“Carson doesn’t have money, but that’s okay; my family has money.”
Before Carson could reply, Samantha Tate had already spoken first, “I’m my dad’s only daughter; would he really bear to see me suffer?
As long as Carson truly loves me and treats me well, that’s all that matters, isn’t it, Dad?
You also hope that I find someone who treats me well, not just someone who’s rich, right?”
Ethan was suddenly at a loss for words.
Could it really be like this?
Eating soft rice, but with pride?
Adan Gilliam’s face darkened by a shade.
His daughter’s words put him in a spot where he could neither object nor consent without difficulty.
After a moment’s thought, he finally spoke.
“Of course, treating you well is the most important, but a man also needs to have the ability.
A man’s charm ultimately lies in his capability.
If he is only meticulous, good at taking care, then hiring a caretaker can get the job done, possibly even better.”
“You also said, you are my only daughter.
In the future, naturally, the company will be handed over to you and your husband.
You have no clue about managing a company; if your husband is also incapable, then the company will inevitably fail in the competition, collapse, or even become heavily indebted.
How can you ensure a comfortable and happy life?
Are you really determined to join your husband in working nine to five?”
Ethan breathed a sigh of relief; he had no idea how to continue the conversation just now.
The older, the wiser!
“Uncle Adan is right.
A man should carve out a piece of the sky for his woman, shelter her from the wind and rain.
If a man relies on his woman to ask her family for money, he might as well be dead.”
Carson looked up and laughed, “Like you?”
Ethan countered sharply, “Not like me.
Perhaps you’d prefer to be the one appraised?”
Carson turned to look at Samantha Tate, his eyes filled with deep affection, “Right now, I really have nothing, but I will work hard from here on out.
I will surely make you lead a happy and joyful life.”
With Carson looking at her like that, Samantha Tate’s heartbeat quickened by a beat.
Even though she knew Carson was acting, his gaze was so warm, so gentle, and full of adoration, it stirred ripples deep inside her, softening her own gaze as well.
“Mhm, I believe you’ll definitely be able to do it.”
The interaction between Samantha Tate and Carson immediately scattered dog food all over the place.
Except for the relieved smile on Emma White’s face, the Newman father and son duo and Adan Gilliam all had instantly sour expressions.
Ethan snorted with a cold laugh, “Sweet nothings, anyone can say them, but how many can actually do it?”
Carson remained unaffected by Ethan’s words, confidently saying, “I may not be able to provide Samantha with wealth rivaling nations, but a carefree life is still within my reach.
Not to mention, with my medical skills, earning a few tens of millions a year is easily done.”
Ethan scoffed sarcastically, “You don’t even have a Physician’s certificate, who would dare to let you treat them?”
Carson explained, “Vincent Ward can introduce patients to me, those high-profile cases that hospitals can’t handle.
If I can save lives that others can’t, then charging a few million for a consultation fee isn’t too much, is it?
After all, they have money, and their lives are quite valuable, aren’t they?”
Carson glanced at Adan Gilliam and Emma White, continuing, “The circle of the powerful isn’t that big.
I don’t need Vincent Ward to keep introducing patients to me indefinitely.
As long as I cure a few in a row, I won’t even have to promote myself; they will naturally spread the word, and I’ll just sit back and wait for the money to come knocking at my door.”
Ethan was dismissive, “Keep boasting.
You’re like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, having cured Old Master Dariel once, and now you think you can do it every time?
If your medical skills were that great, you would’ve already been in the military hospital, not discharged from the service.”
Carson stared at Ethan, a faint smile on his face, “You don’t believe me?
Would you like me to check your health?”
Ethan laughed scornfully, “I’m young and healthy.
What’s there to check?
What, are you going to advise me to eat fewer chili peppers and drink more water?”
Carson shook his head, “No, you’re sick.”
Ethan instinctively cursed, “You’re the sick one!”
Vincent Ward, who had been silent all along, gestured with his hand to stop Ethan, smiling, “Carson, go ahead and tell us, what’s wrong with Ethan?”
Carson’s expression hesitated for a moment, “It’s not easy to say.”
Ethan’s cold laughter followed, “Is it not easy to say, or is there nothing to say at all? ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
How about it, you scare first, then swindle?
Such tricks are overplayed, aren’t they?”
Adan Gilliam spoke up, “Carson, if you have something to say, then just say it.
Don’t hold back.”
Vincent Ward also urged, “Right, just say it.
If there’s something wrong, we’ll get it treated.”
Carson, fixing his gaze on Ethan, with a ‘it’s not me who wants to say this, you’re forcing me to’ expression, “Shall I just say it plainly?”
Ethan unhesitatingly said, “Speak!
If you can’t make a clear case today, that means you’re a fraud.
Samantha, you better open your eyes wide and not be deceived!”
Carson sighed, “You’re not up to par.”
Ethan angrily said, “You were talking about checking for illnesses, what’s all this about not being up to par?
Stop beating around the bush!”
Carson calmly declared, “I am talking about checking for illnesses.
Your illness is that you’re not functioning in that aspect.”
