Wendy was feeling so sad and hurt right then.She had invested all her hopes and dreams of a beautiful and happy life on Gerald alone, but he pushed her into the abyss of misery with his own hands!Not only did he dump her after messing up her feelings but he even showed such strong dislike and disgust towards her in front of so many people! It was totally unacceptable! Her wrath of fury nearly exploded right there and then!Gerald was unusually calm and emotionless at her wailing and accusation. He said coldly, “It’s normal to fall in love and break up, what has it to do with respect? Please stop pestering me.”Charlie walked towards them as he assumed Wendy was about to cause a scene.Blood drained from Gerald’s face as Charlie came at them and quickly explained, for fear that Charlie would dismiss him for this situation. “Master Wade, please calm down. It was this shameless b*tch who jumped at me and threw a tantrum…”Wendy glared at the exchange in shock. Gerald, who was qu
Gerald was fully aware that he had nearly offended Master Wade because he was deceived and brainwashed by these fools. Fortunately, Master Wade was the bigger person and forgave his wrongdoings. Otherwise, he would have brought disastrous harm to his entire White family.Now, this shameless Wendy had the nerve to attempt reconciling with him?!It was like pushing him back into the fire pit!He shoved Wendy away and kicked her in the stomach as she fell to the floor and growled, “Wendy Wilson! From now on, get the hell away from me! If you come at me again, I swear to God I’m going to kill you!”Wendy sat on the floor in a trance as if she had been struck by lightning.Looking back at Gerald’s face in a furious grimace, she found it so strange and unfamiliar. He didn’t look like the man who was once in love with her at all.Although Claire was a little agitated by Wendy, they were cousins, after all. She couldn’t bear seeing her being insulted like this, so she said to Gerald, “Mr
Christopher was trembling in fright as Albert growled at him.He had no doubt about Albert’s remarks. As someone who was regarded as the king of the underworld and had ruled the underworld for many years, killing two people was a piece of cake for him.He looked desperately at the two brawny men who were dragging Wendy and went up to Claire to ask for help. “Claire, could you please talk to them? She’s your cousin, how could you just watch her being taken away?”Claire pursed her lips and said to the brawny men, “Please stop, she was confused…she didn’t mean to hurt me…”Claire found Wendy irritating, but they were cousins, after all. She couldn’t bear seeing her being beaten by these men.Albert looked back at Charlie and waited for his orders.Charlie smiled and said, “Why are you looking at me? Listen to what my wife says, then…”Albert ordered his men, “Since Mrs. Wade has stated her view, let them go!”Charlie nodded and turned his gaze at Lady Wilson. “See? I told you, yo
Claire said nervously, “Oh, no, I can’t make you do that…”Charlie took her hand and said with a gentle smile, “Dear, since Miss Young would like to offer her help, just accept her kindness as a form of respect.”“Huh, it’s not that I don’t want to accept her offer, but that’s too much help…”Charlie took the check from Bobby and put it in Claire’s hand. “Since Miss Young said that it’s free, keep the money. Emgrand Group is a large company with a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars, they won’t mind your menial rent. Besides, you’ll have projects and collaborations with them in the future. Let’s not make everything so formal and rigid.”Claire was a little moved when she listened and pondered upon Charlie’s remarks.He was right. Emgrand Group was the largest company in Aurous Hill and the company alone was comparable in scale to the entire Moore family. If she made things complicated with Doris Young because of the hundred and eighty grand check, it might probably make D
“What?!” Claire shrieked in panic. “How’s Dad? Where are you now?”Elaine’s trembling voice echoed with a mixture of shock and sobbing. “We’re at Silverwing Hospital. Your dad was unconscious after the accident, come here quick!”Never did Claire expect to receive such bad news when she was celebrating the grand opening with joy…She cried into the phone, “Okay, I’ll go there right now!”Charlie heard the conversation clearly and realized the seriousness of the matter. He turned to the guests and said, “I’m sorry guys, Claire and I have to leave immediately. Please make yourself comfortable here!”Under normal circumstances, it would be rude for the host to leave the guests aside, but since these people were Charlie’s fans, they didn’t mind it.Hence, Charlie drove his wife straight to the hospital.After he parked the car at the parking spot, they quickly went straight to the ICU. They pushed the ward door open and saw Jacob lying on the bed with his eyes closed tightly. He w
Elaine looked very pale and shocked. She said, “Oh, I’m fine, my head simply hurts a little. The doctor checked on me and he said that I’m okay, it’s just that your father…the truck had hit his side…”She wailed loudly.It was a fatal blow to her that her husband might end up being permanently quadriplegic.After a thorough investigation, Charlie discovered that the muck truck had already escaped after the accident. Elaine and Jacob were unconscious after being hit by the truck, so they couldn’t see the truck’s license plate nor any significant feature of the truck.Later, they were sent to the hospital by Good Samaritans.Elaine’s situation was slightly better. She was sitting in the front passenger seat at the time, so she was unconscious after the accident and suffered some bruises and minor injuries. She woke up after arriving at the hospital.Jacob, on the other hand, was unlucky. Sitting in the driver’s seat, he suffered a major impact as the truck had hit his side and he e
As soon as Elaine heard that Jason had brought a renowned doctor to their ward, she shrieked in excitement and said, “Oh, Jason, thank you so much! Thank you for coming, Dr. Lynch!”Jason smiled lightly and said, “You’re welcome, I’m just offering some help whenever I can.”Then, he turned and respectfully said to Joshua behind him, “Dr. Lynch, this is Uncle Jacob, please check on him.”Joshua stepped forward and said in a confident tone, “Don’t worry, he hurt his spine, didn’t he? Although it sounds like a horrible injury, I can assure you it’s a piece of cake for me.”The doctor gasped in surprise. “As far as I’m concerned, no one can cure spinal injuries. Even the richest people in the world can only lie on the bed after they have injured their spine. Just look at Stephen Hawking—he is so bright and awesome, but he’s only able to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life and can only move three fingers due to motor neuron disease. Why are you so confident?”Joshua laughed an
Elaine’s face twisted into a disdainful grimace and she shouted, “Charlie, just shut up, you loser! Who do you think you are?! You have no say in this!”She shot daggers at Charlie and growled, “Stop messing with Dr. Lynch’s treatment. Get out!”Charlie frowned in dismay.At the same time, he thought, ‘Could it be that Joshua was the first to buy the pill from Zachary? If so, he must be the one who sold the pill to Anthony Simmons for five million dollars, that dishonest and profiteering prick!’Jason must have spent a lot of money to hire him.At this moment, Jason sneered, thinking that he had something on Charlie, “Charlie, you deadbeat loser. You must be pretty good with your mouth, huh, since there’s absolutely nothing you can do here? You and your bluff!”Then, he slapped his hands together as if something struck his mind and said, “Oh, I get it! You questioned Dr. Lynch because you don’t want Uncle Jacob to get better!”“Huh, I’m bluffing?”Charlie could endure Elaine’s
