Chapter 35: Who Dares to Move Dr. Cornell

A single sentence left everyone's faces incredibly colorful. That's Luna, the Tatham family's pearl in the palm, and this country bumpkin dares to speak to her like that! "Country bumpkin, you dare speak to Luna like that, believe it or not, I'll have you kicked out of Skyward State right away!" Chloe growled. Isaac also sneered, "Kid, do you really think you've become a phoenix after landing on a branch? You're just a country bumpkin, and you'll never be able to break into our circle." "Ladies and gentlemen, this country bumpkin previously caused a ruckus in the Tatham family. The old patriarch kindly spared his life, but this guy has no shame and even dares to appear in such a place. Do you think such a person deserves to stay here?" Andrew glanced at the people around him and asked loudly. "If what Mr. Lewis said is true, then such a person should indeed leave." "True, but who can prove this is true? We don't know that kid." "Mr. Lewis and Ms. Tatham should be able to vouch for it, right?" "There's obviously a conflict between them. Besides, Ms. Ford is standing by that kid's side. Who knows who's telling the truth." The crowd was buzzing with discussion. At this moment, David emerged from the crowd and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this man indeed caused a ruckus in the Tatham family not long ago. I can testify to this." "Even Mr. Tatham is testifying, it must be true!" "This is going to be interesting. This kid is doomed. He even dares to mess with the Tatham family!" "Kid, get out of here. This is a high-end cocktail party, and we don't welcome you, country bumpkin!" Everyone spoke up, their gazes at Jonathan full of disdain. David approached Jonathan and said indifferently, "Kid, I know you're unsatisfied, but I've already given you the compensation you deserve. I hope you know how to behave yourself, or don't blame me for being heartless!" Jonathan sneered, "David, do you think I'm as shameless as you, forgetting all the kindness of the past? Do you remember what I said before? How has your body been these days, doesn't it feel like it's back to how it was ten years ago?" David was stunned, immediately recalling Jonathan's warning before he left last time. He had indeed been feeling weak recently, and his body was in unbearable pain. He had seen several doctors, but none could figure out what was wrong with him. Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Jonathan continued, "You have half a month left before the onset of the disease. I can wait. Remember, when you're bedridden and in unbearable pain, don't come begging me!" "Humph, arrogant fool. Do you think there's no one in this world who can cure my grandfather except you? I'll tell you, there are many people in this world who have better medical skills than you and your Madam! Andrew has already contacted the Everwell Clinic in Skyward State. They have many renowned doctors, especially the Clinic Leader, who is unparalleled in medical skills, much better than you, country bumpkin!" At this point, Luna snorted coldly, looking up in disdain. Andrew chuckled, "Luna, why bother getting angry with a dying man? This kid has deceived the Ford family and offended the Cropper family. Mr. Cropper has said that he will kill this kid sooner or later. You might not see him after a while." Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. This kid must be tired of living, daring to provoke the Tatham family and the Cropper family at the same time! Just then, a somewhat old voice came, "How about the Tatham family, and what about the Cropper family? Is my William's son-in-law someone you can touch?" Everyone looked over to see an old man walking into the crowd. It was the Ford family's old patriarch, William! A single sentence made all the people at the cocktail party explode like a pot. "William's son-in-law? Did I hear that right!" "This...this is impossible, Evelyn is my goddess, it can't be, absolutely impossible!" "Impossible my foot, didn't you see Mr. Ford personally speaking? This must be true!" Everyone saw William come to Jonathan's side, and for a moment everyone was stunned, the disdain in their eyes turning into envy. The son-in-law of the Ford family, that's not just about marrying a beauty, but also getting the support of the Ford family and becoming infinitely glorious! David and others didn't expect William to appear suddenly and immediately furrowed their brows. At this moment, Andrew said, "Mr. Ford, as a junior, there are some things I have to remind you. You must open your eyes wide and don't be fooled by others." Luna also said, "Andrew is right, this country bumpkin is definitely deceiving people. You absolutely can't believe him, sir!" "Humph, I don't need you youngsters to teach me how to do things. The fact that Dr. Cornell is my son-in-law has become a reality. You people from the Tatham family are blind, missing a real dragon. My eyes are not blind!" William said. "A real dragon? Him? He's just a country bumpkin, at most a toad in shallow water!" Chloe said disdainfully. "Stinky woman, who are you calling a toad? You're a toad, your whole family is!" Jonathan glared. "You! You see, country bumpkins really have no manners!" Chloe retorted angrily. Evelyn laughed, "It seems like you started the name-calling first, Chloe. If anyone lacks manners, it's you." "What did you say!" "Alright, Chloe," Luna held back the angry Chloe, then turned to William and said, "Don't blame me for not warning the Ford family. This country bumpkin has offended the Cropper family. Do you want to fight the Cropper family for him? You should know the Cropper family's way of doing things. It's not a good deal to put the Ford family in danger for a country bumpkin." "Our Ford family doesn't need others to worry about how we do things. I will protect my son-in-law, even the Cropper family cannot hurt him." William said. Andrew sneered, "I admit that the Ford family's strength is not weaker than the Cropper family's. With you, sir, the Cropper family can't hurt this country bumpkin. But even a tiger has times when it's drowsy. Can your Ford family protect him forever?" Just as William was about to speak, another voice came, "If the Ford family is not enough, what about adding us?" The voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears. Everyone followed the voice and saw a young and beautiful girl leading an old man into the crowd. "Isn't that Mr. Leigh Liam and his granddaughter Grace from the Leigh family? They're here too!" "What did he mean by what he said? It sounds like they're going to protect that country bumpkin as well." "This...this is impossible. That's the Leigh family! Their strength is no less than the Ford family's. There's no reason to value a country bumpkin so much!" Amid the shocked gazes of everyone, Liam came in front of Luna and the others. Liam's sharp gaze swept over Luna and the others. "With me here, I'd like to see who dares to touch Dr. Cornell!"
