The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1202

"Exactly!" Bill mistook Frank's confusion for guilt and was convinced he saw through Frank, rearing his chin as he gloated, "My father is the chief of Zamri's Uplake Hospital, and it's a subsidiary owned by Gene Pearce, the richest man of the east coast."

"What?!"

The students turned toward Bill in shock once he mentioned Gene.

Scary! His father was actually a subordinate of the richest man of the east coast!

It was now obvious that he had the influence to invite all those bigwigs…

However, Bill was himself all too aware that Gene owned hundreds of other hospitals, and his father only owned one of a modest scale.

It sounded amazing, but his father was no more than Gene's lapdog, to be kicked to the curb with just a word from the man.

And for Riverton bigwigs sitting on the stage at the moment, they were all too used to lapdogs barking up the pecking order. The son of a hospital chief? What even gave him the right to even talk to Riverton's senator?

Even if Bill's father had some influence in Zamri, it was not the case statewide in Riverton.

However, even if it was no special privilege, anyone would be intimidated by the mere mention of Gene's name.

As such, Bill's name-dropping proved effective, with the naive students all suddenly worshiping Bill as if he were Gene's son.

Frank, however, saw through Bill's ruse. It was no different from a rat bragging to a lion that it was friends with a dog, even demanding the lion to bend over when it was overreaching all the time.

"Really? You know Gene Pearce?" Frank smiled in amusement.
