Anthony had met with many big and powerful figures before, and some of them had an even more powerful and higher status compared to Donald. However, those big figures actually treated him with reverence and respect. 3
This was the first time Anthony had met anyone such as the Webb family, who was being so disrespectful toward him.
Even though the Webb family was indeed the top and most influential family in Sudbury and the South Region, Anthony was not afraid of them at all.
Therefore, he simply turned down and refused their request flatly, i
Donald could not help but frown. He never expected Anthony to blatantly ignore his request. Since he had already made a personal trip to invite the genius doctor to make a trip to see his youngest son, he expected him to immediately agree to his request. He did not expect Anthony to turn down his request without any hesitation whatsoever! 1
Donald was very annoyed at this time, and he said coldly, "Dr. Simmons, I truly hope that you can speak t o me more politely. Do you really need me to remind you how powerful and influential the Webb family is?" 2
Anthony snorted coldly before he replied arrogantly, "I have already lived to such an old age, my tone and the
way I speak has always been like this. If you cannot accept the way I speak, you are free to leave." 3 "You..."
Donald was extremely furious inside!
Ever since he had arrived at Aurous Hill, he felt that the people here were all a little strange. 3
He could not understand why there seemed to be obstacles wherever he went. Moreover, it seemed as though it was completely useless for him to bring up the Webb family's name and reputation in Aurous Hill.
The banquet dinner last night was also proof of his suspicions. Even though Zeke, Graham, and Albert were all very polite and respectful toward him on the surface, they did not take any of his requests seriously at all.
However, at this point, even Anthony dared to be so impolite and disrespectful toward him! Did the people in Aurous Hill really have no fear for the Webb family from Sudbury at all? 5
