He can already help the interns at the hospital revise their papers.
In fact, he isn’t much older than those interns himself, yet he can be their teacher.

Jack stood up and said quietly, “Mr. Peter has known Mr. Goodman for years. They’re old friends. Typhoon Corp.’s partnership with Cloud Hospital, and even the Quinn Group, is all thanks to their personal relationship.”
Those were Caesar’s exact words before they left, and he had instructed Jack to relay them honestly to the rest of the family.
There was no need for idle gossip.
With Cloud Hospital and the Quinn Group backing them, the others had nothing left to say.
They exchanged glances and finally understood why Caesar was with Mario and how Mario had secured the position of vice president of Typhoon Corp so quickly.
With the Quinn Group behind him, it all made sense.
Once they were in the car, Chase finally let out a small sigh of relief.
I rarely did things like this, let alone stand tall in front of others. I was always afraid of making a mistake. When Melody had introduced me so formally to these people, I almost burst out laughing several times.
I’m just a doctor from Cloud Hospital. How can I suddenly become someone so important in the eyes of others?
Chase couldn’t quite understand.
The Vine was known to have the best Western food in Gennemont. During our honeymoon, Wendy had discovered my love for them. When we returned, she had casually mentioned it to Caesar.
And now, apparently, they remembered.
“Your family is something else. That uncle of yours seemed pretty influential; everyone listened to him,” Chase remarked, looking at Caesar.
Caesar looked down at his phone and said flatly, “Of course. Before I came back, he was the one running Typhoon Corp. I took over, and he was the first to show his discontent. Now he’s targeting Mario, trying to steal the vice president title from him.”
Even if I can’t control the whole company, I want to keep the vice presidency. Just in case… just in case something happened to me.
Over the years, I had faced countless dangers, always with Mario by my side. In comparison, my situation had more dangerous than Mario’s.
After all, the Harrison family had no idea where Mario was hiding or even what he looked like now,
Stumbling through the darkness, they will never be able to find him.
Outside The Vine, Wendy was talking to someone. They seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.
Chase sat quietly in the back seat and watched for a few seconds. From the man’s profile, he recognized him as a department store owner who worked with the Quinn Group.

Wendy chatted a little longer before the man’s associate arrived. He politely said goodbye and went inside.
Only then did they open the door and step out.
“So slow,” Wendy said with a mock pout, glancing at Chase. “I’ve been waiting for a long time.”
“Sorry, family drama took a while,” Mario replied first with a slight smile→→
The manager personally escorted them to a private room. After confirming everyone’s preferences, he went to the kitchen.
The room wasn’t large, but it was elegant. A large floor–to–ceiling window overlooked a bamboo grove and a quiet garden path where passersby occasionally strolled by.
It was early evening. The setting sun was hidden behind layers of clouds, casting a soft orange glow on the ground.
The window was one–way; those inside could see out, but those outside couldn’t see in.
“Was it that hard?” Wendy asked, noticing that Caesar still didn’t look happy. “If it’s too uncomfortable, I’ll talk to them myself.”
“No need,” Mario replied. “It’s just his uncle.”
“Hector Meyer? That person is quite the operator,” Wendy said.
I had helped Caesar reclaim Typhoon Corp., so I knew firsthand how difficult Hector was to deal with. Back then, it had taken considerable effort to get rid of him.
Hector’s tactics were one thing; his connections were another. For some reason, he had a powerful backer. Since I couldn’t reveal myself directly, I had fought him behind the scenes for almost half a year.
Eventually, the backer decided there was nothing left to gain by supporting Hector and stepped aside. With no one to back him, Hector finally lost
“Why else would he have lasted so long?” Caesar sneered, setting his phone face down on the table. “He gave his own daughter, my cousin, to this man.”
This so–called powerful backer was even older than Hector. Just to protect his position in Typhoon Corp., he had been willing to sacrifice his own daughter.
What a joke.
Power, position, money.
Put them together, and they cloud people’s minds. Very few could stay clear–headed after tasting such things,
Wendy turned to Chase. “Have you talked to Hector Meyer?”
