By six o’clock in the evening, Maggie had arrived at Alex’s residence, ready to drive him personally tothe airport. When she saw Alex approaching the car, she greeted him with a raise of her hand, sayingapologetically, “Mr. Jefferson, this is terribly inconvenient for you, isn’t it? You have to accompany me toLumenopolis too…”
Alex smiled pleasantly as he waved that away. “Ah, Ms. Grant, there’s no need to be so polite.”
As he finished speaking, he noticed a ‘gorgeous bracelet on her wrist. Curiously, he asked, “Is this thebracelet you misplaced the other day? It’s quite a pretty bracelet.”
Maggie nodded her head vigorously. “Thank you, my mum left this for me in her will. I treasure this asmuch as I do my life! Had it not been for you, Mr. Jefferson, I have no idea if I could ever find it again. Itmight have been lost forever!”
Alex smiled, not interested in taking credit. “I believe you and the bracelet aren’t fated to part just yet.Who knows, you might have found it yourself soon enough even if I didn’t interfere.”
Knowing Alex was just being humble, she quickly added, “Oh, Mr. Jefferson, you are the most amazingman I know! For a man as gifted as you to be so humble…this had to be unheard of!” She gushed.
Alex waved a hand lazily to cut her brown–nosing off. “Oh, enough of us praising each other. Let’s getinto the car, shall we?” He stepped into Maggie’s car after saying that.
Maggie grinned, following after him. Who would ever know Mr. Jefferson can be this easy–going.
Maggie drove them straight to the airport, where her small plane, not a helicopter, was parked in theairport.
“The route I applied for is half an hour later. So, why don’t we grab a cup of coffee as we wait?” Maggiesuggested as they walked into the airport.
“Sure.” Alex nodded agreeably. Half an hour will be over in a flash. And anyway, since I am going toLumenopolis to help them out, I don’t mind dawdling my time away a bit.
Entering Maggie’s private plane, he admired its beautiful interior. Besides a few rooms assigned forbodyguards, there were several areas designated for air hostesses and an office. The whole interiorwas exquisitely decorated.
Alex reclined against a comfortable armchair as Maggie personally poured him a cup of coffee. The twoof them passed the time quickly as they chatted amicably over coffee.
The flight from Nebula City to Lumenopolis was approximately three hours long. By the time theyarrived at the Grant family’s residence, it was already 11 p.m.
The mansion was a structure of oriental architecture, its exterior was grand and stately. Mostimpressive of all was its extensive gardens, the blossoming flowers depicting a picture of elegance andtaste.
Beyond the massive house, the reality of owning such expansive land in Lumenopolis was abundantproof of just how influential and powerful the Grant family really was.
Under Maggie’s guide, Alex arrived at the Grant family’s main courtyard. Just as he entered the frontdoor, he noticed a nattily–dressed man guiding a regal–looking old man, with a young girl beside them,walking in their direction.

Maggie introduced them, gesturing, “This is Nebula City’s most influential man, Mr. Jefferson, and thisis my cousin Louis Grant.”
“Nice to meet you,” Alex greeted, offering a hand.
However, Louis didn’t even acknowledge Alex at all, let alone shaking his hand. “Mr. Jefferson?” hequestioned skeptically.novelbin
Louis then glowered at Maggie, his gaze filled with contempt. “Maggie, how could you hire such ayoung doctor to treat grandpa? Don’t you think you are being rather childish?”
Alex didn’t feel awkward despite being caught in such a situation. He just retrieved his hand.
When they were on the plane, Maggie had told him that their grandfather’s condition had worsened andthe odds of him dying were alarmingly high.

And so, the way the Grant family members were treating their grandfather now was really something tomull over.
