Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 880

Zedeck hurried to say, "No, no, none of that! You're old friends with Mister Grayson. I should be showing you respect instead."

It was clear that Zedeck already knew who Wilbur was.

Wilbur did not know whether to laugh or cry.

It was a little ridiculous that this higher-up was saying he should treat him with respect.

Wilbur could also tell that this was definitely no ordinary dinner.

There was no way Benjamin would just invite Wilbur all the way over to introduce him to Zedeck.

Just then, Susie poured everyone a glass and Benjamin raised his. "Let's have a little drink before anything."

The crowd followed, draining their glasses.

Just then, Wilbur said, "Come on, Mister Grayson. Just say what it is you have to say. There isn't a need to beat around the bush with me."

"You know me best, young man," Benjamin chuckled. "Well, Zedeck here has run into a little trouble that he would like your help with."

Wilbur cursed internally.

What could a province chief need his help with? There was no way this would be a small matter.

Well, there was no saying no now that he had come all this way. "Tell me what's wrong, brother Zedeck, and I'll do what I can."

The term 'brother' was considered a show of respect.

After all, Wilbur and Benjamin were close friends and Zedeck was a pupil of Benjamin's.

Zedeck sighed. "Something strange has been happening in South Market lately. I've reached my wits' end for me to be asking Mister Grayson for help here, and he recommended you."

"What is it?" Wilbur frowned.

"We've had several rich men who live in South Market disappearing in a row. All of their net worth is in the billions. The police have been on the case since the first disappearance, but nothing's been found. You know how much pressure a missing persons case like this would put on us. I really have no choice but to come to Mister Grayson."

Wilbur nodded sympathetically.

Susie hurried to get up. "Let me have a look."

She opened the door and said at once, "Dude, why do you look like that?"

"Someone attacked me, Susie!" a voice said.

Orin and Zedeck exchanged glances.

Who had the nerve to attack Benjamin's relative? They must be out of their mind.

"Who did that? Why? How dare they!" Susie shouted.

"I don't know him, but he said he was gonna bust my brains out! You've gotta help me out here, Susie," the same man's voice said pitifully.

Orin and Zedeck promptly shut up, knowing it was best they stayed out of something like this.

Just then, however, Wilbur let out a cough. "Ahem. I was the attacker."
