Chapter 248 I'm Here to Give a Gift
Dillon let out a grunt of surprise and uncertainty.
"Lachlan?" he asked.
"Yes, it's me! Mr. Hodge, you said that if I have any more Nourishing Essence Pills to sell, I could contact you anytime," Lachlan said.
Hearing this, Dillon hesitated for a moment before dismissing him with a wave of his hand. "Not tonight! I'm busy tonight. Maybe another day. But be prepared to pay top dollar!" he said before hanging up the phone!
At that moment, Quinn next to him asked, "Son, who was that?"
Dillon's eyes flickered with suspicion as he replied, "This guy is Allison's old classmate..."
He went on to explain what had happened previously.
After finishing his story, Dillon snorted in disgust and exclaimed, "This guy never sells early or late but just happens to come looking for me tonight? Something seems fishy here! I'm not dealing with him!" Quinn nodded in agreement and added, "Allison's old classmate? Hmph."
Then he turned towards Dillon with an approving look on his face and said, "Son, you did the right thing! It does seem suspicious so be careful and we'll talk about it after tonight."
Meanwhile Lachlan looked at the disconnected phone call with coldness in his heart!
