My Doctor Son-in-law, Clarence

Clarence smiled and mocked, “Are the people who come back from overseas so open-minded? You can go around hugging people in public, huh?”

Hailey scrunched up her nose. “Hmph, you’re just close-minded. Hugging is simply etiquette overseas. This is because you’re my good friend. If you were someone else, I wouldn’t have hugged you. Get in, it’s almost six. It’ll be dinner time soon.”

Hailey pulled Clarence into the car.

He realized there was a beautiful woman wearing sunglasses in the passenger seat of the BMW. She had a heart-shaped face, and she was wearing a tank top and shorts.

She had an LV handbag in her lap, and she was holding the latest Apple smartphone in her hands.

Hailey smiled and introduced them. “Clary, this is my friend. Her name is Linda Brown, and she’s my best friend. I met her in France and today, she came back with me.”

Clarence smiled. “You bought a car the moment you arrived back in the country. Not too shabby.”

Hailey rubbed her nose. “Hmph, this is nothing. If I join a big company, my annual salary will be a few million. When that happens, I can even give you this car as a present if you like it.”

The girl was very confident. She had high hopes for the future.

Clarence shook his head. “It’s fine. I already have a car.”

He already had a Ferrari that cost 10 million dollars and a limited edition Lamborghini Veneno that cost 100 million dollars.

Why would he want her car?

Linda looked amused. “Oh? She’s just being courteous, but you think she’s serious? Do you know how much this BMW X5 costs? The landing price is more than 600 thousand. You have a car? What car? A shared bike?” Linda rolled her eyes.

Hailey called out, “Linda.”

Clarence smiled and did not say anything.

Linda still refused to leave the topic be. “You’re working in this clinic? What’s your monthly salary? Let me tell you, don’t get any ideas about Hailey. We’re just having dinner today. After dinner, you should call a car and go home yourself.”

Clarence calmly answered, “This is my clinic.”

Lina was amused. “Your clinic? Hehe. This is a prime location in Mediterranean City. Even though the clinic is not big, it covers an area of at least 5000 square feet. According to the land prices of Mediterranean City, it’s worth at least 500 million.

“Hailey told me that you quit school before you even graduated from junior high. It’s only been a few years, yet you’ve been able to afford a clinic in a spot like this?”

It was as if Linda was determined to destroy Clarence. She was exposing Clarence’s ‘act’ without hesitation.

Hailey stood up for Clarence. “Linda, Clary hadn’t finished speaking yet. This is the clinic he works in. Even though Clary quit school before he finished junior high, it’s already amazing that he’s been able to become a disciple here.”

Hailey also still thought that Clarence was a disciple in Thirteen Hall.

“He’s been smarter than the rest of us since he was small. If nothing had happened to him because of Sophie, he would have achieved much greater things than I have. He’s just slowly gaining his momentum right now, but I believe he will reach the pinnacle of his life sooner or later.” Hailey believed in Clarence.

Linda pressed her lips together. “This is just fate. Who asked him to have such an undesirable fate? He deserves to be poor forever. Look at him, he’s so old and he doesn’t even have a girlfriend. Now, he’s just a disciple in a clinic. What future does he have? He’ll be able to become a doctor practicing alternative medicine at most!”

Linda shook her head. “What year is it right now? What can alternative medicine do? If it was Western medicine we were talking about, he might be able to perform surgeries and take bribes. If that’s the case, he might earn millions in extra income, so he’ll be able to make a living.

“What can a doctor who practices alternative medicine do? The medicine is sold for just slightly above ten dollars. He won’t be able to afford even a toilet in Mediterranean City even if he works until he’s in the grave.

“How can he compare to those kids from big families? Their one meal costs hundreds of thousands, worth ten years of your salary. You wouldn’t be able to afford any of their sports cars even if you worked the rest of your life!”

Linda suddenly turned her head to look behind.

