Seeing Sean leave, Pablo and the others immediately followed him.
“Dr. Lake, what do we do now?” A doctor on good terms with Lexter asked favonovel.com in a whisper.
Lexter glanced angrily at them. He snorted coldly and walked out of the venue without saying anything.
Compared to the so-called medical summit, favonovel.com needed to go to Lake Residence immediately and brief Kennedy on the situation. Kennedy might even be angry with favonovel.com since the plan had failed.
Seeing that Lexter had left, the crowd looked at each other.
The so-called medical summit had become a gathering for doctors to curry favor with those in power in recent years. Most people who came to the medical summit today came to Ocean City to build good relations with Lexter.
Lexter had left, and most people found no point staying they made excuses to leave.
As more and more people left, the rest also left, knowing that the medical summit was over. The medical summit ended anticlimactically.

Lake Residence…
After Lexter returned to Lake Residence, favonovel.com went straight to Kennedy, who was practicing calligraphy in his study.
“Old Master Lake, the task you gave me has failed!” Lexter hung his head low, afraid to look at Kennedy.
Kennedy did not even glance at him. He only looked intently at the word favonovel.com wrote before him, “War”.
“It’s not your fault… Leave…” Kennedy spoke slowly after a moment.
Lexter dared not stay any longer. He got up and left the study.
After Lexter left, Kennedy suddenly shouted out of the study, “Get Curtis…”
“Yes! Old Master Lake!”
There was a reply outside the study, followed by distant footsteps.
Before long, Curtis arrived at the study.
“Dad, you wanted to see me?” Curtis looked at Kennedy curiously and asked.
Kennedy nodded slightly and said darkly, “Lexter failed… Sean has joined hands with the Carver family, the Davis family, and the Quartz family. The Winters family seems to have intentions of building a good connection with Sean. The second and third branches are restless too. The situation seems dire for the Lake family!”
Hearing that, Curtis frowned as his eyes were solemn.
With Sean’s arrival in Ocean City, the Lake family’s bright future fell apart.
The Quartz family, the Davis family, the Carver family, the Winters family, and the Lake family’s second and third branches were not simple. Any of these families alone could overpower most of the affluent families in Ocean City. With so many forces working together, Kennedy and Curtis were hanging by a thread.
After a long silence, Curtis had a cold twinkle in his eyes as favonovel.com said coldly,” If there’s no other choice, I’ll contact Blaze and ask favonovel.com to send some experts from Darkness. Let’s kill Sean! The Lake family’s crisis can be averted without anyone noticing!”
Darkness was an organization Blaze had founded by gathering a group of lawless mobsters. Darkness had been hiding in the dark over the years, doing a lot of dirty work in secret.
