Claire replied, “What plans would I have? I will look for another job!”Charlie did not say anything else when he heard Claire’s words. Instead, he simply walked to the balcony as he gave Zeke a phone call.As soon as Zeke answered the phone, Charlie asked him immediately, “Your nephew, Gerald… is he engaged to Wendy?”“Yes.” Zeke replied in a hurry before he asked, “What can I do for you, Mr. Wade?”Charlie replied coldly, “I have already broken all ties with the Wilson family. If the White family decides to accept a bride from the Wilson family, that would mean that you are not giving me any face at all. Therefore, if you insist on doing so, do not blame me for not being polite when there are any conflicts in the future.”As soon as Zeke heard his words, he panicked and blurted out immediately, “Mr. Wade, please don’t get me wrong. The White family has already regretted this marriage arrangement for a long time. If it weren’t for the fact that you were the son-in-law of the Wils
Graham smiled as soon as he saw Charlie. “Mr. Wade, I heard that you encountered some unexpected situations today. Therefore, I gathered some herbs and medicine, and I decided to send them over here for you to take a look.”After he was done speaking, a bodyguard appeared behind Graham before he presented Charlie with a red wooden box respectfully.Graham opened the lid of the wooden box before he smiled and said, “Mr. Wade, please take a look at this.”Charlie saw that Graham had brought him a wooden box filled with old and thick wild ginseng, some purplish-red shiny Ganoderma lucidum, and a few other medicinal herbs that could not be found in any ordinary herb shop.Although these medicinal herbs were very precious and expensive, they did not contain much spiritual energy. However, these herbs were definitely better than nothing.Moreover, these medicinal herbs would also come in handy since Charlie needed to prepare some pills for invigorating Jacob’s blood circulation.Charli
The secret pill was developed by a famous Chinese physician, Sun Simiao, during the Tang Dynasty. His widely circulated works were and . He had also released the book . The was a memorandum containing the history of all the clinical experience and medical practices in the past dynasties, and these were also included in the .The was more clinically valuable compared to the other two medical books. However, not many people knew about it nowadays. It seemed to have been lost completely, and many medical practitioners had never even heard of this name before.Charlie quickly prepared a box of six walnut-sized honey pills according to the prescriptions in the medical books.As soon as he was done preparing the pills, Jacob and Claire had also just returned.Jacob was in a lot of pain, and it was becoming increasin
At this time in the Wilson family villa.Lady Wilson and Christopher were waiting for Harold to bring back good news that he had successfully taken over the villa at Thompson First.However, they did not expect to receive news that Harold was gravely injured and that he had been arrested by the police, currently being detained on the grounds that he had broken into private property and caused intentional harm to others!This made Lady Wilson extremely angry!Lady Wilson spoke angrily, “This must have been done by Claire and her family again! This is really unacceptable!”Christopher was very nervous and started panicking when he heard that his son was seriously injured. He quickly said in agitation, “Mom! Jacob is being too arrogant! You have to claim justice for Harold! After all, Jacob has always listened to anything you say. If you tell him to stop whatever he is doing right now, he will definitely listen to you and act according to your instructions.”“Of course!” Lady Wilson
Even though Gerald and Wendy were not officially married, both of them had already been together for the longest time. Some time ago, Gerald and Wendy had been careless, and she had even got pregnant unexpectedly. In order not to invoke any gossips or rumors, the old lady had asked Wendy to have an abortion and wait to have a child only after they got married. Unexpectedly, the White family was seeking to annul their engagement now!Didn’t this mean that Gerald had been playing around with her granddaughter all this while?!Not only that, but he was thinking of leaving after getting her granddaughter pregnant?Lady Wilson was furious, and she asked in a trembling voice, “Mr. White, what do you mean by this? The Wilson family has never offended you in any way! Moreover, we had always regarded Gerald as our own son even before he got together with Wendy. Wendy was even pregnant with Gerald’s child. Still, I asked her to get an abortion because I was considering our families’ reputat
Lady Wilson was in utter shock.How had this happened?She could not believe that Charlie actually had the power to influence the White family to break the engagement with the Wilson family!She felt as though her heart was hurting as she thought about this.Lady Wilson wanted to beg Zeke not to abandon the Wilson family. However, the other party ignored her completely. After announcing that they would be annulling the engagement between Gerald and Wendy, Zeke turned around and left the Wilson family villa with Gerald immediately.Wendy broke down entirely and could not stop crying.She had been following Gerald around for so many years, giving him everything that she had. She had even been pregnant with his child, but still, he chose to abandon her at this time!She could not help but feel hatred and resentment toward her grandmother.Christopher was also feeling very depressed right then. He had acted and dealt with his brother’s family according to the old lady’s instruction