She removed her sunglasses, a cold expression on her face now fully displayed. “Remember, don’t have any ideas about Hailey. You two are not from the same world! Do you understand?” Linda spoke the last sentence in French, looking very arrogant.

Clarence was calm.

This snobbish woman could not even come close to Peony. Clarence was already immune to such behavior.

Hailey looked apologetic. “Clary, I’m sorry. Linda is being rude, but she really doesn’t mean it. We’ll always be great friends, and I don’t look down on you.”

Clarence smiled. “I know. Start the car, don’t make them wait too long.”

They arrived at the meeting place soon. It was a five-star hotel with a view that overlooked the ocean.

There were huge private rooms with French windows. The red wine there was priced at one hundred thousand a bottle.

One could enjoy Mediterranean City’s night skyline from the window.

There were more than a dozen people in the room. Aside from a few that were from the orphanage, the rest were all friends and family members.

When Clarence and Hailey saw so many people they did not know at the scene, they frowned.

Hailey grabbed a tall woman who had a model’s figure and asked, “Lucy, didn’t we say that this would just be a small gathering? Why are there so many strangers here?”

Lucy Morgans had also grown up in the orphanage. She was pretty but had been bad at her studies.

After she graduated from high school, she enrolled in a diploma mill.

Then, she was discovered by an agency and became a model.

Lucy disapproved of what Hailey had just said. “It’s more fun to have more people. How can we make the scene lively with just a few of us?

“Come, let me introduce you around. This is the department manager from Glorious Entertainment, Greg Dover. He has more than a dozen rising stars under him and he helps them rise to fame. If you manage to butter him up, you’ll have a smooth journey getting into the entertainment industry.

“Didn’t you study performing arts overseas? Go talk to him.”

Hailey stared blankly at her. “Glorious Entertainment?”

Was that not the entertainment company that she had been targeting?

Clarence felt like it was quite a coincidence.

Jeremy also had an entertainment company, and it was also called Glorious Entertainment.

Hailey did not go over to say hi. Instead, Greg walked over with his wine glass.

There was a group of women following from behind him.

Greg looked at Hailey and said, “Are you the girl Lucy recommended? Lucy told me you want to work in Glorious. I think you’re fine, so I can help you, but you’ll need to pay some fees.”

Greg’s eyes were scanning Hailey’s body lewdly. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

He was being very obvious.

He had practically said, ‘You’ll need to sleep with me if you want me to help you’ aloud.

This was the entertainment industry. What else could a woman give, aside from her body?

Hailey looked disgusted. “No need, Mr. Dover. I’ve sent my resume over and the company is very happy with it. I’ll just go in for the interview tomorrow.”

Greg had seen too many newbies who would speak to him with thorns hidden between their words.

He did not mind targeting Hailey.

After he filed down some of her edges, he would be able to do whatever he wanted with her.

Greg said faintly, “Oh, really? One word from me, and you will definitely be chosen by our company.”

His tone changed as he said meaningfully, “However, if I call them now, your name will be removed from the list for tomorrow. When that happens, you won’t even be qualified to go for the interview. Do you believe me?”

Hailey was a little mad. “Mr. Dover, I know you have that kind of power, but does it matter? It’s not like I have to join Glorious. There are so many other entertainment companies in Mediterranean City, and I can go to any one of them.”

A woman behind Greg looked amused. “Oh, how chaste. A lot of women want to get into Mr. Dover’s bed but aren’t able to. Mr. Dover has high hopes for you, so you’re already very lucky. Why are you still pretending to be pure? Just open your legs and you’ll get money, status, and fame. Isn’t that a good thing?”

She was being very blatant, but it was truly the reality of the industry.

Hailey looked mad. “I’m not going to bother with Glorious anymore!”

“Hahaha!”

Greg laughed.. “You’re not going to bother with Glorious? Which company are you going to bother with, then? Sky Horse Entertainment? Splendor Entertainment? Or perhaps, Celestial Entertainment? I have friends in all those companies. With one word, I’ll block you from being able to even submit your resume!”
