Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid
Chapter 40

At the doorway, Daniel turned around, "Young miss, do me a favour. Let them finish smoking."

The pretty waitress replied, "Alright, that's fine, Sir."

Lawrence Herbert was too furious for words.

F***

As soon as they entered the room, Zeke gave Daniel a thumbs up and a little flattery. "Dad, that was awesome."

Daniel laughed heartily. "Haha! Of course. You all should have seen how Lawrence Herbert's face turned beet red just now! After being oppressed by Lawrence Herbert in the hospital for so long, it's the first time he has suffered in my hands."

Hannah Lawson was not pleased. She scolded Daniel, "You fool, why did you ask me to come in here first? I wanted to tell them that our Zeke has taken the old hospital director as an apprentice. Even the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau has to show respect to Zeke. His son is nothing compared to our son-in-law. He isn't fit to even lick Zeke's boots."

Zeke felt on top of the world.

Seated nearby, Lacey felt speechless and helpless.

To be truthful, she did not agree with her parent's way of handling the situation.

However, the way things turned out was indeed satisfying.

Hannah continued grumbling for a little while before she started looking at the menu.

After reading a few pages of the menu, Hannah sighed, "The food in this big hotel isn't expensive, some only cost ten bucks a plate."

Lacey frowned, "Really? How can that be possible?"

Hannah lifted the menu up. "You take a look. I won't lie to you."

Lacey glanced at it and suddenly laughed, "Mom, read carefully, the price is in thousands!"

"This dish costs ten thousand, not ten."

What!

Hannah could not believe her eyes, "Ten thousand a dish? Is this dish made of gold?"

Daniel puffed hard on his cigarette to hide his shock. “Hmm, old ladies know so little. In here, ten thousand a dish is considered normal."

Hannah glared at Daniel, "You speak as if you're not shocked yourself. Look, your cigarette butt is about to burn your lips."

"Oh? My gosh!" Daniel quickly spat out the butt. There was a blister on his lip.

Hannah sighed, "Just one dish in here is almost Daniel's salary for one month. Zeke, we really cannot afford this. Let's go to another restaurant.” Zeke smiled. "Dad and mom, just order as you wish. Our expenditure here is free."

Free of charge!

The whole Hinton family gazed at Zeke in shock.

How high his status must be to be worthy of such privilege!

In the main dining hall, Lawrence and his son were seething with fury. They had been thoroughly humiliated.

Lawrence said with gritted teeth, "Damn it. Isn't that Zeke a toy boy for Lacey? How could he have so much influence?"

William chided, "Father, put that aside for now. Later, when you treat Mr. Raynor, we'll be respected by him if he's cured and recovered. When that happens, we can ask Mr. Raynor to cancel Zeke's membership and drive him out. Our humiliation would be avenged."

Lawrence nodded, "Hmm, you're right. Yes, William, you have to work hard, too. When Mr. Raynor's daughter Susan Raynor comes later, you must impress her and win her hand. If you're married to Susan Raynor, our family's status can easily be higher than that of Daniel Hinton's family."

William laughed, "Father, don't worry. I've already checked Susan Raynor's background. I guarantee I'll capture her heart. Look, she's here."

Not far away, two attractive figures could be seen approaching. Heads were turning their way.

One of them must be Mr. Raynor's daughter, Susan Raynor.

The other was Emily Clemons!

It was a long story. The opportunity for Lawrence Herbert to come and treat Mr. Raynor was Emily Clemons' doing.
