Chapter 1331
Actually, Dr. Lester was already touched by Ben’s words, “You gotta stick like glue to Marc tomorrow. Don’t let him
catch a chill. If he gets a cold, his body won’t stand a chance against the virus, then who knows what will happen.”
Ben said, “I’ll get the job done, you can count on me.”
Dr. Lester gave him a stink eye, “You have the nerve to tell me to relax? Just a few days ago when he went to see
Cornelia, you said you’d look after him, and how did that turn out?”
Ben explained, “President Hartley hung out in Cornelia’s room for quite a while that night, and didn’t let me tag
along. I was stuck waiting outside. I had no idea he’d stay that long, if it wasn’t for the break of dawn and Cornelia
nearly waking up, he might not have left.”
Dr. Lester wanted to whack him with a broomstick, “You say you had no choice? Didn’t I ask you to stick with him to

Ben said, “I’ll be on his tail like a shadow tomorrow. Won’t let him screw up.”
Dr. Lester said, “Forget it, I’ll tail him myself tomorrow.”
Ben said, “Dr. Lester, you’ve been working your butt off lately. You should stay home and rest. I’ll handle the
situation, no need for you to worry anymore.”
Dr. Lester said, “Do you think I enjoy worrying? It’s all because of you incompetents. Especially Ayden, with his big
team, they’ve been working their tails off and still couldn’t crack the Duran family’s security system. Otherwise
Marc wouldn’t have to go out in the freezing weather.”
Ben said, “That’s the Durans, not just any other family.”
Dr. Lester said, “If it was just any ordinary family, Marc could come and go as he pleases. Ben, you’ve been getting
careless lately, gotta focus more.”
Dr. Lester had been a real chatterbox lately; once he started, he could go on for an hour. It was really annoying.

Ben didn’t want to be irritated by his nagging, “Dr. Lester, President Hartley’s IV is finished. You should go check on
him.”
Dr. Lester corrected him, “Marcus is dead, and his identity has been deleted. His name is now Jeremy Artis. That’s
his only identity. Don’t call him President Hartley anymore, or he will get mad at you.”
Ben slapped himself, “My bad. I’ll remember that.”
Dr. Lester looked at Ben, “You’re about the same age as Marc, right?”
Ben said, “Yes.”
Dr. Lester sighed, “I don’t know if he’ll ever have your energy.”
Ben said, “He will. He definitely will.”

He didn’t know. All he could do was give it his all.
It was all up to fate now.
When Christmas was over, Grandpa Augustine took Cornelia around for visits again.
After a busy day, Cornelia was almost too tired to move, but she received quite a few gifts. Once home, Cornelia
started to tally up her gifts. There weren’t many, but each was very expensive. She couldn’t sort them all by
herself, so she roped in Grandpa Augustine to help her. When Cornelia finished sorting out the gifts, she was
astonished. The value of the gifts she received in just one day exceeded $100,000. This once again made her feel
the unfairness of the world. In the past, when she hadn’t entered this class, she had to toil day and night for a long
time to earn $100,000. But now, all she had to do was follow Grandpa Augustine, give people blessings, and she
could earn $100,000 in a day.
This was the reality of the wealth gap.
