Chapter 3883

Author: Lord Leaf
“That’s good.” Charlie nodded in satisfaction and turned to ask Zayne, “Nothing unusual was found on the scene today, right?”

Zayne shook his head and said in a hurry, “Mr. Wade, I’ve arranged my capable subordinates to install many hidden cameras as well as thermal imaging and life monitoring systems that use the most cutting-edge technology around the hotel. There are also quite a number of soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies hiding in the shadows. They’d never let any suspicious person enter Shangri-La.”

“Good.” Charlie smiled, pleased. “With the Ten Thousand Armies taking charge, I’m completely at ease with the security here with the brothers .”

Zayne beamed. “We’ll do our best to ensure that the security of the auction is flawless, Mr. Wade!”

Charlie gave him a nod of approval. Just then, his cell phone suddenly rang.

The caller was Kathleen, the fourth VIP of the night.

As soon as the call was connected, Kathlee’s voice came from the phone. “Hello, Mr. Wade. I’m at the entran

    Kathleen had long known of the process and requirements regarding the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill.However, she still pretended to be surprised in front of Charlie as she listened to his explanation.Charlie was also playing along with her, deliberately pretending to be convinced that she was Kylie Jane from France, not Kathleen Fox. Charlie had no intention to expose Kathleen’s identity. He wanted to go along with her act, and wait for her to take the initiative to explain the truth to him.With these thoughts in mind, the two soon arrived at the security inspection channel at the entrance of the ballroom. Charlie handed a VIP invitation to Kathleen. “Miss Jane, take this invitation and give this to the staff when you go in. The staff will take you directly to the private room on the second floor.”Kathleen asked in surprise, “Mr. Wade, aren’t you going in together with me?”Charlie laughed. “I have a VIP invitation, but my status here is not as a VIP. Rather, I’m a co

    Jasmine nodded shyly and mumbled, “Actually… I’m mainly afraid I won’t do well and let you down, Master Wade…”Charlie laughed good-naturedly. “That won’t happen. Today is our seller’s market. As long as you take out the Rejuvenating Pill, they’ll still go through thick and thin just to participate in the auction next year, even if we do a lousy job. You should be bold and confident! There’s no need to worry whether you'll do good or bad.” At his encouragement, the tense knot in Jasmine’s heart came undone. Feeling better, she gave him a small nod and said determinedly, “Okay, Master Wade. I understand!”Charlie hummed in approval. He recalled something and added, “By the way, Jasmine. I was originally planning to invite your grandfather to this auction today as a VIP. After thinking about it, you’ve just taken over Moore Group. I figured it’s better to let you stand out and present yourself properly as the new head of the Moore family on this occasion. It’d be too overwhelming for

    Meanwhile, in the ballroom.There were more than four hundred people inside, and it wasn’t noisy at all. Rather, the place was completely silent. Officially, there were two hundred participants participating in the auction, with two hundred more accompanying them. In addition, there were ten back-up candidates ready to fill in any time. They saw many familiar figures among themselves. The strict discipline of the venue required them to only gesture to each other with their eyes and nod while maintaining absolute silence, even if they saw their acquaintances.They looked at the digital clock hanging on the wall. The time was already 7.40 p.m., and the crowd was impatient for the auction to start. There were still twenty minutes to go. Twenty minutes later, a violent fight with money as weapons would set off officially!Just then, the entrance of the venue opened and a beautiful young woman in a white satin cheongsam strode elegantly into the venue.Her appearance elicited a cry

    When the old queen heard Jasmine calling her name, she stood still and stroked her chest as she took several deep breaths. It was only then that she gathered her courage and stepped into the ballroom.She enjoyed a high social status in Europe, but to the rich and powerful in North America, Middle East, and Asia, she was just a poor old lady with an empty noble title. A very interesting scene unfolded immediately as she showed herself to the audience. The European aristocrats among the crowd stood up and bowed slightly to show their respect, but the rest of the crowd were filled with disdain.Just as the old queen entered the venue, Jeremiah, who was outside the door, greeted Chandler respectfully.“Old Master Lennard, we’ve finally met again!”Chandler nodded, and replied with the same politeness and respect, “How have you been, Lord Wade?”Jeremiah gave him a faint smile. “There have been some things that made me a little anxious, but after Charlie’s return to Eastcliff, most of t

    Never in Jeremiah’s wildest dreams did he imagine that Charlie would give him so much respect and prestige at this auction.It was already a great surprise for him to have the chance to participate in the auction as a VIP. He didn’t expect Charlie to go so far as to give him the grand finale appearance as well.While the grand finale appearance was already good enough, what was even more unexpected was the fact that Jasmine would actually make the call for everyone to stand up and applaud as they welcome his entry. This was simply the highest-ranked treatment for such a grand occasion!After all, the participants were without exception top tycoons whose economic prowess were a thousand times stronger than the Wade family’s.Yet, right this very moment, these people were standing up and applauding his entrance.Jeremiah’s vanity was greatly satisfied. At the same time, such grand treatment made him nervous. He didn’t know whether he should step on his right foot or his left foot

