Chanel’s dress had the style of a British royal princess. The lower body was a knee-length skirt, while the upper body was in the style of a long-sleeved small suit, and it had the luxurious style of a young lady of note.The reason why Charlie chose this kind of clothing was mainly because the weather was still a little cold now. So, this kind of dress, that would be suitable for spring and autumn, would be just right.Although the skirt for this kind of dress was very long, if someone were to wear it with their bare legs, it would certainly be a little cold. So, Charlie bought a pair of black pantyhose for her.After choosing the size according to Autumn’s height in his memory, he was about to pay the bill and leave. At this time, he suddenly remembered that the pair of sneakers that Autumn had been wearing yesterday was too dirty. So, he bought her another pair of size 37 white fashion leather shoes.Charlie did not know whether the size would be right for her or not, but it did
Charlie did not know what was wrong with the lingerie that he had bought. This was because he had simply taken a single glance from the front, and since he was thinking of getting things done as fast as possible, he had simply pointed at it in passing.However, if he were to go around and take a look at the back, he would have realized that the underwear for the lower body was actually a T-shaped thong, formed out of two strings.After he was done buying the clothes, Charlie returned to the hotel wing. When he saw that there was still no movement at all from Autumn’s room even though it was already twelve noon, Charlie went directly to her room door and pressed on the doorbell.The doorbell rang for several minutes before Autumn woke up groggily.As she awoke, she stretched her waist beautifully, and her entire body felt indescribably comfortable all over.After that, she wrapped a bathrobe around herself, and she was still feeling sleepy and not fully awake as she came to the doo
For women, a pantyhose was an absolutely indispensable intimate apparel. It not only could be used to set off the women’s figure and temperament, but it could also be used to keep warm.Years ago, women would rarely be seen wearing dresses in winter because the premise of wearing a dress was to ensure and maintain the temperature of the legs. However, it would be really strange to wear a dress on the upper body and a pair of trousers on the lower body. It would be even more ridiculous to wear a dress on the upper body paired off with a pair of long johns on the lower body. It was not only until the popularization of leggings and pantyhose that this problem was eventually solved.However, although pantyhose had already become relatively common, Autumn had never received a pair of pantyhose from any man before.Therefore, she more or less had a subtle and mysterious feeling about this.Nevertheless, Autumn knew very well that this was Charlie’s way of showing his care and concern. Ot
As soon as the package was opened, there were two individually wrapped plastic bags lying inside.When Autumn saw the two pure black lingerie with lace on the edge, her shy and embarrassed face became hot.Although she had already guessed that it would be lingerie, she did not expect that it would be black lingerie with lace.In truth, Autumn had never worn such fancy and over-the-top lingerie. She had always been very pragmatic, and she liked to wear lingerie made out of comfortable materials and pure colors. After all, in her opinion, comfort was the most important thing.However, since Charlie had already bought it, she had no other choice either. So, she could only summon up her courage to open up the package as she thought to herself, ‘No matter what it is, I’ll just wear it to go out first. All of my personal belongings are in the United States, and some of my luggage is in Syria. I did not bring anything back to Oskia with me this time. So, I can only purchase more items in
...Ten minutes later, the doorbell in Charlie’s room rang.He opened the door to see Autumn, who had already taken on an entirely new look.Autumn, who had already put on the Chanel customized dress paired off with the pantyhose and white leather shoes, looked very noble and reserved.In fact, her dress had been worn by the commoner princess who had been very popular in Europe in a public event some time ago. It truly showed off her temperament and taste.But who would have known that under Autumn’s noble and reserved dressing would be a set of lingerie that made even Autumn herself feel very ashamed? Charlie did not know what was going on inside her head. When he saw that she was dressed very appropriately, he could not help but say in a very smug and satisfied manner, “Oh! It seems as though I’ve got really good taste. This dress is really perfect for you, and it seems as though the size is appropriate too!”Autumn’s face immediately flushed red until the base of her neck.
