Jasmine hurriedly replied, “Grandpa, please tell me what you want me to do!”Lord Moore suddenly said, “I want you to make Mr. Wade the son-in-law of the Moore family!”“What?” Everyone present in the living room, including Jasmine, could only stare at Lord Moore in shock.At this time, Jasmine felt a burst of excitement in her heart.However, she was still very cautious and she said, “Grandpa, Mr. Wade…is already married.”“So what?” the old man replied in a firm manner. “I don’t care if he’s already married or if he has many wives or mistresses. Even if he has a lot of children, we’ll have to win him over! I want to have a son-in-law like him. If he is the son-in-law of the Moore family, then the Moore family business will definitely increase exponentially and we’ll also be able to rise up the ranks among the other powerful and prestigious families. The Moore family will finally have the opportunity to become one of the most powerful families in the country!”Jasmine hesitated
Claire was very puzzled when she heard her mother persuading her to return to work for Wilson Group again. Therefore, she could only ask her mother, “Mom, what kind of ecstasy did Grandma feed you? Why are you always forcing me to go back to work for Wilson Group?”Elaine was very anxious at this time and she quickly replied, “If you work for Wilson Group, you’ll be getting a fixed annual salary. Isn’t that better than starting your own business? What if you lose all of your money because you chose to start your own business? What should your father and I do, then?”Claire replied in a firm manner, “Mom, stop trying to force me! I’m never going to return to work for Wilson Group. Even if I have to beg for food on the streets, I would never return to work for Wilson Group in this lifetime! I might have to beg for food but I’ll never lose my own pride or dignity!”Elaine glared at Claire before she said, “Are you doing all just to preserve your own pride or dignity?”After Elaine was
If that was the case, she would not even have the opportunity to live in the villa that Zeke had given to Charlie after the renovation was completed.Elaine gave in immediately when she thought about this.At this time, she could only sigh before she said, “Okay, I’ll choose to be supportive of you, then. I won’t mention Wilson Group anymore, okay?”Claire was finally satisfied and she nodded before she said, “Alright then, we won’t move out, then.”Charlie could not stop himself from showing a thumbs up gesture at Claire when he witnessed her showdown with her mother.His wife was really incredible. Even though it was not apparent, Claire was always very effective at handling all the critical moments.Jacob did not say anything so far but when he saw his daughter who rarely lost her temper finally getting angry and frustrated, he came forward and said, “Look! Why should you be fighting? Isn’t it good for the family to be harmonious and happy?”Elaine glared at Jacob with a shar
When Jacob said this, everyone looked at him with an incredulous expression on their faces.Elaine asked Jacob in surprise, “Are you telling me that someone wants to spend three hundred thousand dollars for this tattered thing? I don’t think that you’ll even be able to sell it for fifty dollars!”Jacob replied in a triumphant manner, “Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, why don’t you take a look at my message history?”As soon as he said this, Jacob took out his cell phone before he opened his text message and clicked on a voice note sent to him by someone called Zachary.Zachary’s voice sounded over the phone at this time. “Uncle Jacob, you’ve got a very good pen holder in your hands! I do think the pen holder is really from the Qing Dynasty! Why don’t you sell the pen holder to me instead? I’ll give you three hundred thousand dollars for it!”Elaine was very surprised and she quickly said, “Oh my god! You were telling us the truth! Jacob, you’re incredible. You boug
“Okay, I’ll drive.”The couple drove to Antique Street together.Since it was the weekend, there were many people at Antique Street.Zachary had already opened his stall for a long time on Antique Street. Therefore, he has his own permanent booth on the street. Charlie could find him as soon as he entered the Antique Street.At this time, Zachary was holding a fake jade pendant in his hand as he was bragging to a foreign couple. “I am telling you that this jade pendant was worn by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty before he passed it to his grandson and the generation after that. After many twists and turns, the jade pendant finally fell in my hands…”“Is it really that valuable?” the middle-aged man asked in surprise. “How much does this jade pendant cost?”Zachary grinned before he replied, “Since we’re fated to meet today, I’ll sell this jade pendant to you for just one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. After leaving Antique Street, you can actually sell this jade pendant to
Charlie nodded in satisfaction when he saw how obedient Zachary was.In fact, Zachary was a very clever man and he would definitely be useful to Charlie in the future since he is indeed very capable and full of ideas.After that, Charlie told him, “Zachary, I’ll definitely treat you well if I’m satisfied with your behaviour.”Zachary hurriedly clasped his fists together before he said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I’ll definitely make sure you’re satisfied!”Charlie could not help but smile at Zachary’s flattery. “Do you know that I really feel like hitting you because of how shameless you look right now?”Zachary laughed before he said, “Mr. Wade, I know how ugly my face is but you should also know that money is never ugly!”After that, Zachary took out a black box from under the seat before he handed it over to Charlie. “Mr. Wade, this is the three hundred thousand dollars in cash that I’m supposed to give your father-in-law. Please check if the amount is correct.”Charlie waved hi
Claire pushed the car open before she hurried out of the car with an umbrella in hand.Charlie rushed after Claire as soon as he saw her getting out of the car.“What happened, Loreen?”Claire asked as soon as she rushed over to Loreen.“Claire? What are you doing here?” Loreen asked as soon as she saw Claire. She was trembling because she was drenched from the heavy rain. She looked extremely surprised and embarrassed, as though she did not want her best friend to see her in such an awkward manner.Claire held the umbrella over Loreen’s head and she quickly replied, “I happened to pass by this road with Charlie when I saw you by the side of the road. What happened to you?”Loreen quickly replied with an annoyed expression on her face, “Let’s not talk about it anymore! My company sent me out on an errand today and they gave me a car to do so. That’s the reason why I drove out to meet the customer in this care today. However, even before I could meet up with the customer, I real
Among the two people who were walking towards them, the one standing in front was dressed in white.He was wearing a white silk cloth and his clothes fluttered in the air. What was even more surprising was the fact that there was not even a drop of rain on him at this time.The other man was dressed in black and he had a very strong and sturdy body.Moreover, he could see that the two men had formed a barrier around their body, as if isolating the rainwater from themselves.Charlie glanced at the two men and he realized that they could both fight very well.At this time, Zachary, who was sitting in the car, looked out the car window and his face turned pale immediately, as though he had just seen a ghost! At this time, he opened the car door before he tried to run away.Charlie had very quick eyes and he quickly grabbed hold of Zachary’s collar before he said, “Why are you running away?”“The Butcher Brothers…they’re the Butcher Brothers!” Zachary yelled in panic as he struggled
