Chapter 15

But neither of them had ever encountered such a situation before, and both of them were regular employees.

“Maybe we should call Drew Paul and ask him. He’s a high-ranking executive in his company now,” Bernard Whittier’s mother suddenly said.

Although Bernard Whittle’s father was a little hesitant, he still quickly dialed Drew Paul’s number. After all, this matter involved his beloved daughter, and he couldn’t afford to neglect it.

“Xiaoqiang! I’m sorry to bother you at such a late hour! There’s a problem with Bernard. Could you please come over?” Bernard Whittle’s father pleaded.

Meanwhile, Drew Paul was scrolling through his phone instead of sleeping. He covered the microphone with his hand and asked his wife beside him:

“Uncle called and said that something seems to have happened to Bernard. He wants me to go over there. It’s so late now. Do you think I should go?”

Drew Paul’s wife frowned at him and quickly said:

“Go ahead! Hurry up! Bernard is a talented student from Berlin University. Who knows what the future holds for her? Besides, she’s quite pretty. It wouldn’t be difficult for her to find a wealthy husband in the future.”

Helping him now is like making an investment. There will definitely be some rewards in the future. That’s also why I gave Bernard the apple set.

Upon hearing this, Drew Paul thought his wife made some valid points. Bernard had become quite attractive lately. It would be easy for her to marry a wealthy man.

So as long as Bernard gets married, she definitely won’t forget the kindness I’ve shown her. By then, will what I’ve invested still be worth anything?

Thinking of this, he quickly moved the microphone away and said, “Uncle, don’t worry. Where are you right now? I’ll drive over to find you right away.”

After saying those words, Drew Paul found the location of Bernard Whittle’s parents and drove there.

But at that very moment, Bernard Whittle’s father actually spoke up: “What do you think? Should we ask Todd Elsey? Todd Elsey seems to be quite talented these days. Last time we had dinner together, he made 500,000 in one night alone…”

But before Bernard Whittle’s father could finish speaking, Bernard Whittle’s mother frowned deeply and said in a gloomy tone:

“I tell you, no matter what dangers it involves, even if it means my death, I won’t ask him for it.”

What’s the point of a worthless person who can only make money? I despise such people. Isn’t it all about money anyway? What’s so great about that?

It can be said that Todd Elsey’s actions at that time did make many of the Liu family’s relatives view him more positively. However, there were also those who resented him.

After all, to them, Todd Elsey had always been a good-for-nothing. But yet, this very good-for-nothing somehow managed to get ahead of them all of a sudden. He even made 500,000 in just one night. Of course, this was enviable—and also jealous-inducing. Especially for someone like Bernard Whittle’s mother, who was so snobbish, she certainly wouldn’t go out of her way to ask Todd Elsey for help.

Bernard Whittle’s father felt it wasn’t safe. So, without his wife’s knowledge, he sent a message to Todd Elsey. He had a vague feeling that Todd Elsey seemed to possess much more power than Drue Paul. The Hazlitt family and the Mo family… what kind of people were they?

He’s one of the most important figures in Berlin. If even Todd Elsey treats him with such respect, it’s undeniable that he has considerable influence.

Meanwhile, Juliet Hazlitt and Todd Elsey were anxiously waiting for Bernard Whittier to return. Like any concerned parents, they’d gone through a lot of worry because of this child.

The next moment, Juliet Hazlitt’s phone suddenly rang. After taking a look at the screen, her expression changed dramatically. She hadn’t expected Bernard Whittle to have caused some trouble.

He quickly woke Todd Elsey up and drove to Bernard Whittier’s KTV. In the car, Juliet Hazlitt said to Todd Elsey:

“Todd Elsey, this might not be that simple. If things really don’t work out, then please plead with the Turner family. We owe them a debt of gratitude. We’ll pay it back slowly, but please make sure nothing happens to Bernard.”

Todd Elsey waved his hand lightly and said calmly, “It’s okay. Just trust me. If I really can’t solve the problem, I’ll contact Mr. Qian.”

Juliet Hazlitt nodded slightly, but she was somewhat impatient. After all, Bernard Whittle had come to regard Juliet Hazlitt as his own sister. Now that his “new sister” was in trouble, how could he possibly remain calm?

Perhaps around ten minutes later, Juliet Hazlitt and Todd Elsey had arrived at the KTV where Bernard Whittle was. Along with them were Drew Paul and others as well.

Seeing Todd Elsidro Paul, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face. Although Todd Elsid had indeed given him some of the profits, Dr. Paul remembered how embarrassed Todd Elsid had made him during the last family gathering. Naturally, he was extremely angry.

“That uncle of ours! Since Todd Elsey and the others are here, I suppose they’ll be able to handle this situation. I’ll go back now. I still have to work tomorrow.” Drew Paul said with a gloomy expression.

Bernard Whittle’s parents explained over the phone when they heard this: “I have no idea how they got wind of it. Qiangzi, we really need your help with this. Otherwise, Bernard is going to be in trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Drew Paul felt his pride was greatly satisfied. Last time, Todd Elsey had made him lose face. How could he not get his pride back this time?

So, he walked slowly toward the private room where Bernard Whittle was. But at that moment, two young men were standing outside Bernard Whittle’s room. The two young men gave Drew Paul a disdainful look, then continued to smoke their cigarettes.

Seeing this expression, Drew Paul hesitated for a moment. After all, for him, with all the commotion going on, the owner of the karaoke bar wasn’t even present. That clearly meant the person in question held significant power.

But Drew Paul had no choice. After all, he had promised his uncle that if he ran away at this moment, it would be a huge embarrassment. So, he had no choice but to go into the KTV booth. And inside that KTV booth…

Mo Huang was lazily lying on the sofa. Beside him sat Bernard Whittle. Although Bernard Whittle’s face was slightly swollen, he wasn’t seriously injured. So, Mo Huang rushed forward to help, but he was stopped by a young man.

“What on earth do you people want to do?” Bernard Whittle’s mother asked, laughing.

It wasn’t until this moment that Mo Huang finally got up from the sofa. He explained, “I suppose you’re this girl’s parents, right? There are some things I need to discuss with you. After all, she’s still just a child. I really don’t want to argue with a child. So, I have no choice but to talk to you.”
