Se connecterHence, Claire bowed at Jeevika again. "Thank you, Master Jeevika!"Reluctant to stay, she took two steps backward, nodded and said softly, "I'll be going now."As she turned to leave, a curious Momo went up to her. "Ms. Wilson? What took you so long?"Claire had no idea Momo was a part of the conspiracy, and forced a smile. "I guessed I asked too many questions and it really dragged on. Go on in—I'll wait outside." Momo nodded, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Ms. Wilson? Where did you get those flowers?""I-It's a present from Master Jeevika," Claire replied awkwardly. "He said we seemed connected, and told me to take them home and care for them."Momo's eyes widened in curiosity. "Whoa, that sounds so mystical… But I guess I should go in now. I'll be right back, Ms. Wilson!"Claire nodded, watching as Momo headed into Feather Hall.Once inside, Momo found both Stephen and Jeevika around, and hurried over, asking in a hushed voice, "What should I do now, Mr. Thompson?"Steph
Humans are creatures of hindsight most of the time, and it was only now that Claire realized that she fell for Charlie.But with the strange way things started between them, they couldn't get their relationship on the right track.And now, it was too late to change course.She knew full well that she had every reason to leave Charlie—whether temporarily or permanently, she needed to be gone from his world.And that meant she missed the best timing to properly develop a relationship.Seeing the pain on her face, Stephen knew in his mind that this wouldn't be easy for Claire.For Claire, it's not just leaving her husband, but also her entire social circle. It was she and her parents who needed to vanish from the place they lived without leaving any clues, not to mention that it was even more difficult now that she correctly guessed the connection between Quinn and Charlie. Feeling a little sympathy for Claire just then, Stephen sighed. "Mrs. Wade… You really don't have to worry t
After thinking about it for a while, Stephen sighed and said, "Since you've taken the trouble to ask, then I shall give you the truth… Ms. Golding's parents were best friends with Curtis Wade and Ashley Acker, and they've mutually decided to betroth Ms. Golding to Master Charlie."And since she was a child, Ms. Golding always considered herself Master Charlie's fiancee. Even though he had gone missing for decades, she still held on to that conviction."Claire was shocked by the answer.But more than that, her heart hurt—not just because Charlie hid his heritage from her, but because she knew for a fact that Charlie and Quinn were reunited! Why else would Charlie bring her along to have dinner with Quinn?! That left Claire even more troubled.To some extent, she could understand why Charlie would hide his heritage from her.But he brought her along to meet another woman, with whom he was engaged to! All while she was still kept in the dark!That part was a bit too much to take.
Stephen smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, Mrs. Wade. We're not keeping this from Master Charlie forever—once the dust settles and he exacts his revenge, we will tell him the truth."Claire pursed her lips, nodding after pondering for a long while. "If that's what's best for Charlie, then let's go with that. We will disappear from his world.""May I ask when you intend to do so?" Stephen asked. "I will make all the arrangements."Claire was suddenly hesitant, and thought about it for a long while until she eventually said, "Charlie agreed to spend the New Year's with us in the Maldives. We've been married for years, but we've never gone anywhere together, so I'd rather not miss it. "Also, it's Charlie's birthday on the second day of the second month in the Oskian calendar. I'd like to celebrate it with him… if it's not too much to ask?"Stephen nodded in understanding. "I know where you're coming from, but may I ask what plans you have on that day? Or where you might be? So we can
Stephen smiled wryly. "Far as I know, even ten Master Charlie as he is now won't stand a chance."His face was wrinkled, but his eyes were clear looked Claire straight in the eye and sighed, "Please, Mrs. Wade. That is why I'm asking that you leave Master Charlie for the time being. He never told you anything because he didn't want to get you involved—to protect you. "However, it also puts him under a lot of pressure and distracts him. Surely you remember the time when your mother went missing for a while?"Claire nodded. "Yeah, she was tricked into a pyramid scheme…""That's not actually the case," Stephen smiled, shaking his head. "Your mother stole Master Charlie's debit card, which contained ten billion Oskian dollars that Jeremiah Wade entrusted me to wire into his account. Once your mother managed to find the pin code, she wired all the money to herself."Master Charlie was therefore worried he would be exposed, and lied that it was a fake debit card to cover his tracks. He
Even before Claire could understand what Jeevika was saying, she could see the withering flowers coming to life again.The flowers that had turned ashen brown were suddenly vibrant and colorful again, the dried twigs and petals fresh and alive.Having never seen anything like that before, Claire was left completely dumbfounded.In her mind, life once lost couldn't be regained.So why was Jeevika able to restore life to those flowers?It really shattered everything she was taught for years, or what she thought of this world.But soon, she could even smell the faint fragrant scent of the flowers—it was fresh and natural. It was no sleight of hand—it was definitely nothing short of pure magic!Gaping at Jeevika, she blurted, 'H-How did you do this? How are you capable of such miracles?""Amitabha," Jeevika replied calmly. "But such paltry sticks are insignificant to Master Charlie's power."Claire was even more dumbstruck at that. "You're saying… Charlie can do this too?!""Of
Late at night, a cargo ship set sail from the Blue Bay, carrying Stephen to Tahiti in the South Pacific.Stephen stood at the stern of the ship and felt a wave of emotions as he watched the city grow further and further away in the night. He was once a trusted aide of Charlie's father, Curtis. Twenty
This popular temple was now closed to visitors.Ashley was standing in the courtyard alone, surrounded by the lingering scent of incense. She gazed at the bright moon above and felt a mix of emotions. She longed dearly for her son, Charlie, whom she hadn't seen in twenty years.The distance between Ha
Charlie didn't expect that while camping in the mountains of Yorkshire Hill, he would encounter two young cancer patients. What surprised him even more was that both of these individuals had wanted to participate in the clinical trials of Apothecary Pharmaceutical in Aurous Hill, but they were both
Leni sighed softly and asked him, “Mr. Smith, will you be bringing Jimmy over, then? If you're coming together with us, I'll wait for you at the entrance of Apothecary Pharmaceutical.”Jameson pondered for a moment and clenched his teeth, saying, “There's a saying in Oskia that ‘it’s better to have f
