In Anthony’s opinion, he could not even compare to Charlie even if he lived another fifty years.This man’s medical skills were unfathomable. What was even more unbelievable is the fact that he could actually produce such a fine magical pill. He was simply a godlike existence!At this time, Xyla’s face was flushed red and she did not know what else to say. In fact, she was not convinced by Charlie’s skills at first but she was utterly convinced now!After that, Charlie said to Anthony indifferently, “Dr. Simmons, even though the medicine that you bought is actually effective for your internal injuries, it is still lacking a few ingredients. Therefore, the effect of the pill is only about twenty percent effective for your condition. Please give me some time so that I can produce the completed pill for you. I believe your internal injury will be healed completely after taking the pill.”“Mr. Wade, thank you! Thank you so much!”Anthony felt extremely grateful and he knelt down in fr
Anthony really did not expect Charlie to say good things about him and his granddaughter at this time. He was very grateful and humble as he said, “Lord Moore, Mr. Wade is too humble. In fact, Mr. Wade was the one who helped you avert this crisis. If not for him, we wouldn’t have been able to wake you up.”Lord Moore nodded before he said politely, “I have already heard of your reputation since a long time ago. Please do not belittle yourself, you are too humble. I really appreciate your kindness and effort in coming all the way here to treat me. Please do not hesitate to look for me if you need the Moore family’s help in the future.”After that, Lord Moore looked at Charlie before he said, “Mr. Wade, thank you for saving my life. Please do not hesitate to ask me if there is anything that the Moore family can do for you in future. I owe my life to you.”Charlie smiled before he replied, “Lord Moore, you’re too polite.”After he was done speaking, Charlie realized that it was alread
Charlie looked at the time on his watch and he felt that it was not that late anyway. Moreover, he had not had any alcohol in a really long time. Therefore, he nodded before he said, “Alright then. You can choose the place!”Jasmine was overjoyed at this time and she hurriedly replied, “I know of a great bar!”After that, Jasmine stepped on the accelerator as she drove towards the city center.…Jasmine drove them downtown to a bar named Sunny.Jasmine stopped her car in front of the entrance of the bar before she passed her car keys over to the young boy working as the valet. After that, she quickly led Charlie into the bar.As soon as the waiter saw her, he greeted her in a respectful manner, “Good evening, Miss Moore! Would you like to go to your usual spot today?”Jasmine nodded and the other party quickly replied, “Please come with me.”There was a dance floor on the first floor of the bar and the atmosphere was pretty lively because there was a DJ on the scene. At this ti
Jasmine smiled after listening to Charlie’s special request. After that, she said, “Okay, let’s do that! Since this is the first glass of wine, I’ll start first!”After that, Jasmine cleared her throat before she smiled sweetly and said, “This first glass of wine is to thank you for saving my grandfather today! I’d also like to thank you for doing me this big favor today!”Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, “Okay, then let’s drink this glass of red wine immediately!”After he was done speaking, Charlie lifted his wine glass before he gently touched it against the wine glass in Jasmine’s hand. After that, he finished the entire glass of red wine in one go.At this time, Jasmine also finished her entire glass of red wine immediately. After that, she smiled before she asked, “Mr. Wade, why don’t you tell me why we should be drinking this second glass of red wine?”“Okay,” Charlie smiled. “This second glass of red wine is to celebrate fate and destiny! Even though there are so many
At this time, Charlie quickly asked out of curiosity, “What do you mean?”Jasmine replied in a serious manner, “Mr. Wade, you look like a very simple and casual person but you’re actually very skillful and capable. However, despite being very capable, you’re not arrogant at all. After getting to know you better, I realize that you won’t try to show off your skills or abilities but if anyone touches your limit or challenges you, you won’t hesitate to show them what you are capable of. Moreover, the methods that you use to counter-attack or defend yourself is usually very unpredictable and quite unlike how an ordinary person would react.”After that, Jasmine continued speaking, “Most importantly, I really don’t understand why you’d choose to become a stay-home son-in-law of the Wilson family when you’re actually so capable and talented. The Wilson family is just a regular and second or probably third-rate family. I think you can definitely do much better because you have so much potent
