Jason laughed even louder when he heard Charlie’s words. “Charlie, are you addicted to lying? Do you even know your own place or status at all? Do you really think you have the qualifications to ride in this car?”Jessica also said disdainfully, “Claire, I am honestly disappointed that you have married such a useless person who likes to boast.”At this time, Claire felt completely helpless and could only stare at Charlie with a disappointed expression on her face.Was this guy seriously mentally retarded? Did he truly not understand the consequences of his actions even on an occasion like this?Charlie could not be bothered to explain himself, and so, he simply took out the two smart bracelet keys from his pocket before waving them in front of Luke who was in charge of the auto show. After that, he asked lightly, “Have you seen these before?”Luke was shocked when he saw the smart bracelet keys in Charlie’s hands.After that, he suddenly recalled what Graham had told him over the
Everyone on the scene was shocked when Charlie unlocked the Aston Martin ONE-77 with the smart bracelet key.They could only exclaim in their hearts: The Aston Martin ONE-77 actually belonged to Charlie!Jason was also dumbfounded at this time. What was happening?!Wasn’t Charlie just a broke son-in-law?How could he possibly afford to buy such an expensive car?!Jessica was also stunned. “This… this is unbelievable. How could this man possibly afford to buy an Aston Martin ONE-77 when he was such a poor and useless man?”Then, Charlie led Claire to the passenger seat before smiling and saying, “My dear wife, why don’t you get into the car? I will take you for a spin!”Claire looked at Charlie with a confused expression on her face as she asked, “Charlie, is this car really yours?”Charlie nodded. “Of course. The key is already in my hand. Why would I lie to you?”After saying that, Charlie quickly whispered into her ear, “Wife, to be honest, Graham lent this car to me so that
Jessica was also beaten until her hair was disheveled and her mouth was crooked at this time. Jason could not help but yell out in pain.After beating them up, Luke ordered the security guards to throw them out of the exhibition hall.Jason lay on the concrete floor as he yelled angrily, “D*mn it! Who the hell is this Mr. Wade?!”Jessica also said angrily, “He is just the son-in-law of the Wilson family. I think that he is just a driver. How could he possibly have any status at all?!”Blood was already spewing out of Jason’s mouth as he yelled, “That useless piece of trash! I will never let him off so easily.”Gritting his teeth, he continued, “And Claire! She will never be able to escape from me!”Therefore, the Aston Martin ONE-77 was driven out of the exhibition hall just like that.The super luxurious sports car aroused the attention and curiosity of countless people on the street.Claire also felt that it was a very thrilling and novel experience as this was her first time
After sending his text message, Charlie kept receiving text replies.The first to reply was Jasmine. “Mr. Wade, don’t worry! I will definitely come over to congratulate your wife tomorrow!”After that, Graham replied: “Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Wade. I will definitely come over to join you for the opening ceremony tomorrow!”Zeke replied: “Mr. Wade, I will make sure to bring my son and nephew along with me to congratulate your wife tomorrow! After all, I really want those two rascals to apologize to you in person…”In fact, everyone was very excited to receive Charlie’s invitation because they felt that it was a good opportunity for them to get closer to him.Claire initially had some qualms about her opening ceremony tomorrow. She would never have expected her husband to prepare a grand opening ceremony for her!After getting back home, Claire quickly washed up so that she could rest earlier and prepare for the opening ceremony of her studio tomorrow morning.Charlie al
Claire nodded, the frown between her eyes indicating her anxiety.Soon, from the outside passage, Lady Wilson’s slow walking pace sounded, paired with the sound of her cane hitting the floor. Behind her were Christopher, Harold, and Wendy.Harold, who was beaten up and arrested some time ago, had just been bailed out by Lady Wilson from the police station. Thus, he was full of resentment and hatred as he glared at Charlie.Charlie, of course, couldn’t care less.Today was his wife’s office’s opening ceremony, he didn’t want to have any conflict with these hooligans. He would not jump on them as long as they kept themselves decent.Wendy walked ahead and sneered, “Claire, you didn’t even say hi to grandma, when did you become so rude?”Claire replied flatly, “I was kicked out of the Wilson family, so, in other words, we are not related!”“D*mn it!” Lady Wilson banged her cane to the ground hard and said furiously, “You are a descendant of the Wilson family, and we are related by
Harold smirked and said in a sarcastic tone, “Charlie, go ahead with your drama. I bet your so-called acquaintances are just some low-life gangsters and nobodies. Do you really think you’re so influential and powerful? I don’t believe you’re able to invite any prominent figures!”Wendy chimed in the sarcastic bandwagon. “A loser like Charlie is best at bragging. If no one attends your opening ceremony, you and this office will become Aurous Hill’s laughing stocks. Let’s see how you’ll get jobs or projects then!”Claire didn’t show any expression as she listened to the insults but anxiety slowly brewed in her heart.To put it bluntly, opening ceremonies were occasions that displayed company owners’ network connections and resources.If many guests were to attend the opening ceremony, it would show that the company had a strong business network and foundation especially if VIPs were among the guests. Such news would spread around their circle and many people would regard the company
