Bernard felt helpless, but was forced to accept Jasmine's conditions as he didn’t have any other choice. With teary eyes, he made an eighty billion US dollars payment and signed a contract agreeing to pay the rest in installments.For the next ten years, he must pay two billion and eight hundred million US dollars to the auction house annually.Once everything was in order, Jasmine finally announced, “Let us congratulate Number 16 for winning the bid for the last Rejuvenating Pill tonight.”At this, Bernard’s gloom disappeared momentarily and he excitedly prepared to go on stage. Meanwhile, the crowd looked disappointed at how things turned out.At last, Jasmine invited Bernard on stage. Then, the staff handed the pill to Bernard and placed it into his mouth.Bernard was shaking in excitement as he ate the pill.The rest of the bidders below the stage watched him closely. They had witnessed the effect of a quarter pill and a half pill, but they had yet to see the effect of a full

The final result was a shocking conclusion. When he came to the auction, he thought that having the pill improve his body’s condition and lessen his risk of cancer recurrence would be more than good enough.Yet, the amazing results went beyond his expectations. Never had he dreamt of such a wondrous miracle! He couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “I had to spend an additional thirty-six billion US dollars for this pill, but this is the most worthwhile purchase I’ve ever made in my life…!”Everyone else in the room watched as Bernard’s appearance transformed to almost twenty years younger. Their jealousy had reached their peak.The Rejuvenating Pill’s full effect was too incredible! Unfortunately, everyone else missed their opportunity to experience it. They would have to wait for at least a year until the next auction for the new batch of Rejuvenating Pills.Jasmine began her closing statement, “Everyone, thank you for your support. The auction tonight has finally come to an e

About three minutes ago, the state's emergency department received an emergency call from the Aurum Mansion, a high-end apartment in Aurous Hill. The expensive apartment units there were sold at eighty thousand dollars per square meter.The caller requested help for a patient who suddenly had a heart attack. Thus, the emergency department assigned the task to the hospital nearest to Aurum Mansion. The hospital then promptly arranged for the ambulance to hurry to the patient.Once the ambulance arrived at Aurum Mansion, four medical officers rushed out of the ambulance and headed to the top floor as fast as they could. All of them were all clad from head to toe in white coats, face masks, and medical hats. No one could see their faces clearly, but many could tell that they were three men and one woman.The four officers took the elevator to the top floor of Aurum Mansion. Following the house number reported in the emergency call, they soon arrived at apartment 2501.In truth, no o

Several soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies led Kathleen, Jordan and Jarvis to board a helicopter. They flew to Lancaster port in the darkness of the night.At this time, a cargo ship full of grain sacks had already raised its anchor and was slowly leaving the port. The crew of this ship were all the most trusted members of Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group. They received the order to set sail overnight, and that several important passengers would be boarding the ship at sea.Even if they were trustworthy, Autumn still kept them from having active contact from the new passengers. This was to ensure that they were kept in the dark about the passengers. When the cargo ship left the brightly lit port and sailed into the darkness of the sea, two helicopters arrived and caught up with the ship. The helicopters then landed on the deck of the cargo ship one after the other.The first person to come out of the first helicopter was Rosalie, followed by several soldiers from Ten Thousand Armi

Rosalie replied with a small smile. “It’s no problem. This is part of my job, and you’re Mr. Wade’s friend.”Rosalie then added, “Mr. Wade said that you and Lord Fox leaving the country must be kept absolutely confidential. Thus, we cannot arrange for you to travel by air. The journey by ship is long, so you’ll need to get used to it. I hope you won’t mind.”“I understand.” Kathleen nodded and said, “I’m already very grateful to Mr. Wade that my grandfather and I are able to leave Aurous Hill.”Rosalie nodded. “I’ve just confirmed with the captain that our destination is the Tartus port in western Syria. For safety reasons, our cargo ship will not be docking anywhere before arriving at Tartus port. Our cargo ship is expected to arrive in Singapore in five days and the Suez Canal in about eighteen days. Including the time needed to queue up to cross the canal, we will arrive at Tartus port in about twenty days.”Kathleen nodded as well and replied gratefully, “Thank you, Miss Schulz

Kathleen tidied up her room a little and after settling down in the ship. Then, she made her way to her grandfather’s room. At that moment, Jarvis was helping Jordan to make the bed. Jordan was sitting on the single sofa in his room, staring blankly at the ceiling.When Jarvis saw Kathleen entering, he said respectfully, “Young Lady.”Kathleen nodded and said somewhat apologetically, “Master Yant, I’m so sorry for implicating you this time. I am afraid that you will not be able to return to your division anytime soon…”Jarvis shook his head. “Young Lady, you don’t need to apologize to me. It’s my duty to protect Lord Fox no matter where I am.”Jarvis then added, “As for returning to my division, I’m too embarrassed to do so anyway. What’s more, Julian’s whereabouts are still unknown. The division sent him here to take over my duties and stay with the Fox family. Now that he’s disappeared, I don’t know how I’d face them.”Kathleen said, “Now that I think about it, Mr. Larson’s pr

Kathleen said, “I don’t know the exact situation either, but Charlie has never revealed his true identity to his wife and his wife’s family. They have no clue, either. They’ve always thought of him as their live-in son-in-law, who’s originally an orphan.”Jordan pondered over this new tidbit for a moment. “It’s surprising that such a big secret could be concealed between a husband and wife. I’d wager the foundation of their relationship isn't strong enough, and they might get a divorce sooner or later.”Kathleen was embarrassed by her grandfather’s unruly words. “I don’t know about that…”Jordan sighed and said to her, “Kathleen. Now that the Fox family has undergone such a huge change, your eldest uncle’s position will remain unshakable if there’s no powerful external force to intervene. When I die, he won’t be merciful to you then. Young Master Wade is your only chance to turn things around…”As Jordan said this, he had one more sentence that he didn’t say out loud.Charlie wasn

Meanwhile, in New York, in the United States. It was now morning in the financial center that was Manhattan.In a conference room on the top floor of a skyscraper, an old man in his seventies was cursing furiously at seven to eight people. He roared, “I just can’t understand how an old man who’s been sent to the hospital can evaporate into thin air! They are all a bunch of fucking losers! Garbage!”The shouting man was Jordan’s eldest son, Spencer Fox. A few hours ago, he had just announced the news of his new ascension to his new position to his father over the phone. He deliberately used provocative words to stimulate the already ill Jordan, so the latter’s body would collapse as soon as possible.From Spencer’s understanding of his father, the phone call would definitely give the man a devastating blow. In fact, it might even lead Jordan to a heart attack and kill him in an instant!Therefore, Spencer had some of his men keep an eye on every move in Aurous Hill.He also s

Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d

Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu

Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe

Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p

Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e

"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
