Chapter 85 Failed To Recognize Prominence

Old Mr. Parks only thought that lan Lawrence was a close friend of Annalise from the village.

He didn’t know that lan Lawrence was Jonathan Woods, the disciple of elder Quigley, and also the man all families were trying to get on their side.

During the meal, Old Mr. Parks politely urged Jonathan, “lan, have more food and treat it like your own home. Annalise came from Horington to Jadeborough and she does not have any relatives or friends here. Come visit us more often in the future since you are going to be working at Jadesborough.”

“Okay, okay.” Jonathan felt more at ease when he saw that Old Mr. Parks was sincerely treating Annalise well.

Samuel was Parks Group’s most authoritative person. As long as he treated Annalise well, Annalise would not suffer any mistreatment in the future.

“If you need help at work, just ask. We’ll do our best to help,” Samuel said politely.

“Thank you, Mr. Parks. I don’t need anything for the time being. I’m just an ordinary doctor who joined Metropolis Hospital,” Jonathan said.

Metropolis Hospital was actually not called Metropolis Hospital in the past.

The founder of the hospital, Ben Chase, had a long history with Joseph Quigley.

Ten years ago, when the hospital was about to go bankrupt, Ben Chase went to Horington to visit Joseph Quigley. After that, Joseph Quigley bought the hospital and changed its name to Metropolis Hospital.

Metropolis, as it was located in the capital city.

Annalise only knew that Joseph Quigley had the hospital’s shares, but she did not know that the entire hospital belonged to Joseph Quigley.

After Joseph Quigley bought the hospital, the director of the hospital was still the former founder, Ben Chase.

Joseph Quigley discussed with Ben Chase for a few days and changed the operating mode of the hospital. He also used his connections to attract a large number of medical talents to the hospital. After that, the situation got better. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Incompetent doctors were gradually eliminated. After ten years, Metropolis became the best hospital in the entire Jadeborough.

Metropolis Hospital became the first choice for those rich or powerful.

That was because Metropolis Hospital’s equipment was the most advanced, and had the most capable doctors.

“Good, that’s good. Metropolis Hospital is very good,” Samuel praised sincerely.

In Tony Parks’s villa.

The helpers also began to serve the dishes.

Alexander and Abigail planned to rush to Horington to ask around about elder Quigley after dinner.

In a few days, they would return to pick up Jonathan Woods from the airport.

There was also the winter showcase the coming Friday.

They were indeed very busy!

Layla suddenly received a text message. She frowned, paused her actions, and said, “Samuel has a guest. Apparently, he is Annalise’s brother from her hometown. Samuel and Julian are being very polite to him. I wonder if he might have anything to do with elder Quigley?”

The more Layla thought about it, the more she frowned. She had a feeling that someone whom Samuel and Julian Parks was both polite to would not be a small fry.

However, with Annalise’s status, how would she know any big shots?

Unless it was really related to the old man Annalise saved.

Abigail said disdainfully, “Annalise grew up in the countryside. Her mother only had one child and passed away when Annalise was three. How could she have a brother? He must be a friend from the countryside.

Perhaps he thought that Annalise got rich and wanted to come over to bask in the glory.

“As for Samuel and Julian being polite to him, isn’t it just for Analise’s sake?”

“That makes sense.” Layla agreed with Abigail, but she was still worried. She suggested to Alexander, “Alex, why don’t you go over and take a look?”

Alexander was a smart person. He also felt that no matter who the guest was, he would feel more at ease if he took a look himself.

Hence, he put down his cutleries and got up.

“I’ll go with you,” Abigail said immediately.

Tony had not been at home for the past two days. It was just the three of them at home. Once Alexander left, Abigail would have to face Layla alone. She was so annoyed by all kinds of political classes that Layla educated her on all day, but she could only listen and agree obediently.

“No need. Pack your luggage. I will come back in a short while,” Alexander said and stood up.

Abigail had no choice but to stay behind and face Layla alone.

On Annalise’s side.

Jonathan placed some dishes on Annalie’s plate.

That made Julian uncomfortable. He immediately filled Analise’s plate with food.

Annalise looked at her overflowing plate and was speechless. She looked at Julian and asked resentfully, “Tell me, where should I start?”

“You could gnaw,” Julian said.

Initially, he was a little jealous and in a bad mood, but seeing her cute reaction, he couldn’t help but laugh again. He said gently, ‘gnaw a few bites before using cutleries.”

“Don’t put food on my plate next time,” Annalise complained again.

Jonathan looked at the couple flirting and smiled again.

Samuel also smiled and kept urging Jonathan. “lan, eat more.”

“Okay, okay.”

As soon as Alexander entered, he saw Samuel politely urging Jonathan to have more food.

Originally, his mother suggested that the guest might be related to elder Quigley, and he also felt that it was possible, so he decided to go over personally and take a look.

As he walked over, a thought even flashed across his mind. Could it be that Jonathan had returned to the country in advance?

Could it be that Annalise, that cunning woman, actually had a trick up her sleeve? In reality, she had always been in contact with elder Quigley. So she knew in advance that Jonathan had returned to the country, then she persuaded him to Julian’s side.

He even imagined that he would see a middle-aged man with a beer belly.

According to their investigation, Jonathan was 50 years old.

Hence he did not expect to see a fashionable middle-aged man who looked to be 40 years old at most.

He was even wearing a Paul Frank T-shirt. He might only be in his thirties, just that he looked more mature than his actual age.

Hearing that Samuel called the man lan, Alexander was even more relieved.

There was no “lan” in “Jonathan Woods”.

Alexander greeted them with a smile. “Samuel, Julian. Do you have a guest?”

*Alexander is here? Have you eaten? If not, join us for the meal,” Samuel said kindly.

Samuel actually liked that grandson of his.

Every time Alexander said that he was not given a choice to not be an illegitimate child, Samuel would feel that he might have imperceptibly hurt Alexander while he tried to protect Julian.

Therefore, he always felt that he owed Alexander something deep down.

“Haha, I haven’t eaten yet. Bring me a set of cutleries.” Alexander ordered. He decided to sit down and listen to what kind of person that man was while eating.

He was afraid that his appearance would be too abrupt, so he deliberately explained to Samuel, “Samuel, I’ll be accompanying Abbie back to her parent’s house in a while. I come over to inform you that I might be gone for a few days. Don’t worry, I will rush back before the showcase.”

“Alright, you can arrange it,” Samuel replied.

Alexander then looked at Jonathan and greeted him with a smile, “Hello, I’m the Parks family’s second son, Alexander Parks.”

“Hello, I’m… I’m lan Lawrence from Princeville.” Jonathan had not gotten used to his new identity and almost exposed himself.
