Chapter 1988
"A young man?"
Geon lowered his wine glass, appearing thoughtful.
He did not know that many young men and this was a delicate time to ask to meet him.
Moreover, his daily schedule was always kept a secret, and a sudden visit was really fishy.
"Turn him down."
On the other hand, Carlo was already on his feet, snapping at the waiter as he saw the awkward look on Geon's face. "Don't you see that the commissioner is busy? Do you really think that this is the time for guests?! It doesn't matter who he is tell him to leave!"
The waiter made an awkward face. "But, Mr. Barzini... The young man said that he's your son."
"My son? You mean, Fredo?"
Carlo was left doing a double take-he did not invite his son to this party, since he should be busy sabotaging Zamri Hospital with Podrick... "Oh, right!"
Nheless, Carlo's eyes lit up as he smiled-the brat finally did well for once!
The boy must have known that the commissioner would be here and quickly finished taking over Zamri Hospital to come here to give him the good news.
"Mr. Commissioner."
Realizing that, Carlo turned toward Geon and smiled. "The young man must be my son Fredo. He must have finished his work at Zamri Hospital, so why don't we let him in to personally report his success?"
"Hahaha..."

Geon could already tell why Fredo was here when the waiter announced that it was him, and he laughed in delight when Carlo told him exactly what he had in mind. "Very well. Show him in."
Carlo nodded. "Go on, waiter. Fetch an extra chair for Fredo. He's the man of the hour!"
"Yes, Mr. Barzini."
The waiter promptly did as told before stepping out of the room to usher Fredo inside.
When Fredo quietly entered, Carlo smiled in satisfaction when he saw that it was really him.
Geon even held a thumbs-up
beneath the table, while the other rich and important figures of Zamri were all ready to heap praise, rious flattery already at the tip of their tongue.
However, even before they could get started, they realized something strange.
There was no mistaking it-it was Fredo who entered, but the boy was clearly pale, even terrified. "Huh?"
Even before anyone understood what was going on, another figure quietly entered.
"Hehehe..."
He chuckled as he stepped past
Fredo and paused as he spread his arms at everyone around the table. "Fancy running into everyone here especially you, Mr.
Commissioner-you're a really hard man to reach, and you've never responded to my invitations before. Well, at least I finally get to meet you in person now."
Naturally, the man with Fredo was none other than Frank.
Geon's face fell at the sight of Frank, and beside him, Carlo looked like he was forced to eat dung.
This party was intended to welcome Carlo Group's expansion into Zamri, and their first goal in that plan was to take over Zamri Hospital.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
It was therefore certainly strange for the real owner of Zamri Hospital to show up here!
