Charlie, who was incredibly powerful, turned out to be a vagrant who had no career?Just when she was about to continue asking Charlie for more information, the referee stepped into the ring before he said, “The second round will begin after a thirty-second countdown!”Charlie said to Nanako, “You should concentrate on your match. I will leave first.”“Mr. Wade, are you going to leave already?”Nanako suddenly felt a sense of loss.Charlie replied at this time, “Oh, by the way, my bet with Yamamoto Kazuki is already over. He can feel free to leave Aurous Hill after he is discharged from the hospital.”After that, Charlie did not stay at the scene any longer. He simply turned around and left without even looking back.Nanako felt a little despondent as she stared at him. At this time, Hiroshi hurriedly urged her, “Miss, the second round is about to begin! Are you going to continue competing?”“Yes! Of course I have to continue competing!”Nanako suddenly regained all of her fig
In order to endorse the Apothecary Stomach Pill, Quinn had brought her assistant and bodyguard with her as they rushed to Aurous Hill by plane.Since the Golding family was the third largest family in Eastcliff, their family had a relatively strong background and strength. Therefore, Quinn always used her own private jet when she had to travel.On one hand, it was easier and much more convenient. More importantly, she would have a lot more privacy that way.A big celebrity like her would cause a huge sensation regardless of which city she appeared at in the country.If she wanted to keep and maintain a low profile, she would have to avoid the media, paparazzi, and fans.So, taking the private jet would always be her first choice when she had to travel.After the private jet landed in Aurous Hill, Liam went to pick them up and greet them personally. After that, he brought Quinn and her party to The Apothecary Pharmaceutical.Liam originally planned to arrange for them to check in
Dorothy frowned as she asked, “Does your boss have persecutory delusional disorder? It’s already the twenty-first century now. The laws on patents are all very strict. As long as your medication has already been patented, there’s no need for you to worry that other people will get their hands on your formula and misuse it then.”Liam shook his head and said, “Miss Chan, there is something that you don’t know about. In the current pharmaceutical industry, only chemically synthesized drugs can truly be protected by patents. Patents can only be implemented for chemically synthesized drugs.”Dorothy asked, “Chemically synthesized drugs? What do you mean by that?”Liam replied, “Chemically synthesized drugs have strict and clear chemical molecular equations and their chemical structures are also very stable. For instance, the specific drug for treating leukemia is Glenin and based on its chemical structure, it is actually imatinib mesylate. It is produced by Novartis, which is a pharmace
When he saw Dorothy’s disdain for his boss, Liam replied sternly, “Miss Chan, you can look down on me, but you must never look down on my boss. If you’ve been in contact with my boss and gotten to know him for yourself, then you will understand that everything I said was not a lie.”Dorothy curled her lips as she was about to say something else. However, Quinn, who was standing next to her, grabbed her arm before she said, “Dorothy, don’t be so rude when we are outside. I believe everything that Mr. Weaver has just said. If his boss had really studied and came up with the prescription on his own, then it would only be right to say that he is the Terrence Hamms in the world now, based on the magical medicine such as the Apothecary Stomach Pill.”Dorothy stuck out her tongue as she said, “Well, since you’ve already said so, I’ll stop arguing with him just for the sake of arguing then. I was originally planning to continue teasing him.”Liam was speechless for a moment. He really did n
This kind of foundation should be laid out for at least three generations, or even more than four generations in the family.It was only after this foundation was laid out for several generations that the family could finally cultivate this kind of true aristocratic and noble temperament.In Aurous Hill, there was only one woman who really had this kind of temperament and that was none other than Jasmine.However, Quinn had an even more noble temperament compared to Jasmine.Charlie regained his composure and he looked at the two women before he smiled slightly. After that, he said a little apologetically, “I’m sorry for keeping the both of you waiting. I got delayed because of some other matter today.”Quinn plucked up the courage to ask him, “You…your name is Charlie Wade?”Charlie nodded and said, “Yes. What’s the matter? What’s wrong, Miss Golding?”Quinn pointed at herself as she stared at him with her beautiful eyes and asked, “Do you remember me?”As soon as these words
Charlie could not help but laugh when he heard Dorothy’s words. “This is because the Apothecary Stomach Pill is not listed on the market yet. Therefore, we have to maintain some secrecy measures too. This is normal in all pharmaceutical industries. It is an industrial practice.”Quinn said apologetically, “I am sorry, Mr. Wade. I should not be making such an unreasonable request. It is simply because I was filming abroad some time ago and I hurt my stomach which developed a stomach disorder then. I tried taking many different kinds of medicines, but I failed to find a cure for my stomach disorder. I only noticed a significant improvement in my condition after taking the Apothecary Stomach Pill. That is the reason why I am also feeling a little eager to get my hands on the medicine.”Charlie nodded slightly. After that, he took a sachet of the Apothecary Stomach Pill that had just been packed from the production line before handing it over to Quinn. Then, he smiled and said, “Since Mi
As soon as the door was closed, this goddess, who countless men were crazily infatuated with, looked at Charlie with flushed red eyes. After that, she choked as she asked Charlie, “Brother Charlie, you really don’t remember me at all?”Charlie shook his head slightly before he replied in a serious tone, “Sorry. I left Eastcliff when I was eight years old. I have not gone back to Eastcliff for many years now, so I do not remember or have a deep memory of many people or things from Eastcliff anymore.”Quinn’s eyes were filled with tears at this time. Then, she whispered softly, “Brother Charlie, I am Nana! Don’t you remember me? It’s Nana!”“Nana?” Charlie frowned slightly in response.Quinn hurriedly replied, “Don’t you remember Nana Golding?”There were a lot of girls who called themselves Nana as an abbreviation for their name. Therefore, if she were to just mention that she was Nana, Charlie really could not remember who she was.However, Charlie finally had an impression of th
Ever since Charlie had come to Aurous Hill, the only old and familiar face he had seen after so many years was none other than the steward of the Wade family, Stephen. It was Stephen who had suddenly appeared in front of him and given the Emgrand Group and ten billion dollars in cash to him on behalf of the Wade family.However, after that, Charlie had never returned to Eastcliff.It was actually very interesting. Although the Wade family had given him some money and the company, when they heard that Charlie refused to go back to the Wade family, no one in the Wade family had come to Aurous Hill to look for him at all.In truth, Charlie was also very happy about this.After all, he had always felt very repulsed and disgusted with the resentment and grudges that always existed between the rich and powerful. He did not want him and his wife, Claire, to get involved in something like that. Since he could live a stable and undisturbed life in Aurous Hill like he was currently doing,
With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j
Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in
Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the
Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan
The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m
Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
