The trio looked in the direction of the voice, and they saw a muscular middle-aged man who was wearing a pair of sports shorts and a t-shirt as he jogged all the way to them.Charlie could not help but look at the middle-aged man. The other party was about 1.8 meters tall, and he had a very well-proportioned body with muscles all over. He looked like he was only in his early forties.Moreover, the other party was only wearing so little clothes for a run on such a cold day. So, it was obvious that this person had excellent physical fitness.What was even rarer was the fact that this man was extremely handsome. He had very thick short hair, and he looked extremely stylish.As soon as Jacob saw this man, he immediately became very vigilant. After looking the man up and down, Jacob could not help but feel a little inferior.After all, Jacob was just an ordinary fifty-year-old middle-aged man as compared to this man. He did not usually exercise or train his body at all, and he had no s

As he spoke, Yolden said jokingly, “By the way, Mr. Wilson, you look like you should be about fifty years old, right?”“Yes. I am fifty years old.” Jacob replied as he nodded.Yolden smiled before he said, “In that case, you cannot refer to me as a young man anymore. I am a few years older than you. I am fifty-five years old this year.”“What?!” Jacob asked as he was dumbfounded. “You are fifty-five years old this year?!”“Yes.” Yolden smiled as he said, “I just celebrated my 55th birthday in January this year.”The expression on Jacob’s face suddenly became a little ugly.It was not out of anger, but it was mainly due to Jacob’s inferiority complex.Jacob had initially thought that Yolden should be around forty-five years old. However, he really would not have expected that this guy would actually be five years older than him!At this time, Yolden looked at Matilda before he asked her, “By the way, Matilda, since Mr. Wilson has to go first because he is in a rush, what about y

As he thought about the fact that he had never been to the United States before, Jacob could not help but hate Elaine even more in his heart.He sat in the co-driver seat as he cursed, “That b*tch, Elaine, is the one who ruined my whole life! If it weren’t because of her, I would have been a top student who graduated from a university in the United States! Perhaps I would have also been a professor working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or even a professor working at Harvard in the United States!”As he spoke, he continued complaining angrily, “What happened in the end? As soon as I graduated from a local university, I got married to Elaine! I cannot get rid of her at all even up to this day!”Charlie could not help but comfort Jacob as he said, “It’s okay, Dad. There are some things that you cannot simply consider most optimistically. Although you are not in a happy marriage now, at the very least, you are in very good health. If you think about it from another point

At that time, many famous people from Silicon Valley had accompanied him and his mother when they visited Stanford University. They were not well-known at the very beginning but now, all of them were internationally renowned.If it weren’t because of his parents’ accident back then, Charlie would have headed to the United States to study in a university there first. After finishing his MBA at Stanford University, Charlie would have chosen to stay back in Silicon Valley to start his own career there, or he could even return to Oskia to help his father in their family business, then.It was a pity that the car accident that had happened when Charlie was eight years old had completely changed his life trajectory. Charlie was not even given the opportunity to finish his undergraduate degree.Charlie could not help but feel a little sad and melancholic as he thought about this.When Jacob saw the melancholic expression on Charlie’s face, he could not help but ask, “Charlie, what’s wrong

Early the next morning.The earliest high-speed train from Sudbury slowly stopped at the Aurous Hill Railway Station.There were an old man and a young man who stepped out of the business cabin at this time. These two people were none other than the Feng Shui master from the United States, Carvalho, and his great-grandson, Mason.After Mason stepped out of the train, he stretched out his hand to support Carvalho as he asked, “Great-Grandpa, have you already made a divination in advance to figure out if our trip to Aurous Hill this time would be a good or bad trip?”Mason knew his great-grandfather very well. He had already been cautious for so many years and so, he had already long formed a habit of his own. As long as he would be traveling, he would always draw a hexagram, to find out whether it would be a good or bad divination before he sets out on his journey.Carvalho was a little hesitant as he said, “I drew a hexagram between 3 am to 5 am in the morning, but this time, the

The taxi driver’s face flushed red in an instant, and he hurriedly said, “How about one thousand five hundred dollars, then?”Mason wanted to continue haggling with the taxi driver. However, Carvalho interrupted him at this time as he said indifferently, “Alright, then. We will give you two thousand dollars for the ride. Mason, pay up.”Mason subconsciously said, “Grandpa, he just said that he will only charge us one thousand and five hundred dollars…”Carvalho said decisively, “Have you already forgotten what I told you earlier? Pay him the two thousand dollars.”Mason suddenly quivered before he nodded immediately before he counted and took out twenty pieces of hundred-dollar bills from his wallet before handing it over to the driver.In fact, Mason was not a stingy person, nor was he unable to afford two thousand dollars. However, he simply felt that he could not accept it when he obviously knew that the taxi driver was trying to make more money out of them.However, when he t

