NovelEnglishChapter 448 Coincidence
“Doctor, what a coincidence! I wasn't expecting to see you here,” came a familiar voice near Harold.
As Harold turned, he recognized the man who had spoken in his favor at Wilhelm's ward earlier. The
man was now approaching him with a woman by his side.
“What a coincidence, indeed. Thank you for helping me out earlier, mister,” Harold greeted and thanked
him as he stood up, pleasantly surprised.
What Harold did not know was that it was not a coincidence. Lothar had deliberately followed him to the
mall.
To make the encounter seem more like a coincidence, he even invited his wife on a shopping trip,
though he did not tell his wife about the true aim of his invitation.

anytime you encounter any trouble in Xenhall. I'm not trying to show off, but there isn't anything I,
Lothar Hightower, can't resolve in Xenhall.”
As Lothar spoke, he passed a gold foil-stamped card to Harold.
Harold glanced at the card after taking it.
On it was written: Lothar Hightower, Chairman of Hightower Pharmaceutical Group.
On the other hand, the woman beside Lothar became annoyed when she saw her husband giving his
business card and showing respect to someone wearing a hospital gown.
While she had to admit that her man was capable, she felt that he was too nice to others, especially to
people who showed meager traces of talent.
He did the same for someone else, and now, he was treating a young man with reverence again.
She felt that her man was not at all acting like the powerful figure he was.
In the meantime, Harold was feeling flustered by the way Lothar was calling him a doctor. Right as he
was about to say something, the woman beside Lothar uttered, “Hubby, there's a pretty dress over
there. Why don't we take a look at it?”
She was even tugging Lothar's clothes to urge him to leave.
“What's the hurry? Can't you see that I'm talking to Doctor?” Lothar angrily snapped at his wife at her
interruption.
“A doctor? What doctor? He's clearly one of the patients. You're the richest man in Xenhall, so can you
start acting like it? Why are you always seeking the company of 'improper' people? Why are you
always so polite with insignificant strangers while being so fierce toward your family members?” the
woman retaliated with equal fury when she heard Lothar's response.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Lothar heard his wife calling Harold an insignificant stranger, his expression darkened.
“Doctor, please carry on. I'll be shopping over there. Please remember to call me if anything pops up.”
Lothar said, pointing at the name card Harold was still holding onto as he quickly towed his wife away.
He was afraid that more harsh words would come out of her mouth and irk Harold.
Harold briefly studied the card Lothar handed him. Since Lothar himself was so polite, Harold replied
with the same level of courtesy, “Of course, Mr. Hightower. I'll look for you if anything occurs.”
And so, the two men went their separate ways.
Lothar was almost gone from Harold's line of sight, but he could still vaguely make out how Lothar was
telling his wife about respecting others.
Harold found Lothar to be a pleasant man and made a mental note of his face and phone number.
Not long after, Luna re-emerged from the men's wear store with a shopping bag.
“It must have been a long wait for you. Look at the belt I've chosen for you. I'll get you a pair of shoes
later too.”
