Chapter 881 - 880: Pei the Madman Seems Unconcerned
Gerry’s tender voice came through; he still couldn’t believe that his mother didn’t want him.There must be a reason.
He so hoped that when he was healthy, the first thing he’d see would be his mother’s smile.
In the past, his mother often cried when she saw him, and he wanted to see her smile.
Alan was taken aback; he hadn’t expected him to make such a request.
"Alright, Daddy promises, Gerry."
At this moment, he couldn’t refuse any of Gerry’s requests.
"Gerry wants to make a pinky promise. No going back on your word."
Hearing Alan agree, Gerry’s face lit up with a smile, and he happily extended his little finger.
"Alright, pinky promise."
Alan’s eyes were a bit moist, feeling it was so unfair for Gerry to have such a mother.
If only his mother wasn’t this kind of person, it would be so much better.
Alan’s mother’s eyes were also full of tears, fearing the surgery might fail.
Alan’s father stood by without saying a word,
Watching Gerry being wheeled into the operating room, Alan’s mother couldn’t help but burst into tears.
"Gerry is so unfortunate; it’s all that woman’s fault."
Why couldn’t that woman have a healthy baby, why didn’t she get a proper checkup back then?
If Gerry didn’t exist, though they’d be disappointed about not having a grandson, at least they wouldn’t have to bear this pain.
Alan glanced at his mother, then sat on a chair to wait.
This surgery was destined to be long and would take quite a while.
The phone rang at that moment.
"Alan, come to the Black Market."
It was Annie’s call.
Alan wanted to refuse, but Annie had already hung up.
After hesitating for a long time, he was afraid of missing something important, and the surgery had just started, so it wouldn’t be over any time soon.
He decided to go to the Black Market.
"You wait here; I’m stepping out for a bit."
Without saying much, he left directly.
Black Market——
Alan frowned as he looked at Annie and Owen Lewis sitting in the Conference Room.
"What’s going on?"
Alan was puzzled. Young Master Peary wasn’t here. Could something big have happened?
"I just investigated; the old man actually wants to extend his reach into the MC Group. What an old fox he is."
The MC Group is, you could say, Maxwell Peary’s base of operations on the surface.
The old man’s move clearly intended to infiltrate Maxwell Peary’s faction.
Alan immediately frowned as well; this was no small matter.
Regardless of whether the old man succeeded or not, just his motive had everyone’s alarms going off.
"Does the boss know?"
Alan glanced at Annie. This should have been reported to the boss immediately.
"I just told him, but..."
He seemed to not care at all.
"But what?"
Alan was a bit anxious as he looked at Annie, not liking the way she spoke.
"Mad Maxwell doesn’t seem to care; he just said ’hmm’ and hung up."
Annie shrugged, looking rather helpless.
"Where’s the boss now?"
Could it be that the ever-strategizing boss didn’t understand the seriousness of this?
"In D City, accompanying his little wife... um... visiting high schools."
That’s right, he went to have fun.
It’s like the king has started neglecting his duties.
"Visiting... visiting high schools?"
Alan repeated, unable to believe it, his face full of disbelief.
Visiting high schools, what on earth is that?
Does the boss really have that much leisure?
What on earth is going on?
