Chapter 49: Chapter 49 - Blind Arrogance
Mabel Sean could easily help someone with just a few words. She could make me the top businessman in River City or even Chuzzle. However, if I wanted to make it to Capital City, I needed my own abilities. Mabel knew this well, so instead of clearing obstacles for me, she aimed to let me grow while ensuring my safety.
The secretary beside her sighed softly, mumbling: "Love, it’s such a poison... Who could’ve imagined that the famous Mabel Sean from Capital City would fall in love in a small town like River City..."
Ever since Woods Walters spread the news, it had been circulating around River City. Not only related to the herbs company but even some powerful real estate businessmen wanted to get involved.
Lately, Harvey Brown had been following Carter Hill everywhere like a loyal dog.
"Mr. Hill, what’s the meaning of Woods Walters’ actions? Why is he openly selecting a partner?" Harvey Brown filled Carter Hill’s glass with water while asking.
Carter glanced at him and said indifferently, "It’s probably that old Chinese doctor’s idea. All these talented people are arrogant. Understandable."
Harvey nodded, then flattered, "That’s true, who in River City has more power than the Hill family?"
Carter didn’t speak, but there was a touch of pride on his face.
"As long as the Sean family doesn’t get involved, who dares to compete with me, Carter Hill?" he thought to himself.
Time flew.
In the blink of an eye, it was the third day.
That day, luxury cars filled the entrance of the No. 1 Grand Mansion, as many wealthy businessmen were waiting there.
"Ah, if only we had followed Mr. Raymond’s advice back then, we wouldn’t have needed to come and compete now!" Theo Williams couldn’t help but grumble.
Alec Williams also sighed slightly, "I thought Mason Raymond had no real skills... I didn’t expect... No wonder the Sean family supports him."
Both men regretted their decisions, but it was too late.
In the Great Hall, many businessmen were whispering, not knowing the origin of this so-called old Chinese doctor.
At this moment, the scene suddenly quieted down.
Looking over, Carter Hill and Harvey Brown were seen walking in from outside.
Carter’s arrival immediately cast a shadow over everyone’s hearts.
Everyone knew the power of the Hill family, they were top-tier even in Chuzzle, let alone a small town like River City?
"Mr. Hill, I didn’t expect you to come too!" A businessman quickly reacted and rushed over to please him.
If Carter were there, no one could compete with him.
Since they couldn’t compete, it was better to please Carter and then get the agency rights from him!
Soon, these old slickers all realized and rushed up one after another.
"Dad, should we go over?" Theo asked.
Alec shook his head and said, "Our relationship with the Hill family is already incompatible; going there would only be humiliating."
"True." Theo nodded and then smiled, "It seems that Carter doesn’t know that the Soul Nourishment Pill is made by Mason Raymond."
Facing everyone’s flattery, Carter seemed even more proud.
In his eyes, he didn’t think much of the River City businessmen.
He saw those so-called successful people in River City as nothing more than bottom-tier ants, not worth mentioning.
But now, to gain a foothold in River City, he needed their support, so even though he looked down on them, he still dealt with them one by one.
"Honey, you’re amazing!" Lyla Lucas whispered to Harvey Brown.
"As long as we cling to the Hill family, we’ll be making a fortune in the future, right?" Lyla’s eyes sparkled.
Harvey grinned with pride, "Naturally."
At this moment, he saw me walk in from outside.
Harvey’s face instantly turned cold as he saw me.
"What is he doing here?" A hint of disgust flashed in Lyla’s eyes as well.
Harvey snorted and walked over to me with Lyla.
"Yo, Mason Raymond, are you trying to get into this business too?" Harvey mocked.
I glanced at him and said with a half-smile, "Yes."
Harvey sneered, "Mason, do you think that just because you’re close to Woods Walters, you can get involved in this business?"
"Let me tell you, it’s impossible! This deal is arranged by Mr. Hill who holds the power of life and death!"
With that, Harvey changed his tone and said with some pride, "But I’m not the same, I had the chance to get close to Mr. Hill early!"
"Hubby is so awesome!" Lyla immediately chimed in.
Then, Lyla looked at me and mocked, "That’s why I say, ability is innate. A loser is a loser, even if they cling to the Sean family, they’re still just losers!"
