The Luckiest Dumb Doctor - Chapter 259

Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Scheming Behind the Scenes_1

A few months ago, there were no dividends from the supermarket, but this month they were all transferred at once, a total of more than two million.

After the money was credited to his account, Greg Jensen immediately transferred two million to Adrian Wright.

Considering they were already losing to the point of bankruptcy, it would be unreasonable not to transfer the money quickly.

After paying for the house, Greg Jensen was left with one point three million in his hands, enough for everyday expenses, but making it hard to do much else.

…

Late at night, Jamae City’s catering industry had mostly closed, but the entertainment industry, fueled by alcohol and ambiguity, was bustling.

The already-closed Cindy Harrison’s private kitchen saw its staff leave, but the office was still brightly lit.

Cindy Harrison had a gloomy expression, as if water could drip from her face.

Judy Lampe looked at her and, feeling helpless, sighed and asked, “Has Mr. Locke not returned yet?”

“He’s back, at home.”

“Why not… ask Mr. Locke?”

“What’s the use of asking him? Every time I bring up Greg Jensen, he gives me the cold shoulder.”

Cindy Harrison snorted coldly, lifted her head, and turned to Judy Lampe to ask, “What about that private detective we asked last time? Did he find anything?”

“He only found out that Greg Jensen seems to have a girlfriend named Vince Cooper, who studies at Jamae University, and he also seems to have a good relationship with Vince Cooper’s two best friends.”

Cindy Harrison gnashed her teeth and said, “Then grab that Vince Cooper person and let’s see what Greg Jensen is so proud of!”

Judy Lampe felt a jolt in her heart and quickly said, “Cindy, you’re about to get married, you really can’t mess around at this time.”

“Forget it, I’ll think about it.”

Marrying Ethan Locke was a stepping stone for Cindy Harrison’s class transition, arguably the most important event of her life, so of course, she didn’t dare to act rashly.

However, the declining sales of Cindy’s Private Kitchen were making her increasingly irritable.

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow, I’m heading back now.”

“Hmm, talk to Mr. Locke again, maybe he’ll be willing to help.”

Cindy Harrison silently nodded and drove back to Ethan Locke’s villa.

In the villa, Ethan Locke was cuddling with a beauty and drinking.

Instead of getting angry at the sight, Cindy Harrison approached with a smile and cooed, “You bad boy, where did you find this wild filly?”

Ethan Locke was very pleased with her attitude and laughed, “My car was parked on the side of the road, and she pretended to get into the wrong car.

Since she came to me, how could I let her go?”

“Husband’s charm is still so strong.”

Cindy Harrison smiled and went in for a kiss.

Ethan Locke gently pushed her away, took out ten thousand yuan from his bag, threw it to the woman, and said, “Alright, you can go back first, I’ll find you again when I’m free.”

The woman seemed reluctant, but seeing the coldness in Cindy Harrison’s eyes, she quickly stood up, took the money, and left.

Ethan Locke noticed her change of mood and asked cheerfully, “Jealous?”

“Not at all!”

Cindy Harrison snorted and turned her head away, acting as if she was waiting to be coaxed.

Ethan Locke laughed, squeezed her voluptuous body part, and said, “It’s normal for men to play around in the heat of the moment.

Don’t worry, even if the other person is a big star, the official wife of our family is only you.”

“Like I’d believe you.”

Despite saying she didn’t believe him, Cindy Harrison’s mood improved quite a bit, and she clung onto him like an octopus.

Her lively figure aroused Ethan Locke’s desires.

The two didn’t hold back at all, unleashing their physical affection for each other in the living room, expressing their longing.

Ten minutes later, Ethan Locke leaned back on the sofa, content, looked down, stroked Cindy Harrison’s head, and asked, “While I wasn’t at home, did you find someone else?”

“Umm, of course not, I’ve been very good.”

Cindy Harrison beamed and looked up, then as if she remembered something, her expression darkened slightly, and she huffed,

“It’s just that Greg Jensen is too hateful, not only harassing me but also stealing my business.”

