“I have!” Sherry exclaimed. “It’s in the pile of specific information at the back.”“Good!” Kathleen pulled out Charlie’s information immediately, opened it, and saw Charlie’s ID photo immediately.She clenched her fists and shouted excitedly, “It’s really him!” She tapped lightly on Charlie’s head on the photo and murmured, “Hello, Master Wade. We finally met again!”Having said that, she began to look up Charlie’s official information immediately. After a cursory glance, she was left surprised. “There’s no information related to Charlie Wade’s family background?! No parents, grandfather, grandmother, or even any relatives at all? Did he pop out from the cracks of a stone?”Sherry nodded and explained, “Young Lady, Charlie Wade’s life experience is rather pitiful. The official information shows that he was abandoned at birth and was then adopted by Aurous Hill Welfare Institute. The household registration management system was also quite chaotic back then. So, he stayed in the o

Kathleen was unable to find the answer to her question. She frowned and she remained silent for a long time as she thought about the possibilities.When Sherry saw the serious and somewhat distressed expression on Kathleen’s face, she asked, “Young Lady, what are your thoughts on this matter now?”Kathleen sighed as she stared at the pile of documents in front of her. She rubbed her temples with her slender and fair hand, and said despondently, “Judging from these materials, starting from Lady Wilson, the total assets of the entire Wilson family combined would only be more than one hundred million dollars.”“If Charlie Wade really is the maker of the Rejuvenating Pill that I’m looking for, then even just one of his pills would probably be worth tens of billions of US dollars!”“In that case, his own strength is more than hundreds or thousands of times stronger than the Wilson family! Why would he willingly be a live-in son-in-law of the Wilson family?”She added, “It’s just like a

He had gotten used to the mediocrity in his life, and had not done anything dignified in fifty years. Now he was attending various formal meetings and seeing various leaders and elites every day as the second-in-command of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. All this gave him the illusion that he, too, was an elite.This afternoon, the representatives of the Calligraphy and Painting Association went to the city again for another meeting. This time, it was to communicate the details of the Korean exchange with the fellow members of the Music and Arts Association, the Writers’ Association, and also the Senior University.This meeting was not only attended by Jacob, who was representing the Calligraphy and Painting Association, but also by Jacob’s first love, Matilda. An old classmate of Charlie’s mother as well as Autumn’s father, Yolden, was also present on behalf of the Senior University.Matilda and Yolden were both doctorate holders who returned to Oskia from the United Stat

Seeing Mr. Bay’s excitement, Jacob grew curious. However, he was still a little listless as he asked, “What happened, Mr. Bay? What is it that’s making you so happy?”Mr. Bay said with great excitement, “The secretary of the association called me and said that an overseas Oskian wants to donate eight pairs of works from the calligrapher, Finnegan Jonas, to the Calligraphy and Painting Association, under instructions from her grandfather!”“Finnegan Jonas?” Jacob repeated, wearing a bewildered expression. “Is that a very famous person?”When Mr. Bay heard this, he was dumbfounded. He really didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. “Jacob… I already told you, didn’t I? You’re the vice chairman of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. It doesn’t matter if you’re not talented in either calligraphy or painting, but you have to at least have some knowledge. Whenever you’re free, you should read more and study the works of ancient and modern calligraphy and paintings. You don’t even

Mr. Bay did not know of Jacob and Matilda’s past. He only knew that both of them were originally acquainted with each other, and that they were also old classmates.Jacob also had a family, and Mr. Bay understood this very well. Therefore, he had never once expected Jacob to have feelings for Matilda. But upon seeing Jacob’s annoyance over how close Matilda seemed with Yolden, Mr. Bay came to an immediate realization.However, Jacob was a complete and utter coward. How would he dare to admit the truth when exposed in such an untimely manner?!Jacob quickly waved his hand and hurried to say, “No, no such thing. I simply think that Yolden Hart is not good enough for Matilda, Mr. Bay.”Mr. Bay nodded. Then he added seriously, “Jacob, it’d be best if you don’t have such thoughts! Our Calligraphy and Painting Association is also a semi-official organization, and we are representing the face of the cultural field. You’re also a married man. If you were to be involved in a scandal or

