Chapter 1272 “Thank you.” John stepped toward the elevator after briskly thanking the receptionist.
Peter and a crew of bodyguards immediately followed after him.
The elevator door opened and John went inside. It took him to the sixth floor.
Meanwhile , inside a medical ward located on the second floor of the building
where Sherry was having her postpartum checkup. The doctors had just finished up and she was prepa
ring to leave when a young nurse ran into the ward.
She was here to gossip. “I heard them mentioning that there was this man that
looked like a supermodel
who had just come here. He had a whole group of men with him and mentioned something about comi
ng here to pick up his wife who had a bit of a fallout with him. He‘s super handsome and charismatic. T
hey said that he threw a ten million dollar check on the receptionist‘s table!
“Oh my god, you‘re kidding!”
A group of young nurses flocked together to gossip about the mysterious man.
Even the medical staff and some of the other patients present in the ward joined in on the gossip.
“What does he look like? Like a celebrity on TV?”
“Yeah! Isabelle at the front desk said that she had never seen such a handsome man in her entire life.
He was wearing a white shirt and a pair of slim–fit trousers. He also had a pair of striking gold–
framed glasses on. His skin is fair like an angel‘s and his features look like something straight out of a p
ainting. She said that he was nothing like anything she had ever seen before.”
“Wow, where is he? I want to see him!”
“I want to see him as well!”
“I think he went to the sixth floor. Let‘s go to the lobby. He should be heading back down any moment n
ow.”
“Sure, sure.”
With that, they all rushed outside in a hurry. Sherry hid behind the door, visibly shaking and
had turned pale. White shirt, black trousers, and gold–
framed glasses, and a mysterious man who had a group of followers tailing him everywhere he went.
Who else could it be apart from John?!
Ding: The elevator stopped on the sixth floor.
The doors opened swiftly, and they were greeted by a bright corridor.
The man leading the charge straightened his collar and took a large step forward as he was smiling.
Room 606 was just down the corridor on the right side.
He arrived at the entrance in just several strides and stopped in front of the door.
Peter immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door several times.
Shortly after, they heard footsteps coming from inside.
John could feel his hands
trembling with excitement. He fixed his gaze intently on the door that was slowly being nudged open.
Creak.
The door was opened from the inside and the person that
greeted them was a young man dressed casually.
John squinted.
“Master Stockton?” Ben cried out, the surprise in his voice was impossible to miss. His immediate thoug
after that was to close the door and bar the
unexpected visitors from entering. Peter lunged forward and threw the
door open. Several bodyguards charged into the room and dissuaded any further resistance from Ben.
Ben turned pale and retreated a step back.
John smiled stoically and stepped into the room as if he owned the place. The room was basked in sunl
Ben stared at him warily and remained silent.
Right at that moment, the door to the bathroom opened, and out came Aunt Wanda with Caprice who ha

sentence when she noticed the unexpected group of men flanking her on all sides. They cast a predator

Aunt Wanda retreated warily.
She only managed to retreat several steps
backward when the bodyguards stepped forward and stopped her. There was nowhere to run.
Aunt Wanda held the child protectively and asked sharply, “Who are you people? What do you want?”