    “If you are aiming for the whole Rejuvenating Pill, please do not participate in the first four auctions for the divided Rejuvenating Pill. Once you successfully acquired a portion of the pill, you will lose the qualifications to bid for the whole Rejuvenating Pill at the auction’s finale.”“Aside from the Rejuvenating Pill, all the goods that you bid in tonight’s auction will be directly reserved and sealed for you, as everyone has paid a deposit of fifty million dollars. If the transaction amount is lower than the security deposit, we will deduct the payment automatically and return the remaining deposit to you. If the transaction amount is higher than the deposit, you will need to make up for the remaining payment as soon as possible after the auction ends.”“Finally, if you bid for the Rejuvenating Pill, our staff will give you a cell phone. You can contact your finance department and request them to complete the transfer as soon as possible. We will give you the Rejuvenating Pil

    As soon as these words fell out of Jasmine’s lips, the crowd burst into excitement.All of them expected the Rejuvenating Pill auction to be pushed to the back and be slowly released after a warm up. To their delight and surprise, it was actually the first item to be auctioned!This was a deliberate arrangement on Charlie’s part. He desired an excitement akin to blowing up a field as soon as it entered into his view. He didn’t need to put in a lot of effort to heat up the field, but simply threw a heavy bomb to denotate and destroy the entire field in an instant. Having the Rejuvenating Pill be the first auction item would also allow the audience to witness its effects with their own eyes in record time. That way, their desire for the pill would be ignited to unprecedented levels. At this moment, Charlie was sitting comfortably in the monitoring room as he watched the live broadcast of the ballroom. “Jasmine’s performance is much better than I had expected. She’s found the ri

    Many were still stunned from astonishment. Amid this, Travis didn’t hesitate to raise his hand and shouted determinedly, “I’ll pay one hundred million US dollars!”Charlie, who was in the monitoring room, smiled admiringly. “Travis Lane is really smart. He knows because of his lacking finances, he’d have to compete for the first quarter. If he can’t win the first quarter, it’d be even more difficult for him to get the next one.”“That’s right.” Isaac pulled up one of the images to show a close-up of Travis’s face. Smiling, he added, “Look, Young Master! Travis’ bid is very impressive, but you can tell from the look on his face that spending so much is very painful for him.”Charlie looked at the close-up and burst into amused laughter. Nodding, he said with a chuckle, “Out of the two hundred people who came today, at least half of them will decide to give up when the starting price is announced. They went through all the trouble to come here because they want to see how powerful the

    Charlie frowned in thought for a while, before saying, "Well, there is a plan, but I can't vouch for the chances. I also need you to cooperate with me and not let anything slip, or everything will go to waste. Can you do that?""I can!" Claire nodded, determined, before quickly asking, "So? What's the plan?""Well, it's not specific," Charlie replied. "We just have to improvise as we go along. Let's just head in for now!"-They left the airport and took a cab to the traffic police's headquarters. Just as she entered, they saw their Cullinan parked outside.Charlie sent Claire in first while he carried her luggage before following.Meanwhile, Elaine was wailing in her room, "I've been married to him for years! Suffering so much pain and humiliation, only for him to hook up with an old flame behind my back! Is it wrong if I struck out?"The traffic police officer was on the verge of a breakdown, but he still said patiently, "Ma'am, I've told you many times—what he did was wrong

    Claire wasn't all that experienced in love and hence didn't know how a person caught in a love triangle would think or why they would experience such terrible mood swings.Still, Charlie's explanation gave her a general idea, and she sighed, "Actually, Dad looked really bad when Matilda came back. He was so obsessed with her that he didn't care if Mom was alive—even bringing her home for dinner. I'd be seething if I was Mom."Charlie sighed in exasperation. "Well, let's not loiter about. Let's go to the traffic police station.""Yeah!" Claire nodded, before holding his arm, "If they're there, that means they're safe, and they won't be fighting with those officers around. So, let's not head over so quickly."Charlie raised a brow. "What are you getting at?"Claire sighed, clearly troubled. "We have to think—how are we going to alleviate this crisis? If it's really as you say and Mom has mostly guessed it right, this fight might just be the start. At best, that fight on the highway

    The traffic police officer smiled in exasperation. "Is there no getting through to you? You could even afford to drive a nice car, and you'd most likely survive an accident. But what if you were left bedridden for a long time? Yell at each other in the same hospital room?"Elaine waved him off. "I don't care—all I know is that I will always get my revenge, and on the spot if possible. If there were superheroes, I would be Wonder Woman!""Urgh…" The traffic police officer was utterly speechless. "How about this? We will call your daughter and have her come over to bail you. She will mediate your fight!"With those words, he returned Elaine's phone to her, and it happened to ring just then.It was a call from Claire.Seeing that the contact name said [Daughter], the traffic police officer quickly said, "Go on, answer it!"Elaine took it and answered the call, and Claire asked urgently before she could say a word, "Mom? Where are you? Where's Dad? Are you both alright?"Elaine sulk

    While Charlie was waiting for Claire at the airport, Jacob and Elaine were taken to the traffic police station.But even in the patrol car, Elaine did not stop lashing out at Jacob.As such, the traffic police had no choice but to call up another patrol car to bring them over separately.Charlie was hence left wondering what those two were up to this time as they were nowhere to be seen when Claire's flight was about to land and weren't answering his texts.Fortunately, Charlie never considered them reliable, so he was fine whether they showed up or not.If they did, they could all head home in the same car.If they didn't, he just had to take a cab home with Claire.It was past three when Claire's private jet landed, and Claire herself cleared the checkpoint in just half an hour, wheeling a trolley with her luggage.Seeing Charlie from afar, she couldn't help quickening her pace as she beamed.Charlie hurried toward her as well, and Claire shoved her trolley aside when they w

    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
