‘The ability of the Wade Family is at least a dozen times stronger than the Rothschild Family!’ Thinking of this, Edmund only then realized how pathetic and absurd he had been. He thought that by coming to Aurous Hill, he would be able to do whatever he wanted by hiding from Isaac. However, he had never thought that he would offend the Young Master of the Wade family so quickly! Hence, he slapped himself hard and wept, “Young Master Wade, I have eyes but cannot see. I did not expect to offend you. I did not know Doris was your friend! If I knew all these things, even if I was beaten to death, I would not have had any intention toward her…” Charlie laughed, “Did you know that Emgrand Group belongs to me as well?” “Eh?!” Edmund was goggle-eyed, and he blurted, “This… this… this I truly did not know, Young Master Wade… If I knew, I would not have dared to have evil thoughts about Emgrand Group even if you gave me the courage to do so…” Before Edmund ha
A hopeless Edmund was dragged away by Isaac’s men and taken out of the hospital. After he had left, all CCTV footage of him was cleverly removed by Isaac’s men completely.As a result, no one would be able to find Edmund’s footage in Aurous Hill. It would be even more impossible to trace his activity. When Edmund’s family members finally realized that he was missing and came to Aurous Hill to look for him, they would only notice that this person had vanished into thin air. As they left, Charlie asked Isaac to arrange for experts to give Edmund a taste of his own favorite mercury dichloride and wait till he got sick just like Doris’s father and put him on dialysis. This was what Charlie meant by ‘doing unto him as he does unto you’. To these extremely corrupted monsters, only through this method could Edmund be taught a real lesson. Doris, who was at the side, saw with her own eyes how Charlie handled this matter satisfyingly to decide Ed
At this moment, Charlie uttered, “Aunty, to most doctors, kidney failure is indeed irreversible. However, my ancestor still managed to preserve some good prescriptions. To cure this isn’t very hard.” “Really?!” Faith could not hold back her excitement, and she replied with a lump in her throat, “Then, Mr. Wade, please intervene and save my husband… Throughout his life, he was a good teacher and had a noble character. He never once did a bad thing and should not have ended up like this…” As she spoke, Faith looked toward Doris, who was by her side. Holding Doris’s hands tightly, she cried, “He used more than twenty years of his life to nurture Doris. He has not yet seen Doris wearing a wedding gown and getting married. He has also not yet enjoyed the family fun of three generations. If he were to go like this, God really has no eyes…” Nodding his head, Charlie said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Aunty. As long as Uncle eats the medicine prepared by me, the disease will su
After feeding half the medication to Doris’s father, the mother and daughter were surprised to see Corwin’s ghost-like pale face instantly turn slightly rosy with life.This was what Oskian medicine termed as the color of the blood!When a person’s Qi and blood were strong, their complexion would be glowing with a rosy radiance. When the Qi and blood were insufficient, they would look pale and sallow.The main reason why terminally ill patients looked pale and had lips that were lacking in color was mostly because of the exhaustion of the blood and Qi in their body.Doris’s father was indeed like that.The extremely severe kidney failure had long put his life on the line.His entire person looked like a plant that was about to wilt, on the verge of death.However, as soon as the medicine was ingested, his body began to undergo extreme changes.This scene made the mother and daughter feel as though they were watching a documentary on television in which some documentaries had re
Charlie nodded and smiled. “No worries. Letting the doctor perform their check-up is also a good idea.”Doris asked in a soft tone, “What about the medicine? If the doctor were to ask about it, what should we reply? After all, in the eyes of the doctor, my father’s kidney problem is already very severe and there was no cure…”Charlie laughed as he replied, “No worries. The doctor of Silverwing Hospital had previously witnessed an even more impressive medical miracle before this.”In the past, Charlie’s father-in-law had been struck by a car and had become paraplegic. When he was admitted into the hospital, all the doctors had concluded that he could be bedridden for the rest of his life as he could no longer feel anything below his neck, let alone move freely.However, with the help of a healing pill, Charlie had been able to save his father-in-law. It was as if life came back into his body, he was bursting with energy and was even able to move instantly.At that moment, that had
Creatinine in the blood was an important indicator for judging the degree of damage sustained by the kidney.The higher the amount of creatinine found in the blood indicated the higher degree of kidney damage.For a normal adult, the amount of creatine in the blood generally should be below a hundred and thirty-three. Any number above this value indicated that the kidney had already sustained some damage.Once the creatinine amount exceeded four hundred and fifty, it could be determined to be a renal failure. If the value exceeded seven hundred, it basically meant that it was uremia.During the noon, Corwin’s blood monitor indicated that his blood creatinine index had exceeded more than a thousand and five hundred!Therefore, in order to determine whether he had recovered from his illness, the most important point of reference would be the blood creatinine index.Soon, the nurse came rushing in.Seeing Corwin’s sudden energetic appearance, the nurse was shocked and in disbelief.
