The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame novel Chapter 16

After hanging up the phone, Harrison felt a tinge of fear.

The big shot from the Heavenly Private Room was not to be messed around. He had his ways of getting things done, and he could do so ferociously.

Not even Harrison nor the whole Queen family could defend themselves against him.

Even the influential personnel of Pollerton General Hospital were warned to stay put. Destroying the Queen family would be a piece of cake for him!

Harrison intended to find out who made the first move, but in the end, he decided not to.

Based on what he had learned so far, he knew that the big shot would find out right away if he began investigating the case.

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

Harrison understood that much.

After dealing with Pollerton General Hospital, Donald approached his grandfather and held his hands in silence. He stayed like that for a long time. Suddenly, Donald's phone rang. He frowned, only to find out later that it was a call from his good friend, Rafe.

Rafe and Donald were high school classmates. Although they had not kept in touch for several years, Rafe was the first person Donald contacted when he first arrived in Pollerton.

Rafe did not have a happy marriage. He married into the Scott family.

His wife, Faye, is a rather plump and dominant lady. Rafe did not have a proper job. He was in the second-hand housing business. To put it simply, he was only an agent. As a blunt and honest person, Rafe did not do very well. He could only earn about six thousand every month.

“Hello, Rafe,” Donald answered the call.

“Donald, would you like to come to our high school gathering at noon?” Rafe asked with a smile.

“No, I am not going,” Donald rejected the invitation.

Rafe replied, “That won't do. Come! Please come for my sake. Even the popular girl in our class is going. Oliver King will be there. He contacted me a few days ago, saying he has set his sights on one of the houses in Pollerton Estates. I am worried I can't make a sale, but you have a way with words, so I want to ask for your help.”

Donald sank into deep thought.

Pollerton Estates... Isn't that developed by Charles? The current market rate is almost three hundred thousand per square meter. Given that the houses there are all at least three hundred square meters, one house should be worth more than a hundred million, including tax. There is an enormous mansion at three thousand square meters in Pollerton Estates. Renovation was completed last year. It is currently valued at 1.3 billion! It's one of the most expensive properties in Pollerton, which makes it very popular among housing agents. The commission could go up to ten million if anyone could close the deal!

“Sure,” Donald agreed immediately.

After he hung up the phone, he called Charles right away. “Hey Charlie, have you sold the Prime Property of Pollerton?”

Charles replied, “Not yet, Lord Campbell. It was renovated last year. The grand renovation alone cost over 100 million. Mr. Lane has informed me that the ownership can be transferred to you when you return.”

“All right. Wait for my call,” Donald responded.

Rafe called a while later. “Donald, do you have time now? Could you come by Pollerton Estates? Oliver is coming to look at the house now.”

Donald agreed right away.

He hailed a taxi and rushed over to Pollerton Estates.

When he arrived, Donald saw Rafe registering with the security guard. He had his suit and name tag on.

“Hi, Donald. Let's wait a while. Oliver said he will be here in ten minutes,” Rafe said with a smile as he patted Donald's shoulder. “By the way, have you gathered enough money for your grandpa's medical fees?” “Yes, it's enough.” Donald was also pleased to see Rafe.

“I'm sorry I couldn't help you there,” Rafe apologized.

Donald spotted a few scratch marks on Rafe's neck. They looked rather deep.

“Is that what happened because I asked you for a loan?” Donald asked with a frown.

Rafe chuckled awkwardly and said, “Conflicts between husband and wife are perfectly normal.”

Donald stopped talking and stayed silent after that.
