In Gopher’s case, Claudia was the one who introduced him to the customer. However, he obviously wouldn’t give her a share of the money. He would bypass her role as an introducer and grab the commission fees all for himself.Plus, if he followed Mr. Wade around tonight and accompanied Mr. Wade to gamble, he would be acting as the code boy and could take 25% of whatever amount Mr. Wade loses! Aside from taking the 25% cut, Gopher would also get a 10% share from the remaining 75% of the casino’s revenue.Thinking of this, Gopher’s interest in this mysterious Mr. Wade rose. He was even more ecstatic to meet the man!Wasn’t this just like having the God of Wealth knocking at his door?As such, he grew quite impatient. He couldn’t wait to swindle money from this man! If Mr. Wade happened to lose around a million dollars in his casino, Gopher would be swimming in cash! …Meanwhile, on the other side…Charlie exchanged three hundred thousand Canadian dollars in cash with his own US

Charlie’s arrival delighted Mrs. Lewis, putting her in a joyful mood.She told Stephanie to close the store early. Then, she took Charlie, Stephanie, and Claudia to the market with her to buy ingredients for dinner. Mrs. Lewis bought ingredients for all the dishes she was proficient at making, claiming that she would make a most sumptuous dinner to welcome Charlie. Charlie helped carry the ingredients into the car after their shopping trip ended. Then, they went to Mrs. Lewis’ home in Vancouver. Stephanie was the one who drove.After she started living in Canada, she got her driver’s license and bought a secondhand Chevrolet sedan to drive Mrs. Lewis and Claudia back and forth home and Oskiatown daily. Charlie didn’t expect Stephanie to buy such a low-end secondhand car. Curious, he asked, “Stephanie, why don’t you buy a better car?”Stephanie replied with a smile, “A car’s just a means of transportation. There’s no need to buy something so expensive. Used cars and their insur

Charlie originally wanted to help as well, but Mrs. Lewis drove him out of the kitchen with the excuse that he was a guest from afar. She couldn’t possibly make the guest work in the kitchen.Facing her resolute rejection, Charlie didn’t insist any further. Stephanie took the opportunity to show Charlie around the villa. At eight o’clock, Mrs. Lewis finished preparing a sumptuous meal with Claudia’s aid.Stephanie took out a bottle of juice from the refrigerator. She said to Charlie with a cheery grin, “Brother Charlie, no one drinks liquor here. We take juice instead!”Charlie nodded. He didn’t mind. He followed her lead, took the juice bottle from her, and poured it into four cups. Mrs. Lewis was in a particularly good mood. She picked up her glass and smiled as she cheered, “Come! Let’s drink together and welcome Charlie to Canada!”Stephanie applauded immediately. Smiling as well, she added, “Welcome, Brother Charlie! I hope you’ll visit us in Vancouver more often in futu

The pleasant dinner soon came to an end. Claudia and Stephanie helped Mrs. Lewis to clean up the table and do the dishes. Suddenly, Claudia’s cell phone rang. It was Gopher.As Claudia answered the call, Gopher’s voice came from the other end. “Claudia, I’m already in front of Stephanie’s house. Tell Mr. Wade to come out.”Claudia said, “Wait a moment. I’ll talk to him.”With that said Claudia hung up and whispered to Charlie, “Mr. Wade… No, Brother Charlie. Gopher’s already at the door.”Charlie nodded. He went to Stephanie and said, “Stephanie, why don’t you accompany me out for a walk if you have nothing to do?”Stephanie knew at once that Charlie was going to Gopher’s casino. She agreed without hesitation and said, “Sure, Brother Charlie. Wait for me.”After that, she said to Mrs. Lewis, “Mrs. Lewis, I’m taking Brother Charlie out for a walk. You don’t have to clean up the dishes. Just ask Claudia to put them in the dishwasher later.”Mrs. Lewis laughed. “That’s alright. I d

Gopher was surprised. “Are they coming as well?” Charlie replied casually, “I’m bringing the both of them for some fun. Why, can’t I do that?”Gopher originally planned to kidnap Stephanie tonight, and had already arranged the manpower to carry out that plan. Not wanting to delay it, he feigned concern and said worriedly, “A casino isn’t suitable for young ladies. It’s not a good idea to bring them there. What do you think?”Charlie frowned. He didn’t bother to consider Gopher’s suggestion and quickly turned to Claudia. “Claudia, do you know of any other casinos? Let’s go there instead.”Gopher immediately panicked. If Charlie didn’t come to his casino, the most he would lose was his commission for the night. But if Charlie took Stephanie and Claudia with him to another casino, he would lose not only his commission, but also his chance to kidnap Stephanie. The casino was a place where people would go in and play until dawn. Charlie was a rich customer with hundreds of thousa

When Charlie, Stephanie, and Claudia followed Gopher, they realized that there was another hidden room downstairs. A large hall hosting about one hundred and fifty to sixty square meters entered their vision, filled with all types of gambling tables.A dealer stood at every gambling table. Yet, some tables had less customers than the others.It only took Charlie one glance to know that business was terrible. Half of the gambling tables had no customers. Some tables had only one player, and other tables had at most three to five players. Suffice to say, it made for a rather dull mood. Charlie frowned and grumbled in a disappointed tone, “Your establishment has very few customers. Why is that?”His question embarrassed Gopher, who was unsure how to reply.Business was getting worse and worse recently, with fewer customers frequenting the establishment. However, he couldn’t possibly reveal this to Charlie. He plastered a cheery grin and said offhandedly, “We came early. Many of

Very soon, Gopher diligently brought a tray of colorful chips to Charlie.The value of the chips started from one hundred Canadian dollars, and it went up to five hundred and one thousand dollars. He handed the chips over to Charlie with an oily smile. “Here, your chips!” Charlie nodded and waved his hand without a care, saying indifferently, “You hold it.”“I…” Gopher was stunned. Once again, anger boiled in him. Charlie took five one-thousand-dollar chips and stuffed them into Gopher’s pocket, saying casually, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you work in vain.”Gopher’s anger vanished as a stunned expression colored his face. He immediately assumed Charlie to be an avid gambler who had been around casinos all year round. In fact, Charlie was so generous that he was already giving Gopher a tip of five thousand Canadian dollars! Gopher hurriedly put on a flattering grin and said, “Oh! Thank you so much, Mr. Wade!”He started treating Charlie with utmost politeness, to the point of

Charlie won again in the second round.After winning two hands in a row, his mood seemed to have skyrocketed. He threw a large handful of one-hundred-dollar chips to Gopher and said, “Change them all into a thousand. A hundred is much too little.”Gopher nodded eagerly and handed the order to a passing waiter.Charlie casually counted his chips before throwing in ten thousand dollars with a small smile. “I want to beat the dealer three times in a row tonight!”Seeing that Charlie was full of confidence and wanted to take advantage of the situation, Gopher immediately winked at the dealer.This round, neither Charlie nor the dealer had a big hand. The dealer was only one point larger than Charlie. So, the dealer won Charlie’s chips and paid out to the other two players. However, the other players’ bets were miniscule in amount. One was a hundred, and the other was two hundred. Thus, the dealer took back all of his previous losses and even made a profit.Unbeknownst to the deal

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
