"By the way, East World Hotel will have two new shareholders, each holding 20%
of our shares. They're the chief of police, Gabe Wholeton, and the director of the
prosecutors’ office, Derrick Crate. But you can rest assured that they won't get
involved in the business like me," Sean added.
Cheryl nodded again in understanding. Then Sean went upstairs with Zander.
The Harris family's auction had sent over the 30 medical books Sean had won.
They were now sitting in Sean and Zander's suite.
After returning to his room, Sean sat on the sofa and carefully read the 30
medical books.
These 30 medical books were indeed written by Dr. Humphrey as the texts were
filled with bits and pieces of Dr. Humphrey's extensive medical practice. Thirty
books were the true portrayal of Dr. Humphrey's medical career and the
concentration of his experience and knowledge.
Sean lost track of time as he read, and it was already 1 am. at some point.
"Time to rest, Commander," Zander came over and said.
"What time is it?" Sean asked.
"It's 1 am...” Zander replied helplessly.
It was only 10 pm, when they went upstairs, and Sean had been reading for more
than three hours, which left Zander speechless.
"What great books. Spending ten million to buy them is worth every penny!" Sean
patted the book in his hand and said with some excitement.
"Commander, all that matters is that you enjoy them.” Zander felt even more
speechless upon hearing that.
Sean got up from the couch and drank a glass of water before going to the
bathroom to shower and get ready to rest.
Sherman came to visit the next morning.
He came over with a suitcase containing five million in cash.
Sean asked Cheryl to bring over a copy machine and make copies while chatting
with Sherman.
"Why is the Yale family interested in these 30 medical books?" Sean asked.
None of the guests at yesterday's auction, including two other wealthy families,
were interested in Dr. Humphrey's medical books, but Sherleen was interested in
the 30 medical books.
Sean competed with her, and she got so upset that she even yelled at Sean,
which could not help but make Sean find it strange.
"To tell you the truth, my grandfather has been ill for a long time. We have gone
to many doctors, but they couldn't cure him. My eldest brother, Clinton Yale, has
a Ph.D. in medicine. He came back from studying abroad some time ago. He
also diagnosed my grandfather, but he can only treat the symptoms but not the
root cause..."
"Therefore, my brother asked my mother and me to collect medical books from
all over the country to research and find a cure for my grandfather's illness.
That's why my mother tried to bid on Dr. Humphrey's medical books yesterday
and was so hostile to you."
"I see..." Sean nodded.
"I'm sorry for my mother's behavior yesterday,” Sherman said with a bitter smile.
"It's okay. It's okay. I understand..." Sean waved his hand with a smile.
Each of the 30 medical books had hundreds of pages. Only about two-thirds of
them were photocopied now.
Then Sherman asked, "Mr. Lennon, I wonder what you used to do."
"l was in the army," Sean replied briefly.
"Oh, I see...” Sherman nodded and asked, "Mr. Lennon, so why are you
interested in these 30 medical books?"
