Lord Death Is Now Back Home by Chris novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 The 80th Birthday

Early the next morning.

Esther Jefferson woke up early.

By the time Chris Shelby woke up, she had already got breakfast ready.

"I've contacted the best doctor on the East Coast, and in a few days Hope can be sent to the hospital for surgery."

Chris picked up a fritter and said.

"Really?"

When she heard Chris's words, Esther looked at him in disbelief.

He smiled and said, "Of course. Why would I lie to you?"

Esther hesitated for a moment and said, "But the surgery is very expensive and takes a hundred grand. Where did you get that much money?"

"Don't worry. Now that I am home, I will solve all problems. Money is never one of them for me."

As the Primus of Amerosia, Chris owned a secret vault that held untold wealth.

A mere hundred thousand, to him, was like a tiny drop in the bucket.

At this moment, Esther felt that she finally had the support she could rely on in her heart.

Esther said, "Chris, did you see the news? Leon Winston was arrested last night, and all the properties under his name were seized. He finally got what he deserved."

Chris smiled and said nothing.

Leon Winston had done a lot of evil, and this time he would finally be punished by the law.

"I've given you my promise - I will protect you and our daughter. No one can hurt you." Chris said easily.

Esther froze for a moment, and then asked incredulously, "Is it because of you that Leon Winston was arrested?"

Chris nodded and said, "Yes, my lady..."

Before Chris could finish speaking, Esther glared at him and said, "Stop joking, Chris Shelby! Where have you been in these five years?"

Esther didn't believe that Chris could bring down Leon Winston.

Leon was a widely-known gangster in East Coast, and Chris was only a penniless man her family had taken in. How could he bring down Leon?

Chris wanted to tell Esther his true identity, but when he saw her reaction just now, he figured she probably wouldn't believe it if he had told her.

There would be time for him to explain in the future.

"On the next day of our wedding that year, the state issued a military draft, and I went to join the army."

"So that was it!"

Esther nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

She guessed that Chris was just a conscript, and now he returned since it was time.

"Chris, Grandpa called today. It's his 80th birthday. Would you like to come to the party with me tonight?" Esther looked at him expectantly.

Chris nodded, "Of course, I haven't seen your grandfather for a long time. This time, I really want to pay a visit to him! I decided to give him a huge birthday gift and surprise him!"

There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth when he said this.

...

Grand East Coast Hotel.

Today was the 80th birthday of the old Mr. Jefferson, Henry Jefferson.

The whole hotel had been bustling, and countless celebrities had come for the banquet.

As a second-rate family, the Jefferson family did enjoy some influence in East Coast.

"I bring you a pure-gold phoenix hairpin!"

"Please take this Burmese jade sculpture!"

"And my pure-gold bracelets!"

"I got you a pair of diamond earrings!"
