LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Chapter 81: A Penny for Your Life!



Behind Colin Edwards, Norman suddenly widened his eyes.

Mouth wide open.

His dentures were about to fall out of his mouth!

The president of the Bank of Dirtmouth branch…

Colin Edwards!

Kneeling down to Jun Chester?

Apologizing to Jun Chester?

What’s going on?

Who can tell me what’s happening?

He is Colin Edwards!

Even the top brass of Dirtmouth’s business world had to be polite to him!

Colin Edwards!

He controls Dirtmouth’s economic lifeline!

Every year, the amount of currency issued by Lordran to this city is held in Colin Edwards’ hands.

He could give loans to whichever company he wanted.

In other words, if he wanted a company to live, it could live; if he wanted a company to die, it couldn’t survive!Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

After all, which company nowadays doesn’t start their business by borrowing money from a bank? Even Knowles Steels had a debt load worth half of their total market value! They had to send someone specifically to deal with the higher-ups at Dirtmouth banks. Today, they were taking advantage of Colin Edwards attending the birthday banquet. Norman was hoping he could persuade Colin Edwards to lend him more money. But now…

Colin Edwards, such an important figure, had actually knelt down before Jun Chester! Not only was Norman completely puzzled, but all the guests present were also baffled. Colin Edwards, President Edwards! What was going on? Was he sick? Everyone at the scene, except for Jun Chester and Lyvia, didn’t understand why Colin Edwards would make such a move. But this action was simply too shocking. Kneeling before Jun in front of everyone? What kind of status did Jun have now?

Everyone knew that Jun had beaten up Jim Edwards, not the other way around. It was already a blessing that Colin Edwards didn’t retaliate against Jun, but now he was actually kneeling before him? It couldn’t be like this, could it? Suddenly, Lyvia thought of Dawson London. He was the eldest son of the London family in Dirtmouth and the youngest general in Lordran. Colin Edwards’ current action towards Jun must be related to Dawson London!

As everyone was shocked by Colin Edwards’ actions, Jun Chester merely glanced at him and then ignored him, continuing to look at Norman. He spoke again, “Did you understand the purpose of my visit?”

Norman was dumbfounded, and Colin Edwards, kneeling on the ground, had a deathly pale face. He couldn’t believe it. He had knelt before Jun Chester, but Jun didn’t even bother to acknowledge him. For a moment, Colin Edwards didn’t know whether to continue kneeling or to stand up. He couldn’t understand why Jun Chester would treat him like this. If Jun wanted to kill or torture him, at least give him a clear answer. Why make him suffer like this?

Jun Chester saw that Norman didn’t dare to speak and spoke again, “Are you mute?” Norman looked at Jun Chester, trembling. “You… you…” He couldn’t even form a complete sentence. Jun Chester’s gaze was cold as ice. “I had someone save your life, and you need to pay for the treatment. That’s fair! My father-in-law paid for your medical expenses in advance, and you need to pay it back. That’s also fair!”

Upon hearing this, Norman suddenly shouted, “Don is my son! It’s only natural for him to pay my medical expenses! You have no right to interfere!” But as soon as he said it, he regretted it. Regardless of why Colin Edwards had knelt before Jun Chester, the fact remained that he had done so. This alone showed that Jun Chester’s status today was extraordinary. And yet, despite everything, he still dared to curse Jun. Did he want to die?

At this point, Jun Chester snorted coldly, “My father-in-law is your own son and has the duty to support you. He should be the one to pay for your medical expenses! But you know very well how you have treated him! You own a company worth billions, and you know whether or not you can afford your own medical expenses! Your other two sons are both millionaires, yet they haven’t spent a penny on your hospital bills! Instead, they dumped all the pressure on your eldest son, who is struggling the most. Do you have any shame? Do you deserve to be a father?”

“Of course, I could choose not to interfere with this matter, but today, I demand that you pay the medical expenses I had someone cover for you!” Norman, furious and irrational, shouted, “How much? Is it just some dirty money? I, Norman, can afford it!” Jun Chester smiled, “Not much, just one cent! Because in my eyes, your life is only worth one cent!”

Norman thought Jun Chester would ask for a large sum of money. Who would have thought… just one cent? Is there even a one-cent currency anymore? You can’t even withdraw it from the bank! And most importantly, in front of all the guests, Jun Chester said that Norman’s life was only worth one cent? Ten thousand? A hundred thousand? A million? Ten million?! Norman could afford all of those amounts, but he just couldn’t afford a single cent!

Jun Chester was obviously trying to grind Norman’s face into the dirt and then boil it with hot water! At this moment, Norman couldn’t say a word! Should he give the one cent or not? To give it would be humiliating! But not giving it would be even more humiliating!

Norman pointed at Jun Chester’s face, his whole body trembling. He was so angry that he couldn’t even speak. Jun Chester squinted his eyes and spoke indifferently, “Didn’t you say that Wilfrid Chester died of anger because of me? I can’t be bothered to explain that!”

“But if you think I’m so powerful that I can make someone die of anger, then I can fulfill your wish!” He continued, “If you can’t come up with a single cent, how did you leave the hospital and get back here?”

Norman had no way of dealing with Jun Chester, so he turned to Don and raised his hand to hit him. But this time, the slap didn’t land on Don’s face. It wasn’t that Don dodged it, or that Jun Chester stopped it. Instead, Colin Edwards, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his hand to block Norman!

Colin Edwards spoke with a stern face, “I’ll cover that one cent for you! You go and cool off somewhere, I’m here to apologize to Mr. Chester!” Colin Edwards’ action shocked everyone. Jun Chester then looked at Colin Edwards and only said one sentence, “A straight person doesn’t fear a crooked shadow, whether you’ve done your job properly, Nelson Stewart will judge!”

Colin Edwards was taken aback and immediately felt relieved. “Mr. Chester, rest assured, I haven’t made any mistakes at work, I just messed up in raising my child! That bastard Jim Edwards, I’ve already broken his dog legs! In this life and the next, he won’t appear in front of you again!”

The conversation between the two was full of information. The Nelson Stewart mentioned by Jun Chester was the president of Lordran! Colin Edwards’ son, Jim Edwards, had offended Jun Chester, and that was why Colin Edwards had come to Norman’s birthday party. Because only by coming here could he meet Jun Chester and apologize to him!

Norman realized this and almost fainted. Colin Edwards had come specially to apologize to Jun Chester? Not for his own birthday party? Just then, a stretch Rolls-Royce stopped outside the Knowles family’s door. The person who got out of the car was Riordan Wells, the big boss of Lordran Mining. In an instant, all the guests present were shocked! They never expected that Riordan Wells would actually show up!

Seeing Riordan Wells arrive, Norman saw hope. Mr. Wells is here! Hope has arrived! Mr. Wells is here! This bastard won’t be so arrogant anymore! Who doesn’t know in this world? Mr. Wells has a foolish son? And, Mr. Wells has been helping his son find a match for years? Whoever Mr. Wells chooses as a daughter-in-law is a blessing!

Norman immediately ran over. “Mr. Wells, you’ve finally arrived, help me teach a dog a lesson! After teaching this dog a lesson, I can make the decision to marry our Lyvia to your noble son! Don’t worry, as long as you take a look at Lyvia, you’ll understand everything! Beautiful as a fairy, that’s all there is to it!”
