Charlie could just take the Rejuvenating Pill out and give it to Stephen if he wanted to. However, he stated a condition where he would give it to Stephen when he needed it the most to gain Stephen’s trust and reliability.It was not because he had any doubts about Stephen in any way, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with being cautious under any kind of circumstances.With the Rejuvenating Pill as bait, Stephen would definitely be more loyal to him.As expected, upon hearing this, Stephen startled in awestruck and said gratefully, “Mr. Charlie, I’m really glad to hear you say this. I swear, I dedicate my life to you, and I’m willing to go through all kinds of treacherous routes for you!”Stephen was not only a loyal man but also an intelligent one.Although he had no idea what the Rejuvenating Pill was, he was able to get a glimpse of it through Yule’s current condition.First of all, the magical elixir that Charlie had mentioned must be the miracle drug that could cure
Stephen managed a bitter smile when he heard Charlie’s question and said forlornly, “Mr. Charlie, the vast majority of people in the world is ungrateful and often take things for granted. Only when in need of others will they cling to them and enjoy the benefits and support that is blessed to them, but once they don’t need help, they will turn the other way and even, in turn, blame those who helped them, just to steal their limelight…”At this point, Stephen said in a rather dejected tone, “When your father led these families to fight the Rothschild family, they all sucked up to him, so much so that they even took the initiative to establish an Eastcliff Business Alliance and elected your father as the first chairman of the alliance…”“But after your father had defeated the Rothschild family, they immediately disbanded the alliance and even slandered your father’s reputation by accusing him of failing to manage and secure an absolute victory against the Rothschild family. There were
Stephen quickly said, “Mr. Charlie, I have an idea. Would you like to hear it?”Charlie replied, “Of course. Fire away.”Stephen started, “Mr. Charlie, if you want to make those in Eastcliff who have failed your father pay, you must first take the Wade family firmly into your hands, and then make a detailed and complete plan to swipe at them one by one!”Charlie asked, “If I had the Wade family in my hands, which family do you think I should strike first?”“The Schulz!” Stephen replied without any hesitation.“The Schulz family is the most powerful and wealthiest at the moment. Destroying them is equivalent to achieving half of your goal. Besides, the people who slandered your father behind his back were all assembled by the Schulz family. They had formed a group called the Anti-Wade Alliance where the Schulz family was the leader.”“Anti-Wade Alliance?” Charlie sneered, “What a name! I won’t stop pursuing the Schulz family then, I swear!”Stephen said, “By the way, today, Lord
“Becoming the patriarch of the Wade family?”Charlie smiled and replied with a slight disdain, “I have no interest in becoming the patriarch of the Wade family.”Stephen replied instantaneously, “Mr. Charlie, please do not forget that the Wade family is the second most prominent family in all of Eastcliff and I dare say, second most prominent in the country! So, if you’re able to obtain the title as patriarch of the family, Mr. Charlie, then the power gap between you and the Schulz family will be relatively closer.”Charlie waved his hands and replied. “Stephen, one day, I will defeat the Schulz family with my own hands. I will destroy all those who had wronged my father and his family. I will use my own strength to make them kneel before my parents grave and confess their sins!”Stephen sighed. “Mr. Charlie, if you were to become the patriarch of the Wade family, you can realize your wish much sooner!”Charlie said coldly, “I don’t want to go back to the Wade family because when
During the journey, Quinn didn’t utter a single word. It was as if she had something on her mind.After seeing her beautiful brows frowning, Charlie couldn’t help but ask, “Nana, what’s on your mind?”Quinn came back to her senses and replied, “Brother Charlie, is your relationship with Claire really…good?”Charlie was surprised by the question and replied with a question of his own. “Why do you ask this so suddenly?”Quinn replied, “I’m just curious and also a little worried.”“What are you worried about?”“Worried about what I should do in the future if your relationship is really good…”Charlie smiled a little and asked, “Before you met me, have you ever wondered about your future?”Quinn nodded. “I’ve thought about it before. Before I met you, I had always known that I must look for you. If I couldn’t find you, then I’d stay single since I have no feelings for other men anyway.”Charlie continued, “If you really hadn’t met me… I don’t think you’d actually stay single until
Early the next morning, Charlie was planning to bid farewell to Quinn’s family and then take a taxi to the airport but unexpectedly, Yule insisted on personally driving him to the airport.Rachel and Quinn were both accompanying them.Charlie didn’t want to trouble them and waste their precious time but they insisted and it was difficult for him to reject their hospitality, so he agreed.Yule was driving his Rolls-Royce with Rachel sitting at the passenger seat, while Charlie and Quinn were both seated in the back seat.Quinn was feeling a little depressed but since her parents were in the car, she tried to refrain from speaking. She looked as if there was a lot on her mind.As the outline of the airport was within sight, Quinn built up some courage to reach out her hand to grab Charlie’s hand and gave it a little squeeze.Charlie turned his head and saw Quinn looking back at him with a stubborn and resentful stare. He couldn’t help but feel a little sense of guilt building up wi
The salesperson frowned and said, “Sir, the price of this bag is $580,000.”Charlie hummed and said, “No problem, I want it.”The salesperson then replied, “Excuse me sir, if you want to purchase this bag, you’ll have to purchase items of a similar amount also known as accompanying purchase”Charlie was surprised by the statement and asked. “What do you mean to purchase items of a similar amount? Can’t I just buy this bag directly?”The salesperson smiled contemptuously as she replied. “Sir, is this your first time purchasing a Hermes bag? Have you bought anything from Hermes previously?”Charlie shook his head. “No, may I know what the problem is?”The salesperson hummed, “A lot of Hermes bags aren’t something you can purchase that easily. Just because you want to purchase it doesn’t mean that you can get it directly. You can pick, choose, and buy anything you like but those only apply for the general merchandise and basic model bags which are below $300,000. Anything above that
At that moment, Tanaka’s attention was completely placed on the fashionable and somewhat flirtatious woman who was beside him.That was why he did not notice Charlie who was in the store.Since the two spoke the Oskian dialect, Charlie speculated that the female companion had to be from Oskia.After the two of them walked into the shop, the woman dragged Tanaka around the shop to look around. Immediately after, she pointed at the Hermes limited edition handbag that Charlie has already selected for his wife and said flirtatiously, “Tanaka, I want this bag!”Tanaka replied embarrassingly, “My dear, we’ve come all the way to Eastcliff to look for a world-renowned doctor for the eldest lady. We aren’t here to shop! It’s bad enough that we failed to meet the doctor… I really have no idea how I’m supposed to go back to face the family…If you really want to do some shopping, then could you please wait till we return to Japan first? I will take you to Tokyo and you can shop all you like th