In the past, her parents had been looking for some suitable men for her. Corwin had even wanted to introduce his favorite student to her, but she hadn’t even given them a chance to meet nor have a meal.As of now, Doris realized that her mother seemed to have a very good impression of Charlie. Now, the reason she wanted Charlie to stay was probably to ask Charlie for some personal information or maybe even to investigate her relationship with him.Therefore, she quickly said, “Mother, Charlie is a young man. There is a generation gap between you guys, there won’t be much to talk about. It’s better to not cause him any trouble!”Faith immediately replied, “What are you saying? Although your dad and I are a little older, we do know a lot about the younger generation stuff, okay?”At this moment, Charlie said with a smile, “It’s alright, Doris. You should go and buy your stuff first. Let’s not delay uncle’s meal. I will chat with uncle and aunt for a while.”Doris was very embarrasse
Charlie couldn’t really understand Faith’s point at that moment, but he felt somewhat embarrassed when he heard this.After all, Doris was his employee.Although the Emgrand Group was his, the entirety of the Emgrand Group’s operations, management, and development was almost entirely handled by Doris alone.In contrast, Charlie was just giving instructions and not handling them personally.If, according to Faith’s words, Doris were to quit her job, fall in love, and travel around the world, it would be like throwing away the Emgrand Group.Deep down, he really didn’t want this to happen. Who in the right mind would let his most capable man do nothing but travel around the world.However, he also knew that he was just chatting with Doris’s parents anyway. So, he should just agree with whatever they said and let this be simply a chatting session.Hence, he smiled and replied, “Aunty, whatever you’ve just mentioned is very reasonable. In fact, you should indeed go out to experience
Charlie frowned in thought for a while, before saying, "Well, there is a plan, but I can't vouch for the chances. I also need you to cooperate with me and not let anything slip, or everything will go to waste. Can you do that?""I can!" Claire nodded, determined, before quickly asking, "So? What's the plan?""Well, it's not specific," Charlie replied. "We just have to improvise as we go along. Let's just head in for now!"-They left the airport and took a cab to the traffic police's headquarters. Just as she entered, they saw their Cullinan parked outside.Charlie sent Claire in first while he carried her luggage before following.Meanwhile, Elaine was wailing in her room, "I've been married to him for years! Suffering so much pain and humiliation, only for him to hook up with an old flame behind my back! Is it wrong if I struck out?"The traffic police officer was on the verge of a breakdown, but he still said patiently, "Ma'am, I've told you many times—what he did was wrong
Claire wasn't all that experienced in love and hence didn't know how a person caught in a love triangle would think or why they would experience such terrible mood swings.Still, Charlie's explanation gave her a general idea, and she sighed, "Actually, Dad looked really bad when Matilda came back. He was so obsessed with her that he didn't care if Mom was alive—even bringing her home for dinner. I'd be seething if I was Mom."Charlie sighed in exasperation. "Well, let's not loiter about. Let's go to the traffic police station.""Yeah!" Claire nodded, before holding his arm, "If they're there, that means they're safe, and they won't be fighting with those officers around. So, let's not head over so quickly."Charlie raised a brow. "What are you getting at?"Claire sighed, clearly troubled. "We have to think—how are we going to alleviate this crisis? If it's really as you say and Mom has mostly guessed it right, this fight might just be the start. At best, that fight on the highway
The traffic police officer smiled in exasperation. "Is there no getting through to you? You could even afford to drive a nice car, and you'd most likely survive an accident. But what if you were left bedridden for a long time? Yell at each other in the same hospital room?"Elaine waved him off. "I don't care—all I know is that I will always get my revenge, and on the spot if possible. If there were superheroes, I would be Wonder Woman!""Urgh…" The traffic police officer was utterly speechless. "How about this? We will call your daughter and have her come over to bail you. She will mediate your fight!"With those words, he returned Elaine's phone to her, and it happened to ring just then.It was a call from Claire.Seeing that the contact name said [Daughter], the traffic police officer quickly said, "Go on, answer it!"Elaine took it and answered the call, and Claire asked urgently before she could say a word, "Mom? Where are you? Where's Dad? Are you both alright?"Elaine sulk
