After Elijah said that, Evelyn and Sherman stood frozen on the spot momentarily. It was as if a bolt from the blue had struck them.Evelyn was so shocked that her scalp was tingling.What did he say?The kid in front of her was the expert who even Dr. Strickland admired?Screaming, she asked in disbelief, “How is this possible? How is this possible? Dr. Strickland, did you get the wrong person?”“Just assume that I did, then.” Elijah smiled coldly. After that, he turned to look at Chase with great admiration and said, “It’s such an honor to have you visit my humble pharmacy.”“You flatter me, Mr. Strickland.” Chase smiled lightly. “I’m here to get some medicine for Mr. Cooper.”“Okay, please come with me and I'll personally prepare the medicine for you.”Elijah nodded excitedly as he led Chase into the pharmacy, leaving Evelyn and her father petrified. Their brains could not register what was going on.Soon, Chase took the packaged medicine and said, “Thank you, Mr. Strickland
Chase turned around and walked away, saying indifferently, “Wrong, it’s 100 billion!”“What?”Evelyn was startled and thought she had heard wrongly. When she came back to her senses and wanted to curse, she found that Chase had disappeared.She could only squat on the ground and wail in despair.Sherman came out to console her, “Sweetheart, I’ve already accepted my fate.”“Ms. Benson, may I be so bold to say that you're too self-righteous and arrogant." Elijah, who also followed him out, spoke in a cold tone.“You think that because Benson Group runs a big business, you can pressure others with your power and lure them with gains. However, that's a big mistake.“For a person like my master, wealth and power are nothing to him. He doesn't even care about the entirety of South River, let alone Benson Group.“You used the worst method, which is tantamount to sentencing your father to death!”Elijah’s merciless words completely destroyed Evelyn’s pride.She burst into tears and s
Catching her gaze, Chase smiled lightly and said, “Miss Cooper, you have so many friends. Why do you still want me there?”“It’s not the same.”Bianca’s pretty face was slightly flushed as she said, “Although I have a lot of friends, there are only a few who matter as much as you, Mr. Collins.“And you’ve been very kind to my family. So, if you can attend my birthday party, my grandfather and I will be very happy.”“Since you’ve said that, it'd be rude for me to refuse,” Chase said with a smile.Bianca immediately smiled sweetly and said, “That's great! I'll pick you up when the time comes.”It was getting dark.As soon as Chase returned to the Turners’ place, he saw Edward talking about something passionately while Laura and Riley looked shocked.When Henry spotted Chase, he smiled and said, “Chase, you came just in time. Edward and Riley are going to a gala tonight, so you should go too.”“What gala?” Chase asked.Henry said, “It’s the birthday of one of Edward’s big client
More than ten minutes later, they arrived at the White Palace, a historic building that was a landmark of South River City.At the moment, the entrance to the White Palace was filled with all kinds of luxury cars. Mercedes-Benzes and BMWs were nothing special here. Among the lineup of cars were also Lamborghinis, Bentleys, and even Rolls-Royces.Considering Bianca was the eldest daughter of the wealthy Cooper family, of course, countless people from South River City’s upper class were in attendance.“Mr. Collins, we’re here.”After Bianca parked the car, she stepped down and opened the door for Chase herself.At this moment, a Maserati stopped beside the two people. A second later, two women walked out of the car.Bianca immediately stepped forward and hugged one of the women. “Quinn! I thought you weren’t coming.”“I’m your best friend! How could I miss your party?” Quinn chuckled.The next moment, she spotted Chase, and her face turned cold. “It's you!”The secretary beside
Turning around, Chase saw several familiar figures walking toward him.It was Edward, Riley, and the others.Riley looked at him in surprise. “Why are you here?”“Riley, do you even need to ask?” Edward took a step forward and looked at Chase with disdain. “This kid must've followed us because he wasn't happy about being left out."Upon hearing this, Riley’s eyes turned cold as she said with great disgust, “Chase, can't you stop pestering me? Don't you know that doing this will only make me resent you more and more?”“I’m not following you.”He continued indifferently, “I had no idea that the party you were going to was my friend’s birthday party. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come.”“Your friend?” Raymond, standing behind Edward, questioned, “Tell us who your friend is, then!”“Bianca,” Chase said calmly.As soon as he said that, the group suddenly became silent.Edward was the first to react, showing an amused expression. “Did I hear correctly? Are you saying that Miss Cooper
“Edward, who is he?” Anna looked curiously at Ferb.“You don’t know him?”Edward had a serious look on his face as he said, “He’s Ferb Quaid, the eldest son of the Quaid family in South River City. He was born with a silver spoon, so no one dares to cross him.”The three inhaled sharply.Then, Raymond exclaimed, “Look! He’s heading straight to Chase!”They looked over and saw that Ferb was indeed slowly making his way toward Chase. “Does Chase know Ferb?” Edward’s expression changed.Not only Edward, but the rest of the people in the room also shifted their gaze to Chase.“Who’s that kid?”“I don’t know. I don’t think he’s one of us.”“Does Mr. Ferb know him? That can’t be. That kid’s outfit doesn’t look like it cost even a grand. How could Mr. Ferb know someone like him?Then, as everyone was watching, Ferb arrived in front of Chase. “Are you Chase Collins?”“Yeah, why?” Sitting there, Chase looked calmly at him.“Hehe, let me introduce myself. My name is Ferb Quaid.” Fe
After Ferb said that, the room turned cold, and everyone could feel a bone-piercing chill.“Hahaha! Chase is such an idiot! This is so funny. He’s doomed!”Edward did not like Chase, and considering the current situation, he was elated!In his eyes, Chase was already a dead man.Anna and Raymond also had the same thoughts, especially Anna. She turned to say to Riley, “See? I told you that this guy is a country bumpkin. Not only that, but he’s also a troublemaker. I said that he'd get himself killed sooner or later. And now, it looks like it’s coming true.”Riley seemed to be caught up in a complex mix of emotions when she heard that. The next second, fear overwhelmed her. “He’s so good at causing trouble. I’m glad I didn’t grow any feelings for him. Or else, I would've gotten into trouble with him.”Ferb smirked. The way he looked at Chase was filled with murderous intent. “Congratulations for successfully enraging me.“When I was eight years old, I was sent to an overseas mer
The most shocked person among them was Riley. She had opened her eyes to sneak a peek. It looked like Ferb had been hit by Chase with one slap and flew away from the impact.All it took was one slap and he was flung more than ten meters away? That was incredible.She looked at Chase, the person who had once disgusted her immensely. She suddenly realized that she might have underestimated this man. He was not as useless as she had made him out to be…Ferb slowly stood up while everyone was looking at him.He wiped the blood away from the corner of his lips and looked at Chase savagely. “It’s impossible that I can’t defeat garbage like you! Impossible! This shouldn't have happened!”“King of Mercenaries?” Chase smiled tauntingly and said with murder laced in his voice, “This is all there is to you. You were finished in one blow!”Ferb’s eyes instantly turned red when he heard those words. All he felt right now was immense humiliation.“I don’t believe this! This isn’t true! Die, y