Charlie slowly drove into the Aurous University of Finance and Economics. At this time, it was already the university’s lunch break. Many students were walking on the campus ground. Most of them were walking toward the cafeteria and their dormitories, and some of them seemed to be heading out of the university to eat.Autumn asked Charlie, “Mr. Wade, would my father have already gone out to eat lunch? Should we contact him first?”Charlie nodded before he smiled and said, “I’ll call him in a short while. You should not say anything at all.”Autumn knew that Charlie simply wanted to give her father a surprise. So, she immediately agreed, “Okay…”Charlie parked the car below the administrative office building. After that, he called Yolden via WhatsApp.As soon as the voice call request was sent, the other party answered the call immediately. Immediately after that, Yolden’s voice came over the other end of the line, “Charlie, how are things over there?! Is there any progress?”Char
He knew that he did not have the ability to save his daughter and that he might not even be able to reach the place where his daughter was currently being detained. However, he hoped that he would be able to be closer to her. That way, he would be able to find some comfort in his heart.Just as he was feeling very restless and anxious, there was suddenly a knock on his door. Yolden’s chaotic thoughts were forcibly interrupted, and he could only walk to the door as he stretched out his hand to open the door.As soon as the door was opened, he saw a young and fashionable woman standing outside his door, but the woman was wearing a mask. He could not see her appearance, so he asked in surprise, “Hello. May I know what I can do for you?”Yolden did not recognize his daughter, who was standing in front of him.It was not to say that Yolden and his daughter were unfamiliar with each other, but in his memory, his daughter, Autumn, would not usually wear this kind of fashionable and femi
When Yolden heard Autumn’s words, he was instantly shocked. When he saw Autumn’s face, he yelled out loud in horror and shock, “Autumn?! Is it truly you?!”Although Autumn was standing right in front of him, deep down in his heart, Yolden could not truly believe that this woman in front of him was indeed his own daughter. This was because deep down in his heart, Yolden firmly believed that his daughter was still in Syria at this time.There was no way she could suddenly appear in front of him now.This was especially so since he had just spoken to Charlie just now, and even Charlie had not seen her yet.Moreover, the United States had not sent anyone over there to rescue them. So, it would simply be impossible for the Syrian armed opposition force, who had held his daughter hostage, to simply release her and let her go.Nevertheless, even if the Syrian armed opposition force were to truly be so compassionate and merciful, there was no way Autumn could appear back in Aurous Hil
If Matilda still had feelings for Jacob, his nostalgic strategy would definitely have a strong impact. However, Matilda had already decided to move on, so Jacob's suggestion did not stir any emotions in her at all. With an apologetic smile, she said, "Sorry, Jacob, Yolden is downstairs waiting for me. We have something to discuss. How about another day? We can have dinner together, and I'll treat you." Jacob didn't expect the nostalgia strategy to fall flat. His original plan was to use nostalgia to get Matilda to go with him to eat near the school, then take the opportunity to revisit old places and subtly reignite their past memories. After all, revisiting old places was the best way to rekindle old feelings, no exceptions. It was like drinking the pasta water after cooking the pasta. However, he never imagined that Matilda's expression wouldn't change in the slightest. There was no shyness, no hesitation, no nervousness, and certainly no fluttering heart. She simply and
Matilda had been listening attentively before, but now, she was lowering her head, fiddling with her phone, and her expression even carried a hint of shyness and happiness, like that of a young girl. Jacob felt a pang of jealousy. While doing the presentation, he couldn't help but resentfully think to himself, "What has Matilda been chatting about with that Yolden guy? She's so happy..." At that moment, Matilda had just received a message from Yolden. In the message, Yolden informed her of the outcome of his conversation with Charlie and expressed his desire to have the wedding as soon as possible. Seeing how eager her beloved was to marry her, Matilda naturally felt very touched. At that moment, she had completely fallen into Yolden's love. For this man, who had a similar background, education, values, and even lifestyle to her own, she could find no fault with him. She felt that he was perfectly tailor-made for her by heaven itself, almost as if everything about him perfectly m
Charlie's worries were not unfounded. He had long known that Jacob had not completely given up on Matilda despite her relationship with Yolden. After returning from the cultural exchange in Korea, Jacob had been more dejected than ever before—something he hadn't even displayed when his family had gone bankrupt. If there was still a chance to salvage the relationship when one's beloved was merely dating someone else, their marriage was tantamount to a death sentence. Furthermore, considering the high intellectual backgrounds of Matilda and Yolden as well as their age and life experience, their decision to marry at this stage of life undoubtedly signaled their intention to build a long-term future together. This left Jacob with absolutely no chance at all. At this moment, Jacob was blissfully unaware of the devastating news and was busy conducting a calligraphy and painting workshop at Senior University. The so-called workshop was essentially a few slides showcasing classic
After that, Charlie asked with a bit of curiosity, "When did you and Matilda decide to get married?" Yolden smiled sheepishly and explained, "Remember when the city organized our cultural exchange trip to South Korea? I confessed to Matilda during that trip, and she accepted. After spending some time together, we both felt we were a great match. Considering our age, we didn't want to delay such an important decision any longer, so we decided to take the next step and build a family together." He continued, "Last month, we went to Lambonear for a few days. I bought a ring and proposed to her by the seaside, and she said yes. We also sought the opinion of our respective children—Autumn and Paul—and they were both very supportive. Both kids are exceptional and independent, so they urged us to have the wedding as soon as possible. I wanted to wait until you returned so I could check your schedule. For our wedding, we'd like to ask you to be our officiant." "What? Me as the officiant?
