The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

“The Locke family is really enjoying this show.”

“Isn’t that the truth? Not only did they fail to retrieve their lost face, but they’ve also lost it all over again.”

Listenting to the growing murmur around him, Jeffrey Locke’s face alternated between red and green as he asked in a low voice, “Ethan, who on earth have you managed to offend?”

With an innocent look, Ethan replied, “Grandpa, he’s just a rural nobody with no real power. About two years ago, I even beat him up.

Who could’ve guessed… who would’ve thought he’d become this powerful now?”

Jeffrey Locke’s expression was extremely unsightly. If he couldn’t salvage the situation today, the Locke family’s reputation in Jamae would plummet spectacularly.

He subconsciously looked towards Mick Simmons, pleadingly saying, “Mr. Simmons, what do you think about this…”

Mick Simmons knew what he was implying, but his eyes showed disdain as he indifferently said, “I don’t want to get involved in your Jamae affairs; handle it yourself.”

“Heh, what a joke for me to have caused,” said Jeffrey Locke.

Jeffrey Locke knew Mick Simmons had remarkable power, so he had hoped Simmons would intervene and help deal with Greg Jensen.

But Mick Simmons didn’t take the bait at all, blocking him at every turn. Jeffrey Locke was extremely frustrated but still had to keep a smile on his face.

He gave an awkward smile to Mick Simmons, then turned to Greg with an arrogant look and said, “Kid, I’m letting you off today. You’d best be unrelated to today’s incident, or else our Locke family will never let you off!”

He wanted to find a way to temporarily smooth over the current predicament, planning to deal with Greg at a later time.

However, Greg didn’t give him that chance at all.

With a cold smirk, he retorted with mockery, “Am I hearing this right? It was clearly you who set someone on me for no reason, yet from the sound of it, it’s as if I’m the one who made the initial mistake?”

“You… what do you want?” Jeffrey Locke’s face turned ashen, his forehead veins throbbing.

“Apologize, it’s as simple as that. When you do something wrong, you apologize. That’s a lesson even a child understands; don’t you get it?”

“You…”

Jeffrey Locke’s face was extremely contorted with anger, his eyes seemed to be shooting fire as he glared at Greg.

“It’s been years since anyone dared to speak to the Locke family like this, hasn’t it?”

“This kid must be crazy, right?”

The guests watched Greg with dumbfounded expressions, all believing he must have lost his mind.

In their view, regardless of whether today’s matter had anything to do with Greg, it was already quite generous of the Locke family not to trouble him.

And Greg actually expected the Locke family to apologize to him?

Was this not a figment of an overactive imagination?

“The event today was a misstep of the Locke family, we’ll certainly come to apologize another day,” said Jeffrey Locke with a cold face before waving his hand and delivering a chilling command, “Show them out!”

“If you please!”

The butler, Melvin Locke, approached with a cold stare at Greg and the others.

The guests also cast mocking glances at them. It would have been one thing if the Lockes hadn’t apologized, but now that the elder Locke had offered an apology, it meant they had taken a grievance with Greg.

In other words, this kid was as good as dead!

Unconcerned with everyone’s gaze, Greg scoffed, then turned and walked away.

Adrian Wright and Spencer Burley turned pale, hurriedly following behind with rapid steps towards the exit.

Earlier, when a fight was about to break out, they hadn’t thought twice, ready to pick up a wine bottle and help.

Now that they’d cooled off, cold sweat broke out all over them.

Especially for Greg, who had actually dared to demand an apology from the Lockes – the trouble was now huge.

Seeing their reaction, Vivian Shimpson ran out after them, anxiously saying, “Greg, you’re being too impulsive, how could you demand an apology from the Lockes?”

Greg stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at her, and calmly said, “They were in the wrong to begin with. What’s wrong with asking them to apologize?”

Vivian Shimpson said anxiously, “Of course there’s a problem, that’s the Locke family we’re talking about. You’re asking them to apologize, isn’t that just asking for trouble?”

Greg Jensen chuckled lightly, “If the Locke family has done something wrong, why shouldn’t they apologize? Where is the fairness otherwise?”

“Fairness?”

Vivian Shimpson, as if she had heard a joke, incredulously said, “Greg Jensen, you’ve been through a lot too, why are you still so naïve?

Where in this world is there so much fairness?”

Greg Jensen looked at her with a half-smile, “Are you saying that as long as one is powerful enough, they can do whatever they want?”

“Exactly!”

Vivian Shimpson stated seriously, “That’s how the world works. Even if you don’t want to accept it, you can only endure it.”

Greg Jensen nodded silently and asked, “Does that mean, if my power surpasses the Locke family’s, then even killing their entire family wouldn’t be a problem?”

“What you’re saying isn’t wrong, but…”

Vivian Shimpson sized up Greg Jensen dismissively, “But you can stop dreaming. With your family background, you could never surpass the Locke family in this lifetime.”

“Hahaha.”

Looking at Vivian Shimpson’s demeanor, Greg Jensen suddenly found it somewhat absurd and said, “According to what you’re saying, the Locke family should apologize to me.

After all, so many of them couldn’t beat me.”

Vivian Shimpson’s face darkened, and she said somewhat angrily, “Greg Jensen, how do you still not understand?

The strength of the Locke family lies in all aspects. What’s the use of fighting? They have plenty of ways to deal with you.”

“Heh, fighting indeed isn’t anything impressive, but there are some things that you just can’t understand.”

Greg Jensen didn’t bother to explain further, and with a light chuckle, he left with Adrian Wright and the others.

Vivian Shimpson stamped her foot in anger, watching his back and shouted furiously, “Greg Jensen, you will regret this!”

Continuing to walk forward, Greg Jensen didn’t glance back and replied, “When I rejected you before, you said the same thing.

Now, I can tell you clearly, I have never regretted it.”

“You… you jerk!”

Vivian Shimpson bit her lip lightly as tears streamed down uncontrollably, “Bastard, I’m so anxious all for whom, why can’t you understand me?

Go die, it’d be great if the Locke family got rid of you, who cares about your fate?”

…

A tall tree catches the wind!

As Jamae’s premier noble family, the Locke family was always in the spotlight.

As a result, within just half an hour, the incident at the wedding banquet had spread throughout Jamae City.

Even the video of Cindy Harrison and Alan Locke was posted online by someone with an agenda.

In no time, topics like “Locke family’s daughter-in-law is so fair” rocketed to the top of the local trending searches.

And Alan Locke, a scoundrel against moral ethics, became the target of denunciation by numerous netizens.

Two hours after the wedding banquet ended, Locke Corporation issued an announcement.

Alan Locke was stripped of all corporate positions, with all company-provided benefits, including cars and houses, revoked.

The shares he held in the company were also all transferred to Ethan Locke.

Laypeople felt that this move by the Locke family was meant to punish Alan Locke and compensate Ethan Locke, seeing it as a standard operation and not a big deal.

However, the upper class who heard this news were shocked.

Because this simple announcement carried a different significance.

In essence, the next helmsman of the Locke family had shifted from Alan Locke to Ethan Locke.

What was worse, Alan Locke went from a high-ranking corporate CEO to a penniless man overnight.

Greg Jensen, upon hearing this news, just smiled noncommittally, as he was at that moment cheerfully watching those two swindlers.
