Chapter 489 An Audience
There were still a few silver needles inserted at the spot between his eyes, as well as on his chest. They were there to seal off his acupoints to forcibly keep him alive. “Grandpa…” Melanie whispered as tears welled up in her eyes.
“I have to admit that I’ve grown old,” Solomon started. “Bury me in Grave Nine at Xanfield after I die. My good friend had read my fortune before, and he said that Grave Nine is a fantastic place in terms of geomancy. That place would be able to ensure that the Sanchez family continues to flourish. He was a master in geomancy, and he was, in a way, a master of fortune-telling. Your great-grandfather—my father—was buried in Grave Nine at Xanfield per his guidance. That is why the Sanchez family has been thriving steadily all these years.”
Melanie did not register his words at all, for she was overwhelmed with sadness. It was as if a giant rock was crushing her chest.
“Why are you crying? You won’t look pretty if you have tear running down your face. No one will want you—even Atticus won’t want you,” Solomon said to her in a weak voice.
“I don’t like Atticus.” Melanie wiped her tears. “He’s despicable. The one I like will be a hero like Lord Campbell.” Lord Campbell?
Solomon smiled bitterly. He had always wanted to meet the impressive young man, but he never got the chance to do that.
If he could continue to live, he would like to meet the spectacular young man. Unfortunately, he had no more chances as he was dying.
While Melanie was in the throes of sorrow, she heard someone talking outside. “There’s a young man called Donald Campbell who’s seeking an audience with Mr. Sanchez. He said he’ll be able to cure Mr. Sanchez.”
Melanie stiffened. Then, she walked out of the room and yelled, “Hurry up and bring him in!” Gregor scowled when he heard that. He knew best what kind of condition Solomon was in, and he would confidently say that no one would be able to cure the elderly man.
After all, Solomon was suffering from multiple organ failure and he was old. No medication would be able to save him.
Soon, Melanie saw the young man brought into the room. She was taken aback for a moment before she uttered, “Did you say that you can save my grandpa?”
Meanwhile, Donald was observing Melanie as well.
The pink coat woman, who looked like she was around the age of twenty-seven to twenty-eight, was clearly an aggressive individual. She had a marvelous figure, and her skin was as fair as milk.
Moreover, she had no wrinkles on her face, and her teeth were pearly white. Her large eyes were beautiful, and she had an oval-shaped face. Nevertheless, the shape of her face was far better than the oval-shaped faces that influencers tend to have.
Donald nodded. “That’s right.” “How did you know that my grandpa’s sick?” Melanie coldly questioned. She would have had a glimmer of hope if the man was an elderly person.
However, the man in front of her was a young man, and he was confidently claiming that he could cure her grandfather. Thus, Melanie was quick to think that he was a scammer.
He was either a scammer, or he was a spy sent by the other clans. Regardless of what identity he had, Melanie was not going to let him go easily.
Nevertheless, Donald’s expression did not change even after he heard her question. In a terrifyingly calm tone, he introduced, “I’m from Pollerton, and my grandpa is Raymond Campbell. I’ve heard him mention that he’s Mr. Sanchez’s good friend.”
Raymond Campbell of Pollerton?
Melanie blinked before realization struck her hard. He’s the grandson of that fraud! “It’s you. You were the boy who was nearly killed by the Campbell clan.” Melanie knew about that.
Donald inclined his head in agreement. A mocking expression then emerged on Melanie’s face. “What’s the matter? Are you hoping that my grandpa will help you settle the grudge you have with the Campbell clan before he passes away?”
As far as she could tell, once her grandfather passed away, the Campbell clan would certainly make a move against Donald and Raymond. Therefore, Donald was there to seek help from her grandfather before he died. Donald would ask Solomon to help him deal with the Campbell clan with the last bit of power Solomon had.
Donald was shocked by the woman’s words. What vivid imagination she has.
