Adan Gilliam’s hand holding the phone trembled slightly, his expression was extremely unsightly.

He had never expected that Carson Flores would actually refuse him, and even hang up his phone!

Leonard Reid was right there watching, and this was utterly embarrassing!

That damned kid!

Seeing Adan Gilliam’s demeanor, Leonard Reid’s smile faded, “What’s the matter, he doesn’t want to help?”

Adan Gilliam forced a smile, “He’s a bit busy on his end, Mr.

Reid, please take a seat, I’ll call him again, to urge him a bit.”

Leonard Reid felt a jolt in his heart, thinking, does this kid Carson not even give face to his future father-in-law?

Things seemed to be veering off course again, and Leonard Reid began to feel restless.

If Carson feels that he’s being pressurized by Adan Gilliam because of me, and if he doesn’t care about the pressure from the Gilliam side, then he’ll only end up hating me even more.

“Adan, you need to clarify to Mr.

Flores that I’m here to apologize, you really mustn’t let him misunderstand.”

Leonard Reid was a cunning man; saying this in front of Samantha Tate was also a way for him to secure an exit strategy for himself.

It’s not that I came to Adan Gilliam to pressure you, it’s a misunderstanding, an error in expression, but it’s certainly not my, Leonard’s, fault!

Adan Gilliam inwardly marveled, could it be this kid was so skilled in medicine now?

To think that even someone as well-connected as Leonard Reid needed his help, had to approach with a smile, even take the initiative to apologize?

“Don’t worry, Mr.

Reid, I understand,” Adan Gilliam reassured his guest, then turned to face Samantha Tate, who was counting her fingers on one side, and said, “Samantha, come to the study for a moment.”

Samantha Tate blinked, obediently got up, but her eyes revealed a hint of slyness.

Earlier, when Leonard Reid had come over and made his intentions clear, Adan Gilliam told Samantha Tate to call Carson.

However, Samantha refused to make the call.

“Since he has refused, he surely has his reasons for refusing.

I won’t make the call; if you want to call, you go ahead, but don’t involve me!”

Adan Gilliam, fuming, made the call himself, only to be rejected by Carson, and Samantha was secretly delighted. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

She knew this would be the outcome!

She had been waiting for this moment!

Once in the study, the door shut behind them, and Adan Gilliam, who had been holding back his frustration, could no longer restrain himself.

He slammed his hand on the desk, his voice filled with anger, “What the hell does he want?

What!

He actually hung up on me, gave me the cold shoulder—if he acts like this, he can forget about entering the Gilliam family or marrying you.

He’s dreaming!”

Samantha Tate said quietly, “You never planned to agree to him marrying me anyway.

Now it’s just about treating Grandpa.

I guess once that’s done, you’ll find a way to get him to leave me.

Probably after a man-to-man talk and a check…”

Adan Gilliam pointed at Samantha Tate, looking extremely awkward, yet without a word to refute.

Because Samantha Tate was right, he had indeed planned to do just that.

Feeling somewhat humiliated, Adan Gilliam defended himself with irritation, “Even if I had such thoughts, wasn’t it for your own good?”

Samantha Tate curled her lips and remained silent.

Pacing back and forth in the room, thinking of Leonard Reid outside, Adan Gilliam gritted his teeth and said, “Call him and tell him, regarding Mr.

Reid’s grandson’s treatment, it’s a must; he has to do it.

If he can’t manage, then tell him to scram and never come looking for you again.”

Samantha Tate sighed, “Then he’ll be too happy.”

Adan Gilliam froze, his expression blank, “What do you mean?

What are you saying?”

Samantha Tate, with a helpless look, said, “Things have come this far, so I might as well tell you the truth.

Actually, he never said he wanted to marry me, let alone enter the Gilliam family.

That has all been your wishful thinking.”

Adan Gilliam was shocked, “Then what’s going on with you two, aren’t you dating?”

Samantha Tate smiled bitterly, “I met him on the street; I was crossing the road without looking, and he pulled me back.

If not for him, I would probably have been hit by a truck.

I was grateful, so I left my contact information.

One thing led to another, and I fell in love with him, hopelessly…”

Samantha Tate covered her face with her hands, looking too embarrassed to show her face, “Actually, it was always me pestering him to be my boyfriend.

He only reluctantly agreed to try because he couldn’t put up with me any longer.

The man originally had no such intentions.

He’s a capable person; to him, the Gilliam’s assets are nothing.”

Adan Gilliam was dumbstruck, his world turned upside down.

He had always looked down on Carson, thinking he wasn’t good enough for his daughter.

As it turned out, it wasn’t that Carson was pursuing his daughter, but it was his daughter, shamelessly clinging onto him, threatening life and death…

Adan Gilliam angrily said, “He’s just a poor kid with nothing, what right does he have to look down on you?”

Samantha Tate nodded her chin towards the outside, “The ‘Real Estate King’, Mr.

Reid, has enough money and clout, right?

Did Carson bother with him?

And yet he still has to come and beg Carson in a roundabout way.

Carson is capable and has his sights set high.

If he wants to make money, it’s just a matter of minutes.

Not to mention anything else, just for helping Mr.

Reid save his grandson—when the hospitals are helpless and the famous doctors are at a loss—only he can save him.

To ask for a billion yuan for it, is that excessive?

There are certainly many people in this world with more money and power than Mr.

Reid, and there are sick people in every family.

As soon as Carson opens his mouth, there will be countless people begging to give him money…”

Adan Gilliam was at a loss for words.

A billion for a life, is that too much?

Wealth has a price, life is priceless.

Is Leonard Reid willing to spend a billion to save his grandson?

Even if it pains him, he would definitely be willing.

In other words, even if Carson didn’t want money, just the debt of gratitude for saving a life would have been enough to skyrocket Carson’s success.

But did he agree?

He refused!

Adan Gilliam’s head spun as he finally understood why the other party dared to refuse him.

The man simply didn’t care; and there he was, acting as the pompous elder with a disdainful face, speaking with a condescending tone, commanding someone else to come over…

So embarrassing!

Too embarrassing!
