17: Chapter 017: Endless Regret!
As soon as the words fell!
There was a lodious sound of music in the hotel.
Imdiately after, footsteps were heard coming from the second floor of the hotel.
Everyone in the hall looked up towards the second floor.
Two figures were seen walking along the corridor from a distance.
It wasn’t until they reached the stairway entrance that the crowd clearly saw the faces of these two figures.
It was Lionel Yeager and Julia Stewart.
Lionel Yeager was wearing a well-fitted black suit, and Julia Stewart was wearing a long white dress, just like a golden boy and jade girl, shining brilliantly.
However, when the mbers of the Lewis Family saw Lionel Yeager, they were all struck dumb as though struck by lightning!
“How could it be?!”
Lucy Lewis’ eyes widened in a mix of astonishnt and disbelief, “How could this bumpkin possibly be engaged to Miss Stewart?!
This can’t be true, this absolutely can’t be true!!!”
Cindy Lewis was also dumbfounded, her face extrely ugly, as if she had eaten a dead fly!
Vic Lewis, Tianna Lewis, and the others in the Lewis family all seed as if they had turned to stone, motionless!
The impact of what they were seeing was too great, and they couldn’t recover their senses for a long ti!
The country bumpkin who was humiliated and had his engagent canceled by them three days ago turned out to be the one engaged to Miss Stewart of the River City Stewart Family!
Moreover, this country bumpkin was actually the Divine Doctor who had cured Sir Stewart!
Unthinkable!
Incredible!
But the facts were right in front of them, forcing them to believe!
Tianna Lewis spoke in a daze, “Father…
Is it really this kid who cured Sir Stewart…
Does this kid really have such amazing dical skills?!”
Vic Lewis tightly clenched his cane, his face pale and green, unable to utter a word.
He had originally planned to rely on Haward Stewart’s relationship to introduce him to the Divine Doctor to treat his own illness.
Who would have thought that the Divine Doctor would turn out to be Lionel Yeager!
Now that he had completely offended Lionel Yeager, would Lionel still help him cure his illness?
Moreover, he was filled with extre regret in his heart!
Since Lionel Yeager could cure Haward Stewart’s stubborn illness, that ant he possessed extraordinary dical skills!
Such a young Divine Doctor would surely have an imasurable future!
If Lionel Yeager had beco his grandson-in-law, their Lewis Family might have taken off under his leadership!
But now, all of this had beco an illusory dream!
Regret!
An endless amount of regret welled up in his heart!
At this mont, not far away, with a broken leg and leaning on a crutch, Dion Weil stared at Lionel Yeager with bloodshot eyes, filled with endless anger, envy, and jealousy!
This country bumpkin was actually engaged to his dream lover!
How could this be?
At this point, under everyone’s gaze, Julia Stewart held Lionel Yeager’s arm as they walked down from the second floor, and ca to Haward Stewart.
Haward Stewart had a radiant smile on his face as he introduced confidently, “Ladies and gentlen, this young man is that Divine Doctor who cured my years of stubborn illness and who is also my grandson-in-law, Lionel Yeager!
If it weren’t for Lionel pulling back from the brink of death, I’m afraid I would have been long gone!
Moreover, not only does Lionel possess extraordinary dical skills, but he also has excellent character!
I hope that everyone can give him your support in the future!”
“Sir Stewart, of course, we’d be honored to be friends with this Divine Doctor!”
“Mr.
Yeager is very talented and has an extraordinary temperant.
He is a perfect match for Miss Stewart!”
“The Maddox Family presents a pair of mandarin duck jade, wishing Mr.
Yeager and Miss Stewart a lifelong bond, like mandarin ducks!”
“The Heaven Nation Group presents a dragon and phoenix jade pot, wishing Mr.
Yeager and Miss Stewart to harmonize like a dragon and phoenix, and grow old together!”
“The Fortune Jewelry Store offers ninety-nine gold bars, wishing Mr.
Yeager and Miss Stewart a long-lasting love, as strong as gold!”
Everyone present started bootlicking and also offered various lavish gifts.
Looking at those expensive gifts, the eyes of the Lewis family mbers burned with heat, and they felt as if their hearts were bleeding.
Especially Cindy Lewis, the envy and jealousy in her eyes drove her crazy.
Three days ago, when she got engaged to Dion Weil, she didn’t receive such extravagant gifts.
The gap was just too great.
At this mont, Haward Stewart glanced at Vic Lewis and the others from a distance and asked loudly, “Everyone, what do you think of my grandson-in-law?”
“Good, of course, he is absolutely great!”
“Mr.
Yeager possesses such outstanding dical skills, and his achievents in the future must be imasurable!”
Everyone spoke in unison, lavishing praises on Lionel Yeager.
Haward Stewart laughed and said, “I don’t want to hide it from you all, but three days ago Lionel Yeager actually had a marriage arrangent.
Unfortunately, those people simply didn’t recognize the value of gold, not only did they unilaterally break off the engagent, but they also mocked and ridiculed Mullen and even chased him away.
Of course, I’m also very grateful to them for breaking off the engagent, or else how could I have such an excellent grandson-in-law?”
“Oh my god, who is so foolish as to actually let such a good son-in-law slip away by chasing him away?”
“If our family had a divine doctor as a son-in-law, I would wake up laughing in my dreams!”
“Well, after all, not everyone has Mr.
Stewart’s sharp vision!”
The people who hadn’t attended the Lewis family’s engagent banquet three days ago all voiced their opinions.
However, those who had attended the banquet knew very well who Haward Stewart was talking about.
At this mont, the mbers of the Lewis family were all embarrassed, their faces flushed red, and they just wanted to turn around and leave.
But they didn’t dare to leave.
If they were to leave now, it would an they didn’t give face to the Stewart family.
Once they angered the Stewart family, their Lewis family might not have any good days left.
“Ahem…”
Vic Lewis felt suffocated and took out a handkerchief, coughing violently and coughing up blood.
“Father!”
“Grandfather!”
Tianna Lewis and Cindy Lewis cried out in alarm, their faces turning pale.
This commotion also alerted the others.
Everyone turned their heads to look in their direction.
The expressions on their faces varied.
“Mr.
Lewis, what’s wrong, are you feeling unwell?”
Haward Stewart asked with a fake look of confusion.
Vic Lewis waved his hand and said weakly, “Mr.
Stewart, I’m fine, I’m fine.”
“Mr.
Lewis, how do you think of my grandson-in-law then?”
Haward Stewart asked with a big smile.
Hearing this, Vic Lewis’s body trembled violently, and Tianna Lewis quickly stepped forward to steady him.
This was simply a ruthless blow to the hearts of the Lewis family!
Vic Lewis forced a smile and said, “Mr.
Stewart, your grandson-in-law is very outstanding, very good indeed.”
“Hahaha, I think so too!”
Haward Stewart laughed heartily, then waved his hand and said, “I hope everyone enjoys their al today!”
The banquet began, and everyone sat down and indulged in food and drink.
Lionel Yeager and Julia Stewart then went around the tables toasting.
Soon, Julia Stewart led Lionel Yeager to the table where the Lewis family mbers were sitting.
“Miss Stewart, Mr.
Yeager, congratulations!”
Vic Lewis tremblingly stood up and raised his wine glass.
Even if his heart was filled with discontent, he still had to put on a facade.
The other mbers of the Lewis family also stood up.
Lionel Yeager narrowed his eyes and asked, “Vic Lewis, are you sincerely congratulating Julia and , or is this just an insincere formality?”
