I’ve Got A Super Rich Dad

Chapter 17

Ethan was surprised for a moment, then he swiftly ran over to Maggie. After seeing Ethan, Maggie likewise got out of the car quickly.

“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault,” Maggie stood on the side of the road, shivering with anxiety. Seeing Ethan’s injuries, she bowed slightly and said, “Please...”

This time, before Maggie could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ethan. Ethan said, “It’s okay, it’s not your fault. What happened?”

Maggie frowned and said, “Is there anything urgent? If it’s not so urgent, please come with me.”

Ethan saw the serious look on Maggie’s face and couldn’t help wondering where she was going to take him.

Ethan turned his head and looked at Joanna’s family center across the street. He didn’t want to break his promise again and be laughed at.

But when Ethan saw the sense of urgency on Maggie’s face, he suddenly felt that something had happened.

Ethan contemplated for a moment, then said, “Let’s go.”

“Maggie is in such a hurry to find me. Maybe it’s something serious,” Ethan thought. “Anyway, since there is still half an hour left.”

“Let’s go,” Ethan said lightly. Then Maggie started the car and left slowly.

As soon as the car left, Charles and Dylan rushed out of the clinic.

However, the two of them looked at the empty road and then at each other. “Oh my god. Ethan will be really upset this time!” Dylan sighed.

Charles glared at the clinic and said angrily, “What’s wrong with Elle now? She’s crazy!”

The more Charles thought about it, the angrier he became. He really wanted to tell Elle that it was Ethan who helped pay for the meal when they didn’t have enough money.

But he calmed down and thought, “Even if I say so, Elle still won’t believe it.” What a foolish girl! As long as it was about Ethan, she didn’t believe it at all. “Let’s go!” Charles sighed and turned his head and left.

However, he was thinking that Elle had a very deep misunderstanding of Ethan. After all, one was his friend and the other was his cousin. It was really a dilemma for him to see them against each other. “Then what should I do?”

In the clinic, Joanna packed up the equipment she just used to apply medicine to Ethan, but her face was always gloomy.

She was a little disdainful of Elle now. She couldn’t even understand why Elle would treat Ethan like this. Elle didn’t take it seriously. She hated Ethan so badly.

In her opinion, since Joanna was her best friend, she shouldn’t be so kind to Ethan even if she didn’t hate him.

She didn’t want to lose her friend, Joanna, since she did not have many friends.

Elle thought for a while. In this case, if she could create some misunderstandings between Joanna and Ethan, Joanna would definitely come back to her side at that time.

While Elle was thinking, she suddenly thought of Ethan’s watch.

Although Joanna put the watch into her bag recently, it was just a show. Half of the watch was still exposed.

Elle took a look inside and Joanna hadn’t returned.

She was a little hesitant, but eventually, she still put the watch into her pocket.

Almost at the same time, Joanna also walked inside. She glanced at Elle but didn’t say anything.

Elle was on tenterhooks right now. She looked at Joanna and asked, “Joanna, I heard on Wednesday, there is a star event in Empire Hotel. Do you want to go? If you want—”

Before Elle could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Joanna. “I’m not going.”

Joanna’s tone was rough and she refused her so completely, which made Elle feel like she was showing too much interest to a cold person.

Elle knew that the star event is elite and the people who could attend it were popular in Buckeye.

Elle’s family background was so-so, but her dad was on quite good terms with a manager of the Empire Hotel. It so happened that the manager was in charge of distributing the invites, so having a few extra tickets was really just a matter of a few words.

Elle sulked madly and mumbled, “Humph, you know nothing. Do you understand how superior this party is? Those who can go are either rich or respectful. You really don’t know how to appreciate opportunities!”

From Elle’s perspective, Joanna was so pretty. She should go to more parties like this. Who knew if she could catch and marry a millionaire?

Obviously, Joanna didn’t think about it at all. She didn’t even look at Elle and said in a cold voice, “If you like these kinds of parties so much, you should go yourself.”

Hearing Joanna’s words, Elle gnashed her teeth in anger. “You and Ethan, the poor loser, are a perfect match!”

After she finished speaking, Elle left in a huff. She couldn’t believe that Joanna didn’t understand what was good for her.

She was just being kind-hearted. With Joanna’s beautiful face and in-good-shape body, it was easy for her to find a rich young man who came from a noble family.

But she didn’t defend herself, and that made Elle heartbroken.

Joanna said with a firm voice, “So what if I have a crush on Ethan? What can you do? Ha-ha, although Ethan is poor, he is kind. That’s enough for me.”

When Joanna finished her words, Elle had already gone out of the clinic. After realizing what she had said, Joanna’s face turned red. At the thought of Ethan, she couldn’t help feeling a little thrilled.

Joanna pounded her chest and her heart pitapat leapt. She blamed herself in her heart, but the corners of her mouth showed an honest smile...

After parking the car in the underground garage, Maggie took Ethan onto the special elevator and went straight up to the top of the 72nd floor.

It was Ethan’s first time coming to such a place. He was a little excited and nervous when he took the elevator for so long for the first time.

On the way, he was thinking about what had happened.

On the top floor, the elevator door opened. What appeared was a hallway of tens of meters long.

On both sides of the hallway, there were solid wood doors every few meters. Right now, there was a strong man wearing sunglasses and a black suit standing at the entrance of each door.

Maggie led the way, followed by Ethan nervously. Whenever he passed by a strong man, they all bowed slightly and lowered their heads to pay tribute.

At the end of the hallway was a double-open leather gate. The carvings on the gate were very complicated, and very few people knew that just these two gates alone would cost a million.

This was the wealth of the Norman Family!

As soon as Ethan reached the gate, the two attendants slowly drew it open.

There was a hall inside, which was spectacular, stunning, and luxurious beyond imagination. He almost forgot how he got in the door and how he sat on the only couch in the hall.

Right now, there were no less than 30 people standing in the hall. These people were different in age and attire.

But they stood in a neat fashion, and Ethan could tell their various statuses.

Right now, Maggie stood in front of these people. She looked at Ethan and suddenly bowed. Dozens of people behind her bent their waists at the same time.

Ethan was stunned and asked Maggie in shock, “What... what are you doing?” Maggie did not look up but said in a low voice, “Please punish us, Young Master Ethan!”

“Punish?” Ethan didn’t understand for a moment. He saw two strong men in black, dragging two ruined and bloodied men into the room.

As soon as he saw the men clearly, Ethan immediately recognized them.

Those two were none other than the youth and his friend who had robbed Ethan’s credit card at the hotpot restaurant earlier.

But now, both men lost their previous arrogance. They were almost beaten half to death. One of their arms and legs was clearly broken. They looked at Ethan with a glimmer of pleading in their eyes.
