Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Waiting to Be Slapped in the Face
Dr. Hale’s daughter, named Rhonda Hale, is very beautiful and highly talented in investment and finance.
At a young age, she already owns two publicly listed companies.
With both talent and looks, she is highly sought after by men all over Esteria, considered the ideal woman in many hearts.
But the daughter takes after Dr. Hale, her standards are particularly high.
Ordinary men, she doesn’t even consider.
So, apart from the Family Head of the Keaton Family, only Evan Zachary, the son born late in Zachary’s life, catches their attention.
However, because the Family Head of the Keaton Family rarely appears in public, the Zachary Family currently values Evan the most.
For this reason, every time Dr. Hale visits the Zachary Family, he deliberately brings his daughter, hoping to create opportunities for her to spend time with Evan.
In addition, Dr. Hale has also hinted a few times in front of Mr. Zachary about wanting to form a marriage alliance.
But so far, Mr. Zachary has not shown any inclination.
The strange thing is, just now, in Mr. Zachary’s appreciative gaze, Dr. Hale actually sensed his expectations.
There’s always a feeling that Mr. Zachary might support this girl being matched with Evan.
Even though they are only casual acquaintances, and the likelihood is very slim, Dr. Hale absolutely won’t allow this to happen.
He was pondering how to damage the good impression this girl made in Mr. Zachary’s view when he saw the girl suddenly roll up her sleeves and walk towards the luggage.
"Young lady, are you going to help us carry these boxes?"
This time it was Mr. Zachary who spoke up.
"These boxes are very heavy. If you want to help us, it would be better to find a few strong young men."
This time in Westmarch, besides bringing a few sets of clothes, Mr. Zachary also brought his favorite jade chess pieces. The butler brought a stone pot for brewing medicine for Mr. Zachary, a cast iron pot for cooking, and other specialized cookware.
And although Dr. Hale didn’t bring those heavy pots, he did bring some premium wine for an occasional drink and some medicinal materials.
The total weight should be no less than 300 pounds.
With such weight, even a robust young man might not be able to carry all of them upstairs.
Let alone, July Quinn, who appears to have slender arms and legs.
Mr. Zachary always felt that July Quinn’s delicate wrists might get crushed under these heavy boxes.
"Yes, it’s better to get a few strong young men to help. Despite us three being elderly, the things we bring are quite heavy."
The butler echoed, evidently on the same page as Mr. Zachary.
But July Quinn shook her head: "No need, I can do it."
Saying this, July Quinn proceeded to lift the boxes.
Dr. Hale was just worried he wouldn’t get a chance to criticize July Quinn, yet she went ahead and exposed her own weakness.
So, Dr. Hale followed the flow and smiled: "It’s good for young people to be confident, but overconfidence is not. If you don’t carry these hundreds of pounds of weight properly, it will strain your body."
"Dr. Hale is right, it’s really too heavy and will strain your body. Young lady, just help us find a few young men."
The butler, hearing Dr. Hale say that it could strain the body, hurried forward, wanting to stop July Quinn.
But at this moment, July Quinn suddenly turned around and coldly locked eyes with Dr. Hale.
Perhaps because she learned medicine from Monroe, knowing that it was someone named Hale who caused the Monroe Family to lose the title of Aphelion’s top pharmaceutical family and forced them to leave the land entirely.
Moreover, the person in front of her is also named Hale and is a doctor...
July Quinn instantly connected the two, becoming somewhat displeased with this person.
Her tone also turned a bit colder.
"If you can’t do it yourself, don’t doubt others."
Not knowing if it was a misconception, Dr. Hale also read some hostility from July Quinn’s eyes, making him somewhat annoyed.
"Fine, then I want to see how you, young lady, plan to carry up these hundreds of pounds of boxes!"
Dr. Hale believed that very few people could carry such heavy boxes up.
This young lady is just waiting to embarrass herself. When she’s crushed by such heavy boxes until she coughs up blood, he won’t help treat her.
But the fact was... it was his own face that got slapped!
