Knowing what Hazel was going to say next, Sheldon changed the subject and said, “Keep it up with your piano practice. I’ll take you to meet Hilbert up in a few more days and let him mentor you.” I suppose it’s good for Hazel to learn as many things as possible and be a decent lady. I guess this will prevent her from turning into an uncultured woman! Soon, Sheldon was quickly surprised by that thought in his mind. Why do I keep thinking about that woman?
Upon hearing Sheldon’s words, Hazel felt agitated deep down, even though she was still reluctant to entertain her brother. Then, she nodded and said, “Thanks, Sheldon!”
Meanwhile, the man nodded as well. “Get some rest.”
As Hazel headed upstairs and passed by her father’s room, her heart sank because she had a hunch that her father was going to leave them soon. If Dad is gone, I’ll be left with only Mom and Sheldon. Since Hazel had always been the apple of her father’s eye, she would no longer be treated that way if he passed away. Therefore, she didn’t want to lose her father, as she wanted to keep the one thing that she treasured so dearly. I wouldn’t even get to meet Mr. Hilbert if Sheldon didn’t pull some strings. So, if Dad is gone, I can’t imagine how the others would think of our family.
A few moments later, Hazel squinted, feeling a strong hatred surging through her. Who does that heartless divine doctor think she is? Does she have no idea who she is dealing with? It’s the president of Yobril’s National Council! So, how could she turn Sheldon down, knowing it’s my father?!
Meanwhile in Sandfort City, Janet received a call from Lee not long after she woke up. Raising her eyebrows, she swiped her phone screen to answer it. In fact, she had not accepted any new mission for a while since Lee hadn’t contacted her until now. Although she had savings enough to last her for the rest of her life, she still had to shoulder the heavy daily expense for her base in Sandfort City. Thus, she would be glad to take up a new mission to make some extra money.
“Janet!” Lee waved his hands. “Long time no see!”
Janet raised her eyebrows and asked, “Any new mission, Lee?”
Lee became serious and replied, “There has been a new mission since this morning, but we don’t know how we should go about it.”
“What’s the mission objective?” Janet asked out of curiosity.
“Someone is willing to pay us ten million to investigate one person.”
Upon hearing Lee’s reply, Janet raised her eyebrows once more. Really?! Ten million just to investigate one person? This is going to be a walk in the park, man!
“Alright, I’m game! This is a sweet deal that is too good to turn down.” Wow! I wonder who is willing to pay so much!
“Janet, the person they want to investigate is you,” Lee answered as he found himself caught in a dilemma.
“Me?” Janet was amused to hear that before she continued to ask, “Wait a minute! Which ‘me’ are they onto?”
A few seconds later, Lee’s voice was heard again. “Sandra.”
What? Another person who wants to sniff me out?! Although Janet knew she could profit from her alter ego, she was still wise enough to take precautions in protecting her identity. After that, she rubbed her eyes and took a while to ponder, whereupon she answered, “I guess I’ll pass this one up.” Soon, she added, “Delete the details of this order from our database as well.”
After hanging up the call, Janet was still bewildered about why there was someone interested in Sandra’s whereabouts. Well, ‘Sandra’ doesn’t exactly keep a low profile either, so why does this person need a world-class hacker to sniff me out?
In the meantime, Hazel was caught in a trance after learning that her offer had been rejected. What?! I offered ten million, yet I still got turned down! What kind of hackers are these people? I can’t believe they’re calling themselves number one in the world! Who the hell would say no to ten million?! Or could they also struggle to locate this doctor’s whereabouts? Why won’t this divine doctor just quit hiding and come out of the shadows?!
Soon, Hazel chuckled indifferently and criticized those hackers with contempt on the inside. These hackers are lousy! And the divine doctor is simply just a phony! In fact, there are way too many swindlers out there in Sandfort City! Not only are they just crooked, but dumb as well for turning down ten million.
Meanwhile, Sheldon sent for their family’s doctor, Sam Fraser, to check on their father after Hazel went upstairs. At the same time, Reiner was stunned when he noticed two scars on Sheldon’s neck. “Young Master Fuller, why are you hiding those scars from Young Miss Fuller?”
