Chapter 2 The Big Shot of Kingsview

  • Neera had no idea what her three children were up to. She pulled her thoughts together and took a taxi with the kids to the hotel where they had reserved a room.
  • Six years ago, she was expelled from the Garcia family and had nowhere to go.
  • In the end, it was her aunt - Adriana Garcia - who took her in and and brought her abroad, to Essley.
  • But she did not expect that she was already pregnant!
  • After much deliberation, she chose to keep the baby.
  • Neera was immensely grateful that she had given birth to the children.
  • Having their company over the years helped her stay strong and achieve what she had now.
  • Upon arriving at the hotel, the check-in process was quickly completed.
  • As soon as they entered the room, Neera felt exhausted and collapsed on the bed, unwilling to move.
  • She had administered treatment to a patient before boarding her flight. The flight was another fourteen hours. By now, she was completely exhausted.
  • Sammy, the second son, came over and showed his phone to his mother. "Bad news, Mommy! We landed only two hours ago, but we're facing a financial crisis! According to my calculations, this is the amount of money we need to permanently relocate here… But Harvey took the money in the bank account and invested it into the stock market, and we can't cash in anytime soon! That's why… I helped you set up an appointment through the Dark Web. In two days, you'll have to go to a local tycoon's house and treat his illness!"
  • Neera opened her eyes wide when she heard that. She grumbled, "Can't you let me relax for a few more days? You're a slave driver! I have other important things to do too…"
  • There were a couple of reasons for her return. Not only did she need to manage her aunt's business, but she also had to return to the Garcia household.
  • Alfonso told her that her birth mother bequeathed her some shares before she passed away, and she needed to sign some paperwork.
  • She did not know why Alfonso was suddenly so nice to her, but she did not mind claiming what rightfully belonged to her.
  • The thought of meeting Alfonso and the others already made her unhappy. She was not in the mood to treat any patients.
  • Sammy wagged his finger and said, "No! You have to go! That guy is offering 50 million dollars for your services, and he's willing to pay 30 million in advance! Don't forget you have three children to raise, and Great-Aunt Adriana needs you too!"
  • Neera was on the verge of tears. Can't I get a break?
  • "Fine, I'll accept it. Show me the information. Where's the tycoon from?"
  • Sammy immediately replied, "The patient is Jean Beauvort of Kingsview's Beauvort family. He has a chronic disease and is bedridden for half the time. Many doctors have tried to treat him, but all have failed. They're very happy that they've found you!"
  • Neera gasped when she heard that. "The Beauvort family!"
  • That was the most influential family in the country!
  • Jean Beauvort was one of the heavyweights in the business world. He was almost a trillionaire, but he kept a low profile.
  • Sammy nodded and patted her shoulder. "Yes! You'll have to do your best, Mommy. The fifty million dollars will fund our first house back here!"
  • Harvey also comforted his mother. "Don't feel too pressured, Mommy. After this, it'll be my turn to support the family."
  • Penny added, "And I'll be… emotional support!"
  • Neera grinned. Her three babies were so adorable.
  • Harvey, the first child, was a natural-born investor. He had made a lot of money from the stock market.
  • Sammy, the second child, had an affinity with electronics. He was a master hacker as well.
  • Penny, the third and youngest child, loved to read and dreamed of becoming a doctor. She was Neera's assistant during her consultation sessions.
  • Not only were her children very intelligent, but they were also very empathic.
  • She was willing to give the world to them, and that was why she accepted the job.
  • Little did she know… the three children had set her up!
  • Before they returned, they knew about Jean and suspected that he was their real father!
  • At the same time, Jean Beauvort woke up in another suite in the same hotel.
  • He sat up from the bed, though he still looked lethargic.
  • His face was slightly pale, and the occasional coughing fits made him seem weak. However, the sickliness did not diminish his noble elegance.
  • Ian Morrison, his assistant, noticed that he was awake, eagerly reported to him, "Sir, we have news about the renowned doctor we were searching for! She has agreed to treat you. Please take care of yourself."
  • Jean did not seem too happy when he heard the news. "So what? They can't guarantee they can cure my illness. If none of the world's best doctors can do anything about it, why should I place any hope in an anonymous doctor with a dubious claim?"
  • "You won't know unless you try!" Ian said. "Also… your father seems to have found a bride for you. He says the marriage is for good luck."
  • Jean frowned when he heard that. Why is Father doing so many unnecessary things?
  • "Who is it this time?" he said unhappily.
  • Ian hesitated for a while before answering, "Roxanne Garcia, from the Garcia family."
  • Jean frowned even harder. "Find an excuse to say no!" he said candidly.
  • Ian seemed hesitant. "I think you might need to talk to your father yourself…"
  • Frederic Beauvort, Jean's grandfather, was the sole voice of authority in the family. If Jean could not convince his grandfather to change his mind, what could Ian possibly do?
  • Jean narrowed his gaze and began to cough violently.
  • Ian was worried that his condition might worsen. He patted Jean's back and changed the conversation topic. "You shouldn't be emotionally agitated. Why don't you lie on your bed, and I'll order some food for you?"
  • Jean waved his hand. "No… I'll go downstairs to eat and get some fresh air.
  • In the other suite, Neera eventually fell asleep from exhaustion.
  • The three little ones took the access card and went downstairs together to get something to eat.
  • The restaurant was on the first floor of the hotel. Even though it was already past lunchtime, the restaurant remained packed with customers. The triplets could not find any vacant seats.
  • Harvey was about to walk further in when Sammy, who had been looking around, suddenly tugged his hand. "Harvey, do you see that guy over there? Is he… that person from the Beauvort Group?"
  • Harvey looked in the direction Sammy was pointing and noticed Jean sitting at a table next to the window.
  • His eyes widened with delight. "That's him!"
  • He’s the one suspected to be their dad!
  • With a glint in his big eyes, Harvey took Sammy and Penny's hands and headed towards Jean...
