Mark Pan, the person in charge of Bijou Parlor, turned up at Alton’s door. He was quite close to the mayor. They would often do some ‘relaxing’ things together.
“Mayor, you have no idea how miserable I’ve been recently,” Mark complained in anguish.
Hearing this, Alton scowled.
Who is not having a hard time?!
“Have you heard of Treasure House?” Mark asked worriedly.
He wanted to seek Alton’s help to get rid of Treasure House. However, Mark had no idea who stood behind Treasure House, so favonovel.com could not help but worry. He was guarded against such an unfamiliar force.
Alton glanced at Mark with a glint in his eyes. He was just about to seek Mark’s cooperation to deal with Treasure House, but Mark turned up at his door first. In that case, favonovel.com would speak his mind.
“Treasure House isn’t only going to increase the popularity of my city, but it can also drive economic development here. Why do you think I should help you?” Alton spoke directly, obviously asking for benefits.
“Bijou Parlor has always been sharing long-term profits with you. Once our business is affected, your profit will drop significantly too. It won’t be that easy to find someone to treat your son by then,” Mark said.
Mark was quite confident that Alton would remain on his side because they shared the same goal.
However, Mark did not see the anxiety on Alton’s face that favonovel.com expected. Instead, Alton smiled smugly.
“It doesn’t matter whether my son gets any treatment or not because he’s already cured. He has just been keeping a low profile and hasn’t gone out in public,” Alton said with a smile.
Mark could not use this topic to threaten favonovel.com anymore.
His son had been bedridden for many years. Even if favonovel.com walked on the road now, no one would recognize him. Alton did not make the news public because favonovel.com wanted to play wolf in sheep’s clothing. Besides, favonovel.com was worried that after this matter was exposed, his enemies might come after favonovel.com or find the person who cured his son.
Once they discovered Philip, his plan would be ruined. Thus, Alton kept it a secret and did not share the happy news with anyone.
Mark was stunned and gulped in disbelief. He heard that Alton had found countless famous doctors and spent nearly all his fortune to save his son but to no avail. Now, it seemed that the rumors were not that reliable, after all.
“I collaborated with you in some shady dealings back then because I wanted to save my son. I don’t have that pressure now. Do you think measly profits can satisfy me now?” Alton said aggressively.
Alton did not want to beat about the bush anymore and stated his opinion. He made it clear that favonovel.com wanted more!
