Chapter 135
Mr. Rogers Sr. looked at his seemingly well-behaved son and said coldly, “How many times have I told
you, never underestimate anyone! If you dare to show that sort of look at Mr. Johnston again before me,
you can forget about those legs of yours!”
Jallen bowed his head and said respectfully, “Yes, Father.”
It was only then that Mr. Rogers Sr. nodded with satisfaction. He still needed his son of his to preside
over the banquet later, and that was why he held back. “Get up. By the way, have you managed to
contact the famous doctor that I asked you to? Have you sent him an invitation
yet?”
When Jallen heard that, he frowned. “Father, I’ye asked our technicians to investigate that famous doctor
you mentioned. There’s no such person across Hustuaburg. Were there any mistakes with the
information you had?”
When Mr. Rogers Sr. heard that, he exploded into anger. “You’re useless! How dare you
question me? Do you think that now I’ve delegated some authority to you, you can afford to not listen to
me? You probably didn’t even conduct a proper search! I don’t believe the hackers you hired are all that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtuseless! Let me tell you this: since I gave you the authority, I can also take it back at any time. Don’t you
dare rest on your laurels!”
When Jallen heard that, he was so terrified that his soul temporarily fled his body. He immediately fell to
his knees. “Father, I’ve really tried my best to search for him! But that person’s information seemingly just
vanished into thin air, as if he had never appeared in Hustuaburg before. None of my men could find any
tracks at all, and all those top-level hackers say that there’s no such person!”
When Mr. Rogers Sr. heard that, his expression not only did not improve, but he became even more
gloomy. He touched his ring finger as his voice trembled a little. “No more delays. No matter where he is,
you must find him for me! Or else I’ll get Christopher’s help instead. You hear me?”
Jallen immediately responded, “Yes, Father! I’ll get them to search day and night. I’ll give you an answer
within a week’s time!”
Mr. Rogers Sr. waved his hand. “Go then. Go and check how our guests are doing.”
Jallen nodded quickly as he got up and went to the front hall to entertain the guests.
Seeing Jallen leaving, Mr. Rogers Sr. stood there as his frail and pale body trembled uncontrollably as if
he was a piece of withered leaf in the wind.
All the servants looked at one another, not knowing if they should step forward or not. Suddenly, a
person came out from the crowd and steadied Mr. Rogers Sr. as he patted the latter on the back. “Father,
what’s wrong?”
Mr. Rogers Sr. grabbed his hand. After some difficulties, he managed to steady his breathing.” Shawn,
I’m fine”
The anxious expression on Shawn’s face did not seem to be fake as he held onto Mr. Rogers Sr. His
tone became a little heavier. “Father, you’re this sick, and you’re telling me you’re fine? What did our
doctor say? I know a very famous doctor; I’ll get him to check up on you tomorrow…”
Before Shawn could even complete his words, Mr. Rogers Sr. interrupted him. “Shawn, the banquet is
about to start. Help me over.” Shawn looked somewhat disapprovingly at him, “Father, your body is
already like that. There’s no need for you to personally appear in this banquet!”
Mr. Roger Sr. looked at his youngest son, whom he doted on the most, and then said slowly.” All of the
leading families are here. This is the best opportunity for me to introduce you to them. Shawn, let’s not
delay.”
It only then did Shawn reluctantly help Mr. Rogers Sr. to the front hall. In a corner that the latter could not
see, a hidden smile appeared on the corner of Shawn’s lips.
Shawn was Mr. Rogers Sr.’s illegitimate son, who was only eighteen years old this year. He was only

and they were not shy about making their opinions known to him.
Fortunately for him, Mr. Rogers Sr. placed great importance on him. The latter knew his time was running
out, so he was doing his best to pave the way for Shawn. Although he could never be the master of the
Rogers family, what Mr. Rogers Sr. prepared for him was enough for him to live without any worries for
the rest of his life.
But he had been suffering from his mother for ten odd years now, and when he finally came to the
Rogers household , he could only get a small portion of their massive wealth. How could Shawn take that
standing?
He had secretly instigated his father against his two elder brothers. His sister was already married and
so was already separated from her father long ago. Now in the Rogers family, Mr. Rogers Sr. only trusted
him alone.
As he held Mr. Rogers Sr. by his side, he took the latter’s hand as Mr. Rogers Sr. delivered the speech,
thanking everyone for attending the banquet. He then heard the latter introduce him to the guests, and
as the dignitaries raised a glass for him with a respectful look, Shawn felt good
‘He should be the center of everyone’s attention, being looked at in envy and awe!’
‘These were what the Rogers family owed him!’
