Chapter 17
“Father, “Jasmine walked out of the room, and Alfred hastly rushed to her side. “Minnie, you are still unwell,
rest first.”
“It’s okay, Father,” Jasmine smiled. “I’ve never felt so energetic like this before.”
“Minnie,” Alfred felt truly joyful. “Come, let’s say thanks to your doctor.”
Jasmine stepped forward, blushing shyly. “Thank you for healing me.”
“You’re welcome.”
Albert took out two sets of keys and respectfully handed them to Alex.
One set was the key to the limited edition of the newest Sport car Bugatti La Voiture Noire, which was worth $ 20 million.
The other set was the key to the mansion, which was worth $ 500 million.
Alex had rejected them once, but now Albert thought it was the right time.
This is a small token of thanks. I know it’s nothing much to you, but please accept it. I hope you don’t find it Jacking”
Jessica and Charles were once again stunned by the scene.
The amount was far beyond the usual consultation f*e.
And Albert was showing an excessive level of respect towards the young man.
It was almost as if a servant trying to please his master.
This only made them feel more unreal and anxious,
“Alright, if you insist.”
Alex didn’t reject a second time.
An extra car wasn’t a big deal.
And the house could serve as a backup..
Albert felt relieved.
As if to avoid any second thoughts on Alex’s part, Alfred quickly changed the subject.
“Minnie, don’t you have something to say to Mr. Alex?”
“Yes,” Jasmine said, handing Alex three gold–colored invitation cards.
“Mr. Alex, tomorrow evening, I’m hosting a charity banquet to raise funds for local orphans and to celebrate my recovery.” 1
Alex glanced at the invitation cards.
He wasn’t interested in participating.
But just as he was about to decline, Jasmine continued.
“Previously, my father had to cancel a banquet that was supposed to select companies to join Kingston Enterprise.

I will be using this banquet to help my father make that decision too. I would be honored If you could attend.”
Alex recalled how Sophia had desperately wanted her family business to be part of the Kingston Group.
Giving her and her family one of these invitations might help them secure a spot.
“If I have time, I’ll attend,” Alex replied.
Jasmine’s face lit up with joy. “Thank you so much!”
Just as Alex turned to leave, Dr. Jenkin Iturried over and fell to his knees in front of him, shocking everyone.
“Mr. Alex,” Dr. Jenkin said, his voice filled with remorse.
“Please forgive me for my ignorance in underestimating your skills. I should have known better.”
He bowed his head to the floor.
“Not a big deal.” Alex said calmly.
Dr Jenkin wasn’t entirely useless.
And since he had recognized his mistakes, Alex didn’t want to dwell on it.
“Sir, could you please teach me your incredible medical skills? I’m willing to pay any price.”
Dr. Jenkin immediately bowed even lower and pleaded with joy. Y
“Or could I at least become your apprentice? I’m ready to serve you in any way you see fit. I’ll obey every one of your commands.”
It looked as if he would have cried out excitedly the moment Alex said ‘yes‘.
Charles’s eyes widened in disbelief,
Dr. Jenkin was a renowned figure, often featured in the media.
Even the wealthy had to wait months just to secure an appointment with him.
Yet here he was, kneeling before this young man, showing him the utmost respect.
Charles’s anger simmered.
He didn’t understand why everyone was now treating Alex with so much respect.
And futher to Charles’s surprise, Alex shook his head and refuse.
“I don’t have time for that.”
And with a light tap of Alex’s foot, Dr. Jenkin found himself lifted from his kneeling position to a standing one. “That’s so kind of you, Sir,” Dr. Jenkin said, bowing deeply again, “If you ever find the time, could I visit you?” Knowing that Dr. Jenkin would persist if he kept refusing, Alex impatiently replied, “Whatever you like.” His tone was noncommittal, neither accepting nor rejecting the request.
“Thank you so much!” Dr. Jenkin exclaimed, bowing repeatedly, his excitement almost childlike.
Charles was left in a state of shock.
“Mr. Alex, may I invite you for a homemade dinner?” Alfred offered.

He knew the chance was thin, but he couldn’t help but ask eagerly.
“Next time!
And as he had expected, Alex declined right away.
“Then may I drive you to your mansion?” Alfred offered, eager to be of service.
“Take me to the best local jewelry store first.”
This time, Alex requested after a few thoughts.
“I know the best one in Vancouver. This way please.”
Alfred replied, leading Alex to the most luxurious limousine available.
He hurriedly instructed the driver to head to Elegance & Co, the most renowned jewelry store in the city.
Meanwhile, Sophia, Lyra, and Chris had just exited the club and were walking towards the parking lot near the main road.
