The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 243: Chapter 243 Trickery and Deception_1

Cindy Harrison’s face went pale with fear, and she took several steps back, saying in panic, “Wait… I didn’t say that you…”

Judy Lampe was also terrified, but still said with forced bravery, “Cindy, don’t be afraid, they are the patrol from Riverhaven County, they don’t have the right to arrest people here!”

Upon hearing her words, Micah Brent’s face was full of smiles as he said, “Feel free to try and resist, let’s see if I dare to enforce measures!”

Cindy Harrison’s legs went weak with fear, though being caught and taken to Riverhaven County wasn’t a big deal, as it wasn’t anything serious. With just a word from the Locke family, she could be released quickly.

But as Ethan Locke’s girlfriend, she couldn’t afford to lose face.

Thinking that if she were caught, it might affect her future status, Cindy Harrison, driven by desperation, shouted:

“You… you wouldn’t dare. My husband is the eldest son of the Locke family of Jamae City, touch me and see what happens!”

Micah Brent’s expression changed slightly as he looked toward Greg Jensen, his eyes filled with inquiry.

He was the patrol officer from Riverhaven County, and the act of enforcing the law in Jamae City was already overstepping his jurisdiction. If he provoked someone from the Locke family, he would be facing significant trouble too.

“Director Brent, let’s just let this go, after all, it’s my opening day, please give me this face.”

Greg Jensen understood Micah Brent’s meaning, and since he didn’t want to cause any trouble on this day either, he quickly provided Brent with a way out.

Micah Brent snorted coldly and glared at Cindy Harrison as he said in a deep voice, “Today, for Mr. Jensen’s sake, I’ll not take this further with you.”

Cindy Harrison was someone who wouldn’t relent if she had the upper hand. Seeing that Micah Brent had backed down, she got emboldened and taunted loudly:

“Thought you were so tough? Try touching me and see what happens!”

Micah Brent’s face turned red with restraint, and unable to say anything further, he could only glare with round, angry eyes and snorted coldly before he walked into the courtyard.

Chestor Ware came up beside Greg Jensen, without saying anything, but his eyes clearly showed his concern.

Greg Jensen smiled and said in a low voice, “Let her be arrogant for a few more days.”

Chestor Ware breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile.

Taylor Ware, holding her father’s hand, also had a look full of concern on her face.

Hearing Greg Jensen’s words, she couldn’t help but scoff and muttered, “Playing tricks, serves you right to be unlucky.”

“Taylor, shut up!”

“Hmm, I know.”

Chestor Ware was quite helpless and gave Greg Jensen an apologetic smile, “My apologies, Brother Jensen, Taylor is just…”

“It’s fine, I understand; you all go inside first.”

“Alright.”

Chestor Ware nodded, glanced at Cindy Harrison, and then walked into the courtyard with Taylor Ware.

“Congratulations, Mr. Jensen.”

“Mr. Jensen, wishing you a prosperous business!”

The other wealthy individuals from Riverhaven County also came over, reviving the previously solemn atmosphere.

One after another, the wealthy from Riverhaven County came forward to offer their congratulations, their attitudes filled with respect.

Cindy Harrison stood by watching, her eyes revealing confusion.

Although she didn’t know these people, by their attire and appearance, she could tell they were of considerable worth.

Greg Jensen was just a poor boy from a mountain village, how could he know so many wealthy individuals?

And the way these tycoons treated Greg Jensen seemed excessively good, almost like subordinates offering gifts to a superior, rather than friends congratulating each other.

Their respect was almost unseemly!

What exactly is their relationship with Greg Jensen?

Cindy Harrison didn’t know that at this moment, Kingsley Harrison was also filled with shock.

Kingsley Harrison knew that Greg Jensen had a wide network in Riverhaven County, but he didn’t expect Greg’s connections to be so extensive.

A private kitchen opening was all it took, yet it brought out all the tycoons of Riverhaven County.

Having been the manager at the Reverie Inn for many years, he had basically met all of the people who came to offer congratulations today.

Before, he had to be extremely careful around them, fearing he might anger them, but today these tycoons’ attitudes were quite low.

Even when facing him, they all wore smiles as warm and pleasant as a spring breeze.

This couldn’t help but give rise to a sense of inexplicable pride in Kingsley Harrison’s heart, as if he were borrowing someone else’s glory for himself.

What made him feel even more triumphant was that these tycoons were all very particular; after each of them had finished their congratulations, they would glare fiercely at Cindy Harrison.

Cindy Harrison was so angry that she turned pale, and snapped, “A bunch of rubes who’ve never seen the world, what does it matter if there are many people offering congratulations? They’re like dog meat that will never make it to the feast!”

Unable to hold back, Kingsley Harrison retorted, “Even if we haven’t seen the world, we are still better than you, a nasty woman with no manners!”

Spencer Burley couldn’t help but say, “Cindy Harrison, you’re not part of the Locke family yet, don’t go too far.”

Cindy Harrison angrily said, “Spencer Burley, is it? Do you have a say here? By saying that, are you looking down on the Locke family, wanting the Burley family to go to war with them?”

Go to war with the Locke family?

Spencer Burley naturally didn’t have the guts for that.

But, hearing Cindy Harrison’s harsh words and seeing her contemptuous gaze, how could the always willful Spencer Burley hold back?

He pointed at Cindy Harrison and angrily said, “You’re nothing but a social-climbing green tea bitch, what right do you have to represent the Locke family?”

Adrian Wright scoffed, “Spencer’s right, you should wait until you actually marry into the Locke family before you talk like this.”

Cindy Harrison was so angry she was almost gasping for breath, pointing at Adrian Wright and Spencer Burley she said, “You… very good, the Burley and Wright families, is it? Just you wait!”

After saying that, she shouted at Judy Lampe, “Call Jay Brent and tell him to send people over to block the entrance.

I said no one is allowed to enter Dreamscape Garden today without my say-so!”

“Okay, I’ll call right now!”

Judy Lampe looked at Spencer Burley and the others with disdain and then took out her phone, ready to call Jay Brent.

Just then, a Volkswagen stopped at the entrance of Dreamscape Garden.

The car was a bit old, and many parts seemed rather worn, but it was well-cleaned and gave the first impression of being modest and tidy.

Seeing this car, Cindy Harrison was stunned for a moment, feeling that it looked familiar, as though she had seen it somewhere before.

But for the moment, she couldn’t recall where.

Just as she was puzzled, the Volkswagen’s driver came running down and earnestly opened the rear door, and a middle-aged man with a serious face stepped out.

“Jonathon Milton? The Health Bureau Chief Jonathon Milton? He… why did he come here?”

Cindy Harrison was suddenly dumbstruck, but soon regained her composure, and with a sycophantic smile on her face, she hurriedly approached him.

“Chief Milton, long time no see.”

At the sound of her somewhat sweet and coquettish voice, Chief Milton frowned slightly, turned his head for a look, and seemed to recognize Cindy Harrison, then nodded his head.

Cindy Harrison smiled, ready to introduce herself, but saw that Chief Milton had already turned his head away from her and instead walked towards Greg Jensen with a beaming smile.

“Mr. Jensen, congratulations!”
