Jordan was left with no choice and could only agree with Charlie. He said respectfully, “Mr. Wade. Right now, I also think that Kathleen is the most suitable person to be the next head of the family.”Charlie nodded. At last, he turned to Kathleen and prompted her, “Miss Fox, what do you think?”Kathleen was a little nervous. She had never entertained any thoughts of becoming the head of the family. Plus, there had never been a female head in the Fox family’s long history.Her intention was very simple. She only wanted to strive for benefits for her parents and siblings before Jordan’s death. She was worried that her family would be driven away right after Jordan’s death.She wanted a place in the Fox family through her own efforts, but she never thought about becoming the family’s leader.Therefore, she felt a little lost, not knowing what to do.Charlie, on the other hand, knew Kathleen was different from Jasmine and Princess Helena.Jasmine had no parents and was very close w
Charlie’s statement startled Kathleen.She had been at sea all this time, and thus lost contact with her parents. On her return to American soil and the Fox family, she didn’t have the opportunity to see her parents and siblings.She concluded that Spencer had kicked out her family from the Fox family after he snatched power away from Jordan.Whenever a new head in a big family rose to power, he would first suppress those who might be a threat to him. He would also remove those he disliked from the family, keeping only the loyal ones around. Once his position had stabilized, the loyal hands would be removed as a way of controlling potential threats.The siblings who had been kicked out would become distant relatives.If Kathleen refused to become the next head, her family would not be able to return to the Fox family. They could only leave the family and reestablish themselves again with limited assets.Thinking of that, she gritted her teeth and finally decided to bite the bulle
Jordan became a little emotional and said gravely, “I only have one or two years left. I’ve accepted my fate after going through so many ordeals. Money is no longer the most important thing anymore.”Charlie was pleased and nodded at Jordan’s words. “I know it wasn’t easy for you to be where you are today. Now, you’re already so old. You’ve earned so much money, but in the end, it’s meaningless to you. To top it off, your son wanted to kill you because of the money. I can’t help but feel sorry for you.”Jordan sighed, melancholy written all over his face. “You’re right, Mr. Wade. Money is indeed meaningless for someone my age.”Charlie smiled and said, “It is, but I can give you a chance to use that money.”Jordan was startled for a moment. He quickly asked, “Mr. Wade… What do you mean?”Charlie replied indifferently, “Haven’t you always wanted to buy the Rejuvenating Pill? If I remember correctly, you made a bid of two hundred and ten billion US dollars in the auction in Aurous H
Jordan was overjoyed to see Kathleen’s unwavering decision. Even so, he still remained cautious.Kathleen agreed to buy the Rejuvenating Pill, but she did not mention if she had bought it for him.Having gone through several ups and downs in recent times, Jordan had grown to be concerned and highly alert over such matters, even if they seemed insignificant.Just as he thought of this, Kathleen gazed at him and said solemnly, “Grandpa, I’ll transfer the payment to Mr. Wade soon. You can have the Rejuvenating Pill.”Jordan was relieved to hear her statement. He was so excited, he burst into tears.He wanted a Rejuvenating Pill so badly, but he came to the conclusion that he was fated not to have one. Yet, Charlie and Kathleen gave him such a huge surprise and granted his dream!So excited he was, he choked up as he thanked Charlie over and over again. “Mr. Wade… Thank you… Thank you! I will remember your kindness forever!”Charlie waved his hand and said solemnly, “Lord Fox, I hav
That was the only way for Jordan to acquire the remaining pills. He would receive three quarter pills on three separate occasions in order for him to realize his dream of living for another decade or two.Jordan had lived for more than ninety years. He was a wise man, and immediately understood Charlie’s reason. It was evident that Charlie wanted to keep him in check. Even so, how could he complain about it?He sighed in his heart, mournful. ‘If Charlie still needs me, I can live. If not, what else can I do but die?’Upon coming to this realization, Jordan did not hesitate to say, “Mr. Wade, let’s go with your plan. I have no objections.”Charlie nodded and turned to Kathleen. “Miss Fox, do you have any problems with this arrangement?”Kathleen hurriedly replied, “I-I… I’m fine… I’m fine with your arrangement, Mr. Wade!”Kathleen finally understood Charlie’s reason for doing things in such a manner. He was helping her.She was very grateful for him and thought, ‘Mr. Wade is so k
To Charlie, family unity was the key to prosperity. Uniting the family would reduce internal friction and the family could focus their energy on meaningful work. Even a family of poor peasants would eventually prosper with strong unity.But if there was division and friction within the family, they would instead spend most of their energy in fighting each other.As a result, the family would not have enough energy to do meaningful work and advance. Instead, they would regress.If the members continued to go against one another, even a family with trillions would exhaust all their resources someday.Thus, Charlie deliberately reminded Kathleen to constantly keep her family in check. She must make sure that everyone could keep up with her pace and be on the same page. If she discovered any problems, she must not be soft-hearted and must remove the source of the problem at once.Kathleen understood Charlie’s intentions. She promptly nodded and said, “Mr. Wade, don’t worry. I’ll pay a
Jarvis was surprised to find out that Cason had lost all his power. Cason had turned into an ordinary person without any cultivation skills whatsoever. Shocked, Jarvis blurted out, “Cason, what happened to you?!”Because Cason was giving Charlie full attention, he did not see anyone else. When he heard Jarvis’s voice, he finally realized that Jarvis had finally returned after a long time. He immediately sobbed, looking like a pitiful and wronged child.“Jarvis… You’re finally back…” Jarvis hurriedly stepped forward and supported Cason. He asked in a sorrowful tone, “Cason, what happened to your power?!” Cason was filled with so much regret. Remorseful, he wept bitterly, “Jarvis, I lost my power early this afternoon. I was blind and acted rudely to Mr. Wade when he came for lunch today. In retaliation, Mr. Wade destroyed my power and ordered me to kneel in the dining room until this very moment…”A thought occurred to him and he muttered, “Jarvis, Mr. Wade said someone would come
Charlie’s question sent Jarvis panicking slightly. He could barely hide his nervousness.“Mr. Wade, please don’t be angry… If this isn’t enough, I’ll knock out a few of his teeth right now! I-if that isn’t enough… I’ll break his leg! I’ll make it up for you!”Charlie waved his hand faintly and said, “No need. He accidentally offended me in the afternoon, and I’ve made him kneel until now. I’m sure he has learnt from his mistakes.” Hearing that, Cason hurriedly knelt on the floor and earnestly repented, “Mr. Wade, I’ve learnt from my mistakes! Please, pardon me…”Charlie nodded, indifferent. “Fine. I won’t continue to hold you at fault.” Cason was thrilled. He immediately bowed again and again and said gratefully, “Thank you, Mr. Wade! Thank you for your kindness! Thank you!”Charlie said, “You don’t have to thank me so quickly. I won’t continue to be angry, but I won’t help you restore your power. This is the price to pay for your mistakes.” Cason’s excited face immediately t