Charlie laughed helplessly after hearing Jasmine’s words. “It seems as though you do not want to be bound to the rules of the Moore family.” Jasmine nodded before she said, “I really do not want to be bound by the rules of the Moore family but I have no other way out of this.”“Why” Charlie asked in a serious manner. “I think your grandfather might change his mind after this near-death experience because of his critical illness. Furthermore, you’re the reason his life was saved and he’s able to live healthily for a few more years. If he’s really grateful towards you, you can take advantage of this opportunity to ask him for the freedom to love and decide on the man you’d like to be married to. I believe he’ll definitely give you the freedom to choose your own husband.”Jasmine smiled bitterly and she shook her head before she said, “That’s impossible. Even if Grandpa really loves me and feels bad for me, he wouldn’t dare agree to that.”“Why?” Charlie asked with a puzzled expressi
Who would have known that Lady Wilson was just a believer in Buddhism on the surface, but she was actually an extremely greedy and shameless person within!At that time, he would have been willing to kneel down in front of anyone if that person offered to give him one million dollars.No one can resist the attraction of money when they are in need.Those who are able to really treat money as dirt are those people who have more than enough money to spend.What was ten or twenty million dollars to Charlie now? He had tens of billions of dollars in his bank account and Emgrand Group made tens of billions of dollars in profits every year. He did not know what else he could spend his money on anymore.Therefore, what was the point of him accepting the twenty million dollars from them now? He would rather not take the money, but instead allow them to pay homage to him and to treat him as their benefactor just so they would show him more respect in the future.That was what he really wa
Jasmine returned to the Moore family mansion after sending Charlie home that night.Lord Moore did not listen to Charlie’s instructions to rest in bed. Instead, he was sitting in the living room at this time as he spoke to Jasmine’s father and uncle who were reporting the entire family situation to Lord Moore at this time.As soon as he saw Jasmine arriving back at the Moore family mansion, Lord Moore waved his hand before he said, “Jasmine! I’ve been waiting for you to come home!”“Grandpa!” Jasmine replied in a respectful manner before she asked, “Why are you waiting for me?”At this time, Lord Moore replied, “You were the one who invited Mr. Wade here today, weren’t you? Can you give me a detailed account of how you met him?”“Okay, Grandpa!”Jasmine hurriedly explained herself. “Mr. Wade and I met by chance at Vintage Deluxe. At that time, Mr. Wade was with his father-in-law…”“Father-in-law?” Lord Moore asked as he frowned immediately. “Mr. Wade is already married?”“Yes.”
Ramond replied, "I'm not planning on getting my name out there—I was just thinking I could start slow from one shop, but now, I'm suddenly so popular everyone's consulting me for appraisals, so I guess that's the short end of this."Either way, I'm planning to let things cool off by opening the shop late and closing early. That way, I'd receive fewer customers, and the hype will die down in a month."Once it does, I'll lead a slow life, which is perfect in Aurous Hill since it's how things are here. I'm not aiming to get rich or expand my business, and it's a comfortable life, so I plan to retire here."Charlie nodded. "The Rothschilds are relatively manageable, but I'm not sure if the Qing Eliminating Society is still looking for you and the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. You'll be completely free once they are wiped out.""And I'm sure with your abilities, Mr. Wade, that day will soon arrive." Raymond smiled and soon remembered. "By the way, you probably haven't had dinner yet, right
Charlie was never one who covered up misdeeds, and what Jacob had done reflected his corrupted character and clear refusal to feel remorse.As such, Charlie naturally refused to offer any help, completely giving up and allowing Jacob to keep going off on his own tangent, tearing himself apart in the process.Still, Raymond did put a good word in for Jacob. "Actually, one can understand Mr. Wilson's motives from a certain point of view. I was the one who set him up so that he broke that vase, and had him beaten up so that we didn't arouse suspicion. He has every reason to bear a grudge."Charlie sighed, nodding. "There's no issue with holding a grudge or getting revenge—in fact, I have no problem with him trying to salvage some pride. However, what he did was unseemly, and he doesn't know when to stop."He didn't lose anything before Zachary exposed everything. Even if he had missed a killer deal, he bought it off someone's hand in the first place and made two hundred grand in clean
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