“Greg Jensen? He’s come to you again?”

Ethan Locke’s face darkened immediately upon hearing Greg Jensen’s name, and he said coldly, “What did he say to you?”

Seeing Ethan Locke’s unpleasant expression, Cindy Harrison was fearful of saying too much and quickly said, “He didn’t really say much, just some sarcastic remarks.

But he’s nearly snatched away all my business, and I’m out of ideas now.”

Ethan Locke scoffed, “Heh, just a country bumpkin from the countryside, how hard can it be to deal with him?”

“Then tell me how to deal with him.”

Cindy Harrison looked pitiful, like a helpless victim being bullied.

Ethan Locke stroked her hair, pondering, “Send him to jail then. The private detective has also sent me some information about Greg Jensen.

Doesn’t he have a girlfriend? We’ll start with her.”

“Kidnap the girlfriend?” Cindy Harrison asked somewhat excitedly.

Ethan Locke shook his head, smiling coldly, “That’s too crude. We kidnap his girlfriend today; if he gives in tomorrow, do we let her go?

If we let her go and he causes trouble again, what do we do? Kidnap his girlfriend again?

If you strike at a snake, you must kill it, lest it bite back!

If it weren’t for our upcoming wedding, I’d have someone kill him outright.”

Cindy Harrison nodded dimly, asking, “So what do you plan to do?”

“It’s simple. We don’t kidnap his girlfriend; we kidnap her best friend and have her best friend cooperate with us in acting out a drama.”

“Act out a drama?”

Ethan Locke patted her head to encourage her to continue, then smiled unscrupulously.

…

Dreamscape Garden was doing steady business, and Greg Jensen was very happy. Early in the morning, he took Trey Holmes to the vegetable base to check on the progress there.

A steel wire fence had been erected around the base, and beside the black silk wrought iron gate was a signboard that read “Peach Blossom Agricultural Products Base” among other inscriptions.

Above the gate hung a signboard emblazoned with four large characters — Peach Blossom Farmstead.

It looked quite impressive and magnificent, far better than the original vegetable base.

The security guard at the gate recognized Greg Jensen’s car and, without waiting for him to say anything, directly opened the gate to let them in.

Trey Holmes, gripping the steering wheel, parked the car in front of the temporary office building made of prefabricated panels, following Greg Jensen’s directions.

“Mr. Jensen, you’ve arrived.”

Big Boss Liu was inside, discussing matters with the construction team. Seeing Greg Jensen arriving, he quickly rose to greet him.

Greg Jensen asked, “How is everything going?”

“The greenhouse covers have gone up for nearly a hundred acres, and sowing and seedling cultivation will start in a couple of days.”

“Hmm.”

Greg Jensen nodded and said, “How is everything with the third brother? Has all the herbal medicine been harvested?”

“The harvest is complete and currently en route here. It’s expected to arrive by tomorrow.”

“Hmm, thanks for your hard work. After settling the accounts, ensure the third brother’s share is sent to him promptly.”

Big Boss Liu nonchalantly said, “No rush, let him wait a couple of days.”

Greg Jensen gave him a look and said, “When someone has done the work, you have to pay up. It’s a matter of principle. You’ll have to do it sooner or later, so why foster resentment amongst the ranks?”

“Alright, Mr. Jensen, I understand,” Big Boss Liu quickly replied.

“Once the payment from the processing factory comes through, I’ll transfer his money first.”

“Good. You’ve worked hard too. Go ahead and take your own share.”

“Okay, thank you, Mr. Jensen.”

Big Boss Liu also smiled happily. At the beginning, to curry favor with Greg Jensen, he had given away his own net worth of two million.

He knew that following Greg Jensen would pay off, that the two million would be made back eventually, but he hadn’t expected it to be so soon.

The last batch of medicinal herbs had already brought in a good profit, and this time he expected to earn even more.

Considering the future prospects of Peach Blossom Farmstead, Big Boss Liu felt an intense surge of excitement. His decision to come aboard had indeed been the right one.
