By six o'clock in the evening, Maggie had arrived at Alex's residence, ready to drive him personally to the airport. When she saw Alex approaching the car, she greeted him with a raise of her hand, saying apologetically, "Mr. Jefferson, this is terribly inconvenient for you, isn't it? You have to accompany me to Lumenopolis too..."

Alex smiled pleasantly as he waved that away. "Ah, Ms. Grant, there's no need to be so polite."

As he finished speaking, he noticed a 'gorgeous bracelet on her wrist. Curiously, he asked, "Is this the bracelet you misplaced the other day? It's quite a pretty bracelet."

Maggie nodded her head vigorously. "Thank you, my mum left this for me in her will. I treasure this as much as I do my life! Had it not been for you, Mr. Jefferson, I have no idea if I could ever replace it again. It might have been lost forever!"

Alex smiled, not interested in taking credit. "I believe you and the bracelet aren't fated to part just yet. Who knows, you might have found it yourself soon enough even if I didn't interfere."

Knowing Alex was just being humble, she quickly added, "Oh, Mr. Jefferson, you are the most amazing man I know! For a man as gifted as you to be so humble...this had to be unheard of!" She gushed. Alex waved a hand lazily to cut her brown-nosing off. "Oh, enough of us praising each other. Let's get into the car, shall we?" He stepped into Maggie's car after saying that.

Maggie grinned, following after him. Who would ever know Mr. Jefferson can be this easy-going.

Maggie drove them straight to the airport, where her small plane, not a helicopter, was parked in the airport.

"The route I applied for is half an hour later. So, why don't we grab a cup of coffee as we wait?" Maggie suggested as they walked into the airport.

"Sure." Alex nodded agreeably. Half an hour will be over in a flash. And anyway, since I am going to Lumenopolis to help them out, I don't mind dawdling my time away a bit.

Entering Maggie's private plane, he admired its beautiful interior. Besides a few rooms assigned for bodyguards, there were several areas designated for air hostesses and an office. The whole interior was exquisitely decorated.

Alex reclined against a comfortable armchair as Maggie personally poured him a cup of coffee. The two of them passed the time quickly as they chatted amicably over coffee.

The flight from Nebula City to Lumenopolis was approximately three hours long. By the time they arrived at the Grant family's residence, it was already 11 p.m.

The mansion was a structure of oriental architecture, its exterior was grand and stately. Most impressive of all was its extensive gardens, the blossoming flowers depicting a picture of elegance and taste. Beyond the massive house, the reality of owning such expansive land in Lumenopolis was abundant proof of just how influential and powerful the Grant family really was.

Under Maggie's guide, Alex arrived at the Grant family's main courtyard. Just as he entered the front door, he noticed a nattily-dressed man guiding a regal-looking old man, with a young girl beside them, walking in their direction.

Chapter 410 Return To Lumenopolis

Sizing Alex up, the young man glanced toward Maggic and asked, "Maggie, who is this man?"

Maggie introduced them, gesturing, "This is Nebula City's most influential man, Mr. Jefferson, and this is my cousin Louis Grant."

"Nice to meet you," Alex greeted, offering a hand.

However, Louis didn't even acknowledge Alex at all, let alone shaking his hand. "Mr. Jefferson?" he questioned skeptically.

Louis then glowered at Maggie, his gaze filled with contempt. "Maggie, how could you hire such a young doctor to treat grandpa? Don't you think you are being rather childish?"

Alex didn't feel awkward despite being caught in such a situation. He just retrieved his hand.

When they were on the plane, Maggie had told him that their grandfather's condition had worsened and the odds of him dying were alarmingly high.

In this tense situation, the issue of dividing the family fortune was the most important thing on the Grant family members' minds.

In the past, their grandfather had decided to name Maggie as the head of the Grant family. However, many in the family were against the idea and would never allow his dying wish to be fulfilled.

And so, the way the Grant family members were treating their grandfather now was really something to mull over.
