The Return of Doctor Levin by Dane Lawrence Chapter 20

Chapter 20 What Should We Do 

“Do you 

still not have a clue, Alora? He’s the classic kind of vile character who pulls others down and can’t stand others doing well just because he’s a loser. You finally saw his true nature, so you dumped him. Surely, he’s going to stop at nothing to take revenge on you,” Tyson said with a wicked grin as he walked over. “Alora, you can’t show mercy to someone like him, not even for old times’ sake. If you give him a chance, you’re just digging your grave.” 

Alora locked her gaze on Ashton, hoping against hope that he would give her an explanation. However, she was disappointed. He just stared at her, unconcerned. His gaze held something indescribable. He seemed to be mocking her for being stupid. 

“Ashton, I’m disappointed in you! Whatever we had between us is now gone! We’re done!” Alora was utterly through with him, and she immediately walked away. 

“I won’t let you leave this gala in one piece, you son of a bitch!” Tyson threatened him. 

Ashton sat on the couch, watching them leave with an indifferent gaze. 

The love that he chose himself had withered entirely. There was nothing left for him in Edren County anymore. He would leave the place after he got that medicinal herb, gathered the other ingredients, and cured Aunt Theresa. 

‘The Levin family…,‘ Ashton sneered at that thought. 

He had been working hard for over a decade and laying his strategic plans all over South Edren for over five years. Being in the dark and having everything in his control made Ashton feel intoxicated. The moment was approaching when the time was right. 

Back then, he and his parents were mercilessly kicked out of the family. His parents used themselves as bait to save him, jeopardizing their lives. Ashton realized something at that precise moment. 

A truly powerful person could only rely on himself and his own power. In other words, he could only believe in himself and his almighty power. 

Love, family, and friends could turn on him one day and become a weapon against him. That principle had been proven time and time again by Ashton’s own experience. 

Just as Alora was about to leave the middle of the dance floor, Chloe suddenly came rushing to her from afar. “There you are, Miss Latham. I’ve finally found you.” 

“What’s the matter? Here, have a glass of water before you talk.” Alora handed her a glass of 

water. 

“There’s no time to drink. It’s terrible news. The Royal Sealift Group has rejected our proposal. They’ve rejected working with us,” Chloe said with a miserable face, breathing hard. 

The glass of water in Alora’s hand immediately fell to the ground. 

“What? Wasn’t it already confirmed? Why would they refuse to work with us now?” 

Chloe could not stop sighing. “You’re right. We’ve already made it to the top four, and I thought it was a done deal. I didn’t expect the proposal would be the one to be rejected. Maybe it was rigged?” 

“That’s impossible. I’ve worked on this proposal for more than three months. I’ve also seen the proposals from all the other business partners. They were either declining projects or high -risk investments with obvious shortcomings. Anybody with a brain in the Royal Sealift Group would know who to pick as their partner! I want to see the person in charge. This is unacceptable.” Alora was about to have a mental breakdown. 

She was excited to attend the gala because her goal was to broaden her social circle. In the end, all of her collaboration plans failed. Even if she added up all of her bad luck over the previous three years, it would not be as bad as what she went through that day. What went wrong?

“It’s useless, Miss Latham. The Royal Sealift Group generally won’t change whatever decision they’ve made. Also, the scale of our group at this moment is way too small for them. We’re not in the position to argue with them at all,” Chloe said. 

“The negotiation with the Wesleys failed, and the Royal Sealift Group has rejected our proposal. Have I come to this gala for nothing?” Alora suddenly grabbed Tyson. “Mister Cox, didn’t you say you know the people from the Royal Sealift Group? You can help me, right? Mister Cox, this is what you’ve promised me. You can’t just sit idly by.” 

Tyson was taken aback. “Calm down, Alora. I’ll call my father to ask for you.” 

He went to a corner with his phone. “Dad, can you help me contact the person in charge from the Royal Sealift Group, I-” 

“Fuck off! I’m in a meeting. Don’t create trouble for me!” His father immediately hung up the 

call. 

Tyson was stunned, wondering how a father could be so rude to his son. 

“What did he say, Mister Cox?” Alora’s heart was in her throat. 

“Huh? All is good. My father said he’ll help you make a call and ask about it.” 

“That’s wonderful!” Alora felt relieved. As a big shot in Durmund City who had been around. for a long time, the Cox family was not wealthy, but they had a say in Edren County. The Royal Sealift Group would entertain them out of respect. 

“Mister Levin.” Yenn, the secretary with a slender figure and big, black glasses, came to Ashton. “Miss Lockwood said you should decide about this matter. After all, Alora is your ex- wife.” 

Confused, Ashton accepted the document in his hand. After he went through it once, he got 

the gist of it. 

It was the proposal that Alora designed. She wanted to collaborate with the Royal Sealift 

Group, but Kendra mercilessly rejected her. After considering it, Kendra felt it was not right, so she left the ball in Ashton’s court. 

Ashton looked up and glanced at Alora, who was standing far away from him. At that moment, Tyson was holding her shoulders, carefully comforting her. Alora did not resist him either. She just kept wiping her tears as if she had been utterly wronged. 

“Mister Levin, what do you think we should do?” Yenn had a sweet smile on her face.