Soon, Mr. Bay and Jacob arrived at the Calligraphy and Painting Association building.Kathleen Fox had been waiting for them for a long time. Once Mr. Bay returned, the secretary led him and Jacob to the meeting room, and then introduced them to Kathleen.“Ms. Jane, this is the president and vice-president of the calligraphy and painting association, Mr. Bay and Mr. Wilson.”Then, the secretary introduced Kathleen to them, “Mr. Bay and Mr. Wilson, I called earlier about a French Oskian lady. This is Ms. Jane, Kylie Jane.”Kathleen did not use her real identity to be on the safe side. For her, she had plenty of completely legal and real identities in several countries. Her identity as Kylie Jane, a French Oskian lady, was just one of many.Kathleen glanced at Jacob, and relief washed over her. She could finally get in touch with Jacob! Now, she would have the chance to find out about Jacob’s son-in-law, Charlie.She stood up politely and said with a smile, “Dear sirs, I’ve final

Kathleen heard Jacob’s empty praises, and firmly believed that the man was faking it.Even so, she went along with him. “Mr. Wilson, you’re absolutely right. This is indeed a marvelous work. Although incomparable with the likes of the top calligraphers such as Xephr Walker, it’s still one of the best artworks connected to Aurous Hill.”At the same time, Jacob approached Mr. Bay and casually asked, “President, how much are these worth?”Mr. Bay answered sternly, “Finnegan Jonas’s works aren’t as high-valued as compared to the world’s top calligraphers. However, the auction price of excellent works had gone up to at least one million dollars and above recently. Besides, as you’re already aware, anything that’s in a complete set carries a higher value in the collector’s eyes. If the works are sold in a complete series, the price will become more expensive! If anyone were to put the Octad series for auction, it can be sold for at least tens of millions of dollars!”Jacob was stunned. H

Mr. Bay thought about the dinner and immediately said, “Ms. Jane, you’re an important patron to our association. Let us treat you to dinner tonight instead!”Kathleen was well aware of the rules of socializing. One should be polite in accepting another’s favor whenever required, but reject firmly if deemed inappropriate.Using a dinner invitation as an example, if the other party was just extending the invite as a courtesy, one should politely thank their kindness and reject firmly. Then, both parties would be able to keep the exchange pleasant and end it happily.If the other party was sincere in the invitation, one would not need to be overly polite or worry about paying for the treat. To gladly accept the other party’s invitation would be the greatest respect to the other party.With that in mind, Kathleen replied with a sweet smile, “Mr. Bay, if you put it that way, I’ll gladly accept your offer. I’m looking forward to it!”Mr. Bay patted himself on the chest and said, “Leave

However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you

The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,

Elaine may have led a life as if she was above the rules, but beneath that tough exterior lay crippling insecurities and a horrific inferiority complex.She was always afraid of being belittled—but more than that, of being ostracized and betrayed.Over the years, the greatest source of her complexes could all be traced back to Matilda.After all, Matilda had been a star back in their school days. Because Elaine was a close friend of hers, many boys would get chummy with Elaine, but only because they were interested in Matilda.Being from a poor farmer's family, Elaine had been scorned plenty and therefore felt exceedingly inferior around Matilda.It was from that sense of inferiority that Elaine had inadvertently developed a one-sided rivalry against Matilda, and she believed her greatest triumph over Matilda in this life was the moment she had stolen Jacob from her.However, while Elaine presumed that she could hold that victory over Matilda's head, Lady Wilson had soured that v

Moreover, given Elaine's ridiculous temper, Jacob knew she would definitely go overboard and destroy him.He wouldn't even have a place to live at that point, and it would really be game over if she held a grudge and stormed the Calligraphy and Painting Association!Under such circumstances, he couldn't ask for a divorce—hell, he might even refuse a divorce if Elaine asked for one!However, that was when Elaine laughed coldly. "Oh, my… You're really not going to divorce me?""Come on—how long were we married?" Jacob quickly reasoned. "Getting divorced at our age? People would laugh at us."Elaine scoffed. "Now I'm curious… Matilda's quite old too, and she's a divorcee marrying again. Won't people laugh at her?""Technically, she's a widow—"Jacob blurted out, but soon turned pale, tensing up again not a second after he had just calmed down, asking gingerly, "W-Why would you suddenly mention her?'Elaine stopped pretending right then and snapped, "It's actually impressive that y