While Charlie was waiting for Claire at the airport, Jacob and Elaine were taken to the traffic police station.But even in the patrol car, Elaine did not stop lashing out at Jacob.As such, the traffic police had no choice but to call up another patrol car to bring them over separately.Charlie was hence left wondering what those two were up to this time as they were nowhere to be seen when Claire's flight was about to land and weren't answering his texts.Fortunately, Charlie never considered them reliable, so he was fine whether they showed up or not.If they did, they could all head home in the same car.If they didn't, he just had to take a cab home with Claire.It was past three when Claire's private jet landed, and Claire herself cleared the checkpoint in just half an hour, wheeling a trolley with her luggage.Seeing Charlie from afar, she couldn't help quickening her pace as she beamed.Charlie hurried toward her as well, and Claire shoved her trolley aside when they w
However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you
The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,
Elaine may have led a life as if she was above the rules, but beneath that tough exterior lay crippling insecurities and a horrific inferiority complex.She was always afraid of being belittled—but more than that, of being ostracized and betrayed.Over the years, the greatest source of her complexes could all be traced back to Matilda.After all, Matilda had been a star back in their school days. Because Elaine was a close friend of hers, many boys would get chummy with Elaine, but only because they were interested in Matilda.Being from a poor farmer's family, Elaine had been scorned plenty and therefore felt exceedingly inferior around Matilda.It was from that sense of inferiority that Elaine had inadvertently developed a one-sided rivalry against Matilda, and she believed her greatest triumph over Matilda in this life was the moment she had stolen Jacob from her.However, while Elaine presumed that she could hold that victory over Matilda's head, Lady Wilson had soured that v
Moreover, given Elaine's ridiculous temper, Jacob knew she would definitely go overboard and destroy him.He wouldn't even have a place to live at that point, and it would really be game over if she held a grudge and stormed the Calligraphy and Painting Association!Under such circumstances, he couldn't ask for a divorce—hell, he might even refuse a divorce if Elaine asked for one!However, that was when Elaine laughed coldly. "Oh, my… You're really not going to divorce me?""Come on—how long were we married?" Jacob quickly reasoned. "Getting divorced at our age? People would laugh at us."Elaine scoffed. "Now I'm curious… Matilda's quite old too, and she's a divorcee marrying again. Won't people laugh at her?""Technically, she's a widow—"Jacob blurted out, but soon turned pale, tensing up again not a second after he had just calmed down, asking gingerly, "W-Why would you suddenly mention her?'Elaine stopped pretending right then and snapped, "It's actually impressive that y
Horrified, Jacob promptly grasped the steering wheel and brought the Cullinan back under control while not hesitating to snap, "Are you crazy?! We're on the highway—that could have killed the both of us!"However, Elaine ignored him and seized the moment to open the armrest box, pulling out the large white envelope.As she opened it, she muttered, "So, it really was a wedding invitation… You really are a terrible friend, Jacob Wilson, hiding a wedding invitation like this! What's the point? Just look at that nervous face of yours—would I suspect you of having an affair with the bride-to-be?"She flipped open the card and was experienced enough to check the names first while disregarding the usual preamble. She wouldn't care about the venue or the time either, focusing solely on the professor who had somehow made Jacob very nervous.That was how Elaine found the names in less than a second: Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall.Matilda?!The name could well be knives stabbing Elaine in th
