Chapter 138 The Hidden Surprise of Wynter’s Identity
“I, I…” Larry was utterly speechless.
Ultimately, it was Wynter who came to his rescue. She whispered to Margaret, “Grandma, he’s recommended by the Lopez family and has appeared on the Southdale TV station.”
“Is that so?” Margaret’s attitude changed instantly and turned to look at Larry. “Then he’s a VIP guest. We must treat him well!”
Upon hearing that, Larry felt a sense of relief in the fact that he had appeared on TV for the past couple of days.
“There’s no need for any special treatment. I-” Larry began to decline, but Wynter chimed in with a smile, “We’ve got to treat him to a meal. I’ll take him out later.”
“That’s right. We should grab a meal together.” Margaret, like many older folks, tended to believe what she heard on TV. “Mr. Lopez still remembers us.”
Larry was left wondering which “Mr. Lopez” Margaret was referring to.
Wynter glanced at him. “Mr. Lopez Senior has always been supportive. He helped increase my popularity during my live streams, which got Mr. Hilton interested. Initially, Mr. Hilton only planned to invest in the Lopez family. As for the Empathy Clinic, it could be considered
a fortuitous investment.”
Larry, who had traveled from Kingbourne to Southdale, wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip by. He nodded enthusiastically. “Exactly! The Empathy Clinic is only an additional
investment!
Margaret finally let her guard down and whispered to Wynter, “Is Mr. Lopez also involved in
this collaboration?”
“He’ll be there to sign the contract,” Wynter replied calmly. “Mr. Hilton only came here to get to know us.”
Larry nodded quickly. “That’s right. I’d like to get to know you!”
If other people in the business world saw Larry’s current compliance, they might begin to suspect that he was under a spell!
For fear that it might haunt him later, Jerry refrained from lingering on Larry’s compliant demeanor.
Margaret remained cautious. “If you’re dining out, take Wolf along with you.”
Larry was puzzled and wondered who, exactly, Wolf was.
Just then, a boy in a lab coat, who had a large black leather bag slung over his shoulders, walked over. He lifted his eyes and smirked at Larry.
Larry was stunned upon seeing Wolf and stuttered, “H–How did he get here?”
“He?” Margaret sensed that something was off. She frowned and inquired, “Mr. Hilton, do you know Wolf?”
It had always been Margaret’s heartfelt wish to help Wolf find his family.
Margaret had firmly decided that if Wolf was indeed an abandoned child, she would take this secret to her grave and leave him a house.
But if Wolf’s parents were searching for him, she would make sure to promptly reunite him with them.
Wynter noticed the tension and gave Larry a meaningful look.
Sensing his mistake, Larry hurriedly spoke up, “I did meet this young friend once!”
At that moment, Larry must have summoned the courage of a lion to refer to Wolf as a young friend.
With the instincts of a seasoned businessman, Larry quickly added, “He once helped me out. I’ve been looking for him for ages, and I’ve finally found him here! Madam, it seems that fate has brought us together!”
Margaret was doubtful of his words and turned to Wolf to ask, “Did you really help him?”
After a moment’s thought, Wolf nodded and gestured.
Margaret chuckled and affectionately patted his head as she teased, “You’re such a little money–lover! How can you expect payment after lending a hand?”
Wolf lifted his head defiantly and glanced at Larry, as if questioning why he couldn’t expect some reward for helping someone out.
“No. I should be paying!” Larry exclaimed and reached for his checkbook.
The thoughtful Wolf gently placed his leather bag on the ground and revealed the payment code printed on his clothes. Then, he raised his hand and pointed at it, as if he was trying to say, “Scan this!”
Jerry couldn’t help but wonder if Wolf really was twelve years old.
Wolf’s actions truly reflected his position as someone under Boss, and his move was
undeniably brilliant!
