ANMELDENStephen smiled wryly. "Far as I know, even ten Master Charlie as he is now won't stand a chance."His face was wrinkled, but his eyes were clear looked Claire straight in the eye and sighed, "Please, Mrs. Wade. That is why I'm asking that you leave Master Charlie for the time being. He never told you anything because he didn't want to get you involved—to protect you. "However, it also puts him under a lot of pressure and distracts him. Surely you remember the time when your mother went missing for a while?"Claire nodded. "Yeah, she was tricked into a pyramid scheme…""That's not actually the case," Stephen smiled, shaking his head. "Your mother stole Master Charlie's debit card, which contained ten billion Oskian dollars that Jeremiah Wade entrusted me to wire into his account. Once your mother managed to find the pin code, she wired all the money to herself."Master Charlie was therefore worried he would be exposed, and lied that it was a fake debit card to cover his tracks. He
Even before Claire could understand what Jeevika was saying, she could see the withering flowers coming to life again.The flowers that had turned ashen brown were suddenly vibrant and colorful again, the dried twigs and petals fresh and alive.Having never seen anything like that before, Claire was left completely dumbfounded.In her mind, life once lost couldn't be regained.So why was Jeevika able to restore life to those flowers?It really shattered everything she was taught for years, or what she thought of this world.But soon, she could even smell the faint fragrant scent of the flowers—it was fresh and natural. It was no sleight of hand—it was definitely nothing short of pure magic!Gaping at Jeevika, she blurted, 'H-How did you do this? How are you capable of such miracles?""Amitabha," Jeevika replied calmly. "But such paltry sticks are insignificant to Master Charlie's power."Claire was even more dumbstruck at that. "You're saying… Charlie can do this too?!""Of
As Claire didn't answer, Stephen continued, "And what if I told you that the enemy's dead soldiers are stationed everywhere across the world, hiding in places that no one would ever think to find? That they are ready to kill—even if it means getting killed in return? Do you still think the law can protect Master Charlie?"And what if I told you that the enemy is an endlessly sadistic demon who lived four hundred years strong, whose mystical powers stand above the rest of the world? Do you still think the law can protect Master Charlie?"Claire blurted in shock, "T-That's impossible! This is the real world, not some fantasy! No one could live for four hundred years, or wield mystical powers!"Pausing, her expression cooled as it soon occurred to her, and she said solemnly, "You can be frank if you believe that I don't deserve Charlie, or it's Charlie who thinks that. I can leave anytime you need without dragging my feet, so don't you think it's ironic you'd use such excuses to beguil
Claire felt like her world just turned upside down.Never could she have expected that Charlie wasn't just the heir to the Wades of Eastcliff, that he was born into such devastating tragedy and conspiracy.The Wades of Eastcliff were already amongst the strongest families in Oskia, while Charlie's own parents were the most famous Oskian prodigies in the world. However, even they couldn't survive against the enemies who lurked in the shadows, and were forced to send Charlie to an orphanage, burying his identity to keep him safe.At that point, one must consider how terrible Curtis Wade and Ashley Acker's enemies were.Knowing that, Claire couldn't care less to nitpick on the many lies Charlie told her, and asked worriedly, "Is that syndicate still after Charlie now?""Yes!" Stephen nodded repeatedly, his tone solemn. "If they know that he's alive, they will hunt him down however they can!"Claire balled her knuckles before she knew it in rage. "How could they bear so much animosit
Curious, Stephen asked, "Have you met your husband at that time?""Yes," Claire nodded. "Charlie used to work for my grandfather in his construction projects, and my grandfather took a liking to him, and introduced us. He even sponsored Charlie to study in the same college as myself, and was really insistent that I marry him after we graduated. No one could say no."Stephen smiled and asked, "Do you know why?"Claire drew a blank. "I'm not sure… Maybe my grandfather admires him a lot? He never told me the reason, only that I'd lose nothing marrying Charlie."Stephen smiled and nodded. "Your grandfather was Dylan Wilson, if I remember right? His parents had high hopes for him to lead them out of poverty to a life of riches, I believe?"Claire was taken aback. "H-How'd you know?"Stephen smiled and answered her question with a question. "Do you know how he made a living in his younger days?"Claire thought about it. "It's alleged that he was a slave for a really rich family, who t
Claire's stomach was churning.If Charlie really was the heir to the Wades of Eastcliff, a lot of questions in her mind could be answered.For example, why would Doris Young of Emgrand Group treat her like royalty, or think so highly of her at all?She never understood it, but if she presumed that Charlie was the heir to the Wades of Eastcliff, it all made sense.Once Charlie claimed his birthright, Doris would be nothing more than his employee.And as Charlie's wife, it was natural that Doris would afford her such special privilege.There was also the question of why Zeke White would give Charlie a villa in Thompson First, where she and her family resided now. And afterward, just consulting Charlie about Feng Shui would cost upward of millions of Oskian dollars, while their villa was worth upward of a few hundred million.Moreover, there was Shangri-La, the chain of superluxurious five-star hotels, owned by the Wades.Claire then remembered how Charlie rented their hanging gar
The news that Emgrand Group had blacklisted the Wilson Group spread around Aurous Hill quickly.At this time, everyone in Aurous Hill already knew that the Wilson family was finished. News that the old lady had been admitted to the hospital as soon as she heard about the fate of the Wilson Group also
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
The news about Charlie’s refining magical elixir spread like wildfire among several upper class families in Aurous Hill.Zeke White of the White family, Finn Baxendale of Treasure Pavilion, and Don Albert Rhodes of Heaven Springs heard the news. They were eager to ask Charlie for the medicine, but Ze
Jasmine had only told the truth. She really did think that the new chairman of Emgrand Group was a mysterious man.After all, he had been able to acquire a group that was worth over a hundred billion just because he wanted to. Moreover, he hadn’t shown his face at all throughout this process. It woul