This was a bolt out of the blue for Lady Wilson and Christopher!They had just been saying that they would have to rely on Emgrand Group to get out of this crisis, and yet now, a representative from Emgrand Group was actually here to terminate the contract and any other collaborations with them! Moreover, they even went as far as to say that they would never work with them again!This…This was a huge blow to the Wilson Group!The old lady trembled as she asked, “Lawyer, what is going on? Why is this happening? Hasn’t all of our collaborations been very successful all this while?”The lawyer replied coldly, “Yes, indeed we have worked and cooperated very well with Miss Claire in the past. However, we heard the news that Miss Claire has already left the Wilson Group. Therefore, we are no longer interested in collaborating or working together with the Wilson Group anymore.”Lady Wilson then realized that this was all because of Claire!She was furious!Why!?Why did she have thi
The news that Emgrand Group had blacklisted the Wilson Group spread around Aurous Hill quickly.At this time, everyone in Aurous Hill already knew that the Wilson family was finished. News that the old lady had been admitted to the hospital as soon as she heard about the fate of the Wilson Group also spread very quickly.Charlie’s father-in-law, Jacob, was not even surprised when he heard the news.He calmly told his daughter and son-in-law, “My mother has always been like that. She has always felt the need to control other people throughout her entire life. It was only a matter of time before she suffers from her own actions! There is no need for us to feel sympathetic at all. We should give her some time to reflect on herself in the hospital. Perhaps she will finally understand what she has done wrong in her life!”Charlie was relieved because it was rare for Jacob to finally look aside when it came to matters related to his mother.After heaving a sigh of relief, Claire began t
Noticing Elaine's disappointment, Charlie quickly spoke up, "Honey, when are you coming back? Have you set a time?" Claire replied, "I plan to first finalize the project's documents and progress here as well as resolve any outstanding issues. If there's nothing else, I'll go back. If I can't finish today, it will probably be the day after tomorrow at the latest." "Have you checked the flights?" Charlie asked. "Are there any suitable flights for the day after tomorrow?" Claire replied, "Miss Fox suggested arranging her family's private jet to send me back, but I feel bad about it. A flight on a private jet costs over a million, and I can't let them spend that money." Elaine quickly interrupted, "Then just take a regular flight back and let her give you the money for the private jet. Convert it into a million!" Charlie hurriedly said, "They have plenty of planes. Even when they're not in use, they have to be maintained. The actual cost of flying one more trip isn't that high. B
Jacob and Elaine happened to be in the living room, so Charlie waved his phone at them and said, "Mom, Dad, it's Claire. I'll answer it here." The two stopped bickering instantly, and Charlie pressed the answer button. After the call was connected, Claire's beautiful face appeared on the phone screen. Seeing the background, Claire said in surprise, "Honey! You're home!" Charlie nodded. "I just got back today. Let me show you Mom and Dad." As he said that, he turned his phone around and pointed the front camera at Jacob and Elaine. Jacob asked worriedly, "Darling, when will you come back? I miss you!" Elaine interjected hastily, "Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. I miss you too, but it's a great opportunity that you're finally working with the Fox family in America. You must focus on your career. If you want, I can go over to take care of you!" "Mom, this is why I'm calling Charlie," Claire said with a smile. "I just finished the morning meeting with Miss Fox and the
Charlie responded with a smile, "Don't bother. I've already eaten." Jacob quickly stood up, walked over, and asked, "Why were you away for so many days this time?" Charlie answered, "The workload was a bit heavy this time. I visited several houses and factories, mainly because the client has strong financial power." "Wow!" Elaine exclaimed, very pleased, "A client with such strength must have paid quite a bit, right?" "Exactly." Charlie nodded and casually said, "This client was very generous with the payment. They even gave me an extra one million as travel expenses before I left." "My goodness!" Elaine shrieked. "One million just for travel expenses? What kind of godsent client is this?!" Jacob couldn't help but sigh, "Now, this is what it means to be rich. Giving an extra one million, that's just like a tip, right? They're really throwing money around like it's nothing!" At this point, Elaine seemed to remember something and quickly said, "I saw in the news that the yo
