The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 206: Old Classmate_1

“How could that be? I was just curious and asked casually.”

“Really?”

Greg Jensen gave a somewhat guilty smile, “Of course it’s true.”

“Then fine, I forgive you.”

Vince Cooper smiled, leaned forward to give him a kiss, and then happily got out of the car.

“Women’s intuition, ah…”

Greg Jensen took a deep breath, smiled helplessly, and drove towards Dreamscape Garden.

Although construction couldn’t proceed at the moment, Kingsley Harrison and some newly recruited workers had still arrived early.

“Boss.”

Seeing Greg Jensen arrive, Kingsley Harrison and the others got up to greet him.

Greg Jensen looked at the quiet Dreamscape Garden and asked, “Haven’t the renovation company’s people come?”

Kingsley Harrison explained, “I’ve told them that as soon as we can work, I’ll give them a call.”

Greg Jensen said, “Call them now, let them hurry over and prepare to work.”

Kingsley Harrison was taken aback, surprised, “We’re already unsealed?”

“Hmm, should be soon.”

“So soon? They just made us close down yesterday, and they’re going to lift the ban today?”

Just then, Pearl Walker walked in with a few workers; seeing Greg Jensen there, her naturally fierce-looking face immediately filled with smiles.

“Mr. Jensen, hello, yesterday’s incident was a misunderstanding, please don’t take it to heart.”

“I shouldn’t take it to heart?”

Greg Jensen sneered, “I might not take it to heart, but what about the money I lost?”

“This…”

Pearl Walker gave an awkward smile, at a loss for what to say.

Greg Jensen looked around and then turned his head, his face full of mockery as he looked at Pearl Walker and coldly laughed:

“For every day that the renovation is delayed, the opening is delayed, and I earn less money for that day. It’s not too much to say I could make one hundred thousand a day from such a big garden, right?”

Pearl Walker said awkwardly, “It’s not too much, not at all; Dreamscape Garden is such a good business, it can definitely make a fortune every day.”

“Then tell me, who should compensate for my loss, should I ask you, or should I ask your health department?”

“This…”

“Stop beating around the bush, weren’t you quite arrogant when you sealed off my place?”

Greg Jensen’s face slowly turned cold as he glared at Pearl Walker, “I haven’t even opened for business yet, and you’re already trying to seal it off.

This bizarre situation, I’ve seriously never encountered before. Speak up, who’s going to compensate for my loss!”

“Mr. Jensen, please don’t get upset, just calm down. This matter… it was indeed my fault, I apologize to you,” Pearl Walker said, inwardly a bit panicked; she knew she was in the wrong. If things really escalated, she would definitely be the one to suffer.

The atmosphere in the office was so tense it seemed as if water could drip from it.

The employees of Dreamscape Garden, seeing their boss so uncompromising, were all shocked.

Kingsley Harrison kept making eyes at Greg Jensen, trying to get him to tone it down so as not to anger Pearl Walker and affect Dreamscape Garden’s operations.

However, Greg Jensen acted as if he hadn’t seen anything, still looking at her coldly, the almost tangible gaze causing Pearl Walker’s scalp to tingle.

After a long while, Greg Jensen spoke up, “Do you have anything else?”

“No… nothing else, I just came to bring you the notice of unsealing,” Pearl Walker said, trembling with fear.

Greg Jensen pointed to the door and said, “Get out!”

“Okay… okay.”

Pearl Walker, furious but not daring to let out a single word, took her subordinates and left dejectedly.

After stepping outside, she finally let out a sigh of relief, but her heart was still suffocating with frustration.

She’d been working for so many years; when had a business owner not treated her with the utmost respect? When had she ever been subjected to such treatment?

Just yesterday she had sealed off their property, and today not only did she have to unseal it, but she also endured a bellyful of anger.

“Damn Lena Holmes!”

Pearl Walker cursed angrily and drove away with her subordinates.

Inside the Dreamscape Garden office.

Kingsley Harrison finally recovered, his face covered in cold sweat, and said, “Boss, isn’t this gonna… cause trouble?”

After having had a go at Pearl Walker, Greg Jensen felt much better and chuckled, “I’m already being lenient by not troubling her. Would she dare cause trouble for me?”

“So… does that mean we can start work now?”

“Of course. Call the renovation company right now, speed up the work, and aim to open by the end of this month.”

Greg Jensen glanced at the several staff members and instructed, “Also, get moving on the training. If necessary, hire a protocol instructor. Don’t worry about the expense.”

“Understood, I got it,” replied Kingsley Harrison.

Greg Jensen nodded, checked the time, and realized it was almost noon. He hurriedly drove to the Burley residence.

That morning, Spencer Burley had called to say Louisa Burley invited Greg Jensen for lunch and wanted him to check on her health as well.

Greg Jensen had gotten up a bit late today and had almost forgotten about it after his altercation with Pearl Walker.

He drove to the Burley residence, but upon entering, he saw a familiar figure.

“Vivian Shimpson?”

“Greg Jensen? What are you doing here?”

Vivian Shimpson was Greg Jensen’s college classmate. She had once pursued him, but at the time, he only had eyes for Cindy Harrison.

As a result, Vivian Shimpson held a grudge against him. On campus, whenever they crossed paths, she only offered him cold glares and never spoke a word.

After Greg Jensen had his mishap, they never saw each other again.

Louisa Burley, observing their interaction, couldn’t help but feel surprised. “You two know each other?”

Greg Jensen smiled, “Yes, college classmates.”

“Haha, that’s great then,” Louisa Burley said with a laugh. “Vivian is the friend from abroad I mentioned to you before.”

“Well, that’s quite a coincidence,” responded Greg Jensen with a smile. “Vivian, long time no see.”

Vivian Shimpson didn’t respond but scrutinized Greg Jensen carefully before turning her head toward Louisa Burley, puzzled. “Louisa, is he the Divine Doctor you were talking about?”

“Yes, Big Brother Greg’s medical skills are really impressive,” Louisa Burley nodded.

Pfft!

Vivian Shimpson laughed as if hearing a hilarious joke. Pointing at Greg Jensen, she said, “What medical skills could he possibly have? We were college classmates for two years, and I never heard he knew anything about medicine. Plus, he got beat into a fool for fighting over another girl.”

She turned and sized Greg Jensen up with a sneer, “So, you’re cured now? Can’t make it in the village anymore, so you started swindling in the city?”

The smile on Greg Jensen’s face slowly faded, and his brows furrowed. He spoke calmly, “Vivian Shimpson, you should speak with some conscience.

Firstly, Cindy Harrison was my girlfriend initially. Ethan Locke stole her from me and left me with serious injuries, it’s not what you call ‘fighting over someone else’s girlfriend.’

Secondly, we were just ordinary classmates. I had no obligation to inform you about my medical expertise.

As for the accusations of swindling, that’s even less your concern. If you truly believe I’m a fraud, you’re free to call the police now.”

He knew Vivian Shimpson still held a grudge for his previous rejection of her advances, but that didn’t give her the right to slander him without cause, did it?

“You…”

Vivian Shimpson’s face immediately turned unsightly.