Claire’s words made Charlie’s heart feel very warm.Over the years, Claire had always been very patient and accommodating toward him. Even when everyone was pointing their fingers at him and despising him over the past few years, Claire had never once complained about him, and she had never had any thoughts of divorcing him at all.Now that Claire was saying this from the bottom of her heart, this made Charlie feel even more touched.However, Charlie knew very well that Claire did not know anything about his true identity, his current wealth, or even the ocean shipping business that he had in mind.He assumed that Claire probably thought that he wanted to start a small-scale business when he mentioned the fact that he wanted to do his own business. She did not know that what he wanted to do was actually a large-scale project that was worth tens of billions of dollars.Charlie did not want to worry Claire too much, so he simply smiled and said, “Okay, I will listen to your advice t

Charlie said, “That will not be necessary. The reason why I am calling you is because I want to ask for your advice on certain matters.”Doris hurriedly said, “Young Master, you are being too polite with me. You can just speak up if you have any questions for me, and I will certainly try my best to answer you.”Charlie replied, “I am interested to venture into the ocean shipping industry. It so happens that the Ito family from Japan would be able to provide me with a lot of help and resources. Besides that, I also have a lot of funds in my own hands. So, I want to find an opportunity to start working on this ocean shipping business.”“However, the current problem that I am facing right now is that I cannot find a suitable person to help me to take charge of this project. So, I want to ask you if you have any good ideas, or if you will be able to temporarily help me to build up this ocean shipping business?”“If you can do so, I will not be stingy with your salary, and I will certai

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

Jacob's brain blanked out, leaving only a dull hum as soon as Walker mentioned 'Professor Hall'.Already feeling nervous in the first place, he quickly said, "Okay, okay—I got it. Anyway, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else!"With that, he promptly pressed the button to hang up.Nonetheless, Elaine was soon asking in curiosity, "Who's Professor Hall?"If Jacob had any semblance of composure, he would have said 'a colleague at Senior University' as if it was perfectly natural, and the matter would have been forgotten.But the reality was that he didn't—in fact, he was the champion when it came to dropping the ball as a casual question from Elaine left him sweating all over his brow.Even as he slid nervous glances at her face, he stammered uncontrollably, "N-Nobody…"Elaine promptly noticed his strange reaction and frowned. "I'm talking about Professor Hall. What do you mean, nobody? Who are they? And what's this about an invitation? Inviting you for what?"Seeing that he was

Jacob had really had too much to drink and couldn't remember the later parts of what had happened last night—even how he had gotten home was a blur.Naturally, he also forgot that Walker had brought Matilda's wedding invitation, and therefore didn't hesitate to answer the in-car answer button.Over the phone, Walker was positively fawning as he asked, "Mr. Wilson? It's Walker. Why didn't you come in today? Had too much to drink last night?""Uh-huh," Jacob grunted, lethargic. "I did—my head still hurts now… Anyway, what's up? Trouble at the association?""No, of course not," Walker quickly said. "I was just worried you're still hungover, so I called to ask. If you need a driver or anything, you just need to ask!"Then, before Jacob could answer, he continued, "By the way, my wife is somewhat knowledgable in Oskian medicine, and she has recipes for brews that cure hangovers and nourish the liver. I'm sure you'll need the latter since you're always drinking at social events, so I as

Fortunately, Elaine and Jacob's bickering never escalated.Even though Elaine was winning, Jacob found it tolerable.After Jacob finished his lunch and cleaned up, he never looked up as he said, "Charlie sent a text, saying Claire's flight would touch down earlier at three. We will leave at two."Elaine grumbled. "Why leave so early? She's coming back from abroad, and there'd be checkpoints she has to clear—she'd be lucky if she could leave by half past three. I'm sleeping a few winks now, and we'll leave at half past two."As she left the dining room, she didn't even look back as she said, "Clean up for me too."Jacob had a million complaints but said nothing as he kept his head down, throwing Elaine's lunchbox in the trash can as well.With Elaine gone, he sat on the couch as her hangover slowly cleared while his mood soured with the lack of alcohol.In the end, the pleasure of being fawned over at the Diamond Room was but temporary—the pain of his beloved leaving with someone

Vera kept her plan to investigate the identity of the abbess deep in her mind and told Charlie nothing.Instead, she smiled as she said, "It seems that it's both yours and Ms. Ito's good fortune that she has attained enlightenment. You've never had anyone who could attain enlightenment and master Reiki at the same time, so Ms. Ito will definitely be a great help to you in the future."Charlie chuckled and said calmly, "I'm not hoping for her to help. I'm simply happy for her with her enlightenment and excited to have another comrade in my solo ventures into the dark forests."Vera nodded in understanding, and she murmured emotionally, "I've lived for so long, and it's only when I opened my heart to you that I felt that sensation you described."There was a flicker of wistfulness in her eyes.She really did not expect to attain enlightenment before meeting Charlie.Years ago, she thought that she would eventually avenge her father.Now, she no longer hoped to murder Fleur Griffi
