Chapter 189 Not Even Qualified
Hugo, alongside Ezra and Miguel, had been kneeling in front of the gate of the Turner residence for over an hour.
Throughout the entire time, no one bothered about them other than a single servant who said a few words to them.
Yet, they dared not leave or even budge an inch.
In fact, they did not even have the guts to shift on their knees despite having kneeled there for an hour.
“Dad, why don’t we just leave? The Turner family doesn’t have any intention of seeing us, so it won’t do us any good even if we were to kneel here until dawn breaks.” Ezra finally snapped after having been on his knees for so long.
“Shut up!” Hugo shot him a baleful glare. “Even if we have to kneel until dawn breaks, you’ve got no choice but to do so!”
“Dad!”
Ezra was going to argue, but Hugo cut him off right away. “If you don’t want to die, just stay on your knees here! Are you trying to drag the Smith family down with you by leaving now?”
“Dad, I…” Resentment was written all over Ezra’s face.
I’ve been kneeling here for over an hour, and my legs are about to be crippled! Still, the Turner family shows no signs of meeting us! What’s more, they didn’t even open the gate!
“Zip it!”
Hugo shot daggers at him and continued kneeling there without daring to twitch a single muscle.
More than an hour later, the gate of the Turner residence swung open at long last.
A servant dressed in black walked out and looked down at the trio condescendingly, ordering, “Come in. Mr. Turner has agreed to meet you!”
“Mr. Turner has agreed to meet us?” When Hugo heard that, a glimmer of jubilation flashed across his dour face.
As long as the Turner family is willing to see us, it means that we still have a ray of hope!
“Follow me!”
Without sparing them a single look, the servant strode into the house. Meanwhile, Hugo was helped up from the ground by Ezra and Miguel before they all trailed after the man.
All the way there, the servant walked ahead while the three of them walked behind him.
Never once did they dare overtake him.
Of course, they also did not dare even to steal a peek at the artificial rocks, lakes, and swimming pools.
After walking for a little over ten minutes, the servant finally came to a stop before a swimming pool.
Lifting his head, he looked at Timothy and announced, “They’re here, Mr. Turner!”
“Got it.”
Lounging on a chair, Timothy did not open his eyes as he enjoyed the massage given by a few attractive female celebrities. He merely waved a hand, upon which the servant immediately left.
