After lunch, Zeke made arrangements to send a truckload of daffodils to Charlie’s house.The daffodils he sent were all high-quality grades that were very lush and green, and none of them were flowering as per Charlie’s request.Daffodils looked very similar to chives especially when they were not blooming. People in the city could not distinguish plants very clearly. Also, most people who ate chives had only seen chives sold in the market that were tied in a bundle, but they had never seen chives growing in the ground, so they were unable to differentiate chives and daffodils in plain sight and would often get confused by the similarities.Chive was a vegetable fancied by many people. It was an indispensable amazing ingredient when it came to stir-frying, soup, making pies, or dumplings. However, daffodils were not edible.Why? Because daffodils contained narcissus.Narcissus was a toxic alkaloid.When Elaine told Charlie that Lady Wilson liked to eat chives, he immediately

Hannah hurriedly asked in a honeyed tone, “Mom, why do you need eggs and flour?”Lady Wilson answered, “I want to make eggs and chives dumplings for dinner!”Harold shrieked in surprise, “Grandma, are we having dumplings tonight?”“Yes!” Lady Wilson uttered, smiling ear to ear, “Do you like chives and eggs?”Harold giggled. “Of course! Oh, I love it so much! I haven’t eaten eggs and chives dumplings for a long time! I’m starting to drool when you say it!”Christopher also smiled and said, “Mom, why do you want to eat eggs and chives dumplings suddenly? You haven’t made dumplings for a long time.”Lady Wilson laughed and said, “I’m happy today! So happy that I could fill myself with eggs and chives dumplings!”“Wonderful!” Christopher huffed with a sigh, “I haven’t had dumplings for a long time, I can finally satisfy my cravings today!”Hannah asked, “Mom, other than eggs and flour, do I need to buy some chives?”Lady Wilson grinned triumphantly, “Charlie bought a lot of fresh

Elaine was so angry right then that she almost exploded out of rage.She had just warned Charlie to beware of the old lady in the morning, but instead of taking her warning seriously, he had bought so many fresh chives home!Great, now they were like a charity center to the old lady and her family!If it was in the past, she would have scolded Charlie already, but she didn’t have the courage to do so now.At this moment, Claire asked Charlie in the room, “Dear, what do you want to have for dinner?”Charlie smiled coyly and asked, “You don’t usually care about these things, what’s with the change of attitude? Why do you want to know what I want to eat tonight?”Claire pasted on a childlike smile and said, “I want to go pick some vegetables in the garden. Tell me what you want to eat, I’ll go pick them in the garden. What do you think? Does it sound like a good idea?”Charlie nodded and said with a warm smile, “Let’s go together then, just like what we did this morning.”Claire’s

Christopher whined sheepishly, “Okay, okay, you’re right, Mom. I’ll listen to you, okay?”Lady Wilson glared at him and urged, “Put a little more effort, mince the meat finely and make it tender!”“Yes, Ma’am…” Christopher answered dryly.By evening, the minced meat was done, the eggs were fried, and a large basket of ‘chives’ was washed. All of the ingredients were placed on the cutting board.Lady Wilson made the dumpling fillings herself. First, she mixed the fried eggs and chives with the seasoning for the eggs and chives dumpling. Then, she mixed another bowl of fillings with pork and chives.The rest of the Wilson family started to drool as they watched Lady Wilson make the dumpling fillings. After all, they had been through all kinds of turbulences and misfortunes recently. It was a rare opportunity for them to have such hearty and warm homemade dumplings.After mixing the fillings, Lady Wilson personally taught everyone how to wrap the dumplings. Honestly speaking, their

The Wilson family prepared two kinds of stuffed dumplings, and they made a lot of them. Based on the number of dumplings they had made, it was enough to feed ten adults, but the Wilson family almost managed to finish all the dumplings.They were so full after the meal that they couldn’t even sit up straight.Staring at the 20 to 30 dumplings left on the table, Lady Wilson prompted them while gesturing, “Hey, any of you, hurry and finish all the dumplings. Don’t waste it!”Caressing his round belly, Christopher whined helplessly, “Oh God, I can’t eat anymore, not even one.”Hannah shook her head too and said, “Mom, I can’t eat anymore, I’m so full right now.”Wendy was so full she didn’t even have the strength to talk. Instead, she slumped on the sofa and waved her hand, indicating her refusal.Harold said, “Grandma, why don’t we keep them in the fridge? We can fry them up and make potstickers for breakfast tomorrow.”Suddenly, Lady Wilson donned a wicked smirk on her face. She s

Harold was in agonizing pain at this moment. “I don’t know what’s going on, my stomach hurts so bad…”At this point, Harold felt stronger energy starting to build up inside his body again, and it was several times more intense than the previous one, rushing downward at an extremely fast speed.Immediately afterward, a loud puff sounded, and a stronger stench instantly exhumed throughout the living room.Christopher reflexively looked under Harold’s buttocks and found that a brownish sticky fluid had leaked out. He shrieked loudly, “D*mn it, Harold, you just pooped your pants!”“What?!” Everyone turned toward Harold simultaneously.It was obvious!There was something disgusting leaking from Harold’s butt!Lady Wilson shouted angrily, “D*mn it, you b*stard, this sofa is imported from Italy!”Harold was equally dumbfounded. He blurted innocently, “I… I… I don’t know what happened! My stomach was hurting, and it hurt so bad, I wanted to fart, then…”Wendy asked in bewilderment, “H
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1115
At this moment, the Wilson family had no idea why their stomachs hurt so badly and what was the cause of the severe diarrhea that followed.The narcissus of daffodils was a very strong poison. A very small amount of purified narcissus could be fatal to humans.However, even though the content of the alkaloid in daffodils was relatively small, consuming it in a large volume would trigger significant symptoms of food poisoning, but it would not be life-threatening if the amount was not too much.Regardless, the pain from the food poisoning was definitely not something ordinary people could bear.It not only induced vomiting and diarrhea, but also fever, convulsions, and nervous system disorders.If it was eaten in an unusually large amount, it may even cause shock and death.It was indeed a bit dangerous as everyone in the Wilson family had consumed too much of narcissus. Even Charlie did not expect that they would eat so much when he was drafting his plan.It was often reported i

“Pork? Then you have to ask your mother where she bought it.”Lady Wilson frowned at Hannah and asked in a bitter voice, “Did you go to the black market and buy water-injected pork?”Hannah quickly shook her head. “No! I watched the butcher cut the meat from the pig with my own eyes, there’s absolutely no problem with the pork.”Wendy suggested weakly, “What about the flour? Could it be that something was wrong with the dumpling skin?”Hannah shook her head again. “No, the flour was fine, we ate it in the morning.”If the problem was neither the flour nor the pork, could it be the chives?Hannah gaped in surprise and said, “It must be the chives. Maybe there were pesticide residues on it.”Lady Wilson frowned in disapproval. “No, the chives were freshly cut, that can’t be the problem. Besides, Harold washed them, so he must have washed it all off including the pesticide residues.”Harold said, “Yes! I washed the chives very seriously, I scrubbed every piece of leaf carefully.”

Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d

Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu

Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe

Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p

Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e

"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
