Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 1765

Demetra was indeed a powerful force, and Wilbur felt that he would not have been able to defeat him had it not been for the Light of Dragon.

The power of destruction was far too powerful, one that anyone would fear.

Wilbur could not help but feel worried for Demetra. After all, Greensource Corp was extremely powerful, and Demetra might not be able to escape his punishment.

Upon second thought, Wilbur realized that this was what Demetra had chosen for himself. Demetra had joined Greensource Corp and should have known that this might happen.

At around ten in the morning, Tina received a call from Madam Marie. After a brief chat, Tina came up to the attic and handed the phone to Wilbur.

"Hello, Madam Marie. Is anything the matter?"

Marie sounded like she was on the verge of tears. "My father's gotten worse, Mister Penn. he's finished the medicine we bought for him, and it's only gone up in price. The doctors said he needs to be operated on next week, or his life will be in danger… but the surgery is so, so expensive. The Jonan family's on a downward spiral, and I don't have any more money to sustain these costly fees, so I thought of you, Mister Penn, and was wondering if you could help me out here. My father's left behind a rather sizable collection of antiques, and I hope you'd be interested to take a look at them here."

"Oh, alright. I'll think about it."

"Could you come this afternoon? I can't exactly afford to wait any longer."

"Alright, then. I'll come and see you at Pilsey with Tina in the afternoon, and we can talk then."

"Thank you, Mister Penn. God bless you." Marie sobbed as she hung up the call.

Madam Marie was already waiting for Wilbur and Tina at the door with her butler Harold in tow when they arrived. She gave Wilbur a big hug, tearfully inviting the two of them inside.

The Jonan Manor was extremely big, and Marie revealed that it had been purchased by her grandfather, Garcia Jonan, and then passed down through the generations.

"My grandfather was a collector, just like my father. He loved collecting antiques all around the world. In fact, I'm pretty sure that my father got into antiques because of my grandfather."

Wilbur knew that Marie would appreciate it if they got to the point as soon as possible, as the money was desperately needed to save her father.

"Well then, Madam Marie. Could I ask how many antiques you have here at home, and how much you'd be willing to let them go for?"