He was perplexed and casual though. He had already sent an invitation to Emgrand Group, so Doris Young would and must attend.She was probably preparing the gift since she was not here yet!Christopher put on a pompous expression and said, “Well, do you still think you’re so well connected?”It was almost ten o’clock. If there were any guests coming, they would have arrived at the door by then.However, the entrance was empty and quiet. Apparently, no one would show up.Wendy said in a cocky tone, “Dad, the loser said it doesn’t matter if they have no guests today, he alone is enough. I wonder how powerful he is? Does he really think he’s a somebody here in Aurous Hill?”At this moment, the voice from the front desk resonated from a distance away. It seemed that she deliberately raised her voice.“Announcing the arrival of Mr. Travis Lane of Lancaster…”Travis Lane?Charlie was a little bewildered. The last time he had met Travis was when the White family brought Jack Yaleman
Travis Lane’s remarks sent a shock wave across the office and the Wilson family members blinked in astonishment.Did he actually come to congratulate Claire?!He was the richest man in Lancaster!When and how did Charlie and Claire strike up the relationship with him?!Christopher was utterly shocked. He had never expected the man to be so rude to him and snap at him right in front of everyone. Embarrassed, he quickly retreated and stood aside.Wendy frowned in confusion and whispered to Harold, “Hey, is this chubby man really the richest man in Lancaster? Why does he feel like an actor hired to impersonate as a ploy to fool us? Why would any prominent figure be so kind and respectful to a loser…”Harold shook his head and whispered back, “Yeah, I don’t think he’s real too…”None of the people present had ever seen Travis Lane before, but they had heard the rumors about his notoriety and strictness in managing his business. The man looked nothing like the version in the rumors a
At one point, Sonia thought about summoning the courage to go to Charlie and beg him for mercy. But upon the thought of her previous arrogance and outrageous remarks, she resisted the urge. Thus, she became even more depressed and sat cross-legged, staring at the floor. Charlie only needed a glance to notice Sonia's dejection. After all, in a crowd of people cheering excitedly, she sat there silently, looking completely out of place. Charlie knew very well that Sonia's frustration was undoubtedly because he had sealed her meridians. On her own, she no longer had the possibility of further advancement. Recalling her earlier disrespectful remarks, he chalked it up to the personality of a young martial arts fanatic. It wasn't that Charlie was petty or unwilling to let go of past grievances, but the key issue was that he had already opened all of her meridians in one go. If he were to seal them back up, she would instantly become a master at the Great Perfection Realm of Illu
Albert then selected a few students to help him distribute a bottle of oral fluid to everyone. Even Caden, who had already reached the Great Perfection Realm of the Illuminating Realm, got his share. After the distribution, Charlie said, "What you're holding in your hands is a special supplement for strengthening the body and the meridians. After you take it, it will help your cultivation. If you happen to be at the critical stage of a realm breakthrough, you might be able to complete the breakthrough with this bottle of supplement." Everyone was especially excited when they heard that it was a medicine that could improve cultivation. For martial artists, the most valuable things were complete internal capabilities and supplements that could improve strength. Many martial artists spent their entire lives in arduous cultivation without ever receiving the assistance of any medicinal elixir. At times, they could feel that they were just one step away from breaking through to the nex
The people in the audience answered in unison, "Yes!" Some even said loudly, "Not only that, but it is extremely beneficial!" "Yes! The improvement is indeed very significant!" "My personal understanding of martial arts has also become much clearer!" Among the crowd, Sonia gathered the courage to say loudly, "Since coming here, cultivation has truly been twice as effective!" Charlie recognized her voice and curiously asked, "Miss Letterman, you trained under Master Howton too when you were in the United States, and it is the same here. Why does this place make you feel that way?" "I... Uh..." Sonia was taken aback as she did not expect Charlie to direct a question to her, so she stuttered nervously. "I speak only the truth and am not exaggerating. The reason I feel it is twice as effective lies mainly in three factors." With that, she paused briefly, gathered her thoughts, and continued, "The first reason is that when the Taoist Sect was in America, Master Howton was not
