LOGINCurious, 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
Even as Claire finished, her heart skipped a beat as she mused to herself.Emgrand Group, the Wades, and Charlie Wade… could there be some connection between them?She then remembered her own family having troubles when news spread that Emgrand Group was changing hands. At the time, her grandmother was intent on securing a project with Emgrand, and sent Claire herself as a representative. She didn't know what to do and thought they stood no chance. And yet, to her surprise, Doris Young, the vice chairwoman of Emgrand, had been very approving of her. Not only had Doris awarded Claire the contract, she had even attended the Wilson family's press conference in person.At the time, Claire just couldn't understand what merited such privilege, but it all makes sense if Charlie was indeed connected to the Wades…Getting nervous, she looked up at Jeevika and asked, "Master Jeevika… Are you suggesting that my husband is a member of the Wade family?"Jeevika never answered, instead co
The fog over the truth shall fade!Jeevika's words really struck a chord with Claire.When it came to those questions in her mind, she would never ask them if Charlie didn't volunteer the information, and certainly no third party would answer them.That was why she always kept those questions buried, and used Charlie's logic to reassure herself from time to time.But when Jeevika said 'The fog over the truth shall fade', it felt like a sudden lightning bolt tore through the thick fog clouding the truth, setting a flame to the curiosity she kept repressed.Hence, she looked up enthusiastically at Jeevika. "Please, Master Jeevika. I'd like to know!"Jeevika nodded and said solemnly, "Your husband's destiny is truly one in a billion. That's why he is fated to rise above everyone else in strength and position, worshipped by millions.""Huh…?" Claire frowned. "He's not as impressive as that. He's just had a little success from self-taught Feng Shui, and it's true that major business
Jeevika smiled. "It's alright. Just give me their names and birth date, and I can more or less divine the hour."Claire nodded and asked, "Well, who should I start with?"Jeevika smiled. "Your parents, and then your husband.""Okay."Claire then told Jeevika her parents' names and birthdate, and Jeevika pinched several different fingers to divine for a moment, before smiling, "Their birth hour may see some tribulations fated in life, but overall speaking, they will enjoy wealth, prestige, and longevity.""Really?" Clarie was beside herself in joy. After all, what was life about if not for pursuing wealth, prestige, and longevity? If what Jeevika said was true, she really didn't have to worry about her parents.For his part, Jeevika wasn't just running his mouth either—both Jacob and Elaine did have it hard in their early life. But ever since Charlie became a big fish in a small pond, their lives changed dramatically and didn't lack riches or prestige. Moreover, with Charl
Most of the worshippers coming to Qi Temple would head straight to the Prana Hall or the Vajra Hall, praying there before moving on to the other halls.As Claire entered with Momo, she had no idea where she should go.Momo, however, seemed to have a plan and immediately pointed at a hallway further to the edge of the main hall, smiling mysteriously. "Since we're here to seek providence, we definitely can't follow the crowd. If anything, we should avoid it—it's a select few who gain such privilege, after all!"Claire smiled, shaking her head. "Alright, since you're definitely more experienced than I am—lead the way."Momo nodded repeatedly, hugging Claire's arm and heading down the hallway, making many turns down different paths until they finally arrived at the gates of the Feather Hall.The 'closed for the day' sign had been removed, and Momo pointed inside as she told Claire, "Let's try this place."Claire was bemused. "There are so many different halls in this temple—we can't
Jacob’s concern was straightforward and simple, he was worried that Elaine would return home suddenly in the next two days. His precious chance to invite Matilda over to his house would be thrown out the window if she did return.He wouldn’t dare, even if anyone pointed a gun at him, to invite Matild
The Four Great Guardians were well-known figures in Aurous Hill, and Jayden was the most famous of them all.His nickname in the underworld was Chief Jay.Max never expected that he would run into Jayden’s Phaeton in order to avoid a Porsche Cayenne.He regretted his decision very much.

Christopher plucked up the courage to say, “Mom, even if the court sentences you to prison one day, Harold, Wendy, and I will be able to live a simple and stable life if we have the money. However, if you refuse to take the antiques out of hiding, then the three of us will definitely starve to death
Early the next morning. Claire went to her office after eating breakfast.Jacob sat in the living room, sulking and glowering. He shot a silent and disdainful glare at Elaine when she walked into the living hall.When he thought about the two million dollars that Elaine lost in the silly mahjong game,
