The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 559: Chapter 559: Drake Stuart Returns_1

Before the sound of his voice had faded, his phone began to ring.

He pulled out his phone, and was immediately dumbstruck, standing frozen, his face filled with disbelief.

After a long while, he slowly raised his head; his voice turned somewhat hoarse, “It’s over, that guy is really Barry Wolfe, the charismatic Magician Barry Wolfe.”

Silence!

The living room plunged into dead silence.

...

At this moment, the joy the little princess’s newfound boyfriend had brought was completely washed away by the abrupt news.

Every face bore a serious look.

No one understood the feats of the charismatic Magician better than them, because their Hall Family was precisely the Neutral Clan within the Union of Seven Provinces.

Within the seven provinces, they had carefully understood and investigated every mid-to-large sized power, and Barry Wolfe was no exception.

“What exactly does that Barry Wolfe mean?”

Austin Hall said with a somber expression, “Is there something he can’t do openly, why must he target Melody?”

Jesse Hall hesitated for a moment, then cautiously said, “Dad, I think this may just be a coincidence.”

“A coincidence?”

“Yes.”

Jesse Hall stayed silent for a moment, organizing his thoughts, then said, “I think that Barry Wolfe, seems to genuinely like Melody.”

Hearing his words, the eyes of the Hall Family members gradually lit up.

The living room quieted down once again, and everyone’s gaze fell on the old man.

The old Mr. Hall pondered, “If it’s as Jesse said, this matter might not be out of the question.”

Austin Hall said, “Yes, I think we can let Melody bring the person back for a talk first. If the conversation goes well and Melody likes him too, it could be a good thing for our family.”

The second brother, Austin Hall, said, “Big brother’s right, I think we shouldn’t jump to conclusions just yet, it’s more important to bring the person back and see first.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The Hall Family may hold an exceptional position within the Union of Seven Provinces, but it had been clinging to the legacy of their ancestors to maintain it these past years.

There were not a few in the family who could enter the Master Realm, but not one could become a Grandmaster.

If this continued, the exceptional status of the Hall Family wouldn’t last.

That’s why, upon learning their young princess was actually with the youthful Grandmaster Barry Wolfe, the Hall Family perked up.

If they could marry Megan Hall to Barry Wolfe, the Hall Family’s status would be as solid as Mount Tai.

After all, with Barry Wolfe’s current strength, becoming a Grandmaster was almost a sure thing.

Of course, if Megan Hall was unwilling, they wouldn’t force her; the Hall Family hadn’t fallen so low as to sell their daughter for glory.

Austin Hall said, “Third brother, you’re close to Melody, this matter is up to you.”

Jesse Hall nodded, “Dad, rest assured, I’ll give Melody a call tomorrow and ask her to invite Barry Wolfe over to our house when she’s free.”

…

Late at night, in a remote county on the outskirts of Qin Province, the Stuart Family’s medicinal herb processing plant was ablaze with lights.

Zhou Jiumei led several Stuart Family members on a round of inspection in the plant, then returned to the conference room.

Victor Stuart laughed, “Our family can finally breathe a sigh of relief, all thanks to Jiumei’s strategic planning.”

Zhou Jiumei smiled, “Third brother, the Stuart Family’s ability to stand firm here is the result of everyone’s efforts. I’m just an insignificant part of it.”

Victor Stuart laughed heartily and pointed at Zhou Jiumei, “Kid, you’re more and more like a Family Head, even starting to lecture your third brother.”

“Haha…”

The other Stuart Family members all revealed friendly smiles.

Victor Stuart was right, they had gone from being panic-stricken to now being able to continue with a stable and prosperous life, all thanks to Zhou Jiumei.

It was Zhou Jiumei who, working under Barry Wolfe, helped them secure the opportunity to continue being wealthy landowners. It was also Zhou Jiumei who chose this county as their foothold and started the medicinal herb processing plant.

Without Zhou Jiumei, they could only have split up a few tens or hundreds of millions and found some place to barely scrape by.

Victor Stuart laughed, “I say we just let Jiumei take over as the Family Head.”

“Well, we’d have to see if Julian is willing to do that.”

After the old master of the Stuart family passed away, Julian Stuart, as the oldest brother, naturally became the new Family Head. Victor Stuart’s words were actually a bit excessive.

However, Julian Stuart didn’t care at all.

“I can’t wait to shed this burden.”

He smiled indifferently, looked around at everyone, and said, “In the name of the Family Head of the Stuart family, I propose that our sister, the ninth, succeed the position of Family Head. Does anyone object?”

“I agree.”

“No objections.”

“Who would mess with their own rice bowl.”

“Hahaha.”

The conference room was filled with laughter.

Seeing that no one objected, Julian Stuart also started to laugh with joy, and was just about to announce the ninth sister’s succession as the Family Head, when suddenly someone walked in from outside the door.

“I object!”

When everyone saw the face of the person who spoke, they stood up in unison.

“Drake Stuart? Why have you come back?”

“Little Drake, you’re finally back.”

At that moment, everyone couldn’t help but weep for joy.

Even Julian Stuart, when he saw that tall figure, showed a look of joy on his face.

The only one was the ninth sister, who, thinking of something, slightly furrowed her brow.

“Big brother, father, he…”

“Big brother, I know all about it.”

Drake Stuart nodded, turned his head to look at the ninth sister with a slightly cold expression, and silently walked to the main seat of the conference table and sat down.

He spoke plainly, appearing every bit the Family Head, “Everyone, please take a seat.”

The others exchanged glances and each found a place to sit down.

Drake Stuart’s gaze slowly swept across the faces of everyone present, then settled on the ninth sister and he said indifferently,

“Ninth sister, hand over the factory work in the next couple of days.”

Everyone was shocked at his words.

Victor Stuart hesitated and said, “Little brother, the ninth sister has been doing a great job, this…”

Drake Stuart stated flatly, “The men of the Stuart family aren’t all dead, it’s not yet time for a woman to step forward and show her face. This matter is settled, does anyone have objections?”

Everyone looked at each other, ultimately all falling silent.

“Little brother, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to seize power?”

Julian Stuart directly retorted, not because he was upset about being overpowered, but because he didn’t want to see the great situation that had just opened up to be wasted so quickly.

Drake Stuart looked at him coldly and said, “You all know how father died, right?

And you must know what’s going on between Ninth Sister and Barry Wolfe, don’t you?

If we had directly sent a Grandmaster to kill Barry Wolfe back then, how could father have died? How could the Stuart family have fallen to this state?”

Upon hearing his words, everyone fell silent, and even Julian Stuart had nothing to say.

The ninth sister sighed and said, “No need to say more, I will hand over the leadership of the factory.”

She turned to Julian Stuart and said, “Big brother, come to my office tomorrow morning, and I’ll fill you in on what needs to be handed over.”

Julian Stuart nodded helplessly, “Yeah, all right.”

The ninth sister stood up, looked exhaustedly at everyone, and said, “I’m tired, I’m going to rest.”

With that, she didn’t care about Drake Stuart’s expression and turned to leave the office.

The moonlight was cold.

The ninth sister looked up, and suddenly, the image of that man appeared before her eyes.

After a long while, she gently shook her head.