The next morning, Charlie met up with Nanako and drove to Champs Elys together. He wanted to send Nanako to the villa halfway up the mountain so that she could concentrate on improving her control of Reiki while he himself would take the oral fluid and distribute it to all the martial arts students. At the same time, Julien had already crossed the Pacific Ocean in a private plane, getting closer and closer to Aurous Hill with only a few hours left. While Charlie was on his way, Caden said to over 400 martial arts students who were doing morning training, "Guys, I have good news for you. Master Wade will come to see you later with gifts. He will give them to you personally." The students were excited upon hearing this. Aurora, Rosalie, the Harker family members, and the members of Ten Thousand Armies all knew that Charlie had a special medicine that could enhance the cultivation of martial arts. Although Sonia wasn't familiar with this, ever since she had arrived in Oskia, she c
Charlie dropped the formalities and said, "Thank you very much then, Miss Fox." "You're welcome, Mr. Wade," Kathleen said. "It's my honor to serve you." After reaching an agreement with Kathleen, Charlie then called Doris. Doris hadn't received a call from Charlie in a long time, so her voice was filled with excitement as she said, "Mr. Wade, what can I do for you?" Charlie replied, "Are you familiar with the situation at Sonfo Valley? I want to acquire the entire area, but I can't do it too conspicuously, so I can't offer a price that's too outrageous to avoid drawing attention. Do you think that will be difficult?" "Sonfo Valley..." Doris thought for a moment before speaking, "Sonfo Valley is an older residential area. After I took over Emgrand, I reviewed the company's previous documents. That land was actually something Emgrand considered competing for initially, but later, they gave up because the surrounding area lacked supporting infrastructure. It's located in the mou
Jacob rolled his eyes in annoyance and jeered, "Do you think money from rich families grows on trees? Working for wealthy people is just about the market price. Are you saying the janitor sweeping the floors at Apple makes a million dollars a year?" "You really have some nerve, Jacob Wilson!" Elaine scoffed and scolded. "How can you compare our sweet daughter to a janitor? So, in your eyes, Claire is on the same level as a janitor at Apple?" "That's not what I meant!" Jacob snapped and quickly explained, "What I'm saying is, even if you're working for Apple, you just earn what you're supposed to earn. Claire has done well in her field, and earning a few million a year is already pretty good. It's only been a short time since she went to the U.S. yet you're already expecting Miss Fox to pay her tens of millions? That's ridiculous!" Elaine rolled her eyes and disdainfully snarled, "Clearly, you don't understand the ways of the world. Miss Fox had Charlie help with Feng Shui multipl
Noticing Elaine's disappointment, Charlie quickly spoke up, "Honey, when are you coming back? Have you set a time?" Claire replied, "I plan to first finalize the project's documents and progress here as well as resolve any outstanding issues. If there's nothing else, I'll go back. If I can't finish today, it will probably be the day after tomorrow at the latest." "Have you checked the flights?" Charlie asked. "Are there any suitable flights for the day after tomorrow?" Claire replied, "Miss Fox suggested arranging her family's private jet to send me back, but I feel bad about it. A flight on a private jet costs over a million, and I can't let them spend that money." Elaine quickly interrupted, "Then just take a regular flight back and let her give you the money for the private jet. Convert it into a million!" Charlie hurriedly said, "They have plenty of planes. Even when they're not in use, they have to be maintained. The actual cost of flying one more trip isn't that high. B
Jacob and Elaine happened to be in the living room, so Charlie waved his phone at them and said, "Mom, Dad, it's Claire. I'll answer it here." The two stopped bickering instantly, and Charlie pressed the answer button. After the call was connected, Claire's beautiful face appeared on the phone screen. Seeing the background, Claire said in surprise, "Honey! You're home!" Charlie nodded. "I just got back today. Let me show you Mom and Dad." As he said that, he turned his phone around and pointed the front camera at Jacob and Elaine. Jacob asked worriedly, "Darling, when will you come back? I miss you!" Elaine interjected hastily, "Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. I miss you too, but it's a great opportunity that you're finally working with the Fox family in America. You must focus on your career. If you want, I can go over to take care of you!" "Mom, this is why I'm calling Charlie," Claire said with a smile. "I just finished the morning meeting with Miss Fox and the
Charlie responded with a smile, "Don't bother. I've already eaten." Jacob quickly stood up, walked over, and asked, "Why were you away for so many days this time?" Charlie answered, "The workload was a bit heavy this time. I visited several houses and factories, mainly because the client has strong financial power." "Wow!" Elaine exclaimed, very pleased, "A client with such strength must have paid quite a bit, right?" "Exactly." Charlie nodded and casually said, "This client was very generous with the payment. They even gave me an extra one million as travel expenses before I left." "My goodness!" Elaine shrieked. "One million just for travel expenses? What kind of godsent client is this?!" Jacob couldn't help but sigh, "Now, this is what it means to be rich. Giving an extra one million, that's just like a tip, right? They're really throwing money around like it's nothing!" At this point, Elaine seemed to remember something and quickly said, "I saw in the news that the yo
