Chapter - 100

“Mr. Hinton, I’m so sorry. My ignorant subordinate officer has caused you a lot of trouble. I will hold Wilber accountable for his mistake. No one can stop you from opening your clinic. You have my words!”

Daniel was incredibly grateful. “Thank you, Mr. Kingston. I appreciate your understanding.”

Then, he unlatched the roller shutter and led his guests into the clinic.

Lacey halted Zeke who was about to enter and said, “Our guests are all big shots. Aren’t you going to explain to me why they are all here?”

Zeke replied with an innocent face, “They’re just here to support dad.”

“Of course I know they’re here to support dad.” Lacey prodded him for an answer, “I mean, why were they willing to come and support him?”

Dawn approached the duo and said, “Lacey, come on, the guests are waiting. You guys can talk later.”

Lacey nodded. “Mm, I’ll help to receive the guests.”

Dawn turned to her back and winked at Zeke as she rushed Lacey into the clinic.

Brother-in-law, I just got you out of big trouble. You owe me one.

The Great Marshal owes me a favour! I can brag about this for my whole life!

Inside the Clemons’ clinic.

Emily had seated her guests before walking out of the clinic. She needed to give an order to the restaurant to serve the dishes.

That was when she noticed that the Hinton’s clinic remained open.

She flashed a devious smile, “Hmph! You guys asked for it! Don’t blame me afterwards for being ruthless.”

She retraced her steps back into her clinic and found Wilber, “Mr. Wilber, it seems like people don’t take your words seriously.”

Wilber was clueless, “Emily, what are you talking about?”

Emily replied, “The Hinton family has opened their clinic again despite your warning. I think they’re challenging your authority.”

Wilber slammed his fist down on the table, “Those f**kers… I’ll teach them a lesson!”

Wilber then marched toward the Hinton’s clinic, his eyes glinted with hostility.

The remaining guests had lost interest in their tea.

They swarmed out of the clinic and were prepared to have a good laugh at the Hinton family – the laughing stock of the day.

Wilber approached the Hintons’ clinic and yelled, “Daniel Hinton! Come out this instant!”

He heard footfalls and the next moment a group of people showed up. They were all dressed in suits and posed an intimidating aura.

The Clemons’ guests gazed in awe as they put their fingers on their identity.

Evan Schneider – the richest man in Oakheart City!

Liam George — the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau!

Leo Kingston – the director of the Drug Administration!

Dylan Dickson – the head of the Merwin District Police Station!

Good lord, all these big shots have traversed around the city to converge in the Hinton’s clinic.

Each and every one of them was big fish in their own realm. They were no doubt the most prominent and influential people in Oakheart City.

The Clemons’ guests were shabby when compared to these people.

To them, Daniel was just an ordinary doctor. It struck them like a bolt out of the blue that Daniel was so skilled at networking.

They all wished they could travel back in time to stop themselves from supporting the Clemons.

Daniel was poised as he confronted Wilber. “Section chief Wilber, what’s the matter?”

Wilber was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Leo Kingston, his superior, was powerful enough to crush him like an ant, not to mention the other influential present.

“Daniel… I mean… Mr. Hinton, congrats on your opening,” Wilber said, his voice trembling.

He fished out a stack of cash from his pocket and shoved it towards Daniel. “This is my small gift, please accept it.”

However, Daniel turned it down, “Section chief Wilber, I remember you being the one who closed down my clinic just now. Why are you suddenly giving me an opening gift?”

Wilber was soaked with sweat. “That was a joke. …I was just kidding around.”

Leo Kingston scolded him harshly, “You idiot! How could you be so irresponsible!”

“Wilber, you will be charged for abuse of authority and negligence in your duty. You’ll be put under investigation. Now, get lost!”
