as if he had been struck by lightning! Everyone present, except Jun Chester, Lyvia, and the superstar Jessica Johnson, was staring with wide eyes. The richest man in Lordran, the top mine owner, was kneeling before Jun Chester! What was going on? What was Jun Chester’s real identity?
Jun Chester glanced indifferently at Riordan Wells and turned his gaze back to the thunderstruck Norman. “You just said you want Lyvia to marry Riordan Wells’ son?” Norman shivered, his mind blank. The president of Bank of Dirtmouth’s branch, Colin Edwards, knelt to Jun Chester! The richest man in Lordran, Riordan Wells, also knelt to Jun Chester! Why? The other members of the Knowles family were all dumbfounded.
At that moment, Riordan Wells solemnly kowtowed to Jun Chester and spoke in a deep voice, “Mr. Chester, please don’t listen to the one-sided words of this old scoundrel, Norman! Neither I nor my son would dare have any improper thoughts about Miss Lyvia!”
Jun Chester looked at Riordan Wells indifferently, “Stand up and speak. I didn’t take the previous matter to heart, and you’re not worth being in my thoughts. Besides, this isn’t a feudal society. Don’t kneel so easily!”
Previous matter? What previous matter? Norman’s mind was full of question marks! And Riordan Wells wasn’t worth being in Jun Chester’s thoughts? Wasn’t Jun Chester just a rebellious son and a waste from the Chester family? How did he become so terrifying now? The others present were also puzzled.
Riordan Wells suddenly spoke to Jun Chester, “Mr. Chester, the reason I’m late is that my son… has had some health problems! I’m sure you’ve heard that my son has been sick since he was young, and everyone says that I, Riordan Wells, have a foolish child! But what parent would ever think that their child is inferior to others?” At that, Riordan Wells’ eyes reddened, and his voice grew heavier.
“I’ve heard that not only is Mr. Chester’s martial prowess extraordinary, but his medical skills are also rare in this world! So I came here… to seek help from Mr. Chester, to ask for your mercy, and to save my son! Just save my son, that’s all I ask! I know that Lordran Mining is nothing in your eyes! But I’m willing to offer all my life’s accumulated wealth, just to ask for Mr. Chester’s help…”
At that point, Riordan Wells couldn’t speak anymore. His eyes were red, and tears fell.
Everyone present was deeply moved. The shock, however, wasn’t just witnessing the fatherly love Riordan Wells displayed at that moment. It was also…
Riordan Wells actually said… Jun Chester’s medical skills were rare in this world? Riordan Wells would offer up all the wealth he had accumulated throughout his life? Just to exchange for the life of his foolish son? Riordan Wells’ wealth was much more than just a hundred billion, right? Lordran Mining was the leader in the Lordran mining industry and the most valuable company in the sector, with a value exceeding a trillion!
As long as Jun Chester saved Riordan Wells’ foolish son, all the astronomical wealth would belong to Jun Chester? Riordan Wells… Was he mad or just foolish? He could have more children, especially since this one was a fool!Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Jun Chester’s gaze towards Riordan Wells changed, and he gently asked, “Your son has cerebral palsy, but his life shouldn’t be in danger. Why are you so pessimistic?”
Riordan Wells choked on his tears. “My son may have cerebral palsy, but his mind is clearer than anyone else’s! He’s endured for twenty years, and he couldn’t take it anymore. Just now, my wife said he took three bottles of sleeping pills! Mr. Chester, I beg you, I, Riordan Wells, may have an eccentric personality and act irrationally, but today, for my son’s life, I don’t want my vast fortune. I just want my son to live!”
