Chapter 563: Setting Up Reginald
Julian sighed again, "I think this Dr. Simpson is a fraud. He's incompetent. We need to find another doctor."
Julian and Stella both looked exhausted, their expressions revealing their true feelings. Reginald tried to comfort them, "Don't worry. If this attempt failed, we'll find another doctor. Mom doesn't know yet, does she?" "Not yet," Julian sighed again, "Grandma Sterling is worried about Terry. If we tell her the surgery failed, it would break her heart. Let's keep it from her for now."
Reginald had no intention of sparing Grandma Sterling any pain. In his eyes, the Sterling family's current success was built on the sacrifices of his own parents, orchestrated by Grandma Sterling.
Making the Sterling family suffer and fall apart was his ultimate goal.
With Terrence now blind in one eye, the next target was Grandma Sterling's favorite son, Julian. Reginald wanted Grandma Sterling to watch the Sterling family slowly wither away; that would be the most satisfying revenge. Stella, drained and weary, said, "I'm going to rest in my room."
Julian replied, "Alright, you go rest. It's been a tiring day."
As Stella went upstairs, Julian sat on the living room sofa and asked Reginald, "Where did you go today?"
Reginald replied, "I was busy with some business matters. Julian, you look tired too; you should rest."
Julian, feeling downcast, suddenly remembered something and perked up. "Oh no! I almost forgot! Reginald, I arranged a meeting for you with Aubrey! She's thirty-seven and has never been married because she was too focused on her career."
"Julian, I don't need-" Reginald began to protest, but Julian's phone rang. It was Aubrey.
"Julian Sterling! It's almost eight o'clock. Why aren't you here yet? We agreed on seven-thirty," Aubrey said.
"We're on our way; there was some traffic," Julian quickly made an excuse.
He hung up and immediately dragged Reginald out the door. "Let's go; Aubrey is already there."
Reginald found himself being pulled along by Julian to a blind date.
The founder of Celestial Alliance was being dragged to a blind date by Julian.

At the restaurant, Julian waved at a curly-haired woman by the window. "Aubrey, we're here!"
"Reginald, hurry up," Julian urged enthusiastically.
Reginald moved slowly and reluctantly as Julian pulled him over to Aubrey. "This is my brother Reginald. He's fifty-two."
Reginald had a refined appearance in his coat, with a string of prayer beads in hand. He didn't look that old.
Aubrey was immediately attracted to his looks but hesitated when she considered his age.
"Please sit," Aubrey said politely before asking, "So Reginald, what do you do for work? Julian Sterling never mentioned having a brother."
Julian wouldn't reveal that Reginald had run away from home; that would leave a bad impression.
"He's been busy with business abroad and rarely comes back," Julian explained as he pulled Reginald into a seat. "Reginald, tell her about your business and income."

Reginald glanced at Aubrey and said, "I'm in the wine business abroad. Business hasn't been good these past few years; I've incurred losses."
Hearing this, Aubrey's interest waned slightly-an older man without stable income wasn't appealing.
Sensing trouble, Julian signaled to Reginald under the table to speak more positively.
Aubrey asked again, "Have you ever had a girlfriend or been married?"
Julian was about to answer when Reginald said, "No. Too busy to find someone and not interested either."
Julian was speechless.
Aubrey looked displeased and turned to Julian. "Julian, are you sure there's nothing wrong with your brother? At his age without any experience with women-could he have issues?"
Aubrey spoke bluntly at nearly forty years old; she wasn't some delicate young girl. At her age, finding a partner meant considering all aspects carefully.
Julian was about to assure her there were no issues but then realized there might actually be a problem with his brother. He turned and quietly asked Reginald, "Reginald, do you have any issues in that area?"