Charlie shook his head and replied, "I live in another building." As he said that, he pressed the button for the first floor in the elevator. The woman nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I thought you two were a couple. You look so well-matched." "No, no..." Nanako, feeling embarrassed, quickly replied, "Uh... We're just friends." The woman nodded and stopped teasing her. The elevator soon reached the first floor. Charlie bid farewell to the two women, got off the elevator, and walked toward the villa area. At this moment, he could never have imagined that the woman who had been in the same elevator with him was actually an underling of his biological mother. The reason she had returned a step ahead of him was also part of a carefully planned arrangement. Ashley was worried that Charlie might overthink things, so she had deliberately arranged for the woman to appear in front of him, allowing him to confirm that the woman was just an ordinary person who knew nothing a
Just as Charlie and Nanako were about to get out of the car, a female driver exited her car in the parking space diagonally opposite. After locking her car, she carried her bag and walked toward the elevator hall. When Nanako saw the woman, she turned to Charlie and said, "Charlie, that is the neighbor I mentioned. That day, I overheard her talking to a friend on the phone, and that's how I found out that Master Jeevika was coming to Aurous Hill." Charlie nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "It seems we should thank her when we get the chance. With just one phone call, she inadvertently helped you attain enlightenment." "Yes!" Nanako fully agreed with Charlie's point, saying, "If it weren't for her, I might not have had the chance to attain enlightenment." She then asked, "Do you want to meet Master Jeevika? Maybe he can give you some inspiration." Charlie shook his head. "My situation is special, so it's better to avoid meeting strangers who have already attained enlightenme
Due to the time difference, Charlie did not immediately call Kathleen. However, he believed that this matter was a piece of cake for her, so he planned to call her in the evening to discuss it and then start working on the follow-up plans. So, Charlie said to Nanako, "I think there's no need for you to continue practicing martial arts. Instead, why not come with me to the villa this afternoon and help me out? Once we're done, we can both head back to Thompson First." Without hesitation, Nanako nodded and said, "I'm all yours." She then asked, "Should I inform Master Howton of my departure?" Charlie waved his hand and said, "He must still be teaching. Let's talk to him privately later." "Okay." After that, Charlie and Nanako went to his villa halfway up the mountain. Once they got to the basement of the villa, Nanako was taken aback by the sight of a simple fluid-filling machine with many unused bottles and caps nearby. She asked, "Why do you have pharmaceutical equipment
With this thought in mind, Charlie silently decided to spend more time at the villa in the future, where he could focus on studying cultivation. Perhaps he might discover a breakthrough path based on his current foundation. However, the thought of Holly's family living in the villa next door posed a dilemma. If he went there every day to practice in seclusion, he would inevitably have to pass by Holly's house. Out of courtesy, it would be impossible not to greet them. But once he started exchanging pleasantries, his efficiency would naturally decrease. Moreover, it would eventually cause a misunderstanding if Nanako were to go there every day as well. Thus, Charlie felt an eagerness to find a new place for cultivation. After some thought, the lakeside mansion that Kathleen had purchased under the alias Kylie when she was in Aurous Hill came to mind. The Quinton family's villa, located in the Sonfo Valley far from the city, was nestled among mountains and waters, boasting exce
Nanako could also feel that the energy available for her to draw upon in her Sea of Consciousness had suddenly surged. Her sensory abilities, which had already improved significantly after achieving enlightenment, instantly leaped to an even higher level. The Reiki within her body became exceptionally abundant. With just a slight movement of her divine sense, the Reiki immediately dispersed from within her, making the entire office feel as if it was under her bird's-eye view, completely under her control. Moreover, this sense of control continued to extend outward. In just a short moment, eight nearby rooms also fell within her perception range. Charlie could sense the Reiki Nanako was releasing. Observing her closely, he noticed that her body was already brimming with Reiki, suggesting that it was no longer possible for her to continue taking the elixir. After a while, Nanako retracted the Reiki she had been using for perception and looked up at Charlie, saying, "Previously I co
Although Nanako had just attained enlightenment, she had already realized a critical problem: the Reiki available to her was very little, and there was almost no external channel for obtaining Reiki. For cultivators today, getting Reiki was the most difficult thing. There was no Reiki in the world, so the only external channels to obtain Reiki were elixirs, spiritual stones, or formations. If someone had a complete cultivation method, he could generate Reiki in his body by practicing the method, but for people like Charlie and Nanako who lacked such methods, this self-sufficient path was not feasible. Therefore, the small amount of Reiki that was generated in Nanako's body when she attained enlightenment was basically used up after she tried to sense Reiki. Charlie was slightly better than Nanako. The spiritual stones he accidentally obtained in the early days provided him with a lot of Reiki. Later, he relied on Cultivating Pills to barely make up for the gap in Reiki. Altho