Charlie said without hesitation, "Sure. When is it convenient for you? Send me the address, and I'll go meet you." Charlie had always respected Yolden not only because he was a nice and talented man but also because he and his mother went way back and went to the same school. Yolden said hastily, "I've just come from Senior University. It's the weekend, and I don't have classes today. Why don't you send me the address and I'll meet you?" Charlie gave it some thought. It was a little past 3 p.m., so Yolden had likely already had lunch, and there were still a few hours until dinner. Inviting him to The Heaven Springs didn't seem ideal for a discussion. Considering that he had lived in the United States for many years and probably had a habit of having coffee in the afternoon, Charlie said, "How about this? There's a Starbucks not far south of the university. Let's meet there for a cup of coffee." "Perfect!" Yolden said with a smile. "I was just thinking you could give me an addre
On the way back to The Heaven Springs, Julien was in a much better mood than when he had arrived. Initially, he was filled with anxiety, unsure of what Charlie had planned. But now, everything had become clear. The troublesome matter of Salem and Edmund was no longer his concern. All he had to do was wait for the video from the ship to be released and then head back home. Charlie noticed his improved mood and smiled as he asked, "Julien, you've resolved the most critical matter right after landing in Aurous Hill. You must be feeling pretty happy, right?" Julien chuckled and said, "To be honest, before coming here, I was worried that I'd end up going back empty-handed and being secretly mocked by others. But now, it's different. Once your video is released, no one can blame me for not doing my job. If anything, they can only blame their family for missing their chance. After all, so much time has passed, and it's their fault Salem and Edmund were moved to the Middle East." As he
"Good." With a light nod, Charlie turned to Jiro and spoke up, "Jiro, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself." "Okay, Mr. Wade!" Jiro beamed excitedly. "Please tell me what to do! I promise I will do my best to serve you." Charlie smiled and said, "Once the ship is ready, you'll board it together with them. Your only task is to keep a close watch on them the entire time. Don't let them pull any tricks. If you succeed, you'll be a free man here. You'll get a basic monthly salary and can ask for anything you like within reason—so long as it's not contraband, it will be yours." Hearing this, Jiro was so thrilled that he trembled all over. His current treatment was already decent, but he was still only a semi-free man. He didn't dare casually set foot on the ground outside. If he could become a truly free man, he would be able to enjoy the sunlight outdoors freely. More importantly, from then on, he would have a salary. Although he couldn't personally go out shopping, having a sa
Julien had uncovered Charlie's true identity quite some time ago and investigated Charlie's background. He was well aware that Charlie had become the head of the Wade family and that the Acker family fully supported him. Although the outside world believed that Ten Thousand Armies had subdued the Wade family, Julien had witnessed Charlie's methods firsthand. Even the top two figures of the Rothschild family had been toyed with by Charlie, so how could Ten Thousand Armies possibly make him surrender? Thus, Julien deduced that Ten Thousand Armies was undoubtedly Charlie's covert tool. Considering the combined strength of the Wade family, the Acker family, and Charlie's personally cultivated forces, it was evident that Charlie even had the power to contend with the entire Rothschild family. Moreover, with the life-extending pill in his possession and the life of the Rothschild family head in his hands, Charlie's chances of prevailing in a confrontation against the Rothschilds were e
Enraged, Julien cursed while angrily raising his leg, "Damn it! How dare you negotiate your terms now?!" Charlie stopped him and said, "Calm down. 1 billion dollars is quite a good amount. You offer 100 million, he offers 1 billion—doesn't that mean I'll make 1.1 billion?" Dumbfounded, Julien said, "Mr. Wade, how can you even take that money? Wouldn't taking the money expose you?" Charlie smiled and said, "That's simple. I'll give you a plan that not only makes your task impossible to complete but also gives me a chance to collect the money. What do you think?" "What's the idea?" Julien asked in surprise. Charlie replied, "Here's the plan, I'll have someone put these two on a cargo ship bound for the Middle East. Once the ship passes Sri Lanka and enters the Arabian Sea, I'll have them record a video with the endless ocean as the backdrop. In the video, they'll inform their family to prepare 1 billion dollars. The money will be transferred directly in cryptocurrency." "Once
