Chapter 50: Truly the Man I Admire 1

Augustus Wolfe listened, his face turning an iron blue, his eyes seeming able to spit fire as he angrily stared at the store manager:

“You didn’t even ask about the sequence of events before concluding that it was the customer who bullied the employee? Who gave you the right?”

“Boss, I…”

“You two are fired, go to finance to process your paperwork now!”

“Boss, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me this one time!”

The store manager immediately panicked; he had just taken out a loan to buy a house, and if he lost his job now, he would definitely be unable to pay the mortgage, and he might even lose the house to the bank eventually.

Seeing Augustus Wolfe unmoved, he hurriedly crawled over to Greg Jensen, hugging his leg and begging:

“Mr. Jensen, I was blind, I failed to recognize a great man, please spare me.”

Greg Jensen saw this and said nothing.

Such scum, who bullies the weak and fears the strong, isn’t worthy of sympathy. If let off today, he would bully someone else in the same way tomorrow.

“Get lost, don’t fucking bother Mr. Jensen!”

Augustus Wolfe kicked him away and shouted angrily, “If 1 let you continue working, this mall is bound to close down sooner or later!”

“Boss…”

“Where’s security? Get this person out of my sight!”

Without further discussion, Augustus Wolfe called security and had both the store manager and the female salesperson expelled, then came to Greg Jensen and said awkwardly:

“Look at this mess, I’m really sorry.”

Greg Jensen said, “It’s okay, when the stand is big, there are bound to be a few black sheep.”

“Are you free tonight? How about dinner together?” Augustus Wolfe said with a smile.

Greg Jensen glanced at his watch and said, “Some other time, I’ve got a meeting with Mr. Ware tonight.”

“Oh, all right then, call me when you’re in town next time.”

“Sure.”

After exchanging a few polite words with him, Greg Jensen left the mall with Lois Abbott.

Once they were in the car, Lois Abbott kept staring at Greg Jensen, making him feel somewhat uneasy.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Lois Abbott shook her head, and with a light chuckle, said, “Nothing much, I just think you’ve changed a lot.”

“Changed? Not really,” Greg Jensen said, puzzled.

“How can you say no? Remember the first time…”

Lois Abbott thought about the scene in the cave, her face immediately flushed, and after a pause, she continued:

“Back then, you were a fool, and it hasn’t been that long, but now you are worth millions.”

“Haha, I guess so.”

Greg Jensen laughed. He too felt that time had flown by. In just a short three months, his net worth had reached a million, and his cultivation was about to enter the third stage of Qi Refinement.

Lois Abbott said proudly, “Just as 1 expected of the man I chose, you are impressive indeed.”

“You didn’t seem to choose me at first, did you?”

“That… at that time, I was really confused, the hotel business was bad, and my dad was still unconscious. 1 had no heart to bother with you.”

Greg Jensen said with a mischievous smile, “What about now?”

“Now… I still don’t have the heart to bother with you.”

Lois Abbott turned her head away and drove seriously.

Greg Jensen chuckled, picked up the few pieces of lingerie she had bought for herself, shook them in front of her, and asked with a mischievous smile:

“If you don’t have the heart to bother with me, then what’s this?”

“Ah, put it back.”

“Tell me what’s this first.”

Lois Abbott’s face immediately turned red to the tips of her ears, and in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s, she said, “It’s nothing much, just a few pieces of lingerie. Isn’t it normal for a woman to buy lingerie?”

“Buying underwear is of course normal, but if you’re buying the especially seductive kind, that’s not so normal.”

“Eek, how did you find out?”

Lois Abbott tightly gripped the steering wheel with both hands, looking just like a child who had done something wrong and been caught by a parent.

“Haha, just drive safely, we can talk about this issue tonight.”

“Like hell I want to discuss it with you!”

The two of them laughed and chatted on the way back to the hotel, where Chestor Ware had already arrived and was chatting with Alfred Webb in a private room.

Seeing Greg Jensen arrive, Chestor Ware hurriedly stood up, a respectful look in his eyes, and said with a smile, “Mr. Jensen, you’ve arrived, please have a seat.”

Greg Jensen quickly waved his hand, “Oh, Mr. Ware, please don’t be so formal with me, or I’ll be too embarrassed to even talk to you.”

“Yeah, Mr. Ware, no need to be so polite with this kid.”

Alfred Webb felt that, after all, Greg Jensen was a junior and thought it was unnecessary for Chestor Ware to make a big fuss.

However, what he didn’t know was that Chestor Ware’s poisoning had been looked at by countless doctors, but none had been able to help.

Only Greg Jensen not only identified the cause but also cured him.

How could such exceptional medical skills belong to an ordinary person?

In his eyes, Greg Jensen was likely a disciple of some reclusive master, otherwise how could someone so young possess such impressive medical skills?

For this reason, when he began to see improvement in his condition, he placed Greg Jensen in an extremely high regard in his heart.

“How are you feeling, is your body more agile now?”

Chestor Ware was polite to Greg Jensen, but Jensen did not become presumptuous because of it; in terms of social status and power, he was still far behind.

When he asked about his body, a smile spread across Chestor Ware’s face:

“Hmm, thanks to Mr. Jensen, I’m completely better, I even feel stronger than I did ten years ago.”

“Haha, that sounds a bit like flattery to me.”

Greg Jensen laughed, then asked, “Mr. Ware, what did you want to see me for today?”

“I wouldn’t dare command you. I just wanted to ask for your help with something.”

“Help? What can I help with?”

Greg Jensen was somewhat puzzled. Chestor Ware was, after all, the richest man in Riverhaven County—what could he help him with?

Chestor Ware’s expression turned solemn as he looked at Greg Jensen and said, “Mr. Jensen, I’d like you to stay at my house for a few days to help me figure out who has been poisoning me.”

“That… might not be a good idea?”

Greg Jensen hadn’t agreed but also hadn’t outright refused because the task, though seemingly simple, was fraught with great trouble.

Anyone bold enough to attack Chestor Ware certainly wasn’t weak, and Jensen didn’t want to get involved in these murky waters.

Chestor Ware sighed and said, “Mr. Jensen, 1 know it may seem insulting to talk money with you, but all I have left is money. I can’t think of anything else valuable enough to warrant your effort.

How about this, you just tell me what you need, and as long as you’re willing to help me, I won’t have any second thoughts.”

You might as well talk money with me, I need it right now.

Greg Jensen muttered to himself, then asked, “Can’t you investigate this on your own?”

Chestor Ware shook his head slowly and said in a deep voice, “The servants at home, they’ve been with me for over a decade. 1 can’t imagine who among them would want to poison me.”

Greg Jensen furrowed his brows and said, “I can only say 1’11 try, but I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to find the culprit.”

“It’s okay, as long as you’re willing to try.”

Chestor Ware quickly said, “Whether it works out or not, I’ll give you a million as thanks for saving my life.

If you ever encounter any trouble in the future and as long as it’s something I, Chestor Ware, can do, I will not shirk.”

“Alright then, let’s go over right after this.”

“Good, shall we go now? The car is waiting outside.”

“Uh…”

Greg Jensen turned his head to look, but saw Lois Abbott staring at him with a look of deep grievance..
