Chapter 2042


    Omas came to report to Rose in the evening. He was so efficient that he had gotten all the information


    Rose wanted so far.


    Michael, the patriarch of the Carver family, was important in Ocean City’s pharmaceutical industry. He


    owned about half of Ocean City’s medicine manufacturing and pharmacy, and his family was wealthy.


    In contrast, Alexander’s family had an ancestor who was a famous doctor, but no one in the recent


    generations measured up to that standard.


    Alexander was a quack to Jordan, not to mention Alexander’s son, Mitchell. However, Mitchell was


    close to Michael’s granddaughter, Eleanor. It was rumored that they were about to get engaged soon.


    Rose also figured out why Alexander was acting the way he did today.


    He was afraid that his engagement would be called off due to an external force like Jordan, and any

    mistake might create irreparable consequences.


    Michael Carver only had two sons. The eldest son devoted himself to building up the Carver family’s


    fortune and never married. However, he died in an ident.


    The second son was unconcerned about the family business. He got an easy job and cked off.


    However, he did have a daughter, Eleanor.


    Having only one granddaughter, Michael naturally cared deeply for Eleanor. Therefore, if one married


    Eleanor, they would get at least half of the Carver family’s fortune.


    Connecting this information, it was unsurprising that Alexander and Mitchell were so hostile to Paul.


    Rose pondered when he heard this. He did not expect to get acquainted with someone powerful. It was


    a good thing.


    He could use Michael as his first pawn against the Lake family and slowly pave the way.


    Omas also got Rose some information about Curtis.


    The Lake family was involved in real estate, business, pharmaceuticals, services, tourism, and so on.


    Besides that, Curtis was powerful in Ocean City. No one dared to oppose the Lake family.


    Such a strong enemy was tricky to deal with. However, it was also quite exciting.


    Rose slowly developed a n that used the Carver family as a starting point and would nibble away at


    the Lake family. He was pretty happy with today’s intel.


    After telling Omas to leave and rest, Rose got a good night’s sleep.


    Over the next few days, after giving the Old Master Carver two more special needle treatment


    sessions, Rose ordered Omas to escort Willow back to his home. After all, Ocean City was rainy, hot,


    and humid. Willow could not adapt to the environment here, and Rose did not want her to get into


    unnecessary trouble.


    ***


    Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.


    After Rose gave Michael thest special needle treatment session, he followed Michael and the rest to


    the hospital.


    After a general check-up, Michael walked so fast it was as if his body was full of energy.


    ording to the test report, Michael’s illness had healed. However, his body was still in the recovery


    stage. After aplete recovery, he would only be more energetic.


    Holding the inspection report in his left hand, Michael held Rose’s hand tightly with the other.