Horrified, Jacob promptly grasped the steering wheel and brought the Cullinan back under control while not hesitating to snap, "Are you crazy?! We're on the highway—that could have killed the both of us!"However, Elaine ignored him and seized the moment to open the armrest box, pulling out the large white envelope.As she opened it, she muttered, "So, it really was a wedding invitation… You really are a terrible friend, Jacob Wilson, hiding a wedding invitation like this! What's the point? Just look at that nervous face of yours—would I suspect you of having an affair with the bride-to-be?"She flipped open the card and was experienced enough to check the names first while disregarding the usual preamble. She wouldn't care about the venue or the time either, focusing solely on the professor who had somehow made Jacob very nervous.That was how Elaine found the names in less than a second: Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall.Matilda?!The name could well be knives stabbing Elaine in th

Jacob's brain blanked out, leaving only a dull hum as soon as Walker mentioned 'Professor Hall'.Already feeling nervous in the first place, he quickly said, "Okay, okay—I got it. Anyway, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else!"With that, he promptly pressed the button to hang up.Nonetheless, Elaine was soon asking in curiosity, "Who's Professor Hall?"If Jacob had any semblance of composure, he would have said 'a colleague at Senior University' as if it was perfectly natural, and the matter would have been forgotten.But the reality was that he didn't—in fact, he was the champion when it came to dropping the ball as a casual question from Elaine left him sweating all over his brow.Even as he slid nervous glances at her face, he stammered uncontrollably, "N-Nobody…"Elaine promptly noticed his strange reaction and frowned. "I'm talking about Professor Hall. What do you mean, nobody? Who are they? And what's this about an invitation? Inviting you for what?"Seeing that he was

Jacob had really had too much to drink and couldn't remember the later parts of what had happened last night—even how he had gotten home was a blur.Naturally, he also forgot that Walker had brought Matilda's wedding invitation, and therefore didn't hesitate to answer the in-car answer button.Over the phone, Walker was positively fawning as he asked, "Mr. Wilson? It's Walker. Why didn't you come in today? Had too much to drink last night?""Uh-huh," Jacob grunted, lethargic. "I did—my head still hurts now… Anyway, what's up? Trouble at the association?""No, of course not," Walker quickly said. "I was just worried you're still hungover, so I called to ask. If you need a driver or anything, you just need to ask!"Then, before Jacob could answer, he continued, "By the way, my wife is somewhat knowledgable in Oskian medicine, and she has recipes for brews that cure hangovers and nourish the liver. I'm sure you'll need the latter since you're always drinking at social events, so I as

Fortunately, Elaine and Jacob's bickering never escalated.Even though Elaine was winning, Jacob found it tolerable.After Jacob finished his lunch and cleaned up, he never looked up as he said, "Charlie sent a text, saying Claire's flight would touch down earlier at three. We will leave at two."Elaine grumbled. "Why leave so early? She's coming back from abroad, and there'd be checkpoints she has to clear—she'd be lucky if she could leave by half past three. I'm sleeping a few winks now, and we'll leave at half past two."As she left the dining room, she didn't even look back as she said, "Clean up for me too."Jacob had a million complaints but said nothing as he kept his head down, throwing Elaine's lunchbox in the trash can as well.With Elaine gone, he sat on the couch as her hangover slowly cleared while his mood soured with the lack of alcohol.In the end, the pleasure of being fawned over at the Diamond Room was but temporary—the pain of his beloved leaving with someone

Vera kept her plan to investigate the identity of the abbess deep in her mind and told Charlie nothing.Instead, she smiled as she said, "It seems that it's both yours and Ms. Ito's good fortune that she has attained enlightenment. You've never had anyone who could attain enlightenment and master Reiki at the same time, so Ms. Ito will definitely be a great help to you in the future."Charlie chuckled and said calmly, "I'm not hoping for her to help. I'm simply happy for her with her enlightenment and excited to have another comrade in my solo ventures into the dark forests."Vera nodded in understanding, and she murmured emotionally, "I've lived for so long, and it's only when I opened my heart to you that I felt that sensation you described."There was a flicker of wistfulness in her eyes.She really did not expect to attain enlightenment before meeting Charlie.Years ago, she thought that she would eventually avenge her father.Now, she no longer hoped to murder Fleur Griffi
