7 p.m. at the Thousand Lakes Manor.
A Maybach slowly approached the parking lot and came to a stop. The Cunningham’s siblings, Charlie and Lily , then got out of the car.
“Brother, how do I look tonight?” Lily asked excitedly.
“Amazing!” Charlie nodded in delight. “Don’t worry, you’re always the pretty one. There’s no way the others wouldn’t be fascinated by you! There are going to be so many decent young men tonight, who will definitely be stunned by you! If one of the sons from the noble families likes you, this will be our chance to kick Sasha out!”
Eagerly, Lily answered, “Don’t be worried, Brother. I heard that Young Master Hughes will be here personally tonight. I couldn’t talk to him when I met him in a rush last time at the Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. Besides, I wasn’t looking my best that day, which was probably why he didn’t notice me. However, I’m going to take him down tonight!”
Charlie grinned, “Seemed like you were prepared. Well then, I hope we won’t let grandpa down. He took so much effort to get us here. We shouldn’t embarrass the Cunninghams today!”
Bobbing her head in agreement, Lily asked, “Oh right, is it true that Joseph Harrison will be emceeing this year’s conference?”
Upon hearing that, Charlie said, “Eastcliff is the host of this conference. Of course, our local famous doctor, the Master of the Watkins Family, is supposed to emcee tonight. But no one knows why the Watkins had all vanished suddenly. Even their residence was empty. It seemed like the authority had got no choice but to ask either Dr. York or Mr. Harrison to handle the event. Unfortunately, Dr. York has been busy lately, so Mr. Harrison will be hosting the conference. But, I don’t think Joseph can handle the situation tonight, and so I guess our representative would be the long-lost Dr. Ellis!”
Lily’s eyes were enlightened in response to her brother’s answer. “Dr. Ellis?! He’s a real big shot! I heard that even the Old Master Hughes is a close friend of his. No one in the Eastshire’s medical industry would disobey Dr. Ellis if he ever says something.”
Like-mindedly, Charlie yearned, “It’s true. Don’t you know many people are here tonight just for Dr. Ellis!”
Suddenly, Lily said, “But Young Master Hughes said that Leonard the Acupuncturist from Mightwater will also be here tonight.”
Charlie shook his head. “Although the skill of Leonard the Acupuncturist can be ranked among the top 10 in the country, he is still from Mightwater, which means there’s no way he will be more influential than Dr. Ellis in the Eastshire. Besides, he’s only here tonight to help out with the conference. He’ll only be doing something if there’s an emergency. The spotlight will still be on Dr. Ellis!”
In sudden realization, Lily chuckled, “But then again, Dr. Ellis’s influence in the Eastshire is prominent! Rumor has it that many people are trying their best to get in here tonight after they found out that Dr. Ellis would also attend the conference. Even the price of the tickets for tonight’s conference is incredibly high!”
Charlie responded as he nodded, “As expected, do you think it was easy for us to get the tickets? Grandpa bought them from an old friend of his with great effort, so don’t you ever waste the tickets. Your target tonight will be Young Master Hughes and mine… hehe… ”
“Nah, stop laughing so creepily. I know you better than you do! Allegedly, Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter, Crystal Harrison, will also be here tonight. You have always had your eyes on her, right? I’m going to see how pretty this legendary campus belle is!” Lily pouted.
